He is an alarmist black victim like all the others. I already proved it by including completely unhinged and unsupported quotes that he made about John McCain. Cry racism where none exists and fewer people will listen to your rants when real racism occurs. He does more damage than good.

The only ones who were yelling epithets at Lewis and spitting on Emanuel Cleaver were right wingers. Deal with it.
I'll deal with it when I see it. These guys will use race anytime it suits their purpose.

What is significant? Do you have numbers or proof?
Of course you don't. Your just parroting what you hear on msnbc.

So because its not on tape means it wasn't said??

Even the Republicans and Fox admit it was said and said this type of stuff is disgusting.

Prove it happened.

Cleaver's pulled this kind of cr*p before and refused to press charges just to find out later that what he claimed never happened.

Actually they have seem to try and hide this on air, though it was in several Fox News Articles.

The fact the far right loonies won't condemn this and want to pretend someone as much of a hero as Lewis is lying about this even when members of their own Party and tea party movement have even condemned what was said is just reprehensible.

I don't have to. Cleaver has pulled this race-baiting stuff before. His history makes this suspect without concrete proof. That is the problem with crying wolf.

Shake not the head, Feet, or Legs roll not the Eyes lift not one eyebrow higher than the other wry not the mouth, and bedew no mans face with your Spittle, by approaching too near him when you Speak.
