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.

Obama...”light-skinned with no ‘negro’ dialect unless he wants one” - Harry Reid
And the false labeling begins. Lap dog media whores of the zero administration following his every demand.
Probably called Bawney Fwank a knowledgeable and experienced “Teabagger”!
I know I’m late to this discussion, time zone difference but I can’t but think its too coincidental that there was also a “trial run” at the Walmart where a racial message was delivered over the PA system.
Just like terrorists? They saw it had an immediate effect and was successful at creating panic, this will happen again at any future event I am very sure of, we must be more prepared to see it ahead of time.
You’re not too late to e-mail fox and friends. They haven’t run their piece on this yet but they said they would.
Late word without video or photos is just words.
It’s evident from what I have seen that the liberals pull this “racist, homophobe” crap every time somebody disagrees with their liberal schemes. If some fool or fools said these things, so what? The effect of the lamentable legislation is much worse than anybody’s insult.
Agreed. Besides, these people ARE ON OUR PAYROLL. We have EVERY RIGHT to call them any and every name in the book. If they do not like it, they can resign.
Fixed that for you - big difference between Paul Ryan and Tim Ryan.
Thank you. I just discovered that.
They always do this. They did this in campaign 2008. Either it is made up, or they had “plants” out there from the left in order to smear Tea Partiers.
I am ashamed of FOX this morning because they have reported this with nothing to back it up.
Did they? I heard them say they would but must have missed it when they did. Great! Race baiting unfounded commie propaganda from Fox News. Scum bags.
THAT IS NOT PAUL RYAN, THAT IS TOM RYAN, A DEMOCRAT.
Tim Ryan actually. See posts #89 and #90.
“Who do you hang first, the Press or the Politicians?”
Both! The press is not doing it’s first amendment job. Therefore, they are complicit in this crime against the constitution!
Big difference. Just didn’t want Paul Ryan to be smeared.
I could tell by the cap lock problem.
Good, you know as well as I do that some won’t follow the link, they will just assume it was Paul Ryan.
These accusations are only intimidations to make people scared to stand up to them.
I guess we have to keep our eye on the ball and not let them distract us.
I appreciate the corrections. I don’t worry too much about people that won’t even follow the link. They’re not likely to remember much and if they repeat it here they’ll be corrected shortly. As we both know! ;^) lol
