CNN's Capitol Hill correspondent Dana Bash is reporting that Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), a black Congressman who is a Civil Rights era icon, was called a "n*****" by Tea Party protesters gathered on Capitol Hill today to rally against the Democrat's healthcare bill.
Bash also reported Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) was called a slur related to his homosexuality by Tea Party protesters.
No video so far of either incident.
Bash did note that the most constant and resonant words of the Tea Party protesters were "Kill the bill!" And that that chant was inescapable on the Hill today.
Frank is just sick.
Truer words were never spoken!
Liberals also lie...
Did someone at CNN call someone a tea-bagger, perhaps?
Barney is a greasy old fag. Nothing wrong with saying that. The word fag does not equal the N word, which is racist. Fag has nothing to do with race and is nothing but a poor lifestyle choice.
I have been busy bombarding a bunch of leftists with the truth about Obama on one of their forums. I find that one went ballistic, one was befuddled, and the rest are scared and outraged that the creep wants to force them to pay $12,000 per family for health insurance and fine them or put them in jail by using thousands of IRS enforcers if they don’t comply. Yes. I am doing my part and making inroads. I dumped so much on them at once it was a shock and awe situation.
Yep. Same as the brick through the window.
Were they synchronized with each other?
Two words-Agent provocateur. I guess these morons never heard of those words.
Probably that 16 year old punk from Wal Mart.
OMG, they called a queer a queer. What is the world coming to when deviants no longer get a pass to freely rim and felch young boys? It is uncivilized I tell you.

"You Freepers"?
Interesting.
I am a conservative with balls that will call a spade a spade unlike the Rinos and other so called Republicans, Conservatives etc. in Congress that whimper and recoil under pressure .I have two sons that will hopefully help to weed out the likes of you when I am gone. The reason we are dealing with the destruction of this country by the Kenyan is because of people who think like you do .
Why reinforce the stereotype? There are racist conservatives just like there are racist liberals, though the type of racism is much different (i.e. people like Harry Reid think that blacks have to rely on his brilliance to succeed).
Of course there are racist conservatives, and I think my post describing why this is a story is the most accurate here.
Yes, CNN is using propagandist tactics.
Here is what I posted:
I’m sure this did happen, but we have to realize that the Tea Party rally is the size of a small city! What propagandists do when they cover these protests is focus in on the most radical elements to harm the credibility of the crowd’s cause. I’m sure these reporters went into the crowd looking for the most controversial things to report on, and they probably found them.
I thought it was okay to hurl homosexual slurs, since Barney Frank and co have oh so hilariously referred to Tea Partiers as “tea baggers” since their inception.
Yes, how convenient.
There's not a Demonrat or journalist out there that doesn't call the tea partiers "tea-baggers" at every opportunity. Then they cry foul and pretend like they've been insulted when a tea-partier "allegedly", without evidence or proof of any kind, calls them a "racist" name.
Wahhh.
Newbie, Crawl back under your rock and cyber back to DU.
