Joe the Wino’s Palin shirt is definitely meant to be derogatory. What a punk. It’s bad enough that he’s a drunk but being a stupid drunk is down there with whale feces.

Absoutley, the shirt gave him away right off the bat. And having a "booze cloud" hanging around your person before noon screams college lib, IMO.

a year ago he probably would have been left alone to make an ass of himself but last week was different. All of us around (especially the husband of the lady he called a c_*t) pretty much decided that he needed to go or be made an example of, lucky for him the Troopers came in first.

Honk if your sick of the faux claim of racism in America! The American people are better than that! Don’t believe a bit of what these idiots are telling you...Their claims are only to make we the people look bad...Wer are not that way and we are not like them.

Does the MSM think I give a rat’s ass anymore what these tyrants are called? They are acting against the will of the American people. I don’t care what happens to them.

“A Tea Party protestor turned me in into a newt!”

“A newt?!”

“...I got better.”

In this case, the Dems don't care what the public thinks. They instigated this so that the Whip can say to the undecideds: "Look what they did to Barney. You can't let them get away with it."

This is a diabolical, but smart strategy.

Oooo, you caught that. Good one.

You’ve got to kill someone before they use that term, unless you’re a Conservative. Then all you have to do is use your first amendment rights to express displeasure without hurling insults.

Facts- and evidence-- don't matter anymore- It’s all about the narrative:

DOES CLYBURN OWE TEA PARTY PROTESTERS AN APOLOGY? The bogus racism card has been played so often that I no longer find such charges very credible. I’m sure, however, that, true or not, they’ll be played much more loudly than the indisputably true statements about the antiwar movement.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Short on hate: “The rally earlier today on the West Lawn in opposition to the health-care legislation before Congress had all the fingerprints of a somewhat organic celebration of democracy. There was a pretty focused message, but mostly displayed on handwritten signs. . . . As I walked around, if it weren’t for the congressmen and some right-wing organization types speaking, one might think people had gathered for an Independence Day celebration. There were smiles and babies and families and goodwill. Now and again I would run into some lone guy responding to a speaker with ‘then we’ll dismantle the government.’ But that guy also got weird looks — and not just from me. I was struck by how few mass-produced signs there were. Many groups might try to take credit for the rally, but concerned Americans are responsible for it.” Lots of pics at the link. And, by way of contrast, here are some photos from that antiwar rally today in DC. Note the Soviet-nostalgia T-shirt. But guess which one the press will cast as “extremist?”

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

These guys were simply trolling for insults, which in & of itself, is an insult to the protesters.

D.C. has an extensive tunnel/tram system for the pol-cat class.

I’m just surprised the left didn’t have agents provocateur in place to make the slur & someone in place to get the video.

I think it may be a sign of desperation from the left.

The headline McClatchy’s uses is even more inflammatory. I cannot believe that this is reported as fact. I can but it’s still shocking.

THEIR words, not mine:

Tea party protesters scream ‘nigger’ at black congressman

Fox and Friends Sunday is reporting the “incident” happened. Heard them talking about it this morning as if it was true. They were saying how awful it was, etc., but showed no video to support their story. We need to flood their e-mails with the video I’ve already seen to prove them wrong.

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.


I agree. However a so called split down the middle is more than the socialist media has acknowledged in the past. It used to be opposition to the socialist agenda was done only by a fringe element.

John Lewis was a hero as a young man, but he sold himself to white leftists a long time ago.
