This whole episode was fabricated in an effort to discredit the Tea Party. There is NO WAY the Capitol Police would have tolerated that many epithets without stepping in to control the situation. And they didn’t, because they didn’t have to.
Yup, that's what my husband and I believe... we were there on Saturday (and Sunday). There were members of the Capitol Police escorting the congressmen (who did not have to be in the middle of the Tea Party crowd... they could have used the underground tunnels like all the other members of Congress did). Plus, as the article states, members of Rep. Lewis' entourage were filming everything - using two cameras. So let's see their film.
Before this "incident" allegedly took place, one of the Capitol policemen told my husband that they had spotted a few "professional agitators" trying to blend in with the Tea Party crowd at one point.
The whole non-incident is a big LIE, cooked up by the democRATs... probably by Rahm Emanuel or David Axelrod. The congressmen purposely walked through a "hostile" crowd, trying to provoke a reaction - didn't get one - so they made up a story, and their fellow 'RAT Congressmen and the MSM backed them up and spread the word.
