Fox News ^ | 3/20/2010 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 03/20/2010 3:30:54 PM PDT by carolinacrazy

Reps. John Lewis (D-GA) and Andre Carson (D-IN), both members of the Congressional Black Caucus, say that a group of protesters hollered at them and called them the N-word.

"They were just shouting. Harassing," Lewis said. "People being downright mean."

Alinsky, (don't know what page in his book but ask the epithet-hurler) wrote that he told his peeps to show up to a Nixon rally or other conservative's rally showing support, dressed as Klansman (I guess Sen. Byrd had the day off and they were subbing for him.)

IOW, this is pretty standard agitprop from Alinsky, straight out of his accursed book.

"Alinsky, you magnificent bastard! I read your book!!"

I see their unsupported assertions and raise them an insult--Liars!

That’s what happens when you are stealing people’s earnings and their children’s private health care.

These guys are lucky that words are all the protesters hurled.

So we’re supposed to believe Lewis and Carson? I don’t believe anything a DemocRAT says. I don’t care what color their epidermis is, I do not trust DemocRATS. Lying is what they do and how they live.

Where’s the video/audio indeed? I do not believe this. And my black friend is definitely a Tea Partier. She hates Obama, she feels used and betrayed. Could she be the only one?

Aww, ain’t that a shame? BTW, the Walmart incident occurred in NJ-Walmart is non-union, NJ is heavily union oriented, and I suggest that the incident was pertrated by a union agitator, either Walmart employee or not.

Video shows black tea party member was part of crowd (Pink shirt at very start of vid) that was shouting at CBC member. No racial insults can be heard:

I remember a black congresscritter in Georgia who, at a town hall meeting, was verbally abusive to the constituents.

His rudeness made the news (Fox,only) and the day after, he “claimed” the sign outside his office had been vandalized.(of course THIS story made the local news.)
I’m sure he hoped it would take the attention off his behavior.

They never “found” the vandals....(failed to look for them in his own party, no doubt!)

AIN’T JUST GRANNY & GRAMPS GETTING WHACK, MILITARY IS TOO.

KEEP THE CALLS UP! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE

Hold your own street protest in front of your reps local offices. Or busy street corners. Try and get the local media to cover it. Hammer the Medicare/SS issue, nothing like mad grannies and gramps.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

Mail must be inspected for anthrax takes 2 weeks, so if you snail mail send a post card

Contact congressional aides.

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Sunday March 21st.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.

Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.
Call them and fax them them instead of telling us you don’t trust them.

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

Andre Carson is one of only two Muslims in Congress and was born nine years after "Bloody Sunday." Carson conceded he wasn't used to hearing such epithets.

They must NOT have the votes in order for the mediaWHORES to come up with this late in the game! You’d think they would have done it early in the day. I guess they think by accusing the crowd of Epithets those sitting on the fence will be enraged enough to vote for this STINKY bill!! IDIOTS...I don’t believe one report coming from CNN or the AP...no way!!

It should be noted that a lot of the people who scream “racism” actually have no problem with racism so long as it is directed towards a group other than their own. They don’t mind if their group votes 97 per cent for the black candidate, the are greedy to have a provision in the health bill which gives large amounts of money to BLACK colleges, they don’t mind black networks, the black caucus, black Miss America, etc. etc. So we always need to be clear with them that they don’t have a problem with one race exalting itself, being exclusive unto itself, preferring itself and its own cultural quirks....so long as it is themselves as the designated “preferred” or given to group.
