To be fair though, shouting "racist!" has become to the left what "9/11!" was to the right.

That would be pretty hilarious if all the racists were Democratic plants. I highly doubt it, but still ...

So if some union thugs beat a wheelchair guy, that makes epithets and bringing guns to town hall meetings ok?

so you actually endorse beating up a wheelchair bound black guy?

beating up a weaker guy (black) is ok in your world?

while spoken words in reality hurt more?

guns to town hall in open carry staes are legal


media distorts the message (if msm)

again please poride links to your statements

I know its hard to believe since there isn't a youtube video to support it, but once again I want to remind everybody that I am a member of the Republican Party and that for the most part I think I oppose healthcare reform in the form that its taking in this bill ... Again, you can't find evidence of it on youtube or an unabashedly biased blog, so you're just going to take my word for it ...

But if stuff like what's documented in this column doesn't bother you, despite what side of the fence you're on, then you're losing sight of what makes America the greatest country on earth to begin with. FACT.

http://www.philly.com/inquirer/currents/89343997.html

Couple excerpts I want to provide for the people in a rush:
ouse Republicans sought to stir up protesters, not settle them down. They applauded as one protester had to be removed by security. U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R., Texas), who owned up to the "baby killer!" shout, headlined the raucous performance.
Oh, and real quick, we all know that the Democrat who Randy Neugebauer called a "baby killer" is Pro-Life, right? I know what you're thinking: Randy Neugebauer must be "mentally challenged" as Sarah Palin would put it to call a Pro-Life Democrat a "baby killer." But the article gives a good reason for his blinding generalization:
It occurs to me that something else was gaining momentum during that era: the rise of talk radio, cable news, and the Internet. And the convergence of the three against the backdrop of Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment proceedings gave rise to what we see today.

Today, that three-headed monster facilitates an artificial view of America - one in which every issue boils down to a left/right, liberal/conservative, Republican/Democratic standoff. Americans are now conditioned to choose a side and stick with it. Elected officials and candidates, all too eager to play the media game, emulate that behavior. The lack of decorum carries over from the split screen to the House floor. The cameras and microphones, of course, capture it all. And the cycle starts all over again.
In short, the common sense of the majority is engulfed by the fervor of a minority fringe. Any undrunk, substantive messages are cast as weak and unprincipled, and are drowned out by those who insist upon casting each political conflict in revolutionary terms.

That's the real damage done when people with a microphone at their lips or on their lapels whip the knuckleheads into a frenzy. There's less time for temperance. Critical thinking is diminished. The actions of a manic few are recorded, projected, and whispered down the lane for anyone with a radio, television, or Internet connection. The debate is cheapened, and, ultimately, the safety of our elected officials is threatened.
Also, I know I'm giving you the internet linked version of this article, but I'd just like to point out that I read it earlier today in a newspaper in real-life.

Ok, so explain this to me, when someone shouts the n-word at a Black Congressman, it must be a Democrat plant...

do you honestly subscribe to this thought? do you really believe it was a plant? do you actually believe this incident did not happen? Do you believe multiple independent news sources reported this simultaneously, is some part of a far ranging conspiracy?

One or more of those jack asses said it, and while it may be a few individuals in that tea party movement, it reflects negatively on said movement as a whole.

9/11 happened in what is essentially NYD's back yard. Her father was a retired NYFD, she grew up with these guys, knew alot of them and went to alot of funerals for fallen firefighters. She has alot of friends in the NYPD, i've met many myself, good guys. I know you may think 9/11 is a knee jerk response for her, but it is perhaps more personal for her than the rest of us that watched it on tv.
Being from NYC, it happened in my backyard too, and I lost friends that day and went to funerals as well. One thing we all need to realize, is that NY'ers don't have any more claim to 9/11 than any one else in the country, whether some kid living in living in Cali and someone woke 'em up at 5am tellin' 'em a planes crashed into the WTC, or whether you've got friends and neighbors who aren't coming home anymore. It wasn't just personal for us as New Yorkers, it was/is personal for all of us. We all got hit that day.

Here is the description from one of the congressmen who made the walk:

"Some among the crowd chanted 'the N-word, the N-word,' 15 times.

If you do a search for "black caucus tea party" on YouTube you get pages and pages of various recordings from this incident (the walk lasted less than one minute). How is it that, out of all these recordings (and even the cameras of the members of the black caucus who were being conviently held up above the crowd the whole way), not a single one picked up any "chanting of the n-word"?

I don't give a shit about the Tea Party. I can prove that ObamaCare is wrong- economically and morally. But falsely accusing any people of being racist is pretty fucked up,
