The media is running with the racial template that slurs were delivered to members of the Congressional Black Caucus arriving yesterday on the Hill. One would think if racial slurs were hurled… we could hear them…?
“I said ‘I’m for the bill, I support the bill, I’m voting for the bill’,” U.S. Rep. John Lewis said. A colleague who was accompanying Lewis said people in the crowd responded by saying “Kill the bill, then the n-word.” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver , D- Mo. , said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard “nigger.”
Journalism 1.01: verify.
It’s sad I have to remind the media professionals of the rules and equally sad Tea Party officials issued a premature acknowledgement of this fraud.
We covered that here…

and yes, there was no outrage by the media.
Actually Bob,
I believe I read on Newsbusters that when Prop 8 passed in CA, it was felt in the gay community it was because of the large number of blacks who turned out to vote for Obama also voted for Prop 8. I seem to remember reading the gay community blamed the blacks, including calling them the n word. I don’t remember the press howling about that. Perhaps this is worthy of a media bias piece, compare and contrast.

also, Bob, I have a question about the whole “black caucus” thing. I feel it, other racial “causes”, and NAACP aren’t needed anymore because I feel the modern purpose of them is to keep racial tension and racial lines in places
what do you think?
I heard about this on AOL News last night. REALLY doubt it happened as I’ll be DAMNED if I run into a racist conservative or Republican
also, good to see you again, Ray! sucks that your youtube channel got suspended =(
I agree completely and I also said this was a fraud as it was being reported, and then the tape came out overnight and verified the entire length of the walk and not one epithet….Liars Bob!!!!! http://tinyurl.com/yjwjpay
