Excellent post!

Liberals can always count on taking advantage of our essential decency.

While they routinely call us every awful name they can imagine, we dutifully turn the other cheek, and no one else holds them to account. When anyone among us thoughtlessly or in anger uses a pejorative against them, they go into instant paroxysms of outrage, all the while knowing we will quickly apologize - even if it never happened.

Evil uses goodness against itself and always has.

What a bunch of weenies! Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me! Get over it dumacrats!

Did anybody record the evidence? If Repubs “F” this up I’m done with them forever and our Nation is Socialist.

[Force of Truth]

What is racist are the liberal policies that continue to reward bad behavior in minorities, that keep minorities dependent on the rich white racist and uncle Tom Democrats while feeding them the lie that it’s all whitey’s fault.

When the excrement hits the fan you can count on the R’s to try to quell things down... With legitimacy a new REVOLUTION has begun, a REVOLUTION to uphold the constitution, and the f’ing R’s will say, “now put down your grievances and pitchforks and go home, we’ll take care of it...” and we wind up further down the road to BIG F’ING BROTHER. Obama is all about the Hope of Audacity and the R’s are all about pissing themselves.

You can always count on the Stupid Party to take the bait and carrying the Left's water

Yup. The whole thing was staged.

Just why were a bunch of black Congressmen traipsing through the crowd with the cameras conveniently focused on them?

We all know why.

It's a set from the get, and clueless clowns like Boehner just roll over.

[Regulator]

You got it!!

Guys like John Lewis been doin' the hustle for 50 years now

[Verginius Rufus]

They probably are smart enough to know that the allegations were invented, but they are afraid of being called racists if they doubt the word of a civil rights icon like John Lewis.

The Rats are going back to their playbook from last summer, since the media went along with it then too.

[Marty62]

True, but one quesion to the inquirer would be ...do you have PROOF. May I see the video.

[heye2monn]

Let’s go to the videotape. Where are the slurs? Where is the electronic evidence? Do we have any proof other than the overly sensitive ears of extremely liberal Congressmen? Should the media be playing this up when no other evidence is currently available?

Besides, is some isolated idiot shouting a slur worse than socialized medicine destroying the world’s greatest health care system?

[NaughtiusMaximus]

It’s interesting that behaviors like spitting (on returning soldiers) and cursing (do a little reading on DU) are characteristics of liberal “dialogue” which are now being projected onto conservatives.

It must just suck to be a liberal.

[stevem]

They were probably people sent from ACORN at Obama’s request.

[buschbaby]

Number one, I don't think it happened. Number two, why do our 'leaders' need to apologize? When are Dems ever called on or held to account for lefty protesters who set things on fire and shout dirty, nasty things at everyone? Ggrrrrr we are fighting for our freedom, if you can't take a few dirty words being thrown at you don't vote for this takeover!

They are just pushing this to minimize the effect of the protesters and discredit them.

[orinoco]

A true conservative will say to the media,
If what has been alleged about someone utering a racial slur is true, and we are attempting to verify this by viewing police reports or video, we condemn racial slurs of any kind on the part of the few.
We however, recognize that the overwhelming majority of the 50,000 people who have participated in this rally against socialized healthcare have been courteous and respectful but firm in their commit to defeat this government takeover of Americas healthcare system. As a conservative Republican I agree with the people here at the rally and will vote to kill this monstrosity of a bill.

This will show the public that neither the Republicans nor the vast majority of the protesters favor racial slurs and that this is about healthcare and nothing else.

Michael Steele, the Republican National Committee's first black chairman, agreed that the incidents were "reprehensible," and added, "we do not support that."

He should have added "Do not discount the probability that those involved were not Tea party people at all, but were sent by others to discredit them".

Of course, had he done so, the quote would have ended in the same place everywhere but on FOX.

[LegendHasIt]

"He should have added "Do not discount the probability that those involved were not Tea party people at all, but were sent by others to discredit them"."

I very much fear that Steele hates the 'TEA party' people nearly as much as the leftists do.
