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."

Queers.
There were no racist terms..Good God..the Republicans fell for the crap hook line and sinker
Where is the video showing this??????
It does not exist, because it did not happen.
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.
That’s total BS. 200 years ago, get the fk over it.
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.
Dems trying to create a wedge between the GOP and Tea Partiers.
get rid of these spineless morons
Instead of apologizing how about demand the Lame Stream Media provide the proof?
Yep, every time.
“The Dims and the MSM need to denounce stereotyping.”
Why? That is there expertise.
So tell me again why do people want to stay with the OP(formerly the GOP)?
More communist propaganda
Dimwits.
Conyers looking for a big time payoff. Like his WIFE.
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
Why don’t the dumb asses look at the video and call the democrats out as liars? Are they really as stupid as they act?
