<<I think the facts have proven against the contention that the croud was shouting (N____) anything like fifteen times , such a thing could hardly have escaped all of the numerous microphones or reporters present , once or twice at a low level perhaps could get by but fifteen shouts no way.>>
Give it up, plane, FIVE WITNESSES WHO WERE WITH CONGRESSMAN LEWIS heard the shouts of "nigger" from the crowd. The whole fucking crowd was shouting and yet the mikes did not pick up one fucking word from that cacaphony, why on earth would you expect that the N-word, if shouted, would have been the one word that the mikes could have picked up? That's not irrational, that's just plain crazy.
<<So why such an eagerness to slur this croud?>>
Slurs them? It is an undeniable fact that shouts of "nigger!" (and also "faggot!") came from this crowd.
The real question, in face of the undeniable facts, is "Why such an eagerness to whitewash these racist scum?" Or, "Why such an eagerness to deny such obvious facts?"
<<Could it be that there is no case for complaint against them , or little contradiction for their case without accuseing the whole bunch of them of racism?>>
Why don't you tell me what other group but the Tea Party could attract a crowd from which, in addition to the threats of gun violence on signs, you would get shouts of "Nigger!" and "Faggot!" from the angry mob? Do you see this behaviour at congresses of industrial psychologists? At linguistic conventions? At any meetings convened in support of Cindy Sheehan?
I'm just asking, where else, associated with what other cause (apart from the KKK or the Aryan Nations) would you find this kind of anti-black, anti-gay bigotry? Where else?
<<What they are worried about is being saddled with an innefective system that is ruinously expensive and that enables the government to grow ever more intruseive into the privite lives of the citizens. This they sayin quiet tones when the occasion allows , but on the street, in a mass, they cannot read complex treatises in unison , chanting crouds need something punchy and short simular to bumpersticker slogans. "Kill the Bill" seems like a pretty good choice.>>
It was their ignorance that led them to those fears, the ignorance and the fears being deliberately created, fed and stoked by the GOP, by their talk-show hosts, by their politicians angling for the extreme right-wing edge of the GOP and by GOP spokespersons eager to bring down Obama by hook or by crook. That mob was manipulated and organized, the fears exaggerated and irrational, and it's no accident that they were whipped into such an agitated state. And since the beneficiaries of the policies of the Obama government are disproportionately poor and black, the movement (a) necessarily attracts the racists and bigots and (b) encourages the latent racism and bigotry even among those whose motivation may be, as you described it, purely economic in the first instance. They feed on one another, and the product is pure poison.
<<Everything elese that everyone elese was saying was unintelligable,...>>
Unintelligible to the mikes, yes. But not to the people at the scene, all five of whom DID hear "nigger" as reported. Is it really all that hard for you to believe that those angry people, or some within their ranks, were shouting "nigger!"
Is that really so incomprehensible?
Personally, I am not in the least surprised. I know the American people.
