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.
They were probably hearing: “Killin’ The Billin’”.
As in , don’t send us no bill for that Healthcare sh*t
Wow. just wow.
It’s kinda spookey....at 53 I could have written EXACTLY the same childhood story, right down to the red beans and rice, which I still eat, and the old word “nigra”, which I assumed was just the word “negro” with the standard two (long)syllables and a southern accent.... only your “Sally” was our “colored” nanny “Daisy Mae”, bless her heart, who I helped with “sprinkling” the laundry... I am an Alabama GRIT (girls raised in the south), couldn’t agree with you more and I would swear that you are a family member, ‘cept all mine are raging liberals ;)
“I did hear the word “nigra” used by some of the people that came over during the “negro” era, but never the actual “n-word”
Probably growing up in the same era as you...but I’m sure in different parts of the country. I heard the same. My grandparents would say “negro” to indicate a man and use the world “negra” to indicate they were talking about a woman. Never did I hear those terms used as a means of slander or disrespect.
Maybe they should go talk to Harry Reid and Senator Byrd.
circlecity: “I don’t hear the supposed offensive language. They are just saying “Kill the bill”.”
Anti-Bubba182: “I heard “Kill the Bill” and some Booing! That’s it!!”
o_zarkman44: “Shocking video??? I am shocked I never heard the N word when told evidence otherwise.”
Fascist, race-baiting Democrats suck.
This video needs to go VIRAL. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE—and the Black Congressional Caucus (THAT’S RACIST, isn’t it???) ain’t telling it!
Not even as sophisticated as plants. Several saw the video feed — zip. The protesters were brazenly slandered by three congress-critters. Busted.
If ABC doesn’t expose the slanderous scum, it will be that much more self-discrediting:
ABC: Anti-ObamaCare Protest ‘Turned Very Ugly’ with ‘Racial and Homophobic Slurs’

And populist “conservatives” who bash the “far right” are also slanderers who add to the confusion.
If they want to hear genuine racists, they need to visit Senator Byrd and Senator Harry Reid.
Didn’t someone leave her dead sister’s teeth to Lewease in their will ‘cause they loved her sooooo much?!??
What about Joe Biden? Seems like he thought Obama’s ‘clean-ness’, ‘articulate-ness’, and ‘fairy tale-ness’ were the *exception* among black people, IMO.
True, but it appears democrat loyalists lack the comprehension skills to get that.
Imagine the trouble we would have been in back in the 70s or 80s with a slander like this by three congress-critters.
I don’t hear the supposed offensive language. They are just saying “Kill the bill”.
That's all I heard, they were chanting that over and over and over again.
The false outrage would have lead to riots in the streets, ala Watts or Rodney King or Tawana Brawley, front burner stories on the MSM for YEARS to come over Republican/conservative racism! Feh. >:-\
They heard what they want to hear, the media reports their word as fact, and average Americans protesting their own government get called racist by government officials and their lapdogs in the media.
They’re yelling “THE SHERIFF IS NEAR!”
Just another lie from our old friend, John “Sharkbait” Lewis. I was there and saw/heard it all.
