Fox News ^ | 3/22/2010 | Staff

A man was arrested for spitting on a congressman. No, he was let go. Protestors shouted the n-word at black lawmakers. Witnesses say it never happened. A gay congressman was called a slur. Yet he was accused of swearing at someone in the crowd before that...

Youtube videos have surfaced that show protestors booing ans shouting "kill the bill" but not shouting the n-word. U.S. capitol police said [no] protestor was arrested...

[Kay] Fisher said Frank was the first to use salty language.

She said she and a half dozen other protestors were waiting outside a committee room in the Longworth House Office Building on Saturday for about 45 minutes when Frank finally emerged. He was mobbed by reporters she said, and the protestors started shouting things like "Kill the bill."

Then she said Frank snapped at them.

He looked at me and said, "F---you," she said.

Shortly after that, she said, a tall man with brown hair...walked up and said "fag" to Frank.

But she said the guy "disappeared" and that was the end of it.

Look for more of this as the Dems seek to villify the Tea Party movement leading to the November elections. Pure Alinsky...

Yep.

Tea Party protestors better get ready to take video phones, cameras, and every recording device they can with them and have them running non-stop.

Then, if they are accused of anything, back up their side with evidence and sue the pants off of anyone who lies about them.

BTW, some Tea Partiers could end up quite wealthy, especially if some high profile Democrat were to lie about them at some event in the future and they had evidence to rip to shreds the liars account of them and had other Tea Partiers to back them up and testify on their behalf.

Frank's father ran a Jersey City truck stop—a place Frank describes as "totally corrupt"—and served a year in prison, when Frank was 6 or 7

From the way he turned out, I would say - Frank was going on.

They need some thicker skin.

I don’t believe the traction of this, America is having a Civil War right now and the casualties are from name calling?

Well then I guess we don’t need ammo when the libs act like like a certain species of goat that freezes when its get scared. If only all wars were fought with bad language.

I imagine that most of the Tea Partiers have thick skin.

The problem is the MSM takes the accusations that Democrats bring against the Tea Partiers and acts as if an accusation is rock-solid proof. The MSM then runs with the story and tries to smears an entire movement.

Some Tea Partiers need to bring video recording devices with them, while the others brings signs - and keep the recorders rolling. That will put an end to a majority of the smears and might even put some fear in those who seek to smear and put some fear in some of those in the MSM who run with thee smears before finding out if its all true, and not just running with the accusations as if it is rock-solid proof.

It is hard to have an impact when a movement (Tea Party) keeps getting tarred and feathered. Credibility is a must and maintaining credibility even more important.

You do realize that the saying “Nice guys always finish last” does have some truth to it? For all the good points of the Tea Party and its undeniable strengths its still playing too nice. I know it was planted people but its their town, its like Vegas, the house always win.

We are wasting energy combatting this, we should walk away, our fellow members know the truth, if America cannot figure it out well lets just say they missed the last lifeboat arguing.

Of course it is, in the bible its said we must turn the other cheek.

You know being raised a Jehovahs Witness then escaping from it in my teens has taught me a few things about their meekness and then the many years of living on the streets and surviving just by my wits had given me a dual approach, I liken myself as a sheep wearing ballistic fleece and carrying a Glock.

Liberals don’t walk away. The MSM, liberal bloggers, liberal websites and so on run with accusations as if they are rock-solid proof long after the events in question. Tea Partiers have to fight back even harder as do conservatives, conservative news outlets, conservative bloggers and so on.

There is s time to walk away and a time to stand and fight the smears.

Did Obama walk away? No, he stood and formed a website called “fight the smears” even though what was said about him was backed up by people taking the words out of his own mouth and from his own books to show what kind of man he was and what he believed in and stood for.

Conservatives walk away far too often. Enough is enough.

Tea Party folks need to develop a thicker skin... do NOT even acknowledge the Democratic Party's baseless accusations!!

We have a job to do --> 1. eliminate the democratic majority in November... so FOCUS ... don't dabble in extraneous BS

2. start impeachment of Obambi by December 1...

Yes, we must turn the other cheek, but we must also look at other scriptutres and the whole counsel of God from the Bible.

Another scripture says to not allow that which is good to be spoken evil of. Conservatives cannot keep letting liberals speak evil of that which is good (Tea Party movement). They have to stand up and fight back.

We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

To say that it is one or the other is false. We can do both. We can forgive while seeking to set the record straight. This isn’t an either or moment here.
