Video Surfaces of John Lewis "N*****" Incident at Tea Party Protest on Capitol Hill
Saturday, March 20, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 03/20/2010 7:55:48 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

Monty Python is funny. This accusation is just a joke.

I don’t hear the supposed offensive language. They are just saying “Kill the bill”.

That's the most "vile" thing we Tea Partiers chanted today on Capitol Hill: "Kill The Bill!". There was NO "N" word uttered anywhere that I heard today.

The democRATs are trying to slander us as usual. As I posted on other thread...

We're back at our hotel room watching C-SPAN... Diane Watson (D-CA Los Angeles) just spoke - live - on the house floor about how the protestors today (Tea Partiers) used the "N" word, spat on her fellow members, "ranted and raved" and basically did other "despicable things". THIS IS BS... IT'S A LIE!

John Garamendi (D-CA, Walnut Creek, Antioch, etc.) apologized to all his fellow House members for the supposed "ill treatment" they received by the protestors today.

Watson and Garamendi discussed how they didn't think "hate like this would rear its ugly head again" toward them. After all, they're just angels "trying to make good healthcare available for all Americans".

It seems as if the democRATs are using the race card YET AGAIN to portray Tea Partiers as racists and lunatic fringe. THIS IS A LIE! We were there... THIS DID NOT HAPPEN! Same 'ol lies the democRATs always fall back on when they're under pressure! So we're being slandered AGAIN, as usual by the 'RATs.

You can understand why Lewis was so upset. Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale.

I seem to have missed the name calling on the video. If I watch it again, will I hear it?

Play it backwards...

” heard the word a few times too, but everyone saying it was black and they didn’t look like they were with us.”

So it was staged?

Play the audio backwards while high on organic substances, clap you heels twice, and stick a finger in one ear to hear the alleged racist statement.

You have to understand liberals...every time a conservative speaks, regardless of what’s actually being said, their brains process the speech as “n****r, f****t, I-hate-the-poor,liberals are anti-american traitors”. So it doesn’t actually matter that they said “kill the bill”, they could have been chanting the 23 Psalm and it would have sounded the same to them.

Ugh. My corrupt representative, David Scott was in that group. Maybe that is why he wasn’t answering his phone today. I would have left a message, but his voice mailbox was full.

Get that finger out of your ear! You don’t know where that finger’s been.
