Breitbart's Big Gov: "Media Lying About Racist Attacks on Black Reps by Tea Party Protesters"
It’s come to this…

The state-run media is now pushing their anti-tea party propaganda from sources at the anti-military Jew-hating conservative-hating Huffington Post. And, they’re reporting this propaganda without a single piece of evidence.

On Saturday the media reported without a shred of evidence that tea party protesters were shouting obscenities and “n***er” at black Representatives on Capitol Hill. The representatives said it happened as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building.

The Huffington Post is concerned that those conservative, church-going, taxpaying tea party protesters are using words like “slaughter” on their signs.

~snip~

But, look at this…

Here’s video proof that these horrible leftists are liars:

~snip~

REMEMBER: These radical liars with stop at nothing to ram their socialist agenda down America’s throat. And, the state-run media will report their racist filth without question.

5. Yes, because the existence of video where you DON'T hear racist slurs
proves they didn't happen.

6. Comments from the representatives themselves don't count as "evidence"?

The Righties insult and degrade people in public, brag about it and congratulate themselves on their web sites, then deny it ever happened on "decent" web sites,and then blame it all on the "Liberals" and the Government - all on the same day!

More turns than a drunk snake....

18. Oh, and don't forget, old mark, they were SEIU and ACORN plants!
Yup, yup. They always are. Oh, and also, these Reps set themselves up by walking through the crowd anyway, what did they expect? - It's that old 'blame the victim' routine.

7. Note that a "shred of evidence" does not include the word of US Representatives.
The implication is as bad as the epithets. Part of me hates that these people can abuse and manipulate the right to free speech, even as their Representatives fight for them.

8. This video shows a portion of the time they were walking INTO the building.
So not only doesn't the video cover the entire walk through the crowd, the denials ignore the fact that the racial taunting occurred as Congressmen were walking OUT of the Capitol building.

Protesters outside the Capitol hurled epithets at Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Andre Carson (D-Ind.) as they left the building after President Obama delivered an 11th-hour speech on behalf of the health care bill. Carson told reporters that protesters yelled "kill the bill," then used a racial epithet to describe Carson and Lewis, who is a revered figure on both sides of the aisle.


And also inside the office building:

According to observers, Frank was confronted by about 100 protesters inside the Longworth House Office Building, where Democrats were huddling for another meeting about the legislation. Some targeted Frank with anti-gay epithets and urged him to vote against the bill.


So this denial is based on a lie, and is instantly believed by the teabaggers (well, those not claiming they were infiltrated by dirty Commie provocateurs).

Thanks for detailing it here. They'll go to any great length and leaps of logic to deny this.

21. Barney Frank has a simple
solution for these disingenuous assholes. If they could get away with wearing hoods, they would.

25. Well, the point is that they claimed the video didn't have anyone yelling the
N word, but, now, others have said that you can actually hear it being yelled on the very clip Breitbart, et al, used to claim you couldn't hear it.

:crazy:

26. It sounds like the 'N' word to me, too, but it's hard to tell.
Clearly the incidents could have occurred during this video if heard from another angle, and clearly the incidents could have occurred at other times, as pointed out above.

27. Yes, and that's why their claim that it didn't happen just because it didn't show up on one
video was so juvenile and lame, anyway. Ah well, what can we expect? lol.
