WASHINGTON (AP) -- A congressman who was spat on by a protestor on Capitol Hill is declining to press charges.

Missouri Democrat Emanuel Cleaver was making his way through a group of angry protestors when the incident occurred.

It was one of several ugly incidents in a day of protests against President Barack Obama's health care overhaul measure, which faces a House vote on Sunday.

The spitter was probably a liberal plant.

Instead of being paranoid about getting called “racist” etc, I think we’ve been wayyyy too polite over this whole Marxist takeover.

Spitting on these Commies seems like the least we can do.

No doubt that the SEIU thugs were out in force to provoke just such a story. The race card has never been far from the table with this psychopath regime, and we can expect it to be used many times in the future as the elections heat up.

"Cleaver, who is black, was also one of several lawmakers who faced racial epithets as they walked to the Capitol to vote."

Let's see--who was protesting in the Capitol today?? Counting down to the phrase "angry white teabaggers" in 3...2...1...

Is there any evidence, any witnesses?

The other “outrages” today were that a protester allegedly called John Lewis a N______ and another called Barney Frank a F___. But there were no witnesses to these events, just reports on CNN that they happened.

Any baseball fans remember how George Steinbrenner broke his hand allegedly trying to punch out Dodger fans who insulted the Yankees at a World Series? Could these “outrageous” events today simply be made up? Nobody was ever identified as the Dodger fan who Steinbrenner allegedly took a punch at. Many think George smashed his hand and made the whole thing up to fire up the Yankees.

Congressman was right to not press charges.

Individual doing the spitting was wrong and in some ways tarnishes the reason for this event.

It is this way for me cause I was the recipient of being spit on and a young Marine coming home in the late 60’s. Spat on by young college student while traveling in uniform and called some names.

Didn’t like it or appreciate it then ... still don’t. Regardless of who the ‘target’ is, it is wrong. I can disagree with them other ways.

Everybody's reporting the allegations.

No video or audio of the event though.

Tomorrow morning, before the DeathCare vote, I can’t wait for the CNN announcement that.....

0bama found a “noose” in his limo, Rahm found a dildo on his desk, and Pelosi found a nose in her purse.

“No video or audio of the event though.”

Is there anything at the event that was NOT videoed? There were cameras everywhere. Cleaver is fabricating this.
