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.

They call us racists. That’s their MO. Black-face just shows how ridiculous their made up racism is. I guess you don’t get it. Have the mods pull it. Go ahead. I don’t GAF.
If people had shouted these “epithets” it would already be on YouTube. They lie. (As usual.)
Unfortunately, it does not look good.
FNC Carl Cameron on the Huckster's show just reported that the rats don't need the slaughter solution any more,bad news for us.
That means they have at least 216 and maybe more in the wings for the weak kneed socialists who want to keep their jobs(try anyway) at the last minute.
But the teapartiers have the high moral ground....
And the teapartiers are the ones who have fought to maintain the second amendment. They are the ones who think the right to keep and bear arms has a real purpose. They vote, they pay taxes, and they have been abused....
They pulled it. Satisfied. You had better grow thicker skin. It’s about to get real nasty for us.
So the liberal woman in the Obama shirt said “white power”?
Makes me wonder if the people who supposedly used the N word weren’t liberal trolls.
Great stuff speaking for my self I am proud you were there and consider you representing many of us at FR at one of its finest hours.
Yes the ***white*** liberal woman scornfully said “white power” in disgust at the folks paying her salary.
YOU don’t need to play into the hands of the rats either.
The term racist is so overdone it’s lost it’s punch. We we cower at trumped up racism, then we lose. I knew when B. Obama was elected that every criticism is going to be called racist. Get used to it. 3 years to go....
I’m glad I’m within driving distance to be able to do it. I’d carry a Free Republic flag if I had one.
I’m glad others were able to overload the phones, faxes, and emails on the other front.
I will say that ***Never*** that I’m aware of have citizens come to the step of the congressional office buildings demanding redress of greivances. And ***Never*** that I’m aware of, has congress turned such a deaf ear. We are on the edge of something important.
I was standing on the corner when this group passed, not 8 feet away. They were jeered all the way into the office building but absolutely no racial slurs. They were only in contact with the public for about 20 yards. The press are lying scumbags.
The game is to outsmart the marxists, not play into their hands and give them stuff. The country is at stake
P.S> Don’t you know. According to CNN: ALL REPUBLICANS ARE RACISTS /sarc
“epithets being used towards John Lewis (D-GA) and Barney Frank (D-MA)”
Epithets like “fat, stupid, and ugly”?
Perhaps the biggest worry is that if obamacare passes tomorrow how far away can amnesty, cap/tax and the rest be? And we already know they planned to use the slaughter rule but now won't. That doesn't mean they won't next time.
We have to hold their feet to the fire until Nov. Even then the joker will play fast and lose with Presidential powers.
Still, does not get any better than what you guys did today! Totally standing up for America is as good as it gets!!
Yeah for sure. That’s why even the cartoon channel has higher numbers than CNN,a waste of effort by the left.
John Lewis is so racially sensitive he hears epithets in his sleep. What’s really amazing is that he was able to keep an exact count of how many times he heard it, fifteen. It’s almost like he took the over in the racial epithets over/under bet. Ironically, every time I see Lewis speak in Congress I can only understand a few words...in fact...last week when he spoke, I could only understand...Fifteen....On my way to play 15 in the lottery. Back later.
Why doesn’t CNN stage some ACORN agents disguised as Tea Partiers and yelling slurs? Then they could get video for their fake news.
Mind readers hard at work. Super tuned their mics to pick up thoughts!
These people will have worked themselves into such a corner and undefendable position that there will be mass suicide on the left when the politic reverses polarity come November. OR ELSE they may need a wee bit of assistance!!!!
