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.

Gladney gets attacked by SEIU thugs in reality and the press wrings its hands over this phony stuff...disgusting
Exactly. Straight out of the “Rules for Radicals”.
I don’t believe this for a minute.
And if someone DID start yelling that kind of crap, he would have quickly and firmly been told to shut his face.
This is undeniably true. The racial and homophobic slurs are highly questionable but the reports of racial and homophobic slurs undeniably occurred. The reports may be made up out of whole cloth, but they occurred.
The Media allows this to happen. They enable the Leftists and give Pravda a run for their money.
Most people don't pay attention and the Rats know it. Ignorance enables these Traitors amongst us.
It isn't the News, it who reports the News.
I think you have a good point. The serf in Russia had perhaps a quarter of his labor and its products expropriated by his overlords. Tomorrow we discover which we are; citizens or slaves.
Likely, SEIU thugs infiltrating our protests.
Think its ugly, keep it up and you really will see ugly.
this is the first step in cancelling elections
the next step is violence, probably theirs, but possibly one of our timothy mcveighs
it doesn’t matter who’s responsible, the government, and the press, will blame the protesters
then, martial law, forever
The “Protest ‘Turned Very Ugly’?”
Code Pink showed up?
All a part of the plan. Who cares what he does or rapes to the Constitution? America is racist! We knew that long before the election and the regard of his dismantling of the Constitution is RACIST! (Now where is my money)?
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?”

If it bleeds (or in this case drips with spittle) it leads.
If this monstrosity is passed, it won’t be long before people who remember the spitting will wish it had been even more.
Exactly!!
The MSM is reporting this as fact despite the FACT that there isn’t a single independent witness to collaborate the story and that numerous recordings failed to pick up the alleged 15 instances of slurs being used.
IMO, this is an orchestrated attempt by the Dems to marginalize the Tea Party and an act of desperation.
Sadly, the complicit media will report it as fact, just like they did when they claimed someone yelled “Kill him” regarding Obama at a Palin rally despite the fact the Secret Service said it never happened.
Or like when the AP claimed Bush supporters booed Clinton in 2004 when Bush informed the crowd that Clinton had been rushed to the hospital with a heart problem.
Audio recordings proved that the AP lied and that there wasn’t anyone booing.
The MSM are a bunch of snakes and are arguably worse than the Dems.
We know the Dems are partisan, but the media is supposed to be non-partisan yet they are anything but that.
I hope all of these left-leaning media outlets go bankrupt.
Good post...I read it all
What’s laughable is 0bama (the foreigner) has no black roots in America, has no slave blood thus is not a real Afro_American. The real blacks in Chicago were very wary of him because of this. This Hawaiian clown who decided to parachute into their town and use it as his racial petri dish. 0bama’s smartest move was to marry Michelle who is a real Afro_American. This gave him some street cred especially when she hung out with Farrakhan’s wife and dutifully attended that loony Rev Wright’s church and had her daughters baptized there
0bama is the rare example of a black guy marrying someone darker than him. What usually goes on is what JayZeee does with Beyonce who goes so far as to color her hair blond. Or biracial A-Rod who goes out with white gals some of them over the hill
And the media always makes it a point to mention the number of blacks at Tea Party events, or lack thereof, as if blacks are banned from attending.
Yet stupid people buy into their lies.
“The Tea Party is racist because many blacks don’t attend, even though they are welcome.”
Some logic.
Yet when 99% of black voters vote for Obama, race isn’t factor, right?
How did this country get so stupid?
The MSM and the school system have indoctrinated a great many people.
Stupid, ignorant, intellectually lazy people.
Sadly, they also vote.
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
Agent provocateurs.
Yep, more of the standard BS we’ve come to expect.
I don’t remember ever reading a word about the obscene personal invective at the scores of anti-Bush rallys.
