The most despicable smear to come out of weekend rallies in Washington were unsubstantiated charges that Obamacare protesters shouted racial slurs at black members of Congress walking from the Cannon House Office Building to the Capitol. No evidence backs this up.
This story was first peddled by Rep. Andre Carson, Indiana Democrat, who seemed "almost giddy" telling the tale to the press, according to a Washington Times reporter who was there. Many news organizations reported these charges uncritically even though the people making the claims were the primary political beneficiaries of the tales.
No such epithets can be heard on video posted by Kerry Picket on The Washington Times Water Cooler Blog, which shows the representatives in question during their walk....

He told the LIE the MSM wanted to hear and now the facts don’t matter.
Liberals school of Alinsky plants liberals at conservative functions to insight radicalism if there is any racial overtness or homophobia displayed during rallies involving Conservatives you can bet money its liberals doing it.
Liberals using the race charge to shut down political dissent that in itself is more dispicable and more anti-American then any racist could be.
Ironically, the overriding agenda of the Ubanga administration is reparations, through the back door.
they never have truth on their side so they have to lie....thats what they do for a living.
Ya know.........one side of me thinks this: To hell with ‘em. They’re going to say this s**t anyway, so unload. Just go for it.....say ANYTHING you wish to this scum. Go ahead and let it ALL fly.
Truth no longer matters, so we may as well start playing by the new rules on the table.
I heard they called Barney Franks a Homo.
I guess Mr. Carson would have a pretty good idea as to how to discredit a large group of people.
Well if the tutu fits.........
They called him the “banking queen” (remember that parody song that Rush played about him last summer?).
Imported SEIU goons have been known to act as agents provacateurs on special occasions!
And as I said earlier, we pay these clowns, if they cannot take a few verbal taunts, they can quit.
“unsubstantiated charges that Obamacare protesters shouted racial slurs”
Yet the rino-king Steele was on Shep Smith saying they did happen and was apologizing for such behavior. What an arse.
Franks is a homosexual. What’s the problem?
Steele really said this on FoxNews?
REALLY? Please tell me no...
Who is Steele to apologize for anything that patriots do?
The people there were there on behalf of all of us, not the GOP.
Michael Steele needs to go—he is such a tool.
O’Reilly is discussing this story right now on Fox. Let’s see if he accepts the Carson/MSM story uncritically.
Did anyone see the report of what the pro-obamacare folks did to the Dick Cheney effigy?
Yes he did. In addition he said the GOP should not alienate people in the immigration debate but should welcome new arrivals.
sigh...
What does he want, my oldest son?
