Last week, conservatives grew annoyed with the way Democrats discussed the threats against them — it was unfair, said critics of the health care bill, to link all extremism to their opponents. This week, the conservative pushback is being led by Andrew Breitbart, who’s been posting — piece by piece — proof that supporters of Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) heckled and threw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus at last Saturday’s Searchlight, Nev., rally.
Here’s video of Breitbart taking heat from Reid backers who — realizing they’re on camera — soft-pedal their anger at him.
And Chris Burgard, riding on the Tea Party Express bus, conducted interviews on the egging — his interview with the bus driver was uploaded to the official breitbart YouTube account.
The “Egg Crime 1984,” as Breitbart refers to it (a reference to the Eurythmics song “Sex Crime 1984″) is the most compelling part in a disconnected conservative campaign to flip this script. Tea Partiers say they have proof of outrageous conduct against them, while Democrats have no evidence of the attacks on black members of Congress alleged during the health care debate. Here, for example, is Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) saying the members don’t have evidence to back up their claims.

On one hand, the camera is protection against the extremes to which these Prog-Fascist nuts will go. On the other, capturing such an encounter on hidden camera(s) would be a hoot.

Having been to many Tea Parties, and NEVER ONCE seeing anything even remotely racist I would be surprised if they had a video. But the hate from the left aimed at recruiters is well documented. As are the bricks through recruiters windows and vandalism etc. NO one seemed to care when Code Pinko's were calling soldiers baby killers.

Andrew breitbart and the words “reliable evidence” are two terms with NOTHING in common.
I am sorry, but my parents are memebers of the Tea Party. I love them dearly, and always will, but they are unapologetically racist. Thats very painful to me.
And yes, their Tea Party friends encourage that racism.
Unlike his bigoted, angry and unquestioning followers, I dont need Andrew Breitbart to have his “Youtube” account filter out what my own physical eyes can see, and what my own ears can hear.
Andrew, just go away.

Oh yes, we totally believe that the tea partiers are just nice folks with no hate at all, thanks to the person who links to her website, ScrewLiberals.com. Thanks for enlightening us.
Oh btw, I've been to several tea parties here in Chicago, and have heard plenty of racist rhetoric. And despite having a very large black population here, I saw no more than one black person attending any of the events (and I'm pretty sure he was a reporter).

They are nice people, the ones I've met. The only person using foul language or being rude was the guy with the 4 Obama stickers on the back of his $95,000 car who drove around the block 7 times to flip us the bird. Just because I loathe lefty “redistributing” scum bags doesn't mean I'm not a nice person.
As for “racist” rhetoric, why don't you film it. I mean all these cameras, all these video's and not ONE has caught a righty using the N word or any such thing. Why? Because it doesn't happen.
As for why black in Chicago don't attend. Why would you be shocked, they've been organized to NOT attend free thinking events such as this.

You're a nice person, but you call those who disagree with your opinion “scum bags”, run a website called “Screw Liberals.”
And then you say that those who paint all the tea parties with the brush of being hateful, full of rage, racist, whatever, are just as bad, painting them with that same broad, generalizing brush.

Why? Because it doesn't happen.
Yes, yes it does.
As for why black in Chicago don't attend. Why would you be shocked,
I never said I was shocked. It was exactly as I suspected.
What sort of mind control do you think is being employed to keep black people from such events, exactly? Do you think, instead of implying some mysterious entity that is keeping them away, that it might have something to do with all the Obama as African witch doctor posters, confederate flags, and variations on the “Obama's a Kenyan, “Send him back to Kenya” theme? Hmmm?

Oh you forgot to add Obama's Church that for over 20 years preached hatred and told the people of said church that Whitey was to blame for all their ills. Just a hunch. Now where is that church located? Oh Chicago.

So you're saying that a Chicago church is keeping all the black people from the tea parties?
Comment posted March 31, 2010 @ 6:44 pm
That kind of group think is insidious. Add the welfare mentality, crime rates and crap schools. All at the hands of too many years of Democrats running the show and you wonder why they can't think for themselves or yearn for and fight for freedom?
Comment posted March 31, 2010 @ 6:45 pm
Actually, I don't wonder that, because I'm not a racist asshole who assumes all black people aren't intelligent enough to think for themselves. You are.

So it's unfair to generalize you and your ilk, but perfectly fair to generalize the other guys. Noted.

Andrew Breitbart owes Rep. Lewis $10,000.

Between the 11 and 12 seconds marks as Lewis walks away.
