ABC: Anti-ObamaCare Protest ‘Turned Very Ugly’ with ‘Racial and Homophobic Slurs’
Newsbusters ^ | 3/20/10 | Brent Baker

Posted on 03/21/2010 12:23:54 AM PDT by ICAB9USA

Though by their own count “thousands” of anti-ObamaCare protesters gathered outside the Capitol building on Saturday, ABC decided to smear the entire cause by stressing the despicable actions of a handful or even fewer as anchor David Muir announced in setting up the first story on Saturday’s World News:

“Protesters against the plan gathered on the streets of the capital where late today we learned words shouted turned very ugly, reports of racial and homophobic slurs, one protester actually spitting on a Congressman.”

Following the lead story on President Barack Obama’s pep talk to House Democrats, and before Jonathan Karl’s count on where the vote stands (he put it at 212 yes versus 214 no), Muir went to:

Late word from Washington tonight about just how ugly the crowds gathered outside the Longworth office building have become. We learned that as Congressman Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri was leaving his office someone in the crowd spit on him. There are also reports of racial and homophobic slurs, one targeting Congressman John Lewis, the famous civil rights champion, and the other involving Congressman Barney Frank. You can listen in for yourself.

They said they will use anything to pass CommieCare - of course, lies about Pro Americans is on their list.

What? That is all they’ve got?? Calling people homophobes and n words, a little spit? I was sure by now the story would have escalated to smearing Congressmen with human feces, skinning Democrats alive, and raping Pelosi! Come on, these are angry, stupid, illiterate MOBS we are talking about, mobs who don’t even know how great government healthcare will be for them!

Come on, ABC! You can do better than this! Alinsky would be sorely disappointed.

Agent provocateurs.

You got it. Rat union thugs planted themselves in the crowd.
It's easy to do, and even easier to get the Democrat newsrooms to "believe" it.

I thought F. Lee Baily had passed away.

My they ARE getting desperate in the final moments.

They have NO morals and NO scruples. We must kick their asses and deliver them the final knock out punch. What a bunch of lowlife sleezebags pulling the race card. I think it wont work. Ameica has just had too much it seems.

My local paper chose to promote anti-war rallies. I’m sure that if anything happened at all, it was those morons infiltrating our rally.

Wanna bet the Congressman isn’t pressing charges is because then we would learn the name of the so-called ‘racist teabagger’ = which means they can’t take a chance of the rest of us learning that he’s a member of SEIU or somesuch, a plant in the crowd designed to cause trouble! Meh.

Yep. Good old Saul Alinsky tactic.

What I am gleefully awaiting what they think they are going to do next. The stipid Democrats have been very shortsighted and have not looked past this vote. So they pass healthcare, what next? They think that they will get hugs and kisses? They think they will hide in DC? They have to go back to their districts to campaign and believe me, their constituents are waiting. Oh yes, they are anxiously awaiting awaiting these bastards to come home and publicly face them to ask for their vote. If they were afraid before, they have no idea what is coming.

They’re getting ready to do something very ugly to the US taxpayer, to impoverish him and condemn him and his children to a lifetime of impoverishment and PC social slavery.
