Lewis, Frank, and Wiener too

[Inuca]

A staffer in Rep. Anthony Weiner’s office reported a stream of hostile encounters with tea partiers roaming the halls of Congress. The less harmful stuff was mockery. But they left a couple of notes behind. One asked what Rahm Emanuel did with Weiner in the shower, in a reference to mess around ex-Rep Eric Massa. It was signed with a swastika, the staffer said. The other note called the congressman “Schlomo Weiner,” among other hate-filled words.

1. Time to blast 'teabaggers' as Un-American, isn't it?

No more Mr./Ms. Nice-Guy, b'tds!

4. you know what Ell...

the MSM isn't picking up on the story-they'll still show the disconnected tea baggers' signs but no mention about what happened to Lewis, Cleaver, Frank, Slaughter and now Wiener-imagine if it was the other way around with the dems activists doing that to the GOP reps-they would be calling for them to be sent to Gitmo-and what's even more fucked up is these are NOT true grass roots protests-they have corporate lobbyists paying for the signs and waters and buses

5. CNN talked about it yesterday afternoon which surprised me but it was Don Lemon

and he is not a total idiot. I can only hope it gets more out there.
Here is what he said on his twitter:

talking about protesters today in dc allegedly calling john lewis the n-word, barney frank the f-word and spitting on rep cleaver. about 13 hours ago via web http://twitter.com/donLemonCNN

2. Good grief - these people are roaming the halls of Congress? Where is security? nt

[mucifer]

6. Someone did get arrested. The congressman declined pressing charges.

[polichick]

15. Which Congressman? Why drop the charges? nt

3. Slaughter and Cleaver...This is beyond out of hand the repubs are the cause. n/t

7. How are these nuts able to get inside to roam the halls where they can get close

to congresspeople?? Have they gone through some sort of security, and why aren't they removed for harassment of congressional memebrs and staff?

[windbreeze]

8. Can't we all visit Congress?

These people are fellow Americans after all...I just hope there are those paying close attention...These people don't intend to stop...it's only going to get worse according to what I have read...wb

[Cass]

9. Do they have to go through security? And are they being ejected for harassment because that's

what they are doing. I wouldn't think anyone could behave like this without being removed.

12. remember too

that when * was president, no one could get anywhere close to him to protest...and at times were physically ejected from his speeches for exposing a T-shirt that offended his small self....HOWEVER, there have been people allowed at Obama's speeches, who were openly CARRYING a weapon...so perhaps...someone is allowing them to demonstrate/protest, so freedom of speech is not being negated in any way?...I don't understand it, either...I was just trying to present it from the view that we are all Americans....that is why I sincerely hope that things are NOT allowed to be carried too far, and that someone IS watching and prepared to take action if it becomes necessary...

Then consider the people who are demonstrating, swear it's Democratic plants running around causing the problems so the teabaggers will look out of control....sometimes you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't...talking to some of these people is like talking into a black hole....wb

13. There's another thread saying that teabaggers got into the chamber

and were trying to disrupt the proceedings. I am really confused by this - I thought people weren't just allowed to roam around like this. It is making me very worried for the safety of the congress people and their staffs.

14. You must go through security to sit in the House

and Senate chambers. You must check all purses, phones, etc. As you are waiting to enter the chamber, the pages/aides list the rules of decorum you are expected to abide by.

It's too bad these people have no respect for authority, nor themselves, it seems.

[Thrill]

10. This Childish

Do they think this will actually make them vote no on the bill?

[Arkana]

11. These people are mindless, racist thugs

and should all be locked up for the rest of their natural lives.

I can't WAIT to hear them wail and gnash their teeth when this fuckin thing passes.
