A video has surfaced this evening of the incident today involving civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Lewis has alleged that he was called a n***** by the protesters.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), who was walking with Rep. Lewis, says he heard the word n***** fifteen times.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) claims "It was a chorus" of people yelling "n*****."
The video, filmed by Marooned in Marin and posted at YouTube, shows Reps. Lewis and Carson walking together, with Rep. Cleaver several yards behind as they fight their way through the Tea Party patriots like they were in 1965 Selma, Alabama.
Reps. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are also walking behind Lewis in the video.
View the shocking video here.
Thanks!
Even if someone said it. So what?
Good work!
I thought about that after seeing them go through, knowing that there’s a tunnel from the Capitol building to the offices (I’ve been down there before). Also, most of the Congressmen who came out were on our side (Gohmert, Pence, Blackburn are some who I met yesterday). Looking back, I think they made a concious effort to go out though the crowd, so they could then run to their allies in the lapdog media and do what they always to—play the race card.
Kinda like “Stairway to Heaven?”
I did see one person after this with a purple SEIU shirt on the other side of the street.
Some guy on Fox last night claimed the “tea baggers” were shouting “Kill Obama Bill” and said he hoped they were just talking about killing this bill and not Obama.
If anyone actually yelled the n-word it was a plant.
You have to listen to the video backwards to hear the “n” word...lmao!
The same John Lewis back in 1963:
”We will march through the South, through the heart of Dixie, the way Sherman did. We shall pursue our own ‘scorched earth’ policy”
If there is any racist here, it's John Lewis.
The MSM needs no substantiation or verification. They just go with anything that fits their agenda. All this may not have much impact since no one watches CNN or MSNBC.
I’m really surprised one of them didn’t “trip and fall” to the pavement, so they could claim they were pushed by angry racists protestors. The MSM would dutifully run the story with absolutely no verification.
Thank you.
It’s all about destroying the BLACK President, don’t ya know.
As usual the shrill racist voices from the leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus play the racist card. It has no effect on the failed Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Folks, the race card from either side Black or White is pase. In fact, the CBC or Hispanic Caucus is passe, as is the White Supremists, etc. Fact is, Black Americans are going to be set back fifty years by the actions of POTUS Obama. They just don’t see it yet, they will, as they fall further down the economic totem pole as private sector tax revenues decrease and the country heads into bankrupt status. So.....John Lewis and company can scream all they want. They are on the losing side and the poor souls do not have a clue!!!! Black folk, wake up, Barack Hussein Obama in not your friend, he is not your ally, he is not your savior. Barack Hussein Obama cares about only one thing, himself!!! To even think otherwise make you a cpmplete fool!!!
At least this will get the protest video on TV so American can see how unpoopular this bill is.
“You can hear it if you play it backwards.”
I tried it...what I’m hearing is “The Bill is dead”
I wonder if the ones who yelled the n word at them were infiltrators planted to make the decent people of the Tea Party look bad.
I heard "Paul is dead, Paul is dead"
I knew it was a lie from the get-go. The left will stop at nothing in their attempts to smear real patriots.
There was a good dose of BS on CNN earlier. Brianna Somebody was bemoaning the racial and gay epithets hurled by tea partiers yesterday at the capitol, all alleged, no proof even though full video and audio is available.
They do this over and over, and we never fight back. They make up an allegation, no proof or else it’s phony, manufactured proof, then they repeat it over and over as though it was a done deal. Nobody ever calls them on it. This is one of many reasons why we keep losing. We need to get in the press’s face. And no, I don’t want to hear how if we confront them they’ll just be worse/harder on us. It’s time to get in their face and force the truth onto the public, whether the press likes it or not.
