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.

And three congress critters are exposed as slandering race-baiters.

[pillut48]

Counting down til MSM starts running with phony stories of racial slurs being slung at the President during this motorcade in 3...2...1...

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Yep. Senator Byrd, “I will use that word.” Reid, “Negro, colored ...”

Everyone who halfway tries knows that the rats are hypocrites.

Play the sound track backwards and you will hear it.

Even if this is true, which is debatable, we have freedom of speech in this country and if people want to say things then it’s their constitutionally protected right (unlike healthcare, which is not a “right”).

I ran out of “White Guilt” a long time ago.

[personalaccts]

I thought I heard the word CROOK..As for Barney Frank he’s fair game he’s the “banking queen”. Rush plays that every now and then.

[personalaccts]

thanks for the video. I put it up on my facebook, twitter, and anywhere else. I’m sure the google folks will edit it and throw some words in.

“It’s going to take a much better accounting of events than this video “

Doesn't anyone have decent recording software? I took my studio apart and sold my stuff. But there are a lot of things that can be discerned by scrubbing and filtering audio.

[popdonnelly]

I think the Congressmen are being “disingenuous”.

[TigersEye]

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., won't press charges after being spat on by ...protestor (I call BS)

Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia's John Lewis

ABC: Anti-ObamaCare Protest ‘Turned Very Ugly’ with ‘Racial and Homophobic Slurs’

All of these accusations have proven to be unfounded. No video or audio exists to support them and no charges were filed by Emanuel Cleaver.

Fox News is about to report these lies. I just e-mailed them and challenged them to provide evidence. If anyone is up e-mail them at Friends@foxnews.com

Since you were standing right there, perhaps you could tell me something. Were there other Congress critters that went through the Tea Party protesters, or were these members of the CBC the ONLY ones who chose that particular route?

[saneright]

I found the part where several tea partiers are calling Lewis a ni**er.

What you have to do in order to hear it is play the tape backwards at half speed.

In addition to the ni**er chants you will hear that indeed Judas Priest was really guilty of encouraging misguided youths with severe drug problems to kill themselves.

When all you’ve got is a racist hammer, everything becomes an N-word nail.

[snippy_about_it]

If I weren’t used to democrats and their media minions being liars I’d be shocked. Then didn’t “fight” their way through the crowd and no one called them the “N” word.

Face it, any opposition to this bunch are racists, it is the worst word they can find for us and yet it is they that are racists...and commies, and fascists and traitors to our nation.

[Gay State Conservative]

I heard it..I heard it.A guy in the crowd who looked surprisingly like Bobby Byrd (D-KKK) was chanting “white n****rs,white n****rs”...just like he did on Fox News Sunday a few years back.

[Typelouder]

I noticed that a couple of the people in the entourage were walking with their phones held out front steady as if they were filming. If the slurs happened, show us the proof!

I too think it was a set up. I highly doubt any of the other democrats took that route to their offices, but rather used their underground trains. I would not put it past the dems to have had supporters in the crowd specifically to yell these slurs and to spit.

[TigersEye]

They were intentionally baiting the crowd. There is a tunnel or something they can enter the Capital by. Unless Pelosi and Reid don’t allow blacks to use it.

[newnhdad]

right, I was thinking the same thing. They did this to elicit a response. I’m just glad they had video.
How long will it take before we hear about lynchings in the south, that actually never happened, again?
