    • This story is 100% FAKE. Not one shred of evidence is here to confirm any of the outrageous and unsubstantiated accusations. There are so many cameras and people taking videos yet not one shred of evidence. What a pathetic attempt by these crooked and corrupt politicians of the democrat party to try to get pity on them. Shame!

      Where is the proof behind this outrageous claim? There are cameras everywhere. f someone is SCREAMING as this story charges, obviously there would be proof. This story is a lie and, of course, the democrat politicians who made this false claime are just are your typical phony lying democrat politicians.

    • I get it. If you disagree with the democrat party, you are a racist. Typical liberal desperation. Am I supposed to feel sorry for someone? Nobody wants this crap bill except the corrupt politicians who have been paid off.

    • Funny to see the Dems bust out the race card in order to gain sympathy and discredit the anti-health care protesters.

      I watched the video and did not hear the word a single time. Even if it was you can almost guarantee it was a Democrat plant. Anyone remember the girl that carved up her own face?

      How could it be a Republican plant when it would make them look bad?

      The fact that you are unable to type a coherent and intelligent rebuttal without using profanity demonstrates your level of intelligence. Which clearly isn't very high.

    • Im looking into this, but even it were true, it still doesn't detract from the message of limiting government, stopping spending, and cutting taxes.

      Just because a few people scream out racial slurs doesnt mean we need a totalitarian regime

    • I am so glad that you did not post ( the N-WORD) as oppose to the word 'NIGGER', bcause that's what he screamed. We need to still just how extremely painful that word is for some people, and the harm intended when sick people use it as a last line of defense for their self deluted, self serving ignorance.

      Vote up.

      very true man. it seems silly, but as a person from the south, I cringed quite a few times reading the comments. my great great grandmother 'worked' for free because she was that word, my grandmother was made to watch someone lynched in Georgia because she was that word. My aunt desegregated her school and had to wash that word off her desk every week. Luckily, I had the opportunity to laugh when called that word playing soccer growing up, because we're no longer "oppressed", but if I was somewhere with an angry mob and even a few "individuals" yelled it, damned if I wouldn't be angry, saddened, and extremely scared because "Nigg*r", though just a word, was/is used to dehumanize, marginalize, and instill fear. I'm not trying to excuse black people that have adopted and adapted the word (taking of that infamous "er"), but the context, meaning, intentions, and effect are totally different...so just don't fucking write or say it..it's easy.

      clearly this isn't a situation of "when all else fails" since Dems have the votes they need on this. Similarly, Rep. Lewis of Georgia shook off his disappointment and felt energized by the vitriol; said it reminded him of when he marched in the 60's. Yelling Nig*er (which yes, was yelled, along with "faggot" and "homo" to the Rep from Massachusetts) invalidates real concerns people have on this and makes their anger just about race and hatred. The people here responding didn't do that, the media didn't do that, the idiots who yelled it did.

    • Seems like the smallest contributors to our national tax pool think they can call the shots on what we the majority can spend. Now who's out of their mind? And fuck the car insurance comparison, all you conservative fucks pay taxes and have no more say in what its spent on than you do now so shut up, sit the fuck down, stop making your pathetic threats against the President, like any of you crazy fucks stood a chance in hell of getting near him ...... and we will see if you have enough votes at the next election to get to have your way with OUR national pool of tax money. But for christ sake we all have to pay for this, that's what mandatory means so shut the fuck up about how liberals are lazy and don't pay their way. WE ALL GET TO PAY! GET IT? NOW FUCK OFF! One last thing if you ignorant fucks think for a second that we liberals don't know how to fight backstabbing underhanded Racists and Fascist Authoritarians then you clearly have forgotten the ass kicking we gave you in the 1960 from Watts to Chicago to Selma to every nook and cranny your ilk hides their dirty business of religious and political fanaticism. you will never get states rights back we all know you would immediately reinstate Jim Crow laws and worse for gays and all minorities. So take your ridiculous demands and shove them where the sun don't shine......you know, your lair.

      and Occhipi: Voted Up cause the world needs to see these racists for what they are.

      You do realize that the top 5% pay far more taxes than the other 95% right?

      Your post is fitting with your genocidal maniac in your avatar though. The ironic part about your post is the socialist you support in your avatar wouldn't even allow you to make this post.

      And if we (meaning the tax payers) aren't paying for it then why is it going to cost a trillion dollars? Some of your logic doesn't seem to add up.

      hombre,

      It seems that you are unable to explain your post because you are simply making things up.

      The fact that you immediately resort to ad-hominem attacks shows a disturbingly low level of education on your part.

      You need a handkerchief for your tears? Is it too hard to understand that I have nothing but contempt for people like you. I'm not trying to convince you I'm telling you that I and people like me see through your lies and you will not stop this progress even with your own life. Deal with it and go nurse your wounded pride. I'm done talking to you about this.

      I find it sad that you don't possess the basic ability to express your thoughts in an intelligent manner. It appears some type of schooling would do you well.

      I can only hope you will choose to educate yourself someday rather than remaining ignorant.

      I have no problem with people who disagree with my views. I have a problem with ignorant people like yourself who don't attempt to actually educate themselves on issues and merely speak in one-liners.

      I don't think a democrat or a liberal can debate without hiding behind a race card..something this person who posted this article is doing now..he is trying to win sympathy by using the race card here..

      honestly..if thes use of the word "nigger" bothers these so called concerned liberals..how come they are not present when these ghetto assholes use it every other word in a sentence?????????????????????????????

      why???

      In the short time I've been reading your posts, I don't believe I've ever actually heard you make a point on the debate at hand. Rather, I get such gems as "I am about to shove my foot up a liberal's ass". Here's a thought: if you have an opinion, why don't you actually try to be useful by explicating it. Otherwise, go find a shoulder to cry on and stop taking up valuable space here. That goes for a lot of people, actually.

      Your comfort with spitting on people while calling them racial slurs just simply shows the level of your character. And when someone protests this, you play the "play the race card". Ha!

      Because slavery and the civil rights movement is a part of our history this word has a negative connotation when used by whites in a derogatory manner. If they use the word towards each other it is their prerogative.

      "GHETTO ASSHOLE" ? That sounds far worse that the word "Nigger". It really allows you to believe that you're getting away with saying something bad about a race of people because you didn't call them "Niggers".Are you assuming that all Black people reside in the "ghetto"? At least we all can see that you try not to hide you ignorance and shame on where you stand on race relations.

      Poor child.It's time for you to go and take your nap.

      What?

      Black civic leaders DO try to discourage the use of the word. What are "Liberals" in general going to do? You don't seem to have a grasp on... much.

      But it's OK to call people crackers, right? Or women bitches or ho's, right? It works both ways. Being disrespectful is still being disrespectful. Slavery or no slavery.

      Bitches, hos, and crackers are all terms that can be used on public television. Whereas, nigger is not a word that is tolerated.

      However, I completely understand your meaning. Disrespect is not something that should be emulated. When a Tea Bagger uses the word Nigger though, we can't say that calling someone a bitch is even close.

      well said, however those derogatory names, in particular the ones addressed to women are the ones that all of us need to take heed to and begin to look at from the another perspective.

      Male chauvenism crosses all racial lines. It is the greatest hinderence to peace and tranquility on the planet Earth. We can no longer brush it aside for whatever reasons we try to find.This frontier of discrimination has been ignored far too long, and I am not a woman, but I'm married to one and I'm raising one.

      You're better off disrespecting me than you are my wife or my daughter.

      Correct, the word is a part of HISTORY. Meaning neither I nor my immediate relatives had anything to do with slavery or racist laws.

      Sorry, I just don't have the white guilt that the left wants me to have.
