The Congressional Black Caucus is worse than Emmet Till, Tom Robinson (not the gay one), and Barack Obama (by virtue of being elected President) for deliberately provoking white people to completely lose their shit at the sight of BLACK PEOPLE WALKING. At least that is what white race anger pimp Andrew Breitbart thinks:
There is no reason in 21st century America on an issue that is not a black or white or a civil rights issue to have a bloc of black people walk slowly through a mostly white crowd to make a racial point. The walk in and of itself — with two of the participants holding their handheld cameras above their heads hoping to document “proof” — was an act of racism meant to create a contrast between the tea party crowd and themselves.
Obviously these nubian provocateurs are outside agitators sent in from foreign congressional districts with the intent of riling up the peaceful Benetton ad that is every Tea Party.
Angry angry Andy asks:
Saturday’s “never mind” moment will live in infamy as the Congressional Black Caucus claimed the N-word was hurled 15 times. YouTube video shows that at least two of the men in the procession were carrying video cameras and holding them above the crowd. They have not come forth with evidence to show that even one person hurled the vile racist epithet. The video also shows no head movement one way or another. Wouldn’t the N-word provoke a head turn or two?
Perhaps Breitbart should drive down from his palatial Brentwood estate to Compton and test out his “head turn” hypothetical.
Hilarity will ensue, an ass will get a cap popped into it…

Ah, the “absence of evidence is itself evidence” gambit.
Gee, whom am I gonna believe: someone who obviously has no qualms about stretching facts to fit his theories, or a Congressman.
Decisions, decisions…
Just like how not finding WMD in Iraq PROVED that there was WMD in Iraq.
WOLVERINES, muthafuckas!
Time to move on. Never was a problem, Gunnar Myrdal was inflamatory, that pic is inflamatory. Move on, ya know?
The claim about the epithet being thrown 15 times does not, in fact, refer to that particular walk through the crowd, but to various encounters between AAs and the crowds throughout the few days previous to passage of the bill.
So the fact that no one has any probative video from that particular moment means absolutely nothing. Rather, the fact that the event was clearly being recorded, not only by two of the participants but by the national media, and after the previous incidents had surfaced to near-universal outrage, made any misbehavior in this particular instance very unlikely.
Also, it is difficult for video equipment to pick up individual voices in a crowd the way the human ear can. If the insulting individual is not facing toward the microphone and the camera is not as close to the individual being insulted as the insulter is, it’s unlikely that anyone could have caught it clearly enough to satisfy the deniers, especially since we all know they would claim it was doctored up anyway.
Finally, the vast majority of any amateur video taken on any of the non-press-covered occasions in question would have been taken by Tea Partiers, who are unlikely to release any proof of their compatriots’ indiscretions.
But, but, but…James O’Keeffe was completely innocent!!! Dimbart is rapidly becoming another bad Glenn Beck imitator, and he’s failing. I pray for the day when I don’t have to read his name in the headlines. Don’t mean to take material away from the landlord, but he’s got plenty to work with.
Breitbart going all ‘evil Spock’ on a subject involving video cameras — whatever could have prompted such mirroring?
And that Congressman Cleaver could have very well stepped aside when the Patriot-American was expectorating, too!
Doesn’t this dope read what he writes?
If the video tape ain’t got shit, you must acquit.
Huffpo’s got video.

At the 1:26 mark. Could have been unintended spittle caused by yelling like an idiot, though.
Thank you, TBogg.
Sometimes I forget how angry these loathesome people make me. How loathesome they are.
Thank you.
How are the kids?
LOLZ. You said ‘anger pimp’. Excellent.
Fuck Asshole Andy.
That’s right, asshole, fuck you, Andy.
Oh yeah, and Fuck. You. Asshole.
Black on a cloudy day, 15 years in the hole and loss of down.
I hear the Negroes were recklessly eyeballing white women in the crowd.
OMG!! The black people have cameras now! Just how far will they go in their evil perfidy!
As one of the unbelievers, I am now forced to acknowledge that there is indeed a Rapture. I missed it because instead of taking His followers en masse, God is taking them one at a time. And instead of taking them whole, He’s only taking their minds. Just look at the lack of a rational, connective thought process in anything Mr. Big (Government, Hollywood, Hyperbole and Pimptitude) writes or says. Unfortunately that means his soul was “Left Behind.” And boy is it angry!
PS. I still don’t endorse the purchase of anything written by a LaHaye/Jenkins. Those guys are wankers.
A “tea partier” is a racist who’s too cheap to spring for white sheets.
“Perhaps Breitbart should drive down from his palatial Brentwood estate to Compton and test out his “head turn” hypothetical.

ithim…”Fixed.
Handheld cameras, too. In my day even white families could only afford the kind you pull behind a mule.
In the meantime, still waiting for the Liberalmageddon that Brightfart promised.
*crickets chirp*
How dare those uppity N*ggers walk among the scrotum white teabaggers. That is racist. And the cameras, who do they think they are with those cameras. It seems one cannot even go outside with an “Obama is a Nazi” sign without having to deal with Demnazifacist racists. When will it end?
Let’s see: what John Lewis said happened, which was confirmed by another congressman, vs. the long-distance assumptions of someone who flips off kids marching against child slavery because he can just tell how evil they are from all the way up on the balcony.
Decisions, decisions.
We’re past the “you guys got no video, so nothing happened” stage. Now we’re at the “how do you know they weren’t shrieking ‘bigger’ or ‘vigor’ or ‘rigor’ at those snooty boys?” stage, and “Sibilants like S and T just naturally cause your tongue to lose some spittle when you’re shouting things like ‘KILL the BILL’ at some uppity thang — especially when your mouth is jest naturally full of foam anyway.”
And these denying tactics buy some time in which the old ‘reset’ button just clicks in and it all becomes yesterday’s news that doesn’t matter anyway because there’s some new lie to pant after.
“A bloc of black people.”
Inchoate thoughts roil my brain, trying to compose a rational response…but
words fail.
Being black is de facto discrimination against Andrew Breitbart. Damn, these teabaggers have some serious issues.
