McClatchy Newspapers - WASHINGTON — Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "n-word" 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

...

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."​

This is so low I might almost believe this is the work of agent provocateurs.

Is this really what things have degenerated into?

Someone also spat on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. At least the spitter was arrested.

How long before we hear the "no True Tea Bagger" argument?

Not quite as bad as the 'Ken ya trust Obama' signs.

It's extraordinary this movement has picked up the support of prominent Republicans such as Sarah Palin. If there was an equivalent extreme left-wing movement that attracted prominent Democrats, how would Fox and co react?

You remember the big anti-war protests in NYC and such in 04-05?

I wonder how Lipton reacts to this? (Lipton is a tea maker)

I thought Americans didn't even like tea?

I am still trying to figure out the use of the word "decends" (sic) in the OP. How tens of thousands of extremist have been able to garner some much coverage in the libural media is beyond me.

I predict that some of the "No true teabagger" arguments will come from some of the usual suspects that connected every anti-war protester to ANSWER.

So when are you guys going to accept responsibility for the 9/11 truthers?

 

[Thunder]

Israel saw such attitudes and signs.....just before Rabin was assassinated. I hope the Secret Service is watching these folks.

When I see mainstream Democratic politicians bowing down to 9/11 truthers as Republican politicians do with the teabaggers.

Exactly.

Did Edwards speak at a 9/11 convention after he and Kerry lost their run for the White House?

You mean like International ANSWER?

PS, Love the comments off the link - IT's Liberal Commies who infeltrated our "pure" movement who are to blame.

Save your victory dance. I hold the tea partiers responsible for the racists and jackasses in their midst just as I hold the anti-war activists responsible for the takeover of their movement by Communists.

From the original post.

"A writer for Huffington Post said the crowd called Frank a 'faggot.'"

"Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "n-word" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis"

What is this double standard, why do they use the childish n-word instead of ****** when they use faggot in the same article?

And why does JREF blank ****** but not faggot? Why do you hate homosexuals?
