Wow.  WHO SEZ these guys aren't racists and fascists??  I called them the moment I saw them for the first time.  Only a moron could miss what was really generating all that anger and rage.  The colour of the man's skin.  Only an idiot could listen to them or watch them for just one single minute and not recognize them for the racist scum that they are.     

The angry Tea Party mob surrounded Democratic members of Congress in Washington, spat on one of them and called others niggers and faggots.  The more frustrated they get, the easier their true colours come out.

Check out the signs they carry - - one is threatening the Democrats with a poster of a Browning semi-automatic pistol and the words, "If Brown Can't Stop it, maybe Browning can!"

Here's the story:

Tea Party Protests: 'Ni**er,' 'Fa**ot' Shouted At Members Of Congress
Abusive, derogatory and even racist behavior directed at House Democrats by Tea Party protesters on Saturday left several lawmakers in shock.
Preceding the president's speech to a gathering of House Democrats, thousands of protesters descended around the Capitol to protest the passage of health care reform. The gathering quickly turned into abusive heckling, as members of Congress passing through Longworth House office building were subjected to epithets and even mild physical abuse.
A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) had been spat on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a 'ni--er.' And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "faggot," as protestors shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president's speech, shrugged off the incident.
But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
"It was absolutely shocking to me," Clyburn said, in response to a question from the Huffington Post. "Last Monday, this past Monday, I stayed home to meet on the campus of Claflin University where fifty years ago as of last Monday... I led the first demonstrations in South Carolina, the sit ins... And quite frankly I heard some things today I have not heard since that day. I heard people saying things that I have not heard since March 15, 1960 when I was marching to try and get off the back of the bus."
"It doesn't make me nervous as all," the congressman said, when asked how the mob-like atmosphere made him feel. "In fact, as I said to one heckler, I am the hardest person in the world to intimidate, so they better go somewhere else."
Asked if he wanted an apology from the group of Republican lawmakers who had addressed the crowd and, in many ways, played on their worst fears of health care legislation, the Democratic Party, and the president, Clyburn replied:

"A lot of us have been saying for a long time that much of this, much of this is not about health care a all. And I think a lot of those people today demonstrated that this is not about health care... it is about trying to extend a basic fundamental right to people who are less powerful."
UPDATE 6:55 PM ET: Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's office released the following statement:
For many of the members of the CBC, like John Lewis and Emanuel Cleaver who worked in the civil rights movement, and for Mr. Frank who has struggled in the cause of equality, this is not the first time they have been spit on during turbulent times.

This afternoon, the Congressman was walking into the Capitol to vote, when one protester spat on him. The Congressman would like to thank the US Capitol Police officer who quickly escorted the others Members and him into the Capitol, and defused the tense situation with professionalism and care. After all the Members were safe, a full report was taken and the matter was handled by the US Capitol Police. The man who spat on the Congressman was arrested, but the Congressman has chosen not to press charges. He has left the matter with the Capitol Police.
This is not the first time the Congressman has been called the "n" word and certainly not the worst assault he has endured in his years fighting for equal rights for all Americans. That being said, he is disappointed that in the 21st century our national discourse has devolved to the point of name calling and spitting. He looks forward to taking a historic vote on health care reform legislation tomorrow, for the residents of the Fifth District of Missouri and for all Americans. He believes deeply that tomorrow's vote is, in fact, a vote for equality and to secure health care as a right for all. Our nation has a history of struggling each time we expand rights. Today's protests are no different, but the Congressman believes this is worth fighting for.

No proof that the epitaph hurlers were members of any Tea Party organization  In fact I'd like to see a police report detailing these alleged transgressions. Might turnout that the trouble makers are agent provocateurs.


Wouldn't be the first time.

Check out the signs.  They're Tea Partiers alright, but the problem is, there's no official Tea Party that they can sign up for and get membership cards.

The situation is similar to abortion clinic bombings.  Each time a clinic is bombed or a doctor is killed, the "pro-life"  (LOL at the "pro-life" in the circumstances) movement heads for the hills.  "Wasn't us"  "Ain't one a ourn"  "Never seen the guy before in my life" etc., they can't run fast enough from the guy, even though he talks their talk and walks their walk.  Same thing with the Tea Partiers - - "They ain't none a ourn"  "Those ain't Tea Partiers, they'se libruls" etc.

I'm not even going to get into it.  It isn't worth the time.  In a week or so, we'll see pictures of the "bad" Tea Partiers taken today in Washington and photos of the same wackos taken at earlier Tea Parties in various parts of the nation.  By then the argument  will have moved to, "Well sure THOSE guys are Tea Partiers but there's no evidence that they were the ones shouting "Nigger" and "Faggot" and spitting etc.   THAT was all done by provocateurs. 

It's sad - - nobody taking credit for their actions any more.  Even among the Nazis, Rudolf Hoess took credit for the murder of Walther Kadow, and so did Ernst Kaltenbrunner.  They were at least proud of what they had done and the Nazi Party was proud of them.  Here nobody comes forward to admit to anything and their own party is running away from them as fast as it can.  They don't make fascists the way they used to.

nor the last time

doing stuff like that so as to lay blame on the opposition is something right out of the liberal playbook, page 47.

<<doing stuff like that so as to lay blame on the opposition is something right out of the liberal playbook, page 47.>>

You're delusional.  It's pure GOP.  Look up Richard Nixon, Don Segretti, White House Plumbers and Dirty Tricks Squad.  Before you were born, Kramer.  It's that old and it's that Republican.

The tea party is independent of the GOP, which is why this story is suspicious.

And it is that possibly the explanation.

As crudely as this event appears I wouldn't be surprised.

I hope this helps to set you straight

Thanks, it was interesting.  Proves Democrats CAN learn from the GOP.

But back to the topic at hand - - whereas Malkin found ONE dishonest individual (plus the Democratic lady who paid him) the Tea Party mob who spat and hurled racist and sexist insults were just TOO MANY to fake.  I am still convinced they were the real thing.  Just too hard to find that many fakes and round 'em all up for the one demo.

Video appears to dispute lawmaker's claim of protesters' racial slurs

By Kerry Picket

March 20, 2010

Rep. Andre Carson, Indiana Democrat, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, claims
that "tea party" protesters hurled racial slurs at fellow CBC member Rep. John Lewis, Georgia Democrat.
Mr. Carson said that "hundreds of people" were chanting, "Kill the bill," and he heard "at least 15 times"
the "n-word" being thrown around.


Congressional Black Caucus 3 20 2010

"It just happened on the way to votes. Coming out of [the Cannon House Office Building] . . .
John Lewis chief of staff came with us. It was just the three of us walking down the steps.
'Kill the bill, kill the bill.'  . . . 'n-word' fifteen times," he said. "Capitol Police finally became
aware and began protecting us."

The video above was taken as Mr. Lewis and Mr. Carson walked toward a crowd of protesters,
and racial epithets from the crowd appear to be absent from the scene captured.

A U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman said she was unaware of any law enforcement inquiry into
the incidents.

Rep Emanuel Cleaver II, Missouri Democrat, who is black, claimed he was spat on by a protester.
Mr. Cleaver's office reportedly said Capitol Police arrested the protester, but his office did not press
charges. However, Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of the U.S. Capitol Police said in an e-mail to the L.A. Times,
"We did not make any arrests today."

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Maryland Democrat released a statement Saturday night condemning the
reported allegations.

"Today's protests against health insurance reform saw a rash of despicable, inflammatory behavior,
much of it directed at minority Members of Congress," Mr. Hoyer said. "According to reports, anti-reform
protestors spat on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, yelled a sexual slur at Rep. Barney Frank, and addressed my dear
friend, Rep. John Lewis, with a racial slur that he has sadly heard far too many times."

The Washington Times caught up with several health care bill protesters, all three of whom
are black, and asked their thoughts on the allegations regarding the racial epithets.

Tea Party protesters mob Reps Lewis, Carson, Cummings

Bill Owens Jr., a Tea Party Express leader from Las Vegas, said he did not experience or witness
any racial hostility.

"I had a chance to be among these people. It's not about pigmentation. You have race issues going
on all the time; however, I'm not seeing anything significant from these rallies. It's just not there,"
he said. "Does a person find a racist once in a while? . . . Sure, you find that anywhere. These people
are concerned about the issues of where you stand, not what color you are."

Charlene Freedman, a health care bill protester from New Jersey, has been to Washington four times,
since she first attended the 9/12 rally. When asked if she witnessed or heard any racial hostility from
the crowd, she said: "Absolutely not . . . just well-wishers. I didn't see color. They didn't see my color.
We're just American citizens, and we're here to say, 'Keep America free.' I've heard nothing about
racism . . . nothing at all."

Jay Jarbo came to the health care protest from Atlanta and explained: "I just want to see them follow
the Constitution, and they're not doing that. Anyone that tries to throw around the racial thing, just
squash it, because this has nothing to do with race. I haven't heard anyone say anything about race
at any one of these events," Mr. Jarbo said. "Honestly, this is the type of thing people bring up to
distract from the real issues, and it's always about race in this country, and its always the last card
in the deck that everyone plays."

looks like you shut mike up. it's been a while since I've seen that happen.

[Michael Tee]

There was a lot of noise in the video.  Apart from the stuff that was chanted in unison, it was impossible to make out any slogans or random taunts.

If the Congressman heard "nigger!" 15 times, I believe him.  Just because nobody heard it in the videos is absolutely meaningless.  "Kill the Bill" was audible because it was chanted in unison.  The rest of the noise was a din of conflicting shouts and slogans, but I defy anyone to pick out one sentence or even one word from that cacaphony.  That does NOT mean that the Congressman wouldn't be able to hear "Nigger" if shouted at him from close by.

I know one thing FOR SURE and that's Democrat politicians have been lying a lot lately.
