Republicans denounce racist and anti-gay slurs
WASHINGTON POST ^ | 21 MARCH 2010 | MATT DELONG

Posted on 03/21/2010 11:10:03 AM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Following reports yesterday that black and openly gay Democratic lawmakers were subjected to spitting and epithets from anti-health care reform protesters outside the Capitol, Republican leaders said Sunday that such incidents were "isolated" and "reprehensible."

On CNN's "State of the Union," Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) denounced the use of such slurs "in the strongest terms possible."

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the "isolated incidents" were "reprehensible."

Later on the same program, Michael Steele, the Republican National Committee's first black chairman, agreed that the incidents were "reprehensible," and added, "we do not support that."

Make them prove it happened before apologizing.

But the RINO GOP hates the Tea Parties. They know we are going to kick them out and make them form their own third party of "moderate" RINOs.

And even FOX News seems overly eager too repeat... nay.. reinforce.. this apparently false meme of widespread racial slurs from the protesters, despite growing evidence to the contrary.

“Why denounce something that probably never happened? Why not denounce accusations (with out proof)?”

Because they are idiots.

These are Democrat/Insurance Party tactics to shame ultra liberals into voting for the bill. The Tea Partiers are the bogeymen to invoke, the Republican politicians useful idiots to prove it true.

Looks like Pelosi is worried.

OH what a relief reminds me of Al Sharpton apologizing for the comments on the Duke LaCrosse Team. Lives were destroyed by false charges and the black leaders joined forces in defending the stripper. Yet, Fox news caters to Al Sharpton.

THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL OUR FREEDOM. Anything short of bullets being fired at them is only because the American People are showing considerable restraint. A little bit of name-calling (even if the stories are true) is the least they should have to endure as they vote to end the United States as we have known it for over 200 years.

they’ve condemned stereotyping

While at the same time, attempting to perpetuate it via their Diversity programs.

Diversity = Embracing stereotypes
