I'm calling Reps. John Lewis, Andre Carson, Emanuel Cleaver and the news media liars. Despicable liars. It's been nealy 48 hours since the three Democrat Congressmen made their claims that they were called "n*****" by Tea Party protesters.
The trio described a scene straight out of Bull Connor as they walked through protesters on Capitol Hill, claiming that a "chorus" of voices chanted "n*****" fifteen times at them.
With all the news media on the Hill, with all the protesters and liberal operatives on the Hill with video recorders and cellphone video devices there is no proof that has been presented. There are not even any 'earwitness' reports. Just the word of three Democrat politicans.
I know the Tea Party crowd. I've stood with them in Florida and D.C. at several rallies. I've never seen or heard the behavior claimed by the Democrats. I've never seen or heard that behavior in the hundreds of Free Republic rallies and protests I've participated in.
Is the cliche 'there's one in every crowd' true? Yes. We saw that with the recorded isolated incidents of Barney Frank being taunted for his homosexuality. But it wasn't a chorus and the person who said it was quickly admonished by other protesters.
The news media has gleefully smeared the Tea Party protesters without asking for proof of these outrageous charges of racism. Democrats lie, politicans lie. Race hoaxes are sadly commonplace. Where's the proof for this one? Nowhere.
Liars! Despicable liars.
This is an unwinnable fight. We should shrug our shoulders and accuse them of being the New Slavers.
They are so used to it, that they would lie when the truth sounds better.

If racist chants did come from the T-Party group, who’s to say they weren’t infiltrated by leftist RATS who purposely caused the trouble? This is an old Sol Alinsky tactic.

There is footage. But there are NO slurs on any of it. Liars is exactly the term here. They’re liars.
Leftists lie.
All the time.
About everything.
Sharks eat.
Skunks stink.
Leftists lie.
It's what they do.
Everybody is wrong, These Congress Critters ARE GUILTY OF A HATE CRIME,
Making False Allegations using Sexual Preference or Race as a Qualifier is a HATE CRIME against The People Of The United States
It’s a rant that represents the thoughts of so many of us. I hope you have the opportunity to make those points on the air - T.V. and radio.
Facts are hard taskmasters..
The msm has an agenda and no proof is needed to slander patriots.
The same place you’ll find evidence that people were saying it at Palin’s campaign rallies last fall.
They never were called any such thing.
Well after seeing the video online of them walking in unless someone got close enough to whisper it to them which I highly doubt they lied to make the tea partiers look bad.
The spitting incident was said to have had an arrest and the capital police were contacted and said no one was arrested yesterday so that to me disproved what he had to say.
Carson isn’t very big on factual accuracy. He called the tea party people who appeared outside his Indianapolis office “rent-a-protesters”.
Proof? We don’ need no stinkin’ proof!
Those Congressmen were recording their walk though the crowd on their phones - where are their videos?
This lie is being reported as truth all over the media. The comment sections are riddled with cries that the Tea Party are the wing of the KKK. This needs to be stopped! It will turn us into the Conservative equivalent of PETA - A Joke.
For the RNC to apologize for something that never happened is atrocious! It feeds the beast.
Do not turn a cheek because you know their wrong - punch them back.
Liars!
