Reps. John Lewis (D-GA) and Andre Carson (D-IN), both members of the Congressional Black Caucus, say that a group of protesters hollered at them and called them the N-word.

"They were just shouting. Harassing," Lewis said. "People being downright mean."

They should be happy that they were hearing N bombs instead of Fire bombs!

At least they are still breathing on their own!

Damn whiners!

I’m with you! Usually the Tea Parties take great pains to tell everyone to behave in a polite, respectful manner & I somehow doubt anyone associated with them would want the Tea Party uprising tarred with the brush of racism worse than we already have been!

He didn’t claim it. Lewis and Scott claimed it. He is just reporting what they claimed.
A muslim and a black civil rights leader. They would never lie, right?

I could care less about a police report. These thugs deserve everything they get (demonrats I mean).

They’ve sold out our country and our children. A pox on all of them and their spawn.

Was it a left-wing live-blogger (there were dozens there today)? A LaRouche idiot? 3 hrs later...not a single audio or video clip even though at least 8 networks had cameras on the scene. I say BULLSHIT.

If they can marginalize the Tea Party movement they hope to save their asses in November; they’re out for total victory.

“Black Lawmakers Claim Health Care Protesters Hurled Verbal Epithets”
Fixed it.

YOU fixed it, but FoxNews ran the story based only upon the claim of a "staffer" to one of two Black Muslim Reps. in Congress. No other evidence exists, yet they run the story. Despicable!

Fat chance of that. Tea Party values are 100% American. This freakshow in DC represents a very small lunatic fringe who, if not for a certain Democrat president ordering otherwise, would be kept in locked facilities & properly medicated instead of running the country.

THEY DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES! Did anyone watch the Prez giving his little pep speech today? It is not a done deal by any means, and the Dems are desparate.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police said she was unaware of any law enforcement inquiry into the incidents.

That's because these were self-serving accusations fabricated for political purposes.

10-12 Tea Paries & all of the Obama/Hitler posters were from the LaRouche Democrats.

Here’s TP’s, you tell me where you hear it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPoJGNhWB-s&feature=player_embedded

They’re tweeting all over the place since earlier with this lie and bashing the heck out of Boehner and the rest of the GOP on twitter.

If it happened, it was a poser and they’re holding it for after we say it didn’t happen.

I can’t stand lying socialists.

"Where’s the video/audio?"

No evidence needed. The charges are too serious for that.
