Rising tensions on Capitol Hill is a cliche in cable news, but it may never have been apt than today. With the House of Representatives currently negotiating a controversial vote on a Senate bill that aims to reform health care, protesters have gathered to voice their opposition to the bill. CNNs Capitol Hill reporter Dana Bash reports today of personally witnessing epithets being used towards John Lewis (D-GA) and Barney Frank (D-MA) by protesters that had been identified earlier as Tea Party people.

These people - and congress all together - Should consider the outcome if this crowd in DC today decides to return again to the capital. Only next time they will exercise their 2nd amendment rights.

To: OldDeckHand
As I stood in front of the Congressional office buildings with 1000s of teapartiers today, a 40ish couple walked by the throng of scary and endangered voters who also pay taxes.
This couple were wearing the "hope" and "change" editions of the Obama campaign portrait on their tshirts.
As they passed by me the woman said in a scornful, sarcastic voice "white power" and shook her head in disgust at the throng of scary and endangered voters who also pay taxes.
I was immediately pissed off and shouted at her "what a racist thing to say".
I shake my head in disbelief that voters who pay taxes are automatically dismissed as racists by the liberal elite.
Fortunately, it was a good day overall. We surrounded the office buildings in a way that congress has never seen.

” CNNs Capitol Hill reporter Dana Bash ...”
During the Plame case , Bash was heard saying Bullsh.t on air when CNN aired a piece quoting Karl Rove .
John King of CNN wakes up every morning next to this scrawny , bulgy eyed, horse toothed harridan .

C4P had a good comment...
"Since most of us did not attend the rally, what we have is a he-said, she-said situation where only video can provide the truth. Until such video is provided, there really is no reason for me to believe anything from Clyburn given his history of shamelessly playing the race card."

Just got off the bus from teh DC rally. Tremendous turnout, hugely enthusiastic crowd, excellent speakers. Saw and heard absolutely nothing of this sort all day.
I estimate 40-50,000 people.

Yes, why is no one reporting this? Not even Fox.
Instead they covered the anti-war rally with "hundreds" of people.
Can they not count? "Hundreds" is news, but 40,000 - 50,000 is not?
To: OldDeckHand
even Fox News focusing on this alleged incident, and ignoring the (tens of) thousands who were there today
No press reporring except for this incident
Yet AP picked up on 1,000 people protesting Putin in St Petersburg
anti communists in Russia- news
anti communists in Washington DC- bad ... and racists

please stop.
Don’t tell me I have no sense of humor, I do.
Your repeated blackface postings are just not funny and in fact support the idiots making allegations against all of us WHO WERE THERE
