What shameful men these Congressmen are. They felt perfectly safe with this conservative crowd. They know perfectly well that these are good people.
I can think of nothing more Un-American than using lies about racism in an attempt to shut down Americans rights to be heard and right to address Congress.
To use this type of ploy shows just how desperate the unhinged left has become.
The thing to do is to sue this Douglas maggot, and Cleaver too for libel. Get them to retract and apologize. Dissent is good.
Minority Leader John Boehner should have kept his mouth closed until an investigation into the alleged “slur” was conducted. His public statement only served to heighten the false allegation.
That's right, nothing. This is just an effort to smear and distract like always by power-hungry, human-rights denying Leftists.
“allowed saliva to hit my face.”
Not at all the same thing as deliberate spitting. What a disgraceful person.
Somebody is making a false statement.
Government employees get fired for that.
That’s why they should be made to pay in court. The MSM is at war with America. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with their libels, slanders and smears. We will get more points by being tough about that than by playing patty cake with these Fascists and Communists.
Indeed! Now what if it was the opposite and some conservative politicians were walking through a throng of leftist and union thugs??? What would happen to them?
Probably hears it everyday when he wakes up and looks in the mirror.
They have prescription medicine for schizophrenia these days, he should see a head shrinker.
Minority Leader John Boehner needs to retire. He has no fire in the belly. Minority Leader John Boehner needs to have an epiphany or say good bye. I can’t see him leading a majority in the House IMHO.
The best summary of this disgraceful story I’ve seen.
I agree, Republicans in general should demand proof of wrongdoing before making public statements denouncing it.
You’d think they’da figured that out by now. This Dem trick isn’t a new one, they’ve been using it forever.
we were in DC that weekend. Spoke with a fellow protester on Sunday. She said she was right in the group surrounding Lewis and heard nothing like ‘nigger’. Was a bunch of madeup garbage.
Good investigative jounalism by this reporter!
This is just another example of the Republicans lack of integrity, character, and courage. I can only assume that Boehner reacted out of fear more than outrage because he knows better. He may have been sucking up, or perhaps he’s trying to cover his tail after the vote on this healthcare bill.
Whatever the case may be, he was played like a fiddle.
This epitomizes the problem with the Washington GOP. They're always willing to throw someone under the bus, always on defense, always backing up. They acted exactly the same way when they had control of both houses.
It's way past time for conservatives to say, "ENOUGH. You're not going to use crap like this to bully us into silence again." WAY past time. This kind of crap is EXACTLY how the left managed to pull off a successful 40-year coup.

Keep those video cameras rolling at Tea Party events. It’s great to have demonstrable PROOF that accusations like these are bogus!
