Fox News Smears Tea Party: Pelosi, Lewis Walk Through Protesters "like civil rights march"

Posted on 03/21/2010 10:44:33 AM PDT by kristinn

Fox news Producer Chad Pergram was just on the phone with anchor Megyn Kelly excitedly telling the story of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi walking arm and arm with Rep. John Lewis though a throng of thousands of Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill who were chanting "kill the bill."

Pergram compared the scene to civil rights era marches with Pelosi and Lewis as the good guys and the Tea Party protesters as the bad guys.

Lewis and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus have made unsubstantiated charges that they were called n***** by protesters yesterday while walking between the Capitol and Congressional offices.

Pergram said Pelosi and Lewis were accompanied by several other Democrats and that she was carrying a large ceremonial gavel.

Today marks the 45th anniversary of a civil rights march in Selma, Alabama that Lewis participated in.

I saw Matt Kibbe of Freedom Works on MSNBC a few minutes ago. He made the expected denunciations but then went on to say that he was there yesterday and saw and heard nothing like what is alleged. He also said he’s not seen any proof of what is alleged.

Pergram should know to check. Lewis wasn't called a n-word or SOMEONE would have video of it.

What is with the BS characterization of "Like a civil rights march"? Sounds to me like Fox News gets some of its reporters from from the same pool of liberals that have dominated the business for years.

So ... because idiots on DU are more vile than you, the words that you type don't represent you or this forum? Come on, buy a clue. What YOU type on this forum is a representative of YOUR character, as well as the reputation of the forum as a whole.

Oh, grow up. We are going to have to do a lot worse than talk tough and what she said was nothing. Get a grip. If you want to kiss a** on democrats do so, but leave the rest of us out of it.

BTW, your user name says it all.

I don’t know what has gotten into Fox News in the last couple of days, but their reporting has been as bad as MSM in the their heyday. They did not attempt to verify the Racist shouts story. They took the accusations as fact.

There sure is a tunnel. We walked through it last September. This “N-word” incident was staged. Of course they had their say repeated on the faux news outlets. Those outlets could probably have given them the idea.
The progressives are doing everything they can to discredit us on top of their pompous ranting “we won” to go along with their unconstitutional bills.

We just got to be strong and continue to grow, in spite of them.

"I told some people yesterday that something doesn't smell right about Fox news the last few days, and I was told I was wrong."

I told someone last night that the Fox reporters were virtually describing a fait accompli in the final vote. It unnerved me, like a change in atmosphere all day long. Something had changed....it was like watching a Twilight Zone movies......and as the day went on I realized I was watching a sea change in tone, demeanor, reporting and analysis.

Scary stuff.....apres Fox, le deluge?

Why is anyone apologizing? The left is so ugly, nothing the Tea Party people would do could compare! For crying out loud... they do this and then expect us to smile and say “thank you”? Nope. Not here! Not ever! What they are doing is beyond the pale. They’ve stirred the pot ... if they can’t stand the heat... get out of the kitchen!

FOX has their second-string on duty on the weekends. Lots of them are like your typical Leftwingtards, they haven't yet been mugged.

But eventually that will happen, they will begin seeing the world correctly, and they'll let them on the weekday broadcasts.

Remember, the younger FOX people are recently out of college and they're used to kow-towing to their Communist professors.

Have you ever visited Democrat Underground? What I said is NOTHING compared to the vile filth that is spewed forth on that website.

Gotta agree with you there. This whole incident is being blown way out of proportion because it involves conservatives being accused of acting like liberals.

No, no, no! Not nearly subtle enough for a Sicilian. Don’t let the name fool you. In her heart she’s about as Sicilian as Barney frank.

There is a tunnel they could have walked through but they wanted the protestors to know they are not afraid because they know it’s nothing but chants. Sad but true.

I even think that if some patriot were to stand up and take a real stand most on here would say “No, we can’t use violence.” He or she would get minimal support. The Pelosi’s know this.

HER FATHER HAD A SICILIAN NAME.

Her husband's name is Pelosi, and they're just white trash in the Souvrn' Italian nobility.

He Married UP from their point of view.

Podesta forced this ol'sow to kiss his ring ~ remember that one? His people are upper nobility from the Boot.

I've got a few Kings of the Two Sicilies in line too ~ so I don't have to take this sort of garbage from Pelosi and her kind.

If you think that writing about blowing snot into someone's hair and farting is somehow expressing conservative values, go on with your bad self. You have every right to act that way and defend others that do likewise, and I have every right to distance myself from your juvenile antics.

Go forth and call names -- it says so much more about you than it does about others.

I think nothing of the sort, I do think you are completely over the top on your assessment of the situation. You sound like you are insane, far worse than the woman you are condemning. As I said, we will be forced into to doing a lot worse than talk trash if we are to take our country back. In case you haven’t heard, Stupak and the boys have caved and are going to vote yes. That means the frickin’ slave bill has passed and you are worried about some woman wanting to spit snot on Pelosi. I would like to do more than that to Nancy the communist and the rest of the marxist traitors that are in congress.
