Not only is there no recorded evidence of racial epithets being hurled at Congressional Black Caucus members as they left the Capital-the
subjects themselves are now backtracking and saying they were verbally assaulted a couple of blocks away.
The Lewis incident was via a voice message and not at a public event.
Last night Sean Hannity filmed his Fox News program at a rally outside Orlando, Florida. The crowd was virtually-I'd go so far as to say, exclusively-white. Who were the 3 keynote speakers? Marco Rubio, a 2nd generation Cuban from Miami, Allan West an African-American from Ft. Lauderdale and Pam Bondi, a sweet looking blond from Tampa. All three are Republican candidates, favored to win their respective elections. The crowd wasn't at the event to see Hannity-they were there to see Rubio-who has become a hero to Tea Party members throughout Florida. This despite the fact that he's running in a Republican Senate primary against Charlie Crist, a popular anglo Governor. The Tea Party darling isn't the good looking white guy but a dark Latino named
Marco. A You Tube video of Allen West has been seen 2.1
million times.
The repeated and oft assertion by leftists opinion makers-many of whom are black-such as Eugene Robinson, Clarance Page and Leonard Pitts, that the Tea Party's opposition to Obama's policies is race based is backfiring. A
record number of inner city black candidates are running this fall as Congressional Republican's. If anything Obama's Presidency could be the blow off top when it comes to black support for Democrats. Blacks are social conservatives who by themselves, have tanked same-sex marriage initiatives in every state . With teenage black unemployment at 50% most blacks are finally waking up that existing urban policies are not working to their benefit. Where are blacks opening the most businesses, buying the most homes, finishing school at the highest graduation rates? Certainly not Chicago, Detroit or Cleveland but in the Deep South. To Southern whites, who've long become accustomed to the immense athletic contributions at Southern universities by intelligent, hard working, Christian blacks, the opportunity to help African-American Republicans is being seen as a social and moral obligation. Even to the most prejudiced Southern white, a conservative black is a Godsend when compared to leftist, socialist, statist, elitist, anti-libertine, anti-family whites.
Quote from traderNik:
Aren't the tea Party the ones who idolize Sarah Palin? Didn't they have Sarah Palin as the keynote speaker at their First Annual Convention (or something like that)?
Wasn't it a tea Party member who called Andre Carson a nigger?
Or was it John Lewis they were calling nigger? Maybe it was both.
Didn't they spit on Emanuel Cleaver?
