The Race Card Canard
The Washington Times ^ | March 23, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 03/22/2010 4:39:01 PM PDT by Abakumov

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....

We can bet they plan for it. They do this again and again. They are desperate and we are even gaining the attention of many African Americans and Hispanics who have previously voted Democrat.

They will lie and lie and lie again. That is Marxism — deceit. That is their “native language” in that Satanic ideology.

I think the knee grow allusion is just about worn out.

Love and compassion is not bound by skin color, nor is tyranny.

I don’t give a shite what color a politician’s skin is. It he is a nationalist socialist tyrant, then the race card is not even a subliminal defence IMHO.

This includes Fox News.

Did anyone see the report of what the pro-obamacare folks did to the Dick Cheney effigy?

No. Can you direct me to the story? Thanks in advance.

This AH Steele is living proof the GOP is being, has been infiltrated as I have been posting for years by the Leftists. RINO’s are agents of the Left “H” bent upon taking over the Republican Party as they did the Democrat Party.

This is why I keep insisting the RINO’s are extremely important to be rid of in the upcoming election along with all incumbent Democrats.

The Socialist/Democrats, and their RINO associates must fail.

It was the Washington Post that reported this lie as fact....as well as CNN,MSNBC, the New York times and all of the usual suspects.

I would like to encourage everyone to write the Washington TIMES at the comments link to this thread and thank them for printing this editorial. We all need to take the time to thank any media that reports the truth in this country or at least questions the Obama media’s reporting.

If I understand this right, the rep. carson reported this to a washington reporter. Though it never happened. The fact is he seems to have made an issue where there wasn’t one, I for one will call people out for using the race card or creating a situation.

I’m so sick of them keeping the issue alive...they create racism when they do this. But thank you for the heads up. One of those great things about the people here on FR. :)

Tell Steele to call me. I have plenty of slurs for this self-inflating Affirmative Action Anus.

Had the family that owned his family known this guy was going to be such a worthless jerk, they would have picked their own damned cotton.

Some people just need to be victims. If there’s no racism around them they have to make it up. Makes them feel like poor pitiful victims. Very sad, very sick.

Imported SEIU goons have been known to act as agents provacateurs on special occasions!

That's why people have got to find out who did things. If someone makes foul comments, people have to follow them, find out who they are, take down their license plate number. Chances are you will find out they ARE SEIU people.

This crap might have worked before but now everyone has a cell phone camera.

FYI...Carson is one of two Black muslims in the House. Islam has the concept of Taqiya...which permits open deception and lies in furtherance of Islam. It is TAUGHT in the Koran and Hadith. So he is well versed in its practice.

What does he want, my oldest son?

Quite frankly, what black radicals want is to punish you for the past. They want to enslave (real old-world slavery) you because they think it will somehow "balance the books" for people who have been dead for over 100 years, and the 90 years of Jim Crow that followed. They're blinded by hatred and they will never be satisfied.
