Because there is video of him walking into the crowd and no one can be heard shouting the N word at him repeatedly like he says.


Please watch the video and point out the time on the video where people are shouting the n word at him

I posted the video of him walking when he said it happened and you cant hear anyone shouting the n word at him repeatedly like he said happened.

Did you miss opening the link to see the actual video him walking and no shouting of the n word? A protester just happened to be recording him walking in. Guess he didnt consider that would be happening when he accused the people of shouting the n word at him. They are shouting kill the bill though

Please watch the video of him walking in and tell me when you hear anyone shouting the N word at him repeatedly
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people. It was a long walk. You can hear very few actual statements plus a bunch of inaudible ones. Plus you can SEE PEOPLE YELLING BUT CAN'T HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

Take the guy in the cowboy hat @ 0:28. What did he yell? Or green shirt lady @ 0:34? Or lady with American flag on her shirt @ 0:40-0:43? I see their mouths moving. What are they saying? What about, I don't know, the few hundred people on the other sides of the street. What are they yelling? I mean there's a video of them, uh, "proof" of what they are saying right?

Can someone please point to the time on the tape that someone called him the N word?
maybe it was not caught on tape... but there is a obvious race issue in some circles in tea party.
To be fair there are black members of the tea party, and racism may be "just" 5-10%. But it's definately there just by looking at the signs, and some flags.

Why not just acknowledge that racist element exists within the Tea Party movement and advocate for a less divisive tone to their rhetoric.


Hearsay Your Honor!

Someone told me there are sharks in the ocean.

I went to the beach and saw no sharks there.

Therefore, there are no sharks in the ocean. That person that told me there are sharks is a liar.

A 60 second video is supposed to dispel the racist element of the tea party? Give me a break.

So you think he heard 1 voice over the thousands booing him and yelling kill the bill. He heard 1 single voice shouting the N word not just once but repeatedly but we cant hear it on the video. Ok
So you cant point to the exact time someone yelled the n repeatedly but we should assume even though you cant that it happened

No it should show the time in which one of them repeatedly called him the n word since he said it happened when he was walking in.

So you think minorities are attending tea parties that are racist against them?

Why is the right so obsessed with trying to prove there is no racism polluting their party? You know the truth.
