Manufactured Outrage of the Day: Left Horrified Over Alleged Gay Slur at DC Rally Savor the irony. For a year now tea party protesters have been called teabaggers, a crude sexual term. Today Barney Frank claims someone in Washington called him a gay slur, although there's no evidence to support his claim. James Clyburn also claims he was called the n-word. Again, there's no evidence to support his assertion. Why don't I believe them? Oh, right, they're Democrats, and they're professional liars. The same claims are made here, again without evidence. Rummaging through the comments I quickly lost count how many times the term "teabagger" was used. Irony escapes them. Seems like some astroturfing to me. Doug Ross points out a past staged outrage at a tea party event it just so happened to be done by SEIU plants. This video from Think Progress is supposed to contain some menacing threats to some black Democrats. Other than protesters say "kill the bill" I don't hear any racial slurs. Without any evidence to support these claims, the leftwing blogs are all freaking out tonight. Then again, when have they ever needed evidence to support their outlandish claims? If there were people there who said some stupid things, then shame on them. I just can't get worked up over this when there is no proof. We do have proof, however, of the CBS White House correspondent calling protesters teabaggers. How professional of him. jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com

Does anyone know anything about this? Yep. It's all lies. Easy to smear them like this. Who has proof one way or the other. Think about it. How stupid would it be of them to engage in this behavior?

It looked like a blatant provocation to me. They walked right through the middle of the crowd inviting them, daring them to do or say something. Nothing happened.

Media Lying About Racist Attacks on Black Reps By Tea Party Protesters… VIDEO PROOF Saturday, March 20, 2010, 11:36 PM Jim Hoft It’s come to this… The state-run media is now pushing their anti-tea party propaganda from sources at the anti-military Jew-hating conservative-hating Huffington Post. And, they’re reporting this propaganda without a single piece of evidence. On Saturday the media reported without a shred of evidence that tea party protesters were shouting obscenities and “n*er” at black Representatives on Capitol Hill. The representatives said it happened as they walked from the Longworth office building to the Rayburn office building. The Huffington Post is concerned that those conservative, church-going, taxpaying tea party protesters are using words like “slaughter” on their signs. This McClatchy News story was one of the top articles on Yahoo on Saturday Night: Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia’s John Lewis Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted “nigger” Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis , a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s. The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus , lawmakers said. “They were shouting, sort of harassing,” Lewis said. “But, it’s okay, I’ve faced this before. It reminded me of the 60s. It was a lot of downright hate and anger and people being downright mean.” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver , D- Mo. , said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard “nigger.” “It was a chorus,” Cleaver said. “In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff – they’re being whipped up. I decided I wouldn’t be angry with any of them.” Protestors also used a slur as they confronted Rep. Barney Frank , D- Mass. , an openly gay member of Congress . A writer for Huffington Post said the crowd called Frank a “faggot.” But, look at this… Here’s video proof that these horrible leftists are liars: No one screamed “ner.” No one screamed “fggot.” No one was spit on. Do you suppose the state-run media will correct their propaganda piece now? Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver says he will not press charges for being spit on. That’s probably a good idea. REMEMBER: These radical liars with stop at nothing to ram their socialist agenda down America’s throat. And, the state-run media will report their racist filth without question.

My guess: it was a sixteen year old kid who grabbed the mike.

"Does anyone know anything about this?" Racism Today By: Jay Nordlinger The Corner A reader sends in an unusual and thought-provoking letter. See what you think: <<< As everyone sweats out the final Obamacare tallies, I’m struck by a couple of other stories. In one case, someone reported hearing an anti-black epithet used at a political rally. In another case, dogged police finally arrested the perpetrator of an intolerable crime. The perp is a 16-year-old kid who made a potentially offensive comment on a Wal-Mart overhead speaker. That these things are even remotely newsworthy leads me to one conclusion: Racism in America is dead. We had slavery, then we had Jim Crow -- and now we have the occasional public utterance of a bad word. Real racism has been reduced to de minimis levels, while charges of racism seem to increase. I’ll vote for the first politician with the brass to say that “racism” should be dropped from our national dialogue. We’re a good nation, among the least racist on earth . . . >>> .
