WASHINGTON — Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "nigger" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis , a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.

Did you watch the video (at #4)? Nothing, nada and thank God there wasn’t a blind protestor with a seeing eye dog in the crowd.

Isn't this the same John Lewis that is related to Cynthia the deposed Rep. with the big mouth, braids and a tiny outer space brain?

Ask the race-bating author for video and audio evidence:

A BTT. Yes, I did. One of those creeps claimed he heard a “chorus” of racial slurs. In his own racist head, maybe.

I just watched that video and you are correct it was a set up.

There are many ways to get into the Capitol, and I am positive they never come in this way.

They walked in among their enemy on purpose, why would they do that?, except to try to instigate something or make claims of falsehoods. Liars plain and simple.

Why wasn't there any white Congressmen in this group, OH no, it was only to make it racial if they could.

I bet he was walking with Emanuel Cleaver, who accused someone of spitting on him but no evidence was produced.

However there is a very good video of the gang walking through the crowd, who were chanting kill the bill and booing.
No spittle, no N words.

I’m from Missouri. Show Me the evidence!!

As with all leftists they think if one person says it, everybody thinks it.

Somebody please tell these libtards if a person did yell such a thing, we would avoid them or take action to have them sent away from our group to a place with the rest of their Democrat buddies.

Never forget, “We Surround Them”. We outnumber the liars, especially the ones in congress.

“McClatchy, CNN, and AP so far. The usual liars. MSNBC at least had the caution to qualify it with “Dems report.””

Also at Yahoo, AOL and an article in the WaPo. They’re out to smear...

Yeah, Yahoo News, where's the evidence that this happened?

I call BS.

They're throwing up smoke screens.

I have three reactions to this.

-If anyone said it they are a moron. They should know better and know that it plays into the hands of the liberals. I would not be pleased by such a moron. It is also illogical to assume that out of all the millions of non-liberals out there protesting that there isn’t one idiot. There are plenty, and arguably more liberal idiots, so who cares.

-The Democrat press will make associations to all tea parties which I find insulting, degrading and even more moronic. How many times have racist things been said of Republicans, like the charge of “uncle tom” and much worse? How many times do we put up with being associated with racists to shut us up? Thus, why is the press interested in it? Well maybe;

-I would not be surprised if it is a Democrat plant who said it. This last option would change the discussion from the issue (the takeover of healthcare by the government) to the red herring of racism.

My conclusion is not to let this FARSE of an issue distract us from the point issue.

Exactly. And CNN was all over this—he was called the “N” word; Barney Frank was attacked for being gay....I didn’t believe it. I watched CNN for about ten minutes and this was all they had.... ridiculous.

I’ll be praying hard tonight.

This man puts the lie in liar. No proof just the accusation. Liberals have taught all blacks to use accusations better than anyone else. Just the accusation is needed an a few pictures of you crying about it and “magic”...you have free ill-gotten power, money or both!

It was just some of Ayatollah Obama’s astroturfing SEIU thugs planted to make a stink...IF the incident really happened, which I seriously doubt.

“How did the nationwide conservative tea party movement ever grow to millions of people and still growing despite the corrupt media? The answer is there is many more of us than there are of them.”

___________________________________________

You are so right. And yet, just minutes ago, CNN was portraying this as, “the country is split down the middle.”

Hah! In their wildest dreams.

btw... CNN is my only American t.v. news source up here. Ugh.

"Either that or the "perp" was a plant. They do that sort of thing."

No kidding they do the plant thing. I attended the Michele Bachmann rally at the MN State Capitol last weekend and there were a couple of plants. They would yell crude sexual things whenever pelosi's name was mentioned and were generally obnoxious.

I decided the best way to expose them was to take a close up picture of their faces and post them on the internet, where I did here:
