Washington Times reporting via AP about lawmakers badgered by racial epithets by teaparters on the Hill yesterday, the day before the government takeover of healthcare.
House Democrats heard it all Saturday — words of inspiration from President Barack Obama and raucous chants of protests from demonstrators. And at times it was flat-out ugly, including some racial epithets aimed at black members of Congress.
A nice juxtapostion of the Holy One v. your typical, white teapartier in the AP’s opener paragraph.
One would think the crowds were entirely made up of people just like Obama’s Grandma.
Plainly, this is meant to discredit and characterize healthcare opposition as racist, as though "most of the day’s important work leading up to Sunday’s historic vote on health care was being done behind closed doors" (2nd paragraph) to expressly avoid dangerous, spitting, "anger-fueled demonstrators" who chant the n-word while lynching an Obama effigy to dictums of "KILL the bill."
At a time when we’re so obviously still racist, I’ve wondered where Tipper and her dem crew have been on the use of N.I.G.G.E.R. in rap songs for the past year. Al Gore’s time would have been better spent in support of his wife’s old cause than chasing the ghosts of global warming. Protect the first black President voted into office by a blind America, after all.
Tom Hanks, the great race scholar can help them.
Obama isn’t the only black person in America and blacks are still using it on their own "people" since he got elected.
Address the use of the "n-word" among blacks, address the anger of the American public against government take over of healthcare. read more »
