The Tea Party protests got ugly today.
African-American Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who helped organize the March on Washington, went to the House floor today to tell Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) that a Tea Party protester called him a "n-----."
Another Democratic source confirms to NBC News that openly gay Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) was called a "f--" by somebody in the Tea Party crowd.
Rep. Emanaul Cleaver (D-MO), another African-American member, was apparently spit on by a Tea Party protester.
Clyburn, who helped lead sit-ins in South Carolina in the '60s had this to say regarding the Tea Partiers:
"It was absolutely shocking to me, last Monday, I stayed home to meet on the campus Pomford University where 50 years ago, as of last Monday, March 15th I led the first demonstrations in South Carolina, the sit-ins...quite frankly I heard some things today that I haven't heard since that day. I heard people saying things today I've not heard since March 15th, 1960 when I was marching to try and get off the back of the bus. This is incredible, shocking to me.
He added, "It doesn't make me nervous, I am the hardest person in the world to intimidate. ... Well a lot of us have said for a long time that none of this is about healthcare at all. ... It's about extending a basic fundamental right to people who are less powerful."

OH.....PUH-LEEEEZ!

Gee, I hope ‘violent’ isn’t going to be added to the Democrats’ list, for their sake.

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:

With HC hanging in the balance they are really ratcheting up the propaganda campaign.
LOL reminds me of the BS that the media spewed about the Palin rallies, how people were supposedly saying “Kill him” turned out to be utter BS..Dems are SO damn desperate
BS
I bet Blacks really like be put in the same category as perverts. The blacks I know very much resent being compared or even discussed in the same vein as sexual deviants.
If the dems can use the r-word, the n-pord is on the table.
I bet the guy was wearing a purple SEIU shirt (if it happened at all). Remember when they were fighting with people at the town halls and blaming it on Tea Party folks. It’s in the Alinski handbook.
Bwahahah....he’s going to “serve” forever because tea partiers want him to quit. Like they EVER GO AWAY! Like they EVER QUIT! THEY DIE IN OFFICE!
MARXIST LIARS, every last one of them.
Ahh, those that oppose the bill are racists and homophobes now.
Predictable. The media and Dems know they are on shaky ground. As far as I am aware, there are exactly ZERO polls (major or minor) that show the American people support this Health Care Reform. Oddly enough, the media have not mentioned this fact (sarcasm tag goes here).
So they pull out the race card right on queue.
