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.

RE: “Pelosi was carrying a giant gavel. She plans to use it as a prop for cameras during today’s proceedings. I hope she will be using that prop next January when her gavel is forcibly removed from her claws by the People.”

***************

I hope Pelosi and company all ‘stroke out’ from the stress of it all and there are NO doctors coming to their aid. Is that mean?

Yea I heard that to and went to Fox's website to email Megan about whether they had confirmed this to be true. I watched the said video of the supposed racial slurs and can only hear “Kill the Bill”. I want to ask her why they are not saying alleged racial slurs like they do everything else. I can not find her email. Someone have it!

According to Fox "News"...

Kristie Greco, spokeswoman for Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said a protester spit on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., who is black. Cleaver's office said the protestor was arrested but said the congressman won't press charges.

Just a question but is there any indication that some arrest was made? I watched the video of Andre Carson, John Lewis and several others that "just happened" to be leisurely strolling directly through a crowd of chanting protesters (imagine that) and saw no spitting, did not hear them being called any names and absolutely no sudden reactions on their part which would indicate being attacked, either verbally or physically, in any way. I did not see anybody get arrested, nor did I see any of the protestors even so much as approach any of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (communists) in any threatening manor.

What is even more fascinating is the astounding insight of the CBC (communist) members in determining that it was in fact Tea Party members that were the “attackers.” I suppose I must have missed the T-shirts emblazoned with the declarative “TEA PARTY MEMBER,” being worn by the attackers that did not appear in the video of the entire episode.

Perhaps the guy on the right (members of the Congressional Black Caucus (communists)) at 14 to 16 seconds and 22 to 24 seconds that is holding his phone at about waste height, out and away from himself and quite likely recording, could share with all of us the video of the attack? Or perhaps the gentleman at 29 seconds recording video with sound from TWO phones at the same time could be so kind as to share the recording of the vicious and malicious “Tea Party Member” attack? Perhaps the THIRD gentleman at 43 seconds that is also recording video with sound onto his phone could share the images of the dastardly “Tea Party Member” deeds?

Just as another point of clarification, the Capitol Policeman in the video at 45 to 47 seconds must obviously be a racist himself as not only is he white, his sidearm is holstered and not drawn and he is not firing at the “Tea Party Member” attackers!

What I DID see reminded me of a few guys in a fishing boat with lines in the water and the trolling motor running...

PS, today Nutjob Nancy is apparently jumping onto this little hayride. One can only deduce that given her position as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the united States of America somebody must have told her the incident is a total fabrication. But there she is. Again, we see Nutjob Nancy and reality are not close friends...

They've been reporting this phony story all day as news, without any proof. What's remarkable to me is that demonstrations are held ALL THE TIME and NONE OF THEM are held to the standard of being responsible for the actions of every member of their group, not to mention that it didn't happen.

I think Fox needs to be held accountable; people need to not TURN THEM OFF but, rather, tune them IN, when it comes to complaining and taking action.

Hey, I grew up next door to one of these guys. Knew a good number of them at work ~

Here's a question/answer for you. What happens to a mobster's kid who "rebels"? Yes, they have the same problems everybody else does. What I've seen is they get them a job in one of the family's "legitimate businesses" ~ where they can see them on a daily basis.

Next thing you know the kid'll be turning in their cousins otherwise.

That crowd?

Nancy wasn't part of it. She's definitely one of the bad ones taking after the old man, visting the uncles in prison.

She didn't have to walk through the crowd, appears like she wanted to take some kind of 'victory lap'.

I saw that and I don’t think the protesters yesterday spit on anyone,,maybe on the ground they walk on but not on anyone nor any words like N.....

What is the big deal about a protester spitting on a rep? They have been spitting on us, the electorate from the beginning!

If FOX keeps this up we will all get out news from Rush and Beck.

After we did a stealth freep in front of Fox when they were being attacked back in the day. If this is true, then I’m sorry we defended them.

Carl Cameron just stood up for the vast majority of the protesters, just a very small number going over the line.

Some of you better lie down for a while and get over it.

Let’s recall that just a couple days ago Fox News anchor Bret Baier held the first honest, hard interview ever given to Obama. Now, maybe every single person in the network doesn’t hold your exact views, but it would be silly to condemn the whole thing.

I’m surprised she didn’t walk naked so she could get even more attention and booos!

Cleaver's office said the protestor was arrested but said the congressman won't press charges.

Capitol Police said that they made no arrests. I think the immigration rally set for today is a set up. The left knows they need to hurt the Tea Party movement. What better way then to cause a riot and have the media blame the Tea Party.
