Nice find Sanrene. I believe you were pretty much vilified when this first came out because you stated you wanted to see some, any evidence before passing judgement.
I wonder how many of those posters will now return to say 'hey, maybe it's not what it was reported'.
Cherry picking people out of a crowd and cutting film to support your position is not ample evidence, its called propaganda. Are there uninformed people out there? Absolutely, on ALL sides and they make easy targets for nifty little videos, but that is about it.
To claim it is conclusive of the position of the movement is ignorant and uninformed in itself.

Clearly, this is the incident the congressman was talking about. Did you watch the video? Did you see him walk right in front of a protester who was shouting "kill the bill"? Did you see him turn and say something to the protester? Did you see him wipe his face while going up the stairs? Did you see him come back with another policeman a bit later and try to identify the person who "spat" on him, even though he had a policewoman right there with him the whole time who obviously did see anything of the sort?
Can you admit that the incident did not go down as the media portrayed it?
Difficult to know if it was intended or not since the teabagger is covering his mouth. Most probably he was just screaming like the nutcase he is, and a little saliva came out of his mouth.
I was talking to my daughter this morning about my mom..I was getting upset and talking loud, my daughter asked me to stop spitting at her......that happens sometimes when you are upset and talking loud. I watched the video and what I saw was a very upset older man. If there was spitting it was an accident.
I notice the teabagger sympathizers are predictably ignoring this. That spitting teabagger should be arrested and put in jail for assault.
They have an answer for everything.
Video? Must be a "liberal plant."
Damning article? "Liberal media."
Etc. etc.
