More Democrats called John Lewis a ****** yesterday than anybody from the Tea Party.

John Lewis represents in Atlanta what has continued the race issues for the past 40 years. (don’t get me started on the “all black” colleges though, you’d get threatened for just walking in the vicinity back in the 80’s. I think it’s gotten better now though) They will never EVER let it go because it is their power to whip up fear in blacks.

When I was 16 years old, I had a job in downtown Atlanta. Now in Atlanta there are very few parking places by the sidewalk and every lane right up to the sidewalk is a ‘lane’ meant for traffic. There was someone challenging the current mayor and one of the thousands of local “Reverends” decided to park his car right in front of campaign headquarters. Unfortunately, since he didn’t have flashers or anything on, I thought he was driving in the lane when coming around the corner and then once I realized that the car was PARKED, couldn’t get over because of another vehicle. Therefore I slammed into the backend of his car.

The police came and gave him a ticket for impeading traffic and he was howling the whole time. Also started yelling how it was automatically my fault since I hit him in the rear.

So court day came and this “Reverend” was in court with his ticket (I got called as witness by the officer because he-Rev.- was pleading not guilty for the ticket) and eventually went into how it was a racist conspiracy since the cop was white and I was white and he was black.

Luckily the black judge, with a northern accent (LOL), rolled his eyes and said very firmly “YOU PARKED YOUR CAR IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC! Meant for MOVING VEHICLES! Skin color has nothing to do with making a dumb decision on YOUR PART!”

Being only 16, I was terrified of the whole ordeal, but I found my voice in it.

Sorry for going off on a story there, but it was my first experience with A) Being called a racist and B) Seeing those good “fighters” as they had been portrayed on my Atlanta news all my life for what they truly were.

With wall to wall cameras in and around the capitol building yesterday, isn’t it odd how not a single one recorded anyone saying these things? isn’t it odd that not a single microphone caught the words?

WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR THIS IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT...

Yesterday, a number of democrats made the following accusations against the tea party protesters at the Capital building

DEMS: PROTESTS GET UGLY, RACIST

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/03/20/2234644.aspx

Here’s what that said:

African-American Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who helped organize the March on Washington, went to the House floor today to tell Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) that a Tea Party protester called him a “n-——.”

Another Democratic source confirms to NBC News that openly gay Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) was called a “f—” by somebody in the Tea Party crowd.

Rep. Emanaul Cleaver (D-MO), another African-American member, was apparently spit on by a Tea Party protester.

THE BS FLAG HAS BEEN THROWN ON THIS FABRICATION...

COMPLETED REFUTED BY AN ACTUAL VIDEO OF THE MOMENT IN QUESTION...

(I guess they keep forgetting that today’s technology is not their friend when they want to make up falsehoods)

Here's the video, see for yourself....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SCs6pSE8_I&feature=player_embedded

The tea party is so strong, so right and so alive with the truth, that these progressive communists must do what every communist regime in history has done to suppress their opposition - lie, misrepresent and falsely accuse to discredit their obvious common sense opposition to this bankrupt ideology.

Checking in with CNN and MSNBC, etc., etc.,this morning to see the lies of the day, the anchors have been playing up this falsehood like nothing else happened yesterday.

Makes me sick...

Whenever I hear the civil rights struggle being discussed in the media I often wonder where the balance is. Any 35 year old listening today believes that colored water fountains and segregated schools were a part of daily life in all 48 States. Fact is those policies were confined mostly to the former slave states. My father was born in 1923 and never attended a segregated class in his life. I would like, just once, to hear a TV pundit explain those facts. A little context is good in every discussion.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., won't press charges after being spat on by ...protestor (I call BS)

Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia's John Lewis

ABC: Anti-ObamaCare Protest ‘Turned Very Ugly’ with ‘Racial and Homophobic Slurs’

All of these accusations have proven to be unfounded. No video or audio exists to support them and no charges were filed by Emanuel Cleaver.

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

Congressman Tim Ryan D-OH uses a homosexual slur against Tea Partiers on the floor of the House.

Here’s what this “giant” said about McCain-Palin: “George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2103507/posts

I’m surprised they didn’t accuse anyone of waving a noose in their face. Maybe that phony claim is next on their agenda. The Dems never play fair. If they can’t win legally, they’ll lie, cheat and steal to get what they want.

I've said this a zillion times, but I simply do not understand the Black church.

I don't mean that I don't understand why they're for welfare or for affirmative action. That I can understand. I don't mean that I don't understand why they don't vote for conservative white Republicans. That I can understand. What drives me up the flippin' wall is why the Black church is utterly incapable of producing a single, solitary politician who isn't a raving looney on homosexuality, on abortion, on euthanasia, on evolution, on Israel . . . on every subject under the sun.

Muammar Qaddafi is a Communist dictator, but he's a fundamentalist moslem as well. No abortion or "gay rights" in Libya, and our liberals (who act as if the dark ages ended on 1/22/1973) have never uttered one word of criticism of him for it. Shoot, so far as I know Hugo Chavez, though a Communist dictator, is a fundamentalist chr*stian who doesn't allow abortions or "gay rights" in Venezuela. Yet in America one cannot be economically left wing without being socially and morally left wing as well. Has no one in this day and time ever heard of William Jennings Bryan? Of Huey P. Long?

One of these days I simply must get up the courage to ask some local Black chr*stian acquaintance just what is the flippin' matter with them on these issues.

A few years ago Lewis spoke at the Duke University graduation. He was the obligatory token black that elite Southern schools have to trot out now. Everyone gave him a standing ovation when he was introduced (except me). When he finally finished there was tepid applause. I think nobody could understand a thing he said...

He exemplifies a belief among some some in the civil rights movement that “justice” won’t be achieved until we have reverse Jim Crow of even reverse slavery.
