How is this stuff even possible in 2010.
Republican Tea Bagger protesters, at an event entirely organized by the GOP, yelled "nigger" at Democratic Rep. John Lewis as he walked close by.
There's no reason for that. Yes I'm sure it's some crazy idiot in the crowd being stupid. But their whole movement is based on such sentiment. Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) sums it up best: “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.”
Actually it's encouraged:
On Twitter, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) wrote that he was "grateful for the thousands of patriots who are storming the Capitol today protesting government healthcare and defending freedom."
Patriots?? Only a Southerner would call people who yell "nigger" at a Civil Rights hero a patriot. Good God, is there really not a sane one in the bunch?
Considering a House Republican yelled "baby killer" at Democrat Bart Stupak while he gave a speech on the floor, there really isn't any difference between the elected crazy and the non-elected crazy. With people like this in positions of authority, it's a miracle this country has come as far as it has. In a way I'm glad Republicans are around so we can all see just how far we still have to go.
When can we start this over?
