ThinkProgress just posted on Youtube the video of Teabaggers attacking Representants Lewis, Carson and Cummings
As reported by other diaries, today Teabaggers Rallies were as always full of rage, hatred and racism:
staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-M.D.) had been spit on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-G.A.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a ‘ni–er.’ And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "f----t," as protestors shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president’s speech, shrugged off the incident.
But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
"I heard people saying things that I have not heard since March 15, 1960 when I was marching to try and get off the back of the bus," [said Clyburn.]
According to TPM, the same group of people surrounded Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) as he entered a first-floor elevator and call Waxman a "crook" and a "liar."
I wonder if calling Waxman "crook" has anything to do with the fact that Waxman is jew ?
I didn't even finis to watch the clip because it makes me sick and angry at the same. How can people be so hateful ?
Jim DeMint called themselves real patriots on his twitter page. Mr DeMint, are they patriots because they uses racial slurs and homophobic slurs against people who disagree with you ?
UPDATE I
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) on the House floor demanding that GOP members who spoke at the teabagger rally condemn the hateful acts today.
UPDATE II
According to scarshapedstar, If you:
Listen closely. It's not the whole crowd but it is the guy in the straw hat. Notice how he cups his hands turns to shout directly at the black man walking in front of him.
After the crowd shouts "kill the bill" he adds "then the n***er". He does it twice, once at 12 seconds, again at 14 seconds. Then he stops because the man he's shouting at is out of earshot. Not that I think he heard him in the first place.
But anyway, here we have video evidence of at least one teabagger shouting racial slurs.
