"'Kill the Bill' IS racist!"
Posted on 03/20/2010 7:55:48 PM PDT by kristinn
A video has surfaced this evening of the incident today involving civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Lewis has alleged that he was called a n***** by the protesters.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), who was walking with Rep. Lewis, says he heard the word n***** fifteen times.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) claims "It was a chorus" of people yelling "n*****."
The video, filmed by Marooned in Marin and posted at YouTube, shows Reps. Lewis and Carson walking together, with Rep. Cleaver several yards behind as they fight their way through the Tea Party patriots like they were in 1965 Selma, Alabama.
Reps. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are also walking behind Lewis in the video.
View the shocking video here.
Geraldo mentioned the yelling of the racial slurs as fact, there are articles everywhere claiming it as fact.
People need to send them the video to show that it’s NOT true.
"'Kill the Bill' IS racist!"
ANGER AROUND THE CAPITOL
It's early yet, and there's no video of Tea Party protesters using slurs.
But the testimony of John Lewis -- one of the three men George W. Bush said he admired most -- and the brick through Louise Slaughter's office window threaten a sense that Republicans have lost control of the grassroots anger they seemed to have learned to channel and stoke.
And as Rahm Emanuel told Eric Massa, angry doesn't always play so well at the polls. Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan demanded tonight that Republicans who spoke at the Tea Party rally denounce it. The weekend, beginning with the questions about a memo they were pushing, has found the GOP spending a lot more time on defense than anyone expected.
Louise Slaughter T-Shirt:
I led a socialist takeover of the world’s greatest economy and ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT AND A BRICK.
Clever, LOL.
Never heard it K. Has this proof been sent to the media?
"Can't you see that that man...?"
I don't hear it on that video, either. All I hear is "KILL THE BILL."
They're making it up. They're that desperate.
I agree. I heard nothing. But I think that was the point of the link. (ha ha)
Frankly, I’m absolutely loving the scene of these Dems all getting booed here and in town meetings. Everywhere.
There is no question we are getting on their nerves and psyching them out. They have been used to 25 years of political correctness where we just roll over and keep handing them our tax money.
Obviously, they are just liars as always..maybe that is what they expected to hear...
I thought Barney Frank was proud of being a Faggot?
Where does Romney say he was never pro choice? I have heard him say that he was wrong and sees differently now. Are you misrepresenting what he has said?
Perhaps someone was playing some “rap” music nearby and our esteemed legislators overheard it?
You have to play it backwards and listen for the secret messages.
BTW, I don't know if blacks realize this fully, but white people just don't use that word, at all, ever, even in private.
Yeah, I know they used to. But the last time I ever heard a white person utter it in real life (i.e. not in a movie, or a documentary about white supremacists) I was about 9 years old, maybe 11. That would have been around 1970 or '72. It was an old man my dad knew, at our breakfast table on a Saturday or Sunday. Remember it clearly. He babbled about a coming "race war" and such. Even then my parents were shocked and embarrassed.
I'm from the South, and have been around a lot of working class people, and haven't heard that word used by a white person in nearly four decades now. It just doesn't happen.
Agent provocateurs.
What is that? ...All hat and no saddle?....
