WASHINGTON — Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "******" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.
Protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, spat on at least one black lawmaker and confronted an openly gay congressman with taunts.
I'm not surprised either.. I heard gay slurs at the rally here in boise last summer... and how gays are to blame for issues in society and why people don't seek out god...
The people who shouted the n-word were not representative of the protesters, but rather a couple of jerk-offs whose behavior was reprehensible. End of story.
It's the same types who attended McCain/Palin rallies and yelled "Terrorist!" and "Kill him!" when Obama's name was mentioned. And now, just like then, the Republican Party does little or nothing to distance themselves from those lunatics.
The behavior of a handful of idiots translates into the entire crowd being the same.
I gather then, that 16 reported murders out of 250,000 people in Mobile Alabama means we should assume the population of Mobile is comprised of nothing but killers.
In the next days and weeks you'll see conservatives in the Tea Party movement do what liberals never do. We will condemn this behavior and do everything legally possible to exclude those who engage in this sort of behavior from future Tea Party events, and we certainly won't make excuses for intolerant bigots the way the left does.
