BigGovernment has a piece about "racial slurs" yelled at black congressmen on Saturday. Turns out it was just another lie from desperate people willing to say anything, and a compliant press who believes everything they hear from Democrats.
Of course - the protestors have video. This is what John Lewis and Emmanuel Cleaver had to walk through. Pretty tame. I've faced worse the day after Christmas at a Home Depot sale.
As the video makes the rounds, we're going to hear people defending Cleaver, saying he "heard" the racial slurs. I say Cleaver is a liar. A no-good, race-baiting hustler who holds his job because his daddy was an effective politician. There was no reaction from any of the reps, none of the associates did anything, and neither did the Capitol Police. Are we supposed to believe that in 2010, you can hear racial slurs and just stand there and take it? Nonsense. They're lying, and the press ate it up, because they wanted to believe it. As for the story about being spit on - Cleaver is remarkably cool for someone supposedly assaulted. Was it a drop from someone shouting? Was it a passing bird?
He's lying, and this looks exactly like a planned attempt to change the subject at the last moment. The San Francisco Chronicle even comes out and says Tea Party Racism Unites Democrats. We know the truth. The Democrats will do and say anything in an attempt to control healthcare. They've lied about the CBO numbers. They've lied about illegal immigrants. They've bribed, and coerced, and blackmailed, and when the vote comes shortly, they will alter the rules again to get to 216 votes.
The Democrats have cast aside all pretenses of honesty and are moving forward with one goal - the consolidation of power. At this point, I don't see how we can believe anything they say, or what is reported by a clueless media.
UPDATE: News reports are claiming Capitol Hill police arrested a protester for spitting on Cleaver. I want a name. Let's see the police report. And let's see video. There were hundreds of cameras and phones around, including those in the hands of staffers. Where is video backing up the Congressman?
There will be none. This was a set-up, conveniently timed and released to the press the night before the vote.

uh huh

He wasn't lying. you tea partiers are racists, plain and simple. Why is it there are never any blacks, hispanics, at these rallies. we know why. they'd be confronted with angry white violence!

I suspect that Cleaver must have had a civil rights flash back and that's about as close as it got. In furtherance, let's set the record straight DEMOCRATS CAN BE AND ARE THE REAL RACISTS as proven by Cleaver's bogus accusations.
This is plantation politics at its ugliest.

Dems have little if any merit to their arguments - they must rely on dividing the country through racial politics. These people lie constantly to create division.

Plantation politics has and will be the implementation used by weak minded individuals. As Steve put it there are NEVER any blacks, or hispanics at these events. I think Steve needs to watch the video. You and Cleaver need to get off your Racial allegations. This is about terrible politicians pushing socialism on America.
