Some of these tea party protesters are a real creeps. I bet Clyburn thought that he was transported back to 1960 during the civil rights marches, etc. It's too bad that these backwater hillbillies want America to go back to the "good ole days" of lynchings, religious discrimination, racial discrimination, gender discrimination, etc. Frankly, America has been too easy on these haters. This is not what America is about. Their leaders (Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, et al) have been pushing the line for a long time now and apparently their devotees think that they can get away with anything at this point in our history, even threatening the lives of others if things don't go their way.
I can't imagine this cr*p occurring during the Bush/Cheney administration. They would have had the National Guard out in full force and they would have been tear gassing everyone, beating them with a hose, etc. They would have used the Patriot Act provisions and hauled them away as "terrorists" that can be held indefinitely without cause. Amazing what this country has come to.
And to the people that claim that this whole story and pictures have been made up and that Huffington Post is not a "reliable source", you are as stupid as the tea protesters are. You would rather bury your head in the sand than see that these people are stirring up the worst element in America. Apparently, you must be okay with their ideology or otherwise you would not be hiding your head in the sand.
I'm going to assume that it's a bunch of made up nonsense until a credible news source reports it. The Huffington Post hardly qualifies as a legitimate news organization.

Yes, Rep Lewis and Barney Frank who were verbally attacked are lying about the entire incident.
I mean look at the crowd. Clearly a low IQ trailer park right-wing crowd. And you're questioning the truth of this entire incident...all while you see visible signs of teabaggers promoting violence against congress? LOL. What a tame group of people.
Liberals infiltrated the rally, plain and simple to make them look bad .
That old hoarse Frank has said worse about others . Far as the race hustler who has made lots of money off the suffering of ' civil rights' he has probabbly said the same thing in private . Not agreeing with what the liberals called them, just saying .

First off, the sources were the congressmen themselves.
Here's a story covering the same incidents in from the Washington Post:
I don't understand the line on the sign about "browning". Perhaps it's just some strange phraseology from an illiterate wacko.
Browning = machine gun.
