If you haven't seen these tweets, Daily Beast national security reporter Eli Lake, referred to the Washington Redskins as ‘Washington Racists’... Apparently, the reporter was cued in to a the Twitchy story and has since said that tweets were coming from the perspective of the Philadelphia Eagles fan. Just for the record, The Daily Beast is a liberal leaning politidcal blog.
Lately, the Washington Redskins name has been under attack by the US Senate. The democratic led senate wants to take the NFL's tax-exempt status away from them if the Redskins don't change their name.
To those responding to this twitchy item, the tweet reflects my bias as an Eagles fan. Nothing more. http://t.co/z1FFTe2HF1
