The tea party crowd have a hard time controlling their hate and racism and it was on display big time today.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.) claimed Saturday that health care protesters at the Capitol directed racial epithets at Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) as he walked outside.
Carson, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus along with Lewis, told The Hill that protesters called Lewis the N-word.
Tea Party protesters held a rally outside the Capitol on Saturday, which included speeches by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and actor Jon Voight, and then proceeded into the halls to lobby members at the 11th hour.
Lewis was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement alongside Martin Luther King. Jr. Asked if racial epithets were yelled at him, Lewis responded, "Yes but it's OK. I've heard this before in the 60s. A lot of this is just downright hate."
Many of these people were hiding in the shadows until FOX News promoted the tea party movement. They aren't just a sliver of the make-up of the crowds. They ARE the crowds. And it's not limited to name-calling either. A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn said that protestors spat on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. HuffPo got a statement from Clyburn:
Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
"It was absolutely shocking to me," Clyburn told the Huffington Post. "Last Monday, this past Monday, I stayed home to meet on the campus of Claflin University where fifty years ago as of last Monday... I led the first demonstrations in South Carolina, the sit ins... And quite frankly I heard some things today I have not heard since that day. 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."
"It doesn't make me nervous as all," the congressman said, when asked how the mob-like atmosphere made him feel. "In fact, as I said to one heckler, I am the hardest person in the world to intimidate, so they better go somewhere else."
Asked if he wanted an apology from the group of Republican lawmakers who had addressed the crowd and, in many ways, played on their worst fears of health care legislation, the Democratic Party, and the president, Clyburn replied:
"A lot of us have been saying for a long time that much of this, much of this is not about health care a all. And I think a lot of those people today demonstrated that this is not about health care... it is about trying to extend a basic fundamental right to people who are less powerful."
And if that's not disgusting enough, Barney Frank was called a "f****t," today too.
Everything you needed to know about this hateful movement is expressed in this one story. It wasn't just one bigot. The entire crowd of teabaggers erupted in laughter. Hell of a movement Dick Armey has created - after all, he called Barney Frank the same thing, "fag," back in the 90s.
Rep. Barney Frank got an uglier version of the treatment. Just after Frank rounded a corner to leave the building, an older protestor yelled "Barney, you f****t." The surrounding crowd of protestors then erupted in laughter.
At one point, Capitol police officer threatened to throw a group of protestors out of the building but that only seemed to inflame them more; and apparently none were ejected.
Meanwhile the gun freak teabaggers are threatening to shoot people if health care is passed.
Tea Party activists have gathered on Capitol Hill today for a “Code Red” rally against health care reform. Speakers at the event included Republican Reps. Steve King (IA), Michele Bachmann (MN), and Mike Pence (IN). The gathering was organized by Tea Party Profiteer organizations like FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity. ThinkProgress attended today’s rally and spotted a sign threatening violence if health care passes. The sign reads: “Warning: If Brown can’t stop it, a Browning can,” referring to Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and a Browning firearm
Just wait. We will see violence like our generation hasn't seen in many a decade. Anyone thinking of joining up with them go right ahead at your own risk. They will never sign on to anything that is remotely liberal. Ever.
UPDATE: Think Progress has video. You can hear the shout towards the middle.

You can blame this on Obama , Emanuel and their centrists group , which has taken over the control of the democrat party...
They show their lack of fight or backbone when they said they were not going to prosecute the crimes of the Bush administration but look forward..... And forward is what we see now in complete disrespect for our laws , constitution , bill of right and terrorist threats to the democrats and their actions..
We know this would not happen in the Bush/Cheney administration because if you even wore a T-shirt with any statement Bush or the republicans dislike your a... was fined , in jail and who know what else...
Obama , Emanuel and the controlling democrats are making a joke of the democrats and anything they do or say..
Why are we electing these a... holes they are not our friends because their policies are not doing a thing to help us but keeping in step with the policies of the Bush/Cheney administration.
This is a class war and we the people are losing our a..es..
We need to forget these two arrogant corporate parties and start our own new independent party.. They are not listening to a word we say or taking any actions to benefit Americans in which they were elected to serve...

their reps. the left is not getting their reps backs if they let 1000 radio stations attack them all day long without picketing those stations. thats why our reps are getting beaten. in a democracy reps shouldn't have to carry guns.
the right are cowards but the left allows them the biggest bullhorn in history to feel like giant warrior chickenhawks and allows them to write their own history and intimidate and enable media without a peep from the left because it gives them a headache to listen to it and music is more fun.
And does that add up to a majority? That's the question.
I know that most of us will hear a lot from people that disagree with the President then those that do not.

I know this isn't going to be a very popular post but I have to ask a question. Ok we all know it is unacceptable to call someone else a name. It definately isn't right to make fun of them. We should love one another for who we are not based on skin color, sexual orientation or anything. But isn't it hypocritical to say it's wrong to call someone as dispicable as the language these people are accused of shouting out by callng them something offensive such as a tea bagger? I find that absolutely unacceptable. Regardless of who these people are they are sick. But aren't you just as sick for using something so many find offensive in your description of who they are?
Because I noticed that right away and I hope most who've read this article realize what you did. How absolutely disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself Mr. John Amato. Seriously is that news reporting or is this in fact your opinion? Becaue I see bias in your reporting.
There is NO doubt a civil war is coming. The Dems are cowards, Obama wants bipartisanship, and Glenn Beck (and Faux News) ramps up the hate.
All I know is, once we do, I'll re-enlist to fight these bastards. This is INSANE. And is ANYONE that can doing anything about it before it all starts? Nope. Not a damned thing. Speaking out hard against this, by real leaders, would have an effect. There are many things that can be done. What are we trying to do, not piss em off?
What we need is a militant left, I sick of these wusses and I am sick and tired of being told about civility. It is to late for that and I am not going to acquiesce and let them have it their way or take whatever they want from me.
and revival of the Black Panthers.

I agree. Civility in face of the above is kinda stupid.

Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
These people have been here all along. They were complacent when the Right was in power. This is not Obama's fault, the very fact that he is in power, a black Democrat, is the trigger for all of this. Most of these people are not CEO's of large corporations, they don't have the real power and they know it. But they've got their piece of the pie and their attitude is screw everybody who doesn't have any leverage in the system at all.
The real evil is capitalism run amok in this country and that is why they are so threatened which is the basis for the hate. They fear the entire equation will be changed if people who have little or no means actually get some basic decent human rights.
The ugliness and hate is coming back. I saw it in the 60's and there will be some bloodshed before people get outraged. During the civil rights violence people saw the violence on the 6 PM news. You have to wonder what happens this time when someone gets killed.

I'm sure Barney has been called a ****** before....most gay people have.
but we tend to have a thick skin about this type of stuff. I bet Barney wasnt even fazed.
If this is all the right wing can come up with, it shows their lack of imagination, and obviously their lack of decency. but we can all agree decency has never been the right wings strong point.

who the hell cares what his private life is like? not me.
obviously these idiot teabaggers are grasping at straws, because this insult has nothing to do with anything.
i will say it again, barney frank appears to be a pretty smart guy.
My experience has been most people who called me a f****t were themselves raging closet cases filled with self loathing. I knew one homophobe who was a violent gay basher, and imagine the delight when a friend caught him buying gay porn at the local XXX shop...
All I see when i see a gaybasher is a closet queen, and I really pity them.
Michael Savage is the most obvious closet queen on the airwaves...
if things like peak oil are true, then we could be in for trouble anyway.
is more about the break even point of extracting oil than physical shortage. If oil goes beyond $200 per barrel, then poor people will cease to be able to drive cars, the elite will carry on as normal.
well, america today is a hell of a lot different than the sixties, "when the air was clean, and sex was dirty"
white americans have lost their pre-eminent position, at least poor white people have, so the teabaggers are pissed, a lot of people have written about this, people reacting to change they see as threatening.
don't know what to think about peak oil, i guess i believe it, it will be another change to get violent types all upset about, but right now i do believe most of it has to do with obamas race.
thats been my experience with homophobes as well..."the squeaky wheel wants to be greased"... ha ha.

my son asked me the other day what to do if a gay guy made a pass at him, and yeah i know this is kind of off-topic, i told him to take it as a compliment, say thanks and move on. then he asked me if that is what i would do, and i told him that is what i have done; i mean eventually as a man living in america, another man will make a pass at you, i find it flattering, i mean it is a compliment, somebody finds you attractive. god, these teabagger types would freak out, you are probably right, about half of them are in the closet, i have had friends in the closet, and i never said a word to them until they were ready, didn't want to lose a good friend, things are a lot different these days, these teabag people are sooooo..... last century.
"my son asked me the other day what to do if a gay guy made a pass at him"

the mensheviks tried some mild socialist reforms in the duma, were stymied by reactionary forces, so russia wound up with the bolsheviks.
looks like the same deal could happen here, the right stymies any sort of mild reform, they could wind up with something a lot more radical.
...the Bolsheviks- Trotsky in particular- organized inside of the Tsarist military. The Mensheviks didn't have their own version of the Red Army to fight the military coup known as the October Revolution.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
didn't the czar and them have a chance to play nice, and just wouldn't?
The head of state was at first Minister-President Lvov, with Kerensky as the head of the government, but Kerensky took the title of Minister-President in July.
Kerensky and the Mensheviks were facing a host of problems, many- if not most- directly related to the war. But the Imperialists on the Duma's right and Bolsheviks on the left were both constantly undermining the government's authority. And both the left and the right had support in the military. The right simply backed away and let the Bolsheviks do their thing in October, consolidated and began fighting a civil war after the Bolsheviks had seized power.

The right wing in America has over the past 20 years or so become fully radicalized.They are actively driving the last of the "moderates" out of their party and are focused on the long term goal of absolute insurmountable power.Their control of the media is obviously a very formidable weapon and allows Beck and Limbaugh to not only recruit more and more like minded people,but instill in them a hatred for Liberals and Progressives that defies reality.
These Tea Parties are a clear example of how radical and dangerous the right wing has become.It needs to made clear that although they have a right to free speech,the actual content,the labels,the racism and bigotry and fear mongering are unacceptable.

I understand the teaparty people being mad a government. The government has done plenty to be mad at them for. This insurance bill is just one more reason. What I don't get is that these fools don't see that it was the republicans that screwed everything up! If the republicans had been working to make things better for everyone, not just the rich, we would not be where we are right now. You can't fix stupid and the GOP is about as stupid as anything we have ever seen. I am so ashamed of 40 million Americans that I cannot express the depth of the shame I feel for those who cannot feel the shame for themselves.
These people do not have the morals or the intelligence to make sound rational decisions and should not be allowed to participate in government. Every thing they do is wrong!

The cowardly teabaggers never made these kind of threats under the Bush regime. They know they'd be arrested and tortured by Bush's thugs. They know that Obama actually respects the Constitution therefore they know they can get away with the threats. Not to worry though, in 20 years most of these teabaggers will have died of old age.
that are the next problem.
I want to see democrats get behind an effort to try bush for war crimes and murder. But it won't happen, because all you guys do is bitch and complain about teabaggers. Fing weak.

for the WH to beef up security. If the HCR bill passes, these rightwing nutjobs are going to become totally unhinged (as opposed to half-unhinged). With HateCable and HateRadio feeding their fear and ignorance, violence is not far behind.
I agree about beefing up security. These people who get so enraged are only going to get worse and becks, limpballs and such have more hate going out every day. The saddest part is that some of these older ones actually believe they are standing up for the "real America" and there is no telling what they will get in their minds since they don't think they have much time and nothing to lose. They might even think it would be heroic.

#iamthemob on Twitter. The only reason they exist is for hate and violence. They are moronic and cruel, yet they have been bred by the likes of Glenn Beck to believe they are far more smarter, worthy, and correct than they ever will be.
I believe they will eventually kill.
And it's times like this, that I, who despises guns, can see the importance of the 2nd amendment...

How much will the MSM show us the true face of the teabaggers? Probably not much. They make a better story if the MSM pretends they are some type of smaller government grassroots movement. How many of them will call them out for the bigots and racist they are? None.
is intended to be a factual statement
in all its white glory. Andto the members of the Congress of the United States of America that spoke at this event--hope you enjoyed your time in office. King, Pence and Bachmann need to go, and Boner needs to go for supporting them.
It is racism pure and simple. These aholes were not protesting Bush when he was spending billions, then trillions on war. But when Obama wants to spend the same or even less on benefiting American lives these mofos come out of the ooze. Ignorance can be cured if the person is willing to learn, but Repuke teabaggers wear their stupidity like a shield.
Why is it that Dems are always bullied and never fight back? Maybe because Dems,
for the most part are sane, thinking, human beings, where most of these Pukes are hardly even human. Look at the crowd jeering that poor person who was for healthcare because it would help with his Parkinson’s. You could hardly classify them as human, even if they did seem so from the outside.
...racial and social prejudice are quite alive and kicking more than ever in these United States. This country is many, many things. Unfortunately being socially progressive never has been one of them. I said a couple of days ago that it would great if our next President was not only another black democrat but also a woman. Now I think it would be the pièce de résistance if she were also lesbian.
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
...and had a French-sounding name. Just sayin'.
far left loon >.<

Totally agree with someone upstream who said these f*!ks would have been rounded up in a hurry if they were protesting Bushco like this. Teabaggers would be but a memory by now.
That's what happens when you allow just anybody from anywhere to buy controlling interests in the country's airwaves. Deregulate the media and along come fucknuts like Murdoch to take over and give support to the worst scumbagging tendencies of the ignorant American public.

I'm curious if therer are any Canadians, Britons, or Europeans here- when you see these violent right wing tea party members calling for violence and spewing hatred- do they come off as loving freedom?
The right tends to be the crowd that speaks down to the rest of the world as being inferior to America in every way, and they assert ONLY America has freedom.
Do these right wingers really look like they love freedom?
The Republican Party is even more xenophobic and racist that the BNP (British National party)
I'm so grateful that I live in Canada.
Not to say that we haven't had our own troubles (mainly in Quebec), but the teabagger movement is scary.
Maybe having a population of only 35 million spread over such a large country keeps us from that kind of hatred?
To answer your question, no it doesn't look like they love freedom. It looks like they would like to revert to Jim Crow.
a Twitter account to the Secret Service not too long ago for racist and violent threats against the President and Mrs. Obama... Well, quick update...Twitter hasn't done anything about this creep. He is still posting. I don't have the stomach right now to look and see if there are any fresh threats against the Pres. and Mrs. Obama, but he is still threatening women and people of color who are Twitter users...
I guess the next thing I have to do is write a snail mail letter to Twitter... Their form for reporting shit like this is hard to manage

are going to start shooting ?
I am really getting frightened that they may try to shoot some of the Congressional people tomorrow ...
it's a question of when- And WHEN it happens, I can only hope they'll kill themselves in the process
I assure you when a right winger opens fire, the right wing will declare the shooter a hero
The police and FBI needs to come down on the right wing domestic terrorists with the fury of a hurricane.
Beck will play all ignorant and innocent as if he were in no way responsible...
Something bad will happen and something needs to be done to PREVENT it. Only problem is, if the FBI or whoever tries to PREVENT then the teabaggers have more ammo claiming that the Obama admin is taking away their freedoms. So what do you do?
is intended to be a factual statement
signs with racist words and messages encouraging assasination of our current president is acceptable? What are these right wingers thinking!!!!
Imagine if signs like this were carried at protests during GW Bush's presidency!!!!
Death Threats Against Bush at Protests Ignored for Years
Study the symptoms not the virus...
It's acceptable today then.
Jeez. And ignored? My ass.

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
The Republican-TeaBag Party. Created by the unholy merger of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, the rest of the Fox News gang and BushCo. Name calling is for third graders and threats of violence is for TERRORISTS. That's right, that's exactly what they are.
Where the hell is the Police? FBI? Secret Service? Bueller???
NOBODY 2012
I was wondering the same thing. I didn't see any security people in the video.
If this had taken place in Canada, the police would've been there with riot gear.
Not that I support the Tea Party, but there was no rioting, and I haven't heard of any Tea Party events that turned violent yet. It's still a free country, people have a right to protest.
they do.
