This kind of rally has got to backfire on the right. Sensible thinking Americans need to speak out against this fuckin shit. I pray the rethugs suffer greatly from this because the people are so sick of this kind of idiocy!
Come on my pretties, defend this!!!
Today’s Code Red rally appears to be one of the most raucous Tea Party gatherings on Capitol Hill yet. In addition to protesters shouting with rage at federal lawmakers, Sam Stein reports on some more disturbing incidents:
A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-M.D.) had been spit on by a protester. Rep. John Lewis (D-G.A.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a nigger. And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a “faggot,” as protesters 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.]
Oh, but you say "we aren't racist", "we aren't bigots", "These people don't represent the Teabaggers"!
The hell they don't!! Free speech in this country has gone berserk, this is violence and it is being condoned! I will not give those fuckers the satisfaction of posting their ugly faces or their racist signs. I hope no other liberal blogs will either. Go to hell you hideous teabaggers!
