The Tea Party Racial Slurs At The CBC… That Weren’t
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.

what do you think?

Liberal Media Bias: MSM Depicts Anti-GovCare Rally as Spitting, Epithet-Spewing Racists…
As this weekend we possibly come to the end of freedom as we know it, the mainstream media has done its job as President Golden Calf and the DemocRATs’ propaganda arm. AP (which should stand for Absolutely Pathetic) especially worked their magic in the…

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.
