Videos show that there were only two police officers, and they were walking behind the congressmen when they left the Capitol.

What shameful men these Congressmen are. They felt perfectly safe with this conservative crowd. They know perfectly well that these are good people.

I can think of nothing more Un-American than using lies about racism in an attempt to shut down Americans rights to be heard and right to address Congress.

To use this type of ploy shows just how desperate the unhinged left has become.

The thing to do is to sue this Douglas maggot, and Cleaver too for libel. Get them to retract and apologize. Dissent is good.

Minority Leader John Boehner should have kept his mouth closed until an investigation into the alleged “slur” was conducted. His public statement only served to heighten the false allegation.

[TheThinker]

Even if there were racial epithets hurled, and I don't believe there were, what the hell does that have to do with the debate on healthcare?

That's right, nothing. This is just an effort to smear and distract like always by power-hungry, human-rights denying Leftists.

“allowed saliva to hit my face.”

Not at all the same thing as deliberate spitting. What a disgraceful person.

[Jet Jaguar]

Somebody is making a false statement.

Government employees get fired for that.

[Rome2000]

Douglas cites only Cleaver as the person who "distinctly heard 'nigger.'

Probably hears it everyday when he wakes up and looks in the mirror.

They have prescription medicine for schizophrenia these days, he should see a head shrinker.

The best summary of this disgraceful story I’ve seen.

[griffin]

we were in DC that weekend. Spoke with a fellow protester on Sunday. She said she was right in the group surrounding Lewis and heard nothing like ‘nigger’. Was a bunch of madeup garbage.

Good investigative jounalism by this reporter!

[Brad from Tennessee]

False accusations of racism is the last refuge of scoundrels. “Political correctness” as interpreted today is philosophical suicide.

Keep those video cameras rolling at Tea Party events. It’s great to have demonstrable PROOF that accusations like these are bogus!

[Tex-Con-Man]

For me, the larger story is why they insisted on going through the crowd when it would have been easier and safer to take the tunnel.

Clearly, they were hoping for a confrontation...and when they didn't get one, they made one up.

[AmericanArchConservative]

bookmark bump!
Conservatives getting dissed and lied about...yet again (or still)

[Siena Dreaming]

I get the distinct impression that Cleaver made the whole thing up; I don't think any saliva hit his face at all.

I watched the video; I think he's a liar and good actor.

[jonrick46]

This ploy is right out of the playbook of the Southern Poverty Law Center. I wonder if Morris Seligman Dees or Mark Potok have had a hand in shaping this strategy against the Tea Party movement?

[roses of sharon]

Gotta lie to protect their affirmative action Kenyan.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

Because liberals think of nothing but race they think everyone else is doing the same.

[NTHockey]

The damage is done. No one will know - or care - that it is a lie.

Until people who fan the flames of racism - all LIBs - are convicted of crimes, they will not stop. In a litigious society, that may be the only way to stop this madness before all Hades breaks loose.

After all, if everyone thinks you are racist, and everyone keeps lying, eventually they will hate you enough to get rid of you.
