Everyone should let the msm we KNOW they are spreading LIES.

The 'msm' is the vehicle of the party of liars and thieves, not sure they really give a hoot, what we know...

BamBamKennedy used the Foxes the other evening to give US his in our face, punk international salute. This so called episode of a special 'caucus' claiming they were jeered, sneered, spat upon is a common tool used by these liars to change the subject when they are losing.... and I fully expect all the Sunday morning shows to be all charged up focusing solely on how horrible these people were treated as they somehow found their way right in the midst of protesters.

This guy had a dream last night he was spitting on The Constitution and today interpreted it as someone spitting on him. Victim status feels better.

Not going back to it right now, but if I recall correctly, one of the videos of the incident showed the congressmen walking in a direction that would have taken them well past the protesters, then one of the congressmen pointing toward the protesters, then the group of them changing direction by about 90 degrees to walk toward the protesters. IOW, it appeared they quite intentionally "found their way" through the cordon of protesters.

I'd like to know what the pointing Congressman was saying at that moment. I'm imagining something like, "Over There! Those Crackers will call us N*****!"

Or did the pointing Congressman spot a plant or provocateur?

EXACTLY!!!! For all we know the epithet could have been used by one of them as they caucused their way into the crowd. (IF uttered) These are the ACORN overlords that filled voter registration forms for the purpose of cheating in elections. So it is going to take more than their accusations for me to give their claims gravitas.... Timing is everything to these liars and cheats, and their Jon Stewart media is chiming in as if on cue.

Facts- and evidence-- don't matter anymore- It’s all about the narrative:

DOES CLYBURN OWE TEA PARTY PROTESTERS AN APOLOGY? The bogus racism card has been played so often that I no longer find such charges very credible. I’m sure, however, that, true or not, they’ll be played much more loudly than the indisputably true statements about the antiwar movement.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Short on hate: “The rally earlier today on the West Lawn in opposition to the health-care legislation before Congress had all the fingerprints of a somewhat organic celebration of democracy. There was a pretty focused message, but mostly displayed on handwritten signs. . . . As I walked around, if it weren’t for the congressmen and some right-wing organization types speaking, one might think people had gathered for an Independence Day celebration. There were smiles and babies and families and goodwill. Now and again I would run into some lone guy responding to a speaker with ‘then we’ll dismantle the government.’ But that guy also got weird looks — and not just from me. I was struck by how few mass-produced signs there were. Many groups might try to take credit for the rally, but concerned Americans are responsible for it.” Lots of pics at the link. And, by way of contrast, here are some photos from that antiwar rally today in DC. Note the Soviet-nostalgia T-shirt. But guess which one the press will cast as “extremist?”

Fox News is about to report these lies. I just e-mailed them and challenged them to provide evidence. If anyone is up e-mail them at Friends@foxnews.com

The press could care less that it is false and that there is proof. They will ignore the videos and stick with their story. Unless we get the video passed around, they will get away with this.

This is SO bogus. Our side has been conspicuously decorous throughout this whole thing. If there was indeed any spitting or epithet hurling I bet the bad guys infiltrated our ranks to serve as agents provocateurs.

I’m going to keep an eye on them today. If I keep hearing this junk I’m going to blast them good with more e-mails and then turn them off. I don’t ever learn anything from them I haven’t already learned more about on FR first.

"Cleaver ran Kansas City into the ground as a corrupt mayor."

Dennis Kucinich was the former Mayor of Cleveland. He is sometimes referred to as 'The Monster who devoured Cleveland'

If you want to be a U.S. Congressman in the Democratic party, first be a Mayor who runs his/or her city in the ground or be an impeached judge like ALCEE Hastings.

Great formula for success!!!

Here’s an article about this I don’t see posted. Mark Williams (http://www.marktalk.com/blog/?p=9173) was hosting the Roger Hedgecock show last night and referred to it and it’s a fair assumption the entire incident was made up.

Cleaver Steadfastly Refuses to Discuss Spitting Incident

[snip]In an interview on Tuesday with FOX 4 News, Rep. Cleaver would not directly answer the question of whether or not he was intentionally spit upon.

“I haven’t talked about this incident on TV or anywhere, and I’ve been approached to talk about it on every national TV show,” said Rep. Cleaver in an interview with FOX 4 News. “I never, I never reported anything, never a single thing in Washington, not one thing. People assume I went somewhere, never done press conference, never done an interview on it and I’m not going to do it.”

Rep. Cleaver’s refusal to discuss the incident has not stopped the speculation, including claims that the incident never happened, or that the story was manufactured to discredit conservatives who demonstrated against health care reform.

Rep. Cleaver says that he wants to put the incident behind him.

“All I’m saying is we all have to defuse it, and I think it is not in my best interest or in the best interest of this nation to stoke it,” said Rep. Cleaver. “I’ve avoided doing and I will continue to do it.”
