With bringing weapons to the rallies. Terrorizing an old man in his 70's with Parkinson Disease. Plus spitting, shoving and call our black congressman the "N" word.
Tell the Unknown Zone what you think. Are you for or against the Teabag Party.
I'm against racists. I don't care where they are from. I don't care what group they belong to. Racist people suck!
Andrew Breitbart, on his Big Government web site, (http://biggovernment.com/abreitbart/2010/03/25/2010-a-race-odyssey-disproving-a-negative-for-cash-prizes-or-how-the-civil-rights-movement-jumped-the-shark/) is offering $10,000 for proof that U.S. Rep. John Lewis was assaulted with the n-word last Saturday in the run-up to the vote on health care.
This is the same web site that first put up the footage of ACORN staffers in Baltimore, giving advice on how to avoid paying taxes on cash acquired through prostitution.
By way of backbround: Last Saturday, as they went to the U.S. Capitol to hear a final speech on health care, Lewis and other African-American congressmen passed by a crowd of mostly white tea party protestors.
Here's the Insider post that ran (http://blogs.ajc.com/political-insider-jim-galloway/2010/03/21/john-lewis-hit-with-the-n-word-by-tea-party-demonstrators/). This from a Detroit news outlet: (http://wchbnewsdetroit.com/detroit/angelohenderson/rep-andre-carson-and-rep-john-lewis-called-the-n-word-15-times-rep-emanuel-cleaver-was-spat-on-by-anti-health-care-reform-protestor-what-does-these-times-remind-you-of/)
Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told a reporter that as he left the Cannon House Office Building with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a leader of the civil rights era, some among the crowd chanted "the N-word, the N-word, 15 times." Both Carson and Lewis are black, and Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones also said that it occurred.
"It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis," said Carson, a large former police officer who said he wasn't frightened but worried about the 70-year-old Lewis, who is twice his age. "He said it reminded him of another time."
Brenda Jones, spokeswoman for Lewis, confirmed the incident. Breitbart accuses Lewis and the other members of Congress of goading the crowd: On Saturday, during the peaceful and patriotic tea party protest at the Capitol, the Democrats staged a series of symbolic acts meant to manipulate the media to do its bidding. The Congressional Black Caucus pulled the Selma card and chose to walk through the crowd in the hopes of creating a YouTube incident. There is no reason in 21st century America on an issue that is not a black or white or a civil rights issue to have a bloc of black people walk slowly through a mostly white crowd to make a racial point. The walk in and of itself — with two of the participants holding their handheld cameras above their heads hoping to document "proof" — was an act of racism meant to create a contrast between the tea party crowd and themselves....It's time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.....Rep. Lewis, if you can't do that, I'll give him a backup plan: a lie detector test. If you provide verifiable video evidence showing that a single racist epithet was hurled as you walked among the tea partiers, or you pass a simple lie detector test, I will provide a $10K check to the United Negro College Fund.
I have no doubt that some of the Teabaggers are racist. Just this last winter on my way down to French Lick Casino, I stopped at a military surplus store on state road 37, to get an Army tee shirt and some military brass.
There were several southern Indiana good old boys talking about the Teaparty. The son of the owner, called Obama a uppity Nword. I said, I'm a Democart and I think he's going a fine job especially after George W.. It tickled me when the owner kicked his son under the counter and said under his breath, "shut up" I didn't hear :wink: :smile: another thing about Obama while I was there. :biggrin: :biggrin:
There's no racist in the Teabagging Party? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The Troll :wink: :smile:
again, I never SAID there was NO raciest in the Tea Party..........I'm certain there is, but for the vast majority of them, race is NOT the issue........there are raciests in every party.....the far right does not equate to racism what-so-ever....
I've seen the teabagger party.
I wouldn't consider any of them mildly foxy, much less "racy."
