Don't hold your breath!!

These people were present from the start and the Tea Partiers had no qualms about their behavior, they used excuse after excuse and lie after lie about how "those People" were not representative of their ideas.

At the same time shouting, "Muslim","Kenyan", and showing the President as an African witch doctor with a bone trough the nose sitting in the dirt!!

There was always room to instill doubt as to whether these signs were passively racial or signs used to compare his position on political issues, no one ever took the responsibility to say maybe we should be a little more mindful of the clearly racist connotations many of us present that seem not to be about the issues.

You have people on this board defending the use of these epithats because of the "raping" of the country, how simply transparent is that, as an excuse to spit on people and call them ni@@ers and fa@@ots!!

Now that health care is down to the wire these people are just letting it all hang out!!

Personally, I hope that these Tea Party clowns keep talking so they can expose themselves for what they really stand for.

The racial slurs and anti-gay epithets are only the tip of the iceberg with these folks and I am quite certain that if the Tea Party members names were cross-referenced with White Supremacist organizations, Off-the-Grid Survivalists, Oath Keepers, militia groups and the like - many names would pop out with associations with these groups.

I appreciate momonkey trying to weed these people out. However, I do not believe that "plants" are a huge problem. I think the vast majority of misbehavers at this rally are "Republicans behaving badly".

First of all, racial slurs or anti-gay bigotry has no place in the discourse and should be condemned by everyone.
That being said, Congressman John Lewis is a destructive race baiter who would see racism on the surface of the moon. He attacked the entire McCain/Palin campaign for racism back in October of 2008, comparing McCain to George Wallace saying:

"Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on a Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."

Why would John Lewis stop this type of shameless finger pointing now?

One thing for sure liberals and democrats have been caught in one lie after the other in start trouble. I but these claims are total lies. We have seen and heard much worse from the left and gays in their protest.

Well, we really don't know do we?

As we saw this summer at the townhall meetings, Democrats have no issues with using fake doctors and fake kids, so why not fake Tea Party protesters? We have no way of screening people and have no idea who they really are.

Nobody yelled kill him. I have watched that video a dozen times. The shout is not clear, and because some liberal idiot decided it said kill him, they forwarded that lie and it spread like wildfire through the liberal media, the same rate most lies spread with liberals.

How many people called Bush a terrorist? He was called a terrorist on this board dozens upon dozens of times by rabid liberals. But I'm sure somehow its "different".

Fox News reported it happened, Republican National Chairman Michael Steele said it happened, Amy Kremer, the grassroots coordinator of the Tea Party Express said it happened. I guess they are all lying, and only the posters here on CD know the truth.

They were all just taking the word of those guys. No one has provided proof it happend and no one has provided proof if someone did do it, that they were tea protesters or liberal plants.

The tea people are just awful people. I hope many get locked up for assaulting people.

Does anyone care how we are seen globally? Mad Americans
