Media Lying About Racist Attacks on Black Reps By Tea Party Protesters… VIDEO PROOF
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, March 20, 2010, 11:36 PM
It’s come to this…
The state-run media is now pushing their anti-tea party propaganda from sources at the anti-military Jew-hating conservative-hating Huffington Post. And, they’re reporting this propaganda without a single piece of evidence.
On Saturday the media reported without a shred of evidence that tea party protesters were shouting obscenities and “n***er” at black Representatives on Capitol Hill. The representatives said it happened as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building.
The Huffington Post is concerned that those conservative, church-going, taxpaying tea party protesters are using words like “slaughter” on their signs.
This McClatchy News story was one of the top articles on Yahoo on Saturday Night:
Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia’s John Lewis
Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted “nigger” Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis , a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.
The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus , lawmakers said.
“They were shouting, sort of harassing,” Lewis said. “But, it’s okay, I’ve faced this before. It reminded me of the 60s. It was a lot of downright hate and anger and people being downright mean.”
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver , D- Mo. , said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard “nigger.”
“It was a chorus,” Cleaver said. “In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff – they’re being whipped up. I decided I wouldn’t be angry with any of them.”
Protestors also used a slur as they confronted Rep. Barney Frank , D- Mass. , an openly gay member of Congress . A writer for Huffington Post said the crowd called Frank a “faggot.”
But, look at this…
Here’s video proof that these horrible leftists are liars:
No one screamed “n***er.” No one screamed “f*ggot.” No one was spit on.
Do you suppose the state-run media will correct their propaganda piece now?
Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver says he will not press charges for being spit on. That’s probably a good idea.
REMEMBER: These radical liars with stop at nothing to ram their socialist agenda down America’s throat. And, the state-run media will report their racist filth without question.

Are we surprised that they’re lying? They have nothing left but propaganda…
Moonbeam commented:
I first heard this story on Fox News and knew right away it was BS. Huff Poo had some plants there if this did in fact happen.
Consider the sources. We have nothing but thugs in our White House along with the media trash. Oh.. and SEIU and ACORN too.
Just dispicable!!

Send this video to every person you know… pretty much everything you see on the news is now a lie.
A racist is now any person who is against Obama.

Thanks DJ– I posted the video.

They won’t bother to correct the reports. After all, somebody COULD HAVE BEEN THINKING IT, and that’s just as bad, dontcha know.
I really am beginning to despise those characters on the left.
logic101 commented:
It seems like the better behaved our protesters are, the greater the license the media takes to slander and ridicule them. Is anyone surprised?
kay commented:
this is war and they’re playing to win.
Coburn finally gets it. Boehner and the congressman from Wisconsin gets it. Hatch is about as daring as a cup of warm tea with his remark ‘they’re nuts’ (ya think Sen. Hatch? – doh).
*
It was a good thing this video was offered up as proof. Now we’ll see if someone from their side with hollywood connections can fabricate something out of thin air.
*
“Cleaver, a few yards from Louis…..” a yard equals 3 feet. a few yards (let’s see – a couple would be 2 yards = 6 ft, a few could be 3 or 4 so let’s use that) x 3 feet would be 9-12 feet away. From the noise on that video, how could anyone hear a “chant” other than the one on the video of “kill the bill”. Maybe one of the old people whispered it as Lewis walked by and Cleaver heard the remaining “r” as he walked passed the old biddy.
*
IMO: bs claim, more psy warfare as we then have to defend instead of being on the offensive in this war. Hey Cleaver – NOT HAPPENING DUDE.
darko2k commented:
Hah, the state controlled media is also reporting unconfirmed numbers of protesters that ‘appear’ to be a few hundred. That small snipped of a video shows way more than a few hundred…
Not that I’m surprised they can’t count.
BarbaraS commented:
Has anyone wondered why these congressmen walked through these crowds like they did? Were they hoping for some altercations the media could report on and were disappointed. They would have loved being attacked by the crowds and you could tell they expected it. Body language says it all. The media and these congressmen didn’t get what they wanted so they made sh*t up.
jainphx commented:
The right thinking people of this great country have withstood 14 months of this garbage. The anger is palpable and can be felt as it lingers on and on. they don’t listen, make that wont listen, something is going to snap. How far can you push good people, before they start pushing back. The left is making us very weak to the rest of the world by having us at each others throats. If some enemy decides that we are preoccupied were in for trouble. I’m beginning to really hate the left for what they are willfully doing.
thebronze commented:
It’s AMAZING how “Kill The Bill!” sounds exactly “Kill The N*gger!” or “Kill The F*ggot!”…
Libs LIE. We should take that on faith.
Redwine commented:
Is there some way that the organizers of the Tea Party movement can sue the media for defamation?
tdpwells commented:
What a crock. There were police there – they are visible in the vid…even if the congressman hadn’t reacted when spit on, the cops would have.
AuntieMadder commented:
I would have called the CBC a bunch of Castro-loving, fascist wannabes. The protesters there, however, were much more reserved than that.
As for the use of the word “slaughter,” they threated to use the Slaughte Rule to pass the stinkin’ bill, so of course the word would pop up on banners and signs carried by protesters. Creative use of words is catchy and the Tea Partiers are nothing if not creative. And, also an “of course,” PuffHo and the rest of the left will try to make more of it than it is.
jainphx is right. The way the left keeps pushing the right, at some point, conservatives are going to push back. That’s when liberals are going to find out that conservatives are a lot tougher than they may appear to be.
el polacko commented:
‘barbaraS’ makes an excellent point : why this procession through the crowd at all ?? they are usually notorious for getting the heck out of town when there is a protest, but this one time they decided to stroll, en masse, through the crowd ? they were begging to be insulted, but as this video proves, the crowd was only interested in killing the bill not insulting them based on race or sexual orientation.
Just_Saying commented:
Don’t you wonder what else is being silently passed/implemented while the focus is on health care??
.
AuntieMadder commented:
Regarding the media, listening to Fox News today one would think this bill is a done deal. Are they trying to discourage us so we’ll stop trying, you think?
Sliderblaze commented:
Remided him of the 60′s? Except that everyone has video phones these days a**holes. However if any does hear any of that nonsense… Please call them out on it and get a pic of them so we can find out who they really are. See unlike the left huff post, we don’t need or want the nasty people just to have a warm body at our events. 1200 lefties to 30k tea partiers on two days notice. Don’t hate…god hates ugly lol
DINORight commented:
Looking at the crowd in this video, there must be more videos out there – and pictures, witnesses, etc. Look for more videos dis-proving this lie.
This tactic was used often during the 2008 campaign – worked then, why not use it again? The Left is nothing if not predictable in their facile tactics. But we are onto them – and, thanks to YouTube and bloggers, the truth is getting out to We the People!

Instapundit is tracking this story too
http://www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/
And several readers note a conundrum for the media — since they ignored the anti-ObamaCare protests, it’ll be awkward for them to suddenly start running stories about charges of racism at those nonexistent protests.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Short on hate: “The rally earlier today on the West Lawn in opposition to the health-care legislation before Congress had all the fingerprints of a somewhat organic celebration of democracy. There was a pretty focused message, but mostly displayed on handwritten signs. . . . As I walked around, if it weren’t for the congressmen and some right-wing organization types speaking, one might think people had gathered for an Independence Day celebration. There were smiles and babies and families and goodwill. Now and again I would run into some lone guy responding to a speaker with ‘then we’ll dismantle the government.’ But that guy also got weird looks — and not just from me. I was struck by how few mass-produced signs there were. Many groups might try to take credit for the rally, but concerned Americans are responsible for it.”
Non-surrender Monkey commented:

Can’t you count, you dummy? We invaded Iraq in 2003. What year is it now?
Also, since all the U.S. intelligence agencies, the British, French, the Germans, the Russians, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, and the Israelis told Bush that Saddam had stockpiles of WMD, where exactly does the “lie” come in?
Do you not know the definition of the verb “lie”? It means to be knowingly, deliberately deceitful. Now, if Bush was simply repeating what all those intelligence agencies told him, how was he lying? For him to have been lying, he would have had to tell us there were no WMD.
Haven’t you ever spent even two seconds thinking about this, or have you spent the last seven–not eight–years simply repeating talking points?

Joe College commented:
Apparently John Lewis is always a reliable tool for this sort of false charge.
From his Wikipedia:
In October 2008, Lewis generated significant controversy by issuing a statement criticising the campaign of John McCain and Sarah Palin and comparing their actions to those of certain segregationists … “Sen. McCain and Gov. [Sarah] Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division…”
Ginger commented:
Some one send the video to Fox and other medias and challenge them to air it. All day long as they do other subjects. I would do it but I do not know how.
Dixie commented:
If John Lewis could go back to the 60s and stay there he would be a happy man. He can’t stand the thought of white people not abusing him anymore. He needs that glory to keep him going. I rarely believe anything that man says.
Ginger commented:
The three stooges on Fox are bashing the Tea Party Ralley people right now about the black cacus people.
Dennis Thompson commented:
Isn’t it just amazing what a racial uniter Baraq Houssein has been in such a short while?! Millions of (unnecessarily) guilt-ridden transparent people (i.e., not “of color”) voted for him in a great act of atonement that would satisfy the “rage” felt by the most vocal of the favored identity groups. I mean, wow, it’s just like the racial Utopia everyone imagined it would be.
Now, on to the Utopia that CommieCare will bring us!!! Be sure to hid your future bribes for average medical care in your floorboards so that the NKVD-IRS can’t find it and reallocate it for “better” communal purposes.
Welcome to the USSA!

Thanks…I just sent the weekend three stooges at Fox and Friends a message of my discust that they did not bother to check out their story before they reported it. This group of three has a bunch of loose screws!
When I first got on Fox’s front page they had the story at the top. When I went back it was gone or I over looked it.
nickless commented:
Maybe it was that black lady protestor in the clip. I believe that black people are allowed by their culture to use that epithet, no?

Aitch748 commented:
Remember when some reporter claimed to hear somebody shout “KILL HIM!!!!!” at a McCain/Palin gathering in 2008, and the Secret Service reported that they investigated and could find no evidence whatsoever to support the reporter’s claim? That’s just what this sounded like from the moment I first saw this story.
The media are simply not reliable when it comes to reporting about the Tea Parties.

i caught the fox segment and their focus was on
whether or not it was one bad apple or a larger
part of the organization. guilty until proven
innocent. the same train of thought that’s coming from the obama agenda. the incident
with these reps only benefits the pro-healthcare
group and the idea that possibly they’d be willing to take one for the agenda shouldn’t be overlooked. they’re using race as a sledgehammer. their “get out of jail” card……
Ben commented:
Fox has been reporting it as if its true. ACK!
squeaky commented:
if there was more than ample proof that the whole incident was a fabrication of the pro-healthcare cabal it would be buried in a nano
second. it would always live on in the dem stockpile of talking points….. never let the
truth get in the way. you know – listening to
obama, reid and whatever – you’d actually think they knew what they’re talking about. they think there won’t be any blowback. in an uncivilized world we’d frog march them when
the warts start showing.
mikey commented:
There was no reason for them to walk through the crowd other than to agitate and get a response. The story was written before they took their stroll and probably posted before they got back to their offices.
What a crock.

*******************************
Nickless,
What you write is true, no sarcasm…when we went to Patricia Redington’s office (prosecutor in the Kenneth Gladney case in St. Louis), and asked “WHY IS HIS ASSAULT NOT CONSIDERED A HATE CRIME?”
She told us it was because a black person can call another black person a “racial epithet” and that was acceptable. True story.
We then asked her if it was a hate crime of union vs non union. No answer. You all know what this is all about.
You are spot on.
Bob commented:
Even if someone did they were probably union guys planted there to do that on purpose.
These congressmen need to be tarred and feathered.
reliapundit commented:
MORE PROOF IT WAS A LIE:
THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO BLACK “TEABAGGAERS” RIGHT THERE AT THE TIME – A MAN IN A PINK SHIRT AND A WOMAN WITH A CAMERA.
NEITHER SAID BOO.
IF ANYONE HAD SAID WHAT THE LEFT CLAIMS WAS SAID THEN THESE TWO WOULD HAVE REACTED.
MerNJ commented:
1. Lots of noise – they heard want they wanted to hear.
2. They’re asking us to prove a negative.
3. At the end of your video it is clear the guy in the back is holding up his cell phone. If he was recording the walk, then let’s see his evidence of it happening.
4. If it did happen, we would also need proof it was a Tea Partier. There are 2 other rallies this weekend by people on the other side. What if it was an infiltrater? If you check out the photos on Instapundit, there is one showing a sign “the war is a lie” in the middle of the crowd. Most Tea Partiers do not believe the war is a lie and even if they do, this rally is about health care – why would they have that sign??
Ginger commented:
It sure was a set up!
Always take a picture of any one who says something wrong in that way….just in case!
George commented:
First of all, I am a supporter of the Tea Party movement and EXTREMELY opposed the the bills before Congress. Having said that, the video does not disprove the PuffHo story. The PuffHo says that the incident occurred indoors (“Congress passing through Longworth House office building”), whereas the video is on the Capitol Steps.
Ginger commented:
216 TRAITORS so far!
TaSS commented:
Well they tried to provoke a negative response.
Unless you think this stroll amongst the tea partiers was just a Saturday afternoon walk in the park?
Having failed to do so, they went ahead with the story anyway.
Hard to prove or disprove.
I would say this bill has nothing to do with race however our politicans keep inserting race into the debate. The bill invests $2.55 billion in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions. At a time when ALL Americans need help with sending their kids to school and in a bill that is suppose to control health care costs, it just fails across the lines.
Kill the bill.
slp commented:
The congressmen were walking across the street trying to create an incident.
Now the story is that the N word was used 15 times.

One LIBERAL PLANT yells THE WORD THAT NO WHITE MAY UTTER!!!! Oooooh!
Ride a NYC bus or subway and you’ll hear the blacks throw the N-bomb every two seconds.
But, it’s okay to call concerned American citizens “teabaggers.” A much more horrid pejorative.
Screw these idiots.
Lie hard, RACIST RACKETEERS!

I thought no one was allowed inside the buildings on Saturday. That is what was said on Saturday so how could it happen inside the building? I don’t believe this happened unless someone can show me absolute proof.

Protesters outside the Capitol hurled epithets at Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Andre Carson (D-Ind.) as they left the building after President Obama delivered an 11th-hour speech on behalf of the health care bill.

Frank, who is gay, was leaving the Longworth House Office Building when a man yelled a charged homophobic slur at the Massachusetts lawmaker.
Other protesters quickly admonished the shouter, with one woman yelling back, “We don’t need that.”
Pat the First commented:
I don’t know if it happened or not. Honestly, I don’t care. What is worse . . . words or a law that will pay for and increase the killing of innocent children? I do not like racist language one bit. It is unnecessary and, frankly, juvenile and stupid.
But abortion KILLS people. Innocent children who have done nothing except that they were conceived.
This bill is another giveaway program that will result with even more children dying.
The Dems should be ashamed. Whether this bill passes or not, those Dems (and possibly a GOP or 2, who knows) who vote for this bill MUST be voted out in November. Every single one of them. We could possibly have half of the House all being freshmen Congressmen.
sarainitaly commented:
Even IF one or two did this, it isn’t hard to believe that out of 30,000 there were a couple of jerkoffs in the crowd. The Left has been smearing the Tea Partiers as racist from week ONE. All the name calling and attacks on FOX, Conservatives, Palin, Tea Partiers etc. apparently is a-ok with them, but out of 30K one loon allegedly yells something, and suddenly the entire Tea Party is racist… (Oh wait, they were already!)
This was a very mellow organization, with babies and small children, old people, disabled people, and even *gasp* minorities. Compare this to an anti-war protest or a WTO protest!
Did anyone have Lewis is a N*gg*r t-shirt on, because I remember seeing a lot of Sarah Palin is a c*nt t-shirts during the campaign.

It may very well be on their agenda, but after this fight, they are going to have a hard, hard time to get anything done from now until NOvember. If they take this vote and it passes, think about what it will be like when they go home for the Easter break.
You don’t think every single “yes” isn’t going to face a lot of angry people at home . . . you bet they will.
The Dems are rejoicing over this right now because they think people will be happy when their premiums go down (which we know won’t happen). If that happens, by that time the Dems will be out of power. Passing this bill will not give them any advantage in NOvember 2010.
George commented:
Thanks for the update, Sara. I’ll have to dig more. Some of my left-leaning “friends” are pointing to that to show unhinged the Tea Party is. Of course, a quick trip to ZombieTime is not on their agenda.

some people above have mentioned this — why did they decide to walk right through the crowd? they could have avoided it by walking through the tunnels that connect all of the house buildings. seems like they were looking for something to complain about…
myna commented:
You maybe right. This is like an ambush. They know the feeling is high. The media need another piece of lie for their propaganda storyboard.
truthteller commented:
nice try but you fail to make your case. this one selective snippet shows a small crowd of uncouth (yes, mostly) white people screaming at a group of (mostly black) congressman. impossible to pick up what the people recorded by the camera said. but the machine only would have recorded what was in the ambit of the person doing the recording. but as you very well know, there were lots of other people screaming and there’s no way to make out what they were saying.
Neoavatara commented:
Well, if the accusations are true, they are embarrassing and consequential.

What am I missing here? This video starts well after they left the building… how does it prove anything that was or wasn’t said earlier? It only lasts 48 seconds. To prove that the media was lying, wouldn’t we have to see the whole occurrence?
As for them walking across the street to “provoke an incident”… are you implying they haven’t got the right to walk across the street, and that they should cower in fear and slink through their tunnels instead? Shouldn’t you be applauding them for at least having the guts to face an angry public in broad daylight?
DMartyr commented:
OMG, the Huffington Post writers are such LIARS!
Sam Stein wrote about the incident:
“The Associated Press reports that Capitol Police arrested the man who spit on Cleaver, but the Congressman won’t press charges
But his link states: A congressman who was spat on by a protestor on Capitol Hill says he is declining to press charges, but turns out the Capitol Police say they made no arrests.
Incredible. Have they no shame at all?
DKN commented:
Hey Sean,
The topic is about the Left lying about the N word etc. Answer that issue.
Still, to address your charge, if you bothered to read the bill empowering Bush to go to war you’d know that it never, not once, says Saddam was in possession of WMDs. Instead it reiterates very non-controversial charges made by the Clinton admin, by the U.N., and by international investigators. All Bush did was implement a Clinton policy to overthrow Saddam, and enforce the U.N. cease fire Saddam signed years earlier (and then violated thousands of times). BTW, just why DO you wish the mass murdering Saddam had been left in power?
The only lies are the lies you lefties keep spouting.
Pat the First commented:
How nice would it be if the left would just tell the truth . . . just one time? And to think 52% of our citizens believed Obama’s and the rest of his crowd. People should have to pass some kind of test that shows they understand the issues before they vote.
And that goes for the lefties in Congress. My guess is most of them don’t even know what is in the bill.
Chisum commented:
About those racial slurs tossed at black Congressmen yesterday
I find it fascinating that in all the reports in the MSM on the story involving racial epithets being shouted at black Congressmen, very few mention that the only evidence for these racial slurs comes from the Congressmen themselves.
And they’d never lie about something like that, right?
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/03/about_those_racial_slurs_tosse.html
Mark D commented:
I would like to point out..that those Patriots were peacefully protesting without..a cadron of SHouldre to Shouldre Police officers holding them back. If tghere was that much hate as the Lying Black Caucus members claim.. someone would have took physical action.
Nonetheless..imagine the reverse.. when Moveon, codepink, huffington post non-bathing tofu eating America hating members protest.. the police are in riot gear and barricades (Physical and Human) are erected to protect people and property.
kansas commented:
As long as these lies work they will continue to use them. And they will always work. Call them a wambulance and let the government pay for it.
Sandy commented:
I’m wondering why these Congressmen walked through the middle of a demonstration. Unless they wanted Tea Partiers to be seen as Racists, ya think? Cause there comes a moment in every Obama push where its all about racism — cause God knows we have no other reason to oppose Obamacare? This is what a narcissist believes — its all about him.
Sandy commented:
kansas — This isn’t working anymore. Healthcare is personal. Its about our lives now. And no amount of guilt inducing propaganda will make me like something that states Seniors get too much Healthcare and we should die of our illnesses.

They were keeping their practice open for some of their patients, but with the paperwork that this bill will require and the increased potential of malpractice issues, they are just giving up their practice and hitting the links. It is too bad for their patients who depend on them and may not be able to find a doctor to serve them because more and more doctors are not taking Medicare patients.
Sounds like the WH is going to give in to Stupak’s demand that abortion will not be funded under this bill by Executive Order. Of course, we all know that will be amended in a year or two unless the GOP takes control of Congress.
I hope San Fran Nan enjoys the hell in which she will dwell for eternity.

If any laws were broken, let the appropriate law enforcement agency investigate and take whatever action is necessary.
Other than that? Ignore the entire thing.
The reaction(s) you’re seeing here is exactly what they want.
A hundred years from now, this won’t make any difference to anybody.
Save your breath.
Sandy commented:
Underlying propaganda Tea Partiers are racists and since most are Republican — the Republican Party is also racist. Therefore, if you are against Obamacare you’re a racist.

I saw this on heraldo (intentional misspelling) How horrible of him…how absolutely horrible.
This was a set up. The fact that Al Sharpton was on his show to put his stamp on it, is the proof.
I don’t condone racial slurs even coming from the blacks themselves….which is 99.9% of the time.
Atlanta media Guy commented:
This is what Tyranny looks like peacefully. Let’s hope it doesn’t evolve into something worse. The libs have made this bed and don’t care about their constituents. This is all about Obama getting a win and the libs having power forever. Do not relent! You must make your voice heard once these congress critters make it home for their Spring Break!
pm commented:
Tammy Bruce, a former member of the Left, admitted this is one of their tactics and said she’d engaged in it herself back in the day.
We encounter these liars on a regular basis pretending to be one of us in order to smear us on these threads. Of course they’re going to go out and do the same when a successful protest like this has the potential to damage their agenda.
These people operate on lies all day long. They know nothing else. It’s one of the reasons they’re so despised. And they know they’re hated.
So they’ve nothing to lose, but to hope that some small measure of sympathy drifts their way by feigning the victim and their opponent hopefully gets smeared in the process.
Well, good luck on that. It was the Clintons, by none other than Hillary-the-Alinsky-follower, who taught me what these people are up to.
Nothing good. And we see it every time they’re in trouble.
donh commented:
They are just practicing their talking points for tonights floor debate. No doubt proponents of this bill will make every effort to tie today’s “historical moment” to Civil Rights history and compare republicans to the guy that killed Malcom X. Truth is this bill establishes racial preferances and segragation in healthcare…. Separate and unequal healthcare , one standard of care for the government and a much lower standard for you.
daryl commented:
Me thinks the black caucus members engaged in a bit of old fashioned race baiting. When it didn’t work they resorted to what dimocrap party members always do. They LIED!
One little dribble of spittle directed toward those race-baiting, congressional black caucus a-holes from anyone there would have resulted in every capitol policeman there going postal in response.
I watched the video four or five times. Heard nothing, saw nothing except those smirking jerks doing their thang. If any one of them had been spat upon or called a n***er he would have reacted somehow, then and there, and there wasn’t a peep or flinch out of any one of them until they were inside discussing how they had bravely walked through the valley of the shadow and lived to tell it. Lieing pieces of ……, everyone of them.
Mark commented:
I was there yesterday. Just booing and chants of “kill the bill”.
Emma commented:
My gut reaction was, “liars.” But it sure changes the focus from kill the bill and socializing America to the reason they don’t want this is they are greedy prejudiced biggots. It then provides cover in the state run media for the potus and all who voted for the bill. Disgusting, they are liars, and they don’t care.
AlaskaHome1959 commented:
I think someone called me a ‘cracker’. But I’ll be gracious and not sue. Mind you, I’m not saying Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver called me that, but I won’t sue him. And I’m surprised the MSM isn’t claiming the crowd was chanting to kill Cleaver since they did use the word ‘kill’ in their chant.
Marsh commented:
Why are there even still ethno-centric congressional and lobby groups in the 21st century? They long passed their purpose decades ago. This is one of the main reasons I left the Left. I was raised to be as color blind as humanly possible and to view and treat people as individuals. I gradually realized that the left is totally opposed to that world view so I became a conservative and I’m glad I did. The right believes in creating polcies which benefit America and Americans first and foremost and they reward and punish people based on merit and actions rather than on their skin color or gender. When I received my 2010 census form I was shocked by how race obsessed it was. I filled out how many people live in my home and sent it back. That’s all the government should need to know about me and my family (who just happens to be multiracial by the way). The left are the ones who are keeping bigotry alive and well today. Not the right.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Just wait and see how the Kenyan/Indonesian despot reacts when the Supreme Court overturns their unconstitutional “legislation.” He’ll be on tv sounding like Jim Jones screaming at the Peoples Temple.
I think the Tea Party should file suit against the “criminals,” parading around as congress members. Slander sounds good to me.
Marsh commented:
@pm
Yes ineed.
I used to be a leftist and can confirm that the left masterfully uses and exploits identity based politics as a spear to aggressively ram through their agenda and as a shield to deflect all critcism of their Marxist agenda. Afterall, Marx himself advocated doing exactly that.
The left is a demographic movement. They seperate everyone into tribal-like “victim” groups and then promises to always protect them from the evil boogeymen such as whites, males, heterosexuals, Christians, conseravtives, etc.
That’s why you see so much venom spewed at female conservatives (and other “victims”) like Sarah Palin for example. They’re afraid women will realize that leftist feminists are basically trying to kick down doors that are already open and that the right’s opposition to killing unborn children has nothing to do with sexism.
Thankfully more and more people are starting to realize that due to the conservative voices getting heard more and more now that the left’s iron fisted grip on our popular culture is starting to weaken ~somewhat~ thanks to the creation of alternative media such as blogs. But we still have a LONG way to go.

How in the world is a single, loud, chaotic video proof of anything *not* happening? With that kind of logic, I can prove that God doesn’t exist (which, of course, I cannot).
John Smith commented:
Martha, one of these supposed witnesses describes a “chorus” of epithets. When there are multiple videos of the moment such an event is alleged to have occurred, and none of it supports the allegation, then it is not unreasonable to question the allegation, especially when the stakes are so high and the ideologies so in conflict.
John Smith commented:
LOL. David Schuster just mentioned the crowd shouted “racial epitaphs”. Those lefties are so smart.
John Smith commented:
Marsh, it doesn’t matter whether the words were actually said, the left knows even if they aren’t shouting the N-word, they’re thinking it. And for them, mindreading is good enough.

Lastly Clinton did say there were wmds due to ba intel but I didn’t see him invading Iraq to find them. Bush turned the truth around and made everyone think 911 was some part an Iraqi attack which we all know it wasn’t. For every lib lie I can give you 10 Bush lies.

Please! commented:
It doesn’t take a fifth grader to know that the video was racist. I just hate it when people want to deny the truth.
The next time any of the GOP want to mention how good a ” Christian” they are consider this : Psalm 107:20, Matthew8:13 ask what god did for those people when they were down? and far as Numbers 12 what did god to to people like some of those people that spat on John Lewis.God isn’t partial to anybody.People don’t have to agree with the bill, but it shouldn’t have to get to the point where race, and sex play a role in it.
Some people say that this Health care bill is no more than a government take over? Let’s see here…we have medicare/medicaid isn’t that related to the government also.( and some of those same people that are opposed to it probably get it themselves) Let me think of some other things that we never relate to the government that supposedly we don’t need from the government:1) Financial aid 2) Schools-Public Private and Colleges( whether folks want to/not believe some of the materials in some of our kids schools are provided by our GOVERNMENT!) 3) Some of our paychecks/retirement checks.Yep! they have a say in that too. Maybe we don’t need those refund checks either. It all come from the government. Honestly, nobody wants a government take over, but the truth is that no matter how much we think that we don’t need no government , they will always play a role in our affairs.Now of course we can go without it that is if you prefer to go totally broke? We don’t pay taxes for nothing. No money to government and nothing for us… period.It’s in the bible. That’s reality.
Let’s be honest: While I do believe that there are some people who sincerely do not want it because of a supposed government takeover, there are also many who are not man/woman enough to say we don’t want a black president so well just hide behind the issues to pretend that it isn’t such. Otherwise, John Lewis wouldn’t have been opposed without being spat on, that some other members of the the Black Caucus would not have been called the “n” word or that Barney Frank would have been hurled with anti-gay slurs.When Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy spoke out for his same bill, it was opposed , but it wasn’t met with no so called Tea Parties, no anti anything.
Rush Limbaugh once mentioned that he wanted Obama to fail. Initially, I was against this health-care bill because of the cost, but to wish the man to do bad changed my mind because there are some determined racists out there who would rather see him and others suffer than for him to pass the test, but that is ok. Many people prayed for this as many being opposed to it and as my church has taught me if it is meant to be, it will be.No member of any political party can stop it. On the other hand,wishing people to fail will only take away from your blessings. The Bible mentions about people who were commanded by God do a lot of things that we may find unpopular and similarly to Obama, some of those people were criticized for it, but at the end they came out to be the winners of his heart. Possibly, this may be the case with Obama. He’s gambling with his political career and the people may not like what he’s doing, but at the end it may be the best decision that he probably will have made in his life. I much would rather for him to lose his presidency and do the right thing than for him to play games with the lives of the uninsured sick poor people who really needs it the most
GrayRider commented:
Hey, #133…the wussie too wussie to even leave a fake name…what in the video exactly is racist? inquiring minds, not liberal mush minds want to know.
Shaw commented:
its hard to believe that a 25 sec video would encapsulate everything that was said during their walk to the capital….
Additionally, it’s even more incredible to think that 3 congressmen conspired to “slander” the protesters by lying about what happened in broad day light. Remember that Barney Frank stated he was called a pejorative when leaving the house building. If this was a conspiracy it had to be well-timed and planned ahead of time.
Derickma commented:
a 48 sec clip.? I can find a 1min clip of a KKK rally without the Nword but I bet it gets said off camera.
Tired commented:
“it’s even more incredible to think that 3 congressmen conspired to “slander” the protesters by lying about what happened”
Really? These people lie for a living. Many of them break their “solemn” oath (to protect and defend the constitution) on a regular basis. I have no difficulty believing that congresscritters would conspire with each other to gain advantage on such a momentous event.

Beware of cowboys dressed up as Indians. It is an old fraud used by desperate people. The lib dems.

They said it happened coming down the stairs out of the building. That video shows them going into the building. The video is useless.
The video below shows them coming out of the building, but it’s about 20 yards away from the foot of the stairs. So again… it’s not much good.

Interestingly, the video begins with the Congressmen midway through their walk. Where is the footage of the rest of the walk?
Conclusive debunking this is not. Sounds more like reactionary damage control by teabaggers ticked off that the left was correct about the tea parties’ racial hatred.
digi commented:
That really doesnt prove anything. That clip was only a minute and a half long
Realist commented:
America you have Affirmative Action which over promotes underachieving RACISTS you have 13% of your population which votes BLATANTLY RACIST and who are a PROTECTED MINORITY who can do no wrong and can never be criticized. You also have Politically Correct, Multi Culti, Left wing moonbats in power who HATE America or at least the America that you love and you are SURPRISED when the RACE CARD is so BLATANTLY and REPETITIVELY used against you.
I am surprised that you are surprised and are still so TOLERANT of these BLATANTLY RACIST white hating BLACKS.

C Vidmar commented:
The problem isnt the short clip with the absence of the alleged slurs, its the absence of a clip proving it happened.
Allegations need to be backed and in this instance are more than likely able to be backed, had they occurred.
No proof they did occur.
Limited proof they did not.
How is it conservatives are not due innocence before guilt?
The blanket defamation being carried out by the media is not even shocking at this point but expected.
They wonder why we are unwilling to give an inch at this point. This entire incident illustrates very clearly why.
Zach commented:
48 seconds of video made with a home video camera in a very loud and large setting…. I think calling that “proof” may be stretching it a little…
Duane commented:
I think that it’s pretty well shown here that something is wrong with all this “right” thinking. I have never heard such rationalization in my life. It really sounds like a bunch of 3rd graders mad at their teacher for canceling recess because they wouldn’t stop talking after class started. Just make up anything and then attempt to rationalize the claim. Grow up.
hollylamb commented:
Did anyone consider that these Black Caucus members are so use to calling each other the ‘N’ word that they hear it subconsciously thru their own heads and not from an outside source? When you think you are going to get a reaction for something you did, like passing an unpopular bill, do you just start suddenly imaging someone saying some of the worst things to you? I could see, they were expecting it and the protesters, not racists in their hearts let them down and they imagined they heard it. Until someone comes across with authentic video, I say it’s a big fat lie, by a racistist group. Why a Black Caucus and no White Caucus?
