Breitbart thinks he got a correction:

The Political Times column last Sunday, about a generational divide over racial attitudes, erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members. - The New York Times

This wasn’t a correction- it was a further calumny.

1. They make an unsupported allegation about other tea-party racist statements. That’s what got them into this mess.
2. They imply (quite strongly) that somebody made racist statements at the capital… but they just can’t prove 100% that they were teapartiers.  Wink.

A REAL retraction would explain that there is no evidence, despite mounds of video and audio evidence, that any racial slur was uttered by anyone that day.  This pile of garbage was a non-apology apology that managed to make further unsupportable claims.
