Tea party protesters hurl racial insults at Georgia Rep. John Lewis
By William Douglas
Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health-care reform bill, shouted "nigger" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s.
The protesters also shouted obscenities at other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, lawmakers said.
Capitol Police escorted the members of Congress into the Capitol after the confrontation. At least one demonstrator was reported arrested.
"They were shouting, sort of harassing," Lewis said. "But, it's OK, I've faced this before. It reminded me of the '60s. It was a lot of downright hate and anger and people being downright mean."
Lewis said he was leaving the Cannon office building across from the Capitol when protesters shouted "Kill the bill, kill the bill," Lewis said.
"I said 'I'm for the bill, I support the bill, I'm voting for the bill,' " Lewis said.
A colleague who was accompanying Lewis said people in the crowd responded by saying "Kill the bill, then the n-word."
"It surprised me that people are so mean and we can't engage in a civil dialogue and debate," Lewis said.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard "nigger."

Don't agree with what happened. There are loons in every place you look.
But insults - just look at this Blog. Dems never hurl insults. (sarcasm for those of you who can't feel it)

Racist Liberal Media Attempts to Brand Tea Parties Racist, Fails

Yesterday, Tea Party rally in DC. Since this video was first posted. John Lewis and the Congressional Black Caucus have claimed they were called racial slurs by Tea Party members opposed to Obamacare. As you can see in this video, there is no evidence of the so-called "N-word" or any other slur being used, despite th...e claims of the CBC and their lapdogs at CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS.
Will the media ignore the fact that among the Tea Partiers were people of all races? Here's the proof. http://maroonedinmarin.blogspot.com/2010/03/rally-against-obamacare-in-dc-march-20.htmlSee More

House Clears Path for Vote on Health Care Bill
The House on Sunday took the most critical step yet toward
adoption of legislation to overhaul the nation's health care
system, approving the key procedural measure necessary to
pass the bill.
The procedural vote, 224 to 206, showed that Democrats and
President Obama had succeeded in cobbling together the votes
they need to achieve a goal sought by presidents and
progressives for more than a half-century.

It will be interesting to watch the stock market tomorrow. The government has been printing money like mad and investing it in the market to make it look like people are investing. People are hiding their money. Government may slowly bring on inflation. This will make our debt easier to pay off. China does not like that.
Oh the tangled webs we weave when we try to deceive.
Kathleen Rogan, you truly are a complete nut job.
Inflation? That would be expected as the economy begins to show stronger signs of recovery. The government sells bonds to fund debt, as do Corporations. The stock market may be overly inflated because people invest in stock. The dollar has been weak (with some transient exceptions) for about 10 years. The two videos below take about 10 minutes each if you're interested in learning something.
HYPER INFLATION OR DEFLATION MARCH 2009

We are in a bull run, at what point does the market start to suffer from washington policies? Feds will pull punch bowl, rates are so low with the feds, stocks will correct. Shift in demographics. People will not totally give up on equities. Taxes on dividend will go up. We may reach a compromise, peeps will need the income (baby boomers) 2010 bush tax cuts expire. 2011 will be the year of great tax increases.
Auto Stocks Rebound: A year ago stocks crashed. Since Government has been printing money and bailing out GM, production is up, stocks are up. Compensation packages are up too.
Feds have been also investing in pharmaceuticals. Mainly a implant chip for all people who will be on the government public option plan. The chip will contain all health records for that individual. Cool, huh.
Two factors helping the market: Energy Stocks (gov investing)and a Health Care Rally. Health Co's that do business with medicare are suffering. All other health ins. in private sector will be raising prices, due to government raising costs. Looks like it may be a good investment, just need to know when to pull out. That's the name of the game. YeeHaww!!
Someone forgot to take their meds again.
Or better yet, don't forget to buy medicine. Prices on all medicines are slated to go up. Also, buying stock in medicines is probably a good idea. Pres Obama says, this health care reform will give immediate help to people with pre-existing health problems. The group of people that will get more entitlements will grow, along with their demand for more and better medicines. In order for the government to pay for the entitlement class, immediate tax and fee hikes on all working Americans. So stock up, check for long shelf life and check expiration dates before taxes and fees go up even more. And, if your lucky enough to be one of the uber rich, invest in medicines. Like the uber rich read fixpacifica.
I see you've sussed out the New World Order Implant Chip (tm).
Did you learn about this before or after you were abducted by the UFO?
No. I got all this info early this morning on tv, CNBC.
Closing Bell: Nooyi - Pepsico CEO, on the Economy w/Maria Bartiromo. Nooyi says Pres Obama delivered on his promise. Over the next weeks and months we will have a better perspective on what this health reform means. Plans on hiring. In China. Targeting India.
Oil - Up
Stocks - Up
Gold/Silver- down slightly
Americans - Broke
Axlerod w/Maria on CNBC: donut hole will be filled for medicare prescription drugs for people with pre-existing health problems. Tax increases will not go into effect until 2014, it is a myth that taxes will go into effect now. Small businesses will get tax credits to insure employees. 80% of people already insured thru employers will see little change. Additional tax on higher income Americans will be immediate. Tax breaks are not automatic, you have to apply.
Gee, Axelrod, so what is it? A myth? or Immediate Taxes???
Remember, watch what they do not what they say.
