This is what you get from a gaggle of half wits,scary thing is the cult is growing and in the us there's plenty of fertilizer.
Why should this surprise anyone? It is well known that Tea Party is in fact the far right Republican base, they think that mainstream Republicans are too left wing. They support a purge of the Republican Party in a dictatorship style.
Why would anybody be surprised that racism and homophobia is running rampant in the Tea Party? This is Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin crowd, they belong to the far right.

Not too surprising. There have been other reports of this sort of behaviour from Tea Party groups. Just remember that most of them are not too bright.
To Rep. James, Lewis, it must have taken him back to the ‘good old days’ of 60s, with Selma, Alabama and the civil rights struggle in the south. The Tea Party bunch is conservative all right, conservative in every respect. They evidently want to turn the clock back more than 50 years, on everything.
The same news item was also on CNN. But then according to you, anybody who believes anything in CNN is also a certifiable fool.
Now, your believed FOX news probably didn't carry the news, why would they? But it made the front page news yesterday on CNN, and that is good enough for me.
I just checked CNN website, the news item is still there.

It probably doesn't appear on FOX ( a mouthpiece of Republican Party, and an enthusiastic supporter of the Tea Party).

Adjectives and invectives vary only in degree.
Why is calling a conservative person a "redneck" and an "extremist" NOT any worse or at least as bad as calling the above two congressmen what they are?
Besides, knowing the history of the Democrats/liberals/progressives for falsifying just about anything, it is entirely possible that the alleged slurs were hurled by well-paid, liberals planted by desparate liberals.
This "report" may be nothing more than a laast-ditch attempt by liberals/progressives to drive a wedge between the tea party movement and the Republican Party. The liberals/progressives know fully well that the only racists are the ones in the Democratic Party.

Let us not forget that the Tea Party movement which started last July was not reported on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, etc., the many official mouth pieces of the Democratic Party, until recently.
When it became too big for them to ignore, (according to many polls 70% of Americans oppose the policies of the current administration) they referred to its participants as "TEA BAGGERS", and they still do to this very day.
But they are too stupid to realize that "TEA BAGGERS" are actually one of the pillars of the Democratic Party: homosexuals. And the "TEA BAG" is a euphanism for scrotum. No need to go into details.

Sorry Sir Porter
The TeaParty people are a combination of disaffected citizens/voters from both sides of the aisle - the ONLY refreshing thing which has happened since the upheaval of this new birth of what appears to be the birth of a socialist nation.
Many people both democrat and republican and independent are working to advance their own projects as a group (in agreement for a change) rather than
witness the terrible divide which Congress and the Senate are now displaying for
a government whose primary duty is to work for the people regardless but have
been playing partisan party vote by mandate instead.
The TeaParty group think the people themselves are poorly represented by the most divided government which seems to have forgotten they need to include
all people of all political persuasions, not just those who will satisfy their next election outcome.
They are a rowdy group and I wouldn't be surprised at the epithets being thrown from both sides not just as portrayed in the opening post, but I like that they
are able and willing to call their reprentatives in making new law accountable for
ALL the people, not by party lines alone.
Health care (one of the issues) affects all the people, it is not a politically focused mandate and those who disagree with the way it has been pushed at the people without being discussed and read in public, semi- available to the public to read in toto, as well as questions, makes many of the citizens in the U.S. wonder who stole the rights of the people (the premise upon which the government was formed).
"We the People...... " still has great meaning for many in the U.S. The Tea Party group want to maintain its intent. It isn't all about Health Care - it is about the loss of the Voice.

Did you know that the tea party people are a special interest group that most Americans are against?
70% Americans oppose Obama’s policies? Sounds like something that came out of Republican Politburo. Put up the poll where it says that.
But again,, you are changing subject, that means that you have ran out of arguments. We are discussing here the racial slurs (nigge* and worse) hurled at black Democratic members by Tea Party racists.
But surprise, even Republicans disagree with you, they also condemned the racial slurs (though you apparently seem to have no problem with them).

The fact that you see nothing wrong with the racial slurs (I have not seen you condemn them here) tells us, more that anything else, what you think of blacks as people.
Indeed, to people like Rep. Lewis, it must have been like traveling back in times, traveling back 40 years to Selma.

What it all comes down to is the basic fact that there is an arsehole.......or six.....in every bunch.
Where did you read that, Curiosity? Can you put up a link to that? The fact is, there are very few Democrats in the Tea Party, it is mostly the right wing faction of the Republican party, frustrated because they have been disenfranchised after being 12 years in power.
For 12 years, they said jump, and the Republican Congress jumped. Bush did the same for eight years. Now for the first time in a long time, they don’t hold any power in Washington, so they are angry and frustrated.
They think that Republican party has moved too much to the left and they support a purge of the Republican Party, similar to the purge carried out by Saddam of the Bath party.
Indeed, they recently had their convention. Did you see a single Democratic speaker there? They were all republicans, the darling of the Tea Party being of course, Joan of Arc.
Anyway, do you have a link where it says that there are substantial number of Democrats in the Tea Party? Would you put up a link, please?

Yep....the far right wing arm of the Republican Party.....and ONLY the far-right wing of the GOP .........ended the decades-long domination of Democratic senators elected in Massachusetts........care to try again???
Oh....he can't hear me.
SirJosephPorter, a slur is a slur is a slur.
When you call people of faith extremists and rednecks is no worse than anything the liberal plants hurled at Lewis and Franks.
The only difference is that some have self-respect some others have a gigantic chip on the shoulder that even the election of a black (well, half black) President could not remove.
People them (hell, people like you!) won't be satisfied until everyone who disagrees with you are securely silenced and/or incarcerated.
