Really? After 8 years of Leftists harassing Karl Rove at his home, George Bush at his ranch, Don Rumsfield at his home? And lest we forget, Leftist Community Organizers harassed/extorted numerous bank presidents into giving low income customers mortgages they couldn't afford, and ultimately would not pay (anyone heard of the mortgage crisis?) oftentimes busing protesters to the bank presidents homes, and even to their CHILDREN S SCHOOLS, we have to be the ones who sit on our hands, and just smile and eat this crap sandwich? Good luck with that.....

I like how the WSJ reported the incident between members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Tea Party protesters accurate: "Several Democratic Congressmen say that protesters outside the Capitol last weekend yelled racial slurs at them." [Emphasis mine] That's better than what the rest of the MSM has done, which has taken the claim of a racial incident and reported it back as fact.

Andrew Breitbart has offered to donate $10,000 of his own money to the United Negro College Fund if any members of the Congressional Black Caucus can produce evidence the racial slur was shouted at them 15 times. That's the claim, by the way — 15 shouts of "nigger" at members of Congress ... with cameras everywhere (including those held aloft by the entourage itself) and there is not a shred of documented evidence?

As Breitbart notes, even if the word was shouted (too low for cameras to pick up, alas, but loud enough for the members of Congress to hear) wouldn't a few heads have turned toward the sound? From both the members of Congress and the crowd? Nothing like that appears to have occurred. Also, the "spitting" incident seems to be nothing more than a fellow yelling and letting the spittle fly — which is not the same as "spitting" at a Congressman.

I think it's more likely than not that the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are lying about this "racial" incident. And if someone did shout such things at those members, it would be vital to discern if he's actually a Tea Party sympathizer, or a leftist plant attending the event to make the movement look bad (would hardly be the first time this Alinskyite tactic has been used the past 12 months). Asking these questions does not mean one takes charges of racism less seriously. Indeed, it's because they are serious these questions must be asked.

And I think the WSJ Editorial Page has it right: "Their purpose is to divert attention from the abuse of process, bribes and intimidation through which they imposed ObamaCare."

They ain't distracting me.

I think that members of the Congressional Black Caucus allegedly using this incident to create political theater (i.e. lying about being yelled at) is rather minor compared to the actual crimes - you know, those things that are actually endangering people's lives - being committed in protest of this law.

So ... complaining about what I think the CBC is up to (basically the political equivalent of the Duke Rape Case) is no big deal because of other stuff going on? Sorry. I can consider these two issues separately — because they are separate.

Racism is a big deal in America. So crying "wolf" on race is pretty egregious — especially when the lie is committed in an attempt to malign an entire point of view; i.e. legitimate dissent.

Nice take by the good professor. She's invested in this, because her husband took a bus to Washington, was at the rally, and is appalled that he would be smeared as a racist for simply participating in some good old American protesting. (It's in the Constitution, folks.) He also said he heard no disparaging remarks, other than "Kill the Bill!" and some boos.

Grow up, congresspeople.

Nice work twisting my point of how the Liberal Left and their Lap Dogs in the LameStream media get the vapors and retire to their fainting couches when alleged instances of Conservative misbehavior occur, as opposed to their reflexive burying of the very real incidences of Leftist violence, minimizing them and making sure they are not blamed on the Democrat party, while keeping them from being widely reported.

In no way did I imply that I approve of violence in response to the collective "fuck you" Democrats gave the majority of Americans who opposed this monstrous health care "reform". It's also instructive how none of the examples I gave were addressed.

How about the New Black Panthers that showed up at the polling place last November, dressed in black, carrying collapsible police batons, and were quoted as telling people as they came to vote "you're gonna be ruled by the black man now, cracker". Affidavits were obtained, charges were filed, and a default judgment of voter intimidation was entered. That is until Obama and his Attorney General showed up, and overruled career lawyers in the Justice Department, and dropped the charges. They have also refused any efforts to get the DOJ to explain the reversal.

Or how about he Washington Post columnist Courtland Milloy who wrote in reference to the Tea Party protestors, I would like to "knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads." Speaking of inciting violence, one Barry Obama was quoted as telling a group of bankers “my administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.” During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama didn’t shy away from confrontation. In fact, he encouraged it by telling supporters to “argue with” opponents and to “get in their face[s].”

The Obama Administration’s confrontational tone included some violent imagery last August, when one White House official encouraged Obama supporters to “punch back twice as hard” against opponents. At an anti-ObamaCare rally in St. Louis, a black man named Kenneth Gladney was handing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when he was approached by pro-ObamaCare SEIU union members. One of the men asked Gladney, “What kind of n*%%er are you to be giving out this kind of stuff?” The union thugs then beat him so badly he required overnight hospitalization. The attack was videotaped, and the perpetrators arrested, and will be on trial soon. I must have missed when Obama condemned it, or when the LameStream media castigated Obama for inciting such behavior. Obama’s supporters got the message. They were getting in people’s faces, and they were punching. And kicking. Repeatedly.

The moral of the story is, when violence occurs on the fringes of Conservative movements, it's always their fault. When violence occurs in the course of Leftist protests, it's "speaking truth to power". Keep it up guys, it just makes the Tea Party grow, and grow....

Forgot to include the incident of the victory dinner attended by major Clinton backers, "No, the definitive Rahm Emanuel story takes place in Little Rock, Ark., in the heady days after Bill Clinton was first elected President.

It was there that Emanuel, then Clinton's chief fund-raiser, repaired with George Stephanopoulos, Mandy Grunwald and other aides to Doe's, the campaign hangout. Revenge was heavy in the air as the group discussed the enemies - Democrats, Republicans, members of the press - who wronged them during the 1992 campaign. Clifford Jackson, the ex-friend of the President and peddler of the Clinton draft-dodging stories, was high on the list. So was William Donald Schaefer, then the Governor of Maryland and a Democrat who endorsed George Bush. Nathan Landow, the fund-raiser who backed the candidacy of Paul Tsongas, made it, too.

Suddenly Emanuel grabbed his steak knife and, as those who were there remember it, shouted out the name of another enemy, lifted the knife, then brought it down with full force into the table.

''Dead!'' he screamed.

The group immediately joined in the cathartic release: ''Nat Landow! Dead! Cliff Jackson! Dead! Bill Schaefer! Dead!''
