During the showdown over healthcare reform, some of the members of the Tea Party took off their masks.

Many African Americans had already suspected some of these people are more opposed to the skin color of the man in the White House than they were to the president's political ideology.

Yep they are out to destroy white Western culture and how do you do that?

The accepted ‘racism’ is the destruction of whites and our culture.

Well, the people didn’t realize the were voting for Chicago politics to permiate D.C.

I love it when someone calls me a racist...Makes it easier to deal with the problem...

From the WT(they have debunked the story)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/23/the-race-card-canard/

“In another incident, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, Missouri Democrat, who is black, claimed a protester spat on him, and that the assailant was arrested by Capitol Police. Mr. Cleaver said he declined to file charges, but police spokesman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said no arrests were made that day. Beatrice Wilson and Lori Macomber, hosts of Blogtalkradio’s “All Fired Up,” spoke to someone standing next to the alleged spitter, who said, “They were chanting ‘Kill the bill’ but no one spit on [the congressman].” Police didn’t take witness statements, which they would do if they were investigating an incident.

Maureen Rehg of Alexandria, a traditionally Democratic voter who contributed to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, went to the rally Saturday expecting some turmoil but found instead that the demonstrators were very well-mannered and focused on the issue at hand. “They were way more polite than we were 30 years ago,” she said...”

Remember how we have been smeared with the term "neocon?"

There is a name for people like this guy: CRYPTOBIGOT

Cryptobigot: A narcissistic creep who believes that black people are inferior and cannot take care of themselves, but must be taken care of by him taking stuff away from people he disdains and giving it to people he pities.

Yes. Ignore them and get used to it. I’m wondering now if Pelosi and company planned that walk through the crowd just so they could make these claims that appear to be totally unfounded. I’m just wondering -

A member of our group who accompanied us to DC on Saturday, is black or at least part black. What a wonderfully intelligent woman patriot, who kept me laughing the whole trip! She also enlightened me on Communism's use of women to further their cause through the decades.

It's frightening to see Democratic women elected to government, who are being used for the socialist/Marxist agenda!

Yep, FOCUS, GUYS, FOCUS.

This is a distraction. We MUST repeal the Communist health enslavement bill.

There is no such thing as racism. There used to be, but now it just means someone progressives want to demonize. They have misused the word so much it’s lost it’s meaning.

There is an issue here with blacks and black culture, however, especially the second thing mentioned below. Not all blacks are subject to this culture and many are healthy, thriving people. From my observations, the prevailing black culture is dysfunctional in two important areas:

1) A kind of self-hatred/self rejection causes family relationships to be harsh and cruel, especially with their children, but also between husband and wife. The self rejection and harsh treatment growing up may have a lot to do with a lack of motivation.
2) An attitude that someone owes them a living and if something goes wrong, why isn’t somebody going to fix it for me. Obama's Socialism and HEaLLth BILL are reflections of this mindset. That also may be why no known black government is free and democratic but dictatorial.

Both are self-defeating, de-motivating mind-sets. Just ask the famous black Bill Cosby who goes around exhorting blacks to renounce these demeaning attitudes and ways of thinking. Having one as an imposter President doesn't help.

Good examples of black leaders who reflect healthy values and outlook are people like Supreme Court Justice Thomas and politician Alan Keyes.

A white male was detained by a Capitol police officer for allegedly spitting. After escorting Cleaver into the Capitol building, the officer went back and escorted the spitter to Capitol Police Headquarters.

If this were the case, the officer would have a name, the suspect would have been arrested; as the police are not endowed with 'escort' powers, and there would have been reports filed regardless of whether or not the 'victim' chose to pursue charges.

Expect to see more of these manufactured events as the perception is that this round was so successful. The lack of detail will be ascribed to protecting the sensibilities of racially or sexually challenged 'victims'.

Gee whiz. Who didn't see this coming? When their positions and actions are indefensible, they, i.e. liberal scumbags, run for cover under whatever slimy piece of shite of an excuse that fits the bill. If it were not an African African in the white house but a white democrat WOMAN, like the hildabeast.....it would all be because we are sexist.

Well it aint workin.

We know marxism when we see it, and we can see what these bastErds are trying to do to our country and we will not go quietly into the night.

“by people who were opposed to the legislation”

Seems he actually knows why we protest, yet he makes up the rascism angle to feel better about the government takeover of our physical being.

Hey race baiter, Keep your laws off MY BODY!

I’m wondering now if Pelosi and company planned that walk through the crowd just so they could make these claims that appear to be totally unfounded.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I did read one account, btw, that said that Barney Frank shouted "F* you" at a group of protestors who were chanting "Kill the Bill," and then some man in the crowd yelled back "fag." So if it that part happened, it was certainly an intentional provocation by Barney the Banking Queen.

But you know they'd love to have a genuine incident so they'd have an excuse for arresting us all. However, if no genuine incident is available, they'll just manufacture one. I'm convinced that they're going to be staging their Reichstag Fire soon.

Hogwash. If the Democrats wanted to demonize you, what would they say? We’re adding another permanent entitlement program at a time when we’re in what they call the worst downturn since the Great Depression. We’re $12 trillion dollars in debt now. We’re messing around with the most excellent healthcare in the World.

So, with no arguments to make, the Democrats want to talk about “racism”. It’s a false and a fake charge. Those majorities that oppose this healthcare bill are, I am to suppose, all racists?

“I’m convinced that they’re going to be staging their Reichstag Fire soon.”

I’m thinking the same thing, and it’s hard to think that about fellow Americans. But they show time and time again what they’re capable of.

It's not the evidence. It's the seriousness of the charge.

Fortunately now there is a large enough group of TRUTH tellers to combat these filthy leftist LIES.
