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.
BINGO!!! I just knew somebody would figure it out.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the video .. I mean .. there was another way into the capitol so why would they take the path right through the middle of the crowd - WAS IT ON PURPOSE!!!!@
What a bunch of RACE BAITERS!!!!
I’m so proud of the Tea Partiers - they did not TAKE THE BAIT!!
Yours posted about 1 minute before mine. :)
This is exactly the sort of slimey dishonest thing the left would do. They don't care how low they stoop.
The fact that the Frank story and this one were reported together is a red flag, and coupled with a wildly exaggerated account by Lewis, it smacks of set-up.
They are saying kill the bill. These people are liars. They just keep lying and it’s getting really boring.
Staged courtesy of the black caucus. Disappointed the planted stooges failed to make the scene as planned, the black caucus proceeded with the charade as orginally planned.
I’m soooo sorry to admit that Carson is my Representative. Just sent an email telling him that I believe he is a liar and that I hope to see his defeat in November even as he plans to vote our country into bankruptcy and socialism on Sunday March 21, 2010.
Lol! You might be right. I didn't even watch the video yet. But I don't doubt for a minute that there were plants there doing and/or saying stupid stuff to make the protesters look bad and undermine the movement.
Yawn. Someone cried ‘wolf?’
“maybe, something similar to n****r could be heard in the background. Maybe...”
...they were saying “this crowd’s getting boisterous”.. followed by “Don’t worry, the sheriff’s near”
MSM Translation:
SOMEONE SAID “BOY”! SOMEONE SAID “N*****!
/sarcasm
My particular fantasy is that several of the Democrat Congresscritters intentionally lied to Pelousy and Obozo, promising that they would vote for the legislation just to get them off their backs.
And then they vote “Nay” this afternoon!
If this monstrosity passes, 2010 may be one of the more interesting years in American History!
It proves that Deemocrat plants will sacrifice race relations in America to help pass a bill giving them more power.
It disproves that Deemocrats tell the truth.
Someone in the crowd said “I miss Ronald REGGIN” and they played the Video Backwards.
No, that was Slim Whitman singing Uno Paloma Schawartzke.
:”)
Members of the Black Caucus lying isn’t news. Members of the Black Caucus not on the take or involved in crooked dealings, now THAT would be news!
Does anyone else take offense to a BLACK Caucus crying racism???
How much longer are we going to allow segregation in our nation’s capitol???
They were saying “kill the bill” but they were DEEMED to say n*****r.
