Ed Tea Party protest descends into madness, racism....

I kinda wish this thread would die so my typo in the title would stop being so prominent.

Typo? What typo?

Some tea baggers could consider themselves Democrats. but the Democratic party has yet to pander to or embrace this mob.

I don't know. It sounds like he's got some interesting ideas about what a random distribution should look like.

Maybe you already know this, but not every random distribution fits into a bell curve.

What's he's talking about is the equivalent of rolling a 10 sided die. Picture what the outcome of a series of fair rolls would look like.

And just for you folks:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...tial/Tea-partiers-outpoll-Obama-89914277.html

66% are conservatives. 8% are liberal.

 

[ZirconBlue]

Wait... does the owner of that vehicle think there is a Constitutional right to wear t-shirts and sleeveless tops?

66% are conservatives. 8% are liberal.

Correction: 8% don't know what "liberal" means.

 

[Accidental Martyr]

Correction: 8% don't know what "liberal" means.

Any true "liberal" would have nothing to do with this ridiculous "group".

 

[BeAChooser]

Correction: 8% don't know what "liberal" means.

Frankly, I don't think you folks do, anymore.

 

[Drysdale]

Has any tape of this alleged slur ever surfaced?

The national breakdown of the Tea Party composition is 57 percent Republican, 28 percent Independent and 13 percent Democratic, according to three national polls by the Winston Group, a Republican-leaning firm that conducted the surveys on behalf of an education advocacy group. Two-thirds of the group call themselves conservative, 26 are moderate and 8 percent say they are liberal.

Costa Rican "Tres Rios," please!

"Either" democrats or independents. Nice way to slime democrats by having a category would include almost no democrats, but could be made to look as though it had many...

About what I expect from Republican Trash any more...

According to a recent poll, 100% of Republicans are either rabidly racist Nazis, or not. Makes you think, doesn´t it?

I hear that they either all bugger little boys, or they don't.

Oh wait, was that Catholic Priests?

Saw this on Yahoo.

It's a hit piece with no substance pretty much.
It's on the Tea partiers to prove it did'nt happen?
Is'nt that the proverbial proving a negative?

I'll ask again.
Did any video ever turn up showing the alleged slurs?

 

[Drysdale]

On a side note.

Why were they walking through the protesters anyway?

Is'nt there other forms of access?

On further introspection and this... http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172827

Maybe they knew there was a plant there and wanted to catch it on tape?

But the one video that they say proved it didn't happen turns out was fake.

What does the video show? Not much. Indeed, new interviews show that a much-viewed YouTube recording cited as evidence by conservatives was actually shot well after the time in question.

No, the video (actually videos) are real enough. Now if the Black Caucus congresscritters want to claim that the incident occurred at another moment in their provocative walk of shame than when those videos were shot, then fine. But when exactly? Afterall, we want those who were present to be able to go check their videos and get that $100,000 reward sent to that black education fund, if they find a racial slur being uttered. Right?

Indeed, new interviews show that a much-viewed YouTube recording cited as evidence by conservatives was actually shot well after the time in question.

Why don't the congresscritters post the video they themselves were shooting at that moment. They clearly were shooting video so let's see (and hear) it. Because unless they do that, it's hard to take what they say at face value. Afterall, these congresscritters have a history of lying and race baiting. Even the Huffington Post (a very liberal source) identified one of them as a long standing race-baiter at one point during the presidential campaign. So I'm not sure we can just *trust* their claims. Not when not another witness from that day has come forward to corroborate their claim. Why even Emanuel Cleaver, walking with the group, has said he didn't hear these slurs that were supposedly shouted out, not once but fifteen times. Shouted, mind you, not whispered.
