Wash. Post repeats falsehood about why Casey was denied 1992 convention speaking slot

SUMMARY: Echoing a longtime, much-repeated falsehood, The Washington Post asserted that former Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey Sr. "was denied a speaking slot at Bill Clinton's nominating convention in 1992 because of his opposition to abortion." In fact, others who opposed abortion rights were given speaking roles at the convention, so Casey's opposition to abortion rights alone could not have been the deciding factor in the decision not to give him a speaking role.
