Hallelujah! New Dem Claim: "It was a chorus" calling John Lewis a n***** at Tea Party Protest

A Democrat Congressman who says he was a few yards behind Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) as he was walking between Congressional buildings today when Lewis was allegedly called a n***** by Tea Party protesters says that it was actually a chorus of voices calling Lewis a n*****.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) is quoted by McClatchy Newspapers as saying he "distinctly heard" Lewis called a n*****:

"It was a chorus," Cleaver said. "In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff - they're being whipped up. I decided I wouldn't be angry with any of them."

Politico has reported that Lewis claimed it was only one protester who called him a n*****:

When Rep. John Lewis said he was voting for the bill, someone yelled, "Baby killer."

Later, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn said that he heard from Lewis that another protestor later called him the N-word. A Lewis staffer confirmed that Lewis had been the target of that slur.

Politico also reported that a spokesman for Rep. Cleaver issued a statement claiming Cleaver was spat on by a protester:

“This afternoon, the Congressman was walking into the Capitol to vote, when one protester spat on him. The Congressman would like to thank the US Capitol Police officer who quickly escorted the other Members and him into the Capitol, and defused the tense situation with professionalism and care. After all the Members were safe, a full report was taken and the matter was handled by the US Capitol Police. The man who spat on the Congressman was arrested, but the Congressman has chosen not to press charges. He has left the matter with the Capitol Police.

A later report by CNN now has Lewis saying he was "repeatedly" called a n*****. Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) says he heard the word n***** "several times" while walking with Lewis.

Rep. Carson told the Washington Times he counted the times he heard the word n*****:

"It just happened on the way to votes. Coming out of [Cannon]…John Lewis’ chief of staff came with us. It was just the three of us walking down the steps. ‘Kill the bill, Kill the bill…n-word, fifteen times."

Newsbusters reported on ABC News' report of the alleged incidents:

Emanuel Cleaver was together with John Lewis – they were walking over to the Capitol when somebody spit on Congressman Cleaver and yelled the ‘N’ word at Congressman Lewis. Cleaver was taken to police headquarters. He did ID the man, but he is not going to press charges. He’s not speaking about it. Lewis is not going to speak about it. They don't want to take any more details away from the vote that’s coming up tomorrow.

CNN also claims that Rep. Barney Frank was called a "faggot" and that Frank claims he was called a "homo" by protesters.

No video of these claimed incidents have surfaced. The n***** charges have not been confirmed by anyone so far, except for those making the claims.

Kinda funny how this boisterous but peaceful protest:

has morphed into this without a video camera having recorded a thing based on claims that a handful of jerks in a crowd of thousands acted like jerks:

Politico reported that when Rep. Frank was called a homo or something, the heckler was swiftly dealt with by Tea Party protesters:

Frank, who is gay, was leaving the Longworth House Office Building when a man yelled a charged homophobic slur at the Massachusetts lawmaker.

Other protesters quickly admonished the shouter, with one woman yelling back, "We don't need that."

Given that example, there is no way a "chorus" of protesters chanted n***** at John Lewis with nobody shouting them down after the first n***** was allegedly uttered.

Is this a dumb question? Why were these Black guys the only ones to walk through the crowd?

[silverleaf]

Michelle Bachmann announced an estimated 40K since the front lawn of the Capitol was full and that is the capacity.

We eyeballed the scene from Grants Memorial,and estimated the crowd would fill the US Naval Academy football stadium which is about 40K. But not the Penn State football stadium at 75K! Too bad, another 50,000 folks would have been awesome.

Even if we misoverestimated by double, there were at LEAST 20,000 people there and that was at about 2PM, after hours of speeches.

Absolutely. Classic false flag operation. Remember how almost all the incidents where nooses were allegedly hung on black faculty members doors, and other bogus racial incidents, have turned out to be staged by the supposed victims themselves. No one denies that there are a few racist thugs out there, but to have “a chorus” of supposed tea-party protesters shouting out the n-word, if indeed this happened at all, smacks of a set-up. If it wasn’t SEIU, it was any number of other potential provocateurs attempting to discredit the tea-party movement.

[Hardastarboard]

The "N" word? Nazi? Neo-Socialist? Nanny Stater? Neo-Stalinist? Numb Nuts (that one's technically two "N" words)?

Certainly the MSM, replete with members who are all of the "N" words above, would cringe just as much at the words above as any word that begins with an "N" and has a "g" or two in it.

[Bronzy]

Yes, that was for sure. The loud group with the bullhorn had professionally produced signs. The Tea Party group was across the street and were hardly heard.

[popdonnelly]

Yes, and Carson said the tea party people were “rent a protesters”. Andre Carson is a freshman, and he certainly isn’t doing anything to increase his credibility.

[kristinn]

You are bad. Very bad.

"In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff"

I don't, Demwits have always done such nasty stuff as this latest lie and libel, and they never acknowledge that they did something wrong or evil. I don't feel sorry for them, and I won't. :') Thanks kristinn.

[Terry Mross]

They get their socialized medicine thus winning big (they will get it) but they’re not happy. They still want to slander and destroy anyone who voices opposition to the messiah. Are they afraid or do they simply want to shut down everyone who’s not a follower?

[Bronzy]

He is a thorn in my side. The way the representative’s calls are set up, he is the only one I can call. I’ve called several times and have written. He is voting for the bill come hell or high water. Socialist as his grandma Julia.

sorry Kristinn; just noticed you also started the “vindication” thread. So anxious to get this out to all the threads that were carrying the allegations. We all doubted their veracity. So glad you found some proof.

Wrt Cleaver and Lewis, at least one of them is a damned liar. That’s a fact.

[TLI]

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) is quoted by McClatchy Newspapers as saying he "distinctly heard" Lewis called a n*****:

(first report...)

Politico has reported that Lewis claimed it was only one protester who called him a n*****:

(later…)

A later report by CNN now has Lewis saying he was "repeatedly" called a n*****. Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) says he heard the word n***** "several times" while walking with Lewis.

(much later…)

When Rep. John Lewis said he was voting for the bill, someone yelled, "Baby killer."

Then... "reported that a spokesman for Rep. Cleaver issued a statement claiming Cleaver was spat on by a protester"

It was just the three of us walking down the steps. ‘Kill the bill, Kill the bill…n-word, fifteen times."

(even later...) CNN also claims that Rep. Barney Frank was called a "faggot" and that Frank claims he was called a "homo" by protesters.

(by sundown)

And, and then they spit on John, Lewis AND Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

And, and after that they spit on him FIFTEEN times.

(the evening...)

And, and, and they, they spit on John, Emanuel and Barney!

And, and, and they, they spit on all of them fifteen times and threw rocks while calling EVERYBODY n*****s!

And, and, and then they threw rocks at everybody, called them all n*****s, s****s, q****s, and , and they hit them.

(later that night...) And, and, and then they beat up everybody, called them all n*****s, s****s, q****s while spitting and throwing rocks on them fifteen times before the beat them all up.

(tomorrow morning...)

And, and, and, then they beat up everybody, called them all n*****s, s****s, q****s while spitting and throwing rocks on them fifteen times before the beat them all up while pulling off their regular shirt and pants so we could see their ninja assassin black suits and they started cutting off John, Lewis AND Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's arms and legs until they killed them! They are dead, just go ask `em!

And, and, and, then they…

And, and, and, then they...
