Washington (CNN) - Civil rights icon and veteran Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said anti-health care bill protesters Saturday repeatedly yelled the "N" word at him as he left a heath care meeting and walked to the Capitol.

"I haven't seen heard anything like this in more than 40 years, maybe 45." Lewis said. "Since the march from Selma to Montgomery really."

"Yeah, but it's okay," Lewis added. "I've faced this before. So, it reminded me of the 60's. There's a lot of downright hate and anger and people are just being downright mean."

The incident was confirmed by Rep. Andre Carson, D-Indiana, who was walking with Lewis at the time. Protesters were yelling, "'kill the bill, kill the bill' and the 'N' word several times," Carson said.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Missouri, released a statement late Saturday saying he too was called the "N" word as he walked to the Capitol for a vote and that he was spat on by one protestor who was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police. Cleaver declined to press charges against the man, the statement said.

Protesters also hurled anti-gay comments at Rep. Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, who is openly gay, as he left the same health care meeting that Lewis attended in a House office building.

A CNN producer overheard the word "faggot" yelled at Frank several times in the lobby of the Longworth building. Frank said he heard someone yell "homo" at him.

"I'm disappointed," Frank said. "There's an unwillingness to be civil."

Frank, who said he rarely hears such slurs anymore, said the health care issue has become "the proxy for a lot of other sentiments. A lot of which are perfectly reasonable but some of which are kind of ugly."

  Yes and it is indefensible. Racial and hate slurs have no place in any circumstance. Well, at least the are perpetrators (protestors) were caught showing their true colors, and so the rest of can see the way these people really think.

  I agree with you. Besides, making derogatory remarks is totally off subject and a distraction. The issue is not about Franks being gay, its about healthcare reform. (Maybe the protestors are trying to trying to distract? I don't know.)

  Randy Godwinposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  Because I like snakes. I study them because there are many in my area. I also have several articles here and on other sites. Some writers use avatars of handsome men or sexy women to garner more interest in their articles. I would rather they like my hubs, and me, for that matter, because of my writing and not what they see on my avatar.
  
  Besides, I'm so good looking I don't want to be bothered by the ladies, LOL. And too, serpents seem to be able to convince the ladies that they should eat the forbidden fruit even though God told them not to. Now that is the power of persuasion.

  Your pathetic arguement promotes hate in the name of religion without a hint of hipocracy.
  
  Take your sad views to the religious forums and preach there.
  
  Your old pal Jesus used to treat the poor but it seems you conservatives think he should have first asked if it might cost others anything and if the answer was yes, "you're on your own leper."
  Oh I forgot. If Jesus is talking to a leper it would have been in modern day Israel which has a public health system like the rest of the developed world.

  You talk like you have no common sense at all.
  
  Skin color is a matter of race.
  
  Perversion is not.
  
  Someone also asked where the "N" word came from.
  
  I would assume it came from the word Negro, which I believe was simply a descriptive term. It was used in the shorter term of "N--" as an insult, so yes that was really bad!
  
  But it's getting very confusing these days, because so many people say that black people don't want to be called Negros, and it's been changed to African-Americans even though many aren't even FROM Africa.....and now I guess it's just "black", which, to me, shouldn't even be an issue unless used as a term of description when needed.
  
  I compare it to the term Christian.
  
  That term was used in a derogatory manner toward those who followed Christ.
  
  But it doesn't stop ME from still calling myself a Christian, because I know it's NOT really something derogatory.

  Obama was elected by a large majority and HCR was a signature item of the democratic platform.

  The people don't know what's in the bill - because of a deliberate campaign of deception. Congress knows that the people want reform and this qualifies.

  The Shoe-thrower knew that if some security nut didn't shoot him, he might spend years behind bars. As an Iraqi patriot, he wanted to make a statement that was worth the risk. This is called civil disobedience, See Therau on the subject.
  
  The spitter knew that at most, he was risking a few hours detention and a rebuke from a magistrate for his assault.
  
  Yeah, I will buy the show-thrower a cup of tea or a new pair of shoes.

  It should be noted that the term “teabagger” appears on Oxford’s list because of the usage cited on that list, not because of any other meaning. Citations for the political sense were found in a number of legitimate sources throughout the year. As a reference to members of the currently active Tea Party, the word has been used in speech and print by both liberals and conservatives. In this context, the term “teabagger” is a reasonably conceived informal name for an affiliate of the Tea Party, and as a word in the news, it earned a mention for the year 2009. Having deliberated carefully over the word-usage evidence, Oxford’s lexicographers are confident in their judgment that “teabagger” the political term stands distinctly apart from “teabagger” the vulgar term.

OK. Let me get this straight. You want to convince an impartial observer that thre US Congressmen conspired to discredit the Tea Party 'patriots'. The Capitol Police were in on the plot, because they heard and/or made an arrest. And we can believe this because thegroup has a history of such good manners.

Someone posted the link to the story today. The Tea Party 'patriots' posted the incorrect address for a member of the US House of Representatives who voted fot HCR, inviting people to 'stop by'. Someone did and cut the tank to his propane which fortunately did not result in a fire. (The address was to the brother of the US Congressman.)

The defense that if someone gets killed as a result of posting addresses with the veiled suggestion of violence, it's not their fault is bull. The Tea Party Movement at its core is a bunch of thugs who will incite violence when they strike out at the polls.

  When life begins is not a settled matter, and if you were taught that it starts at conception, then you were probably homeschooled.
  
  Science hasn't even decided if a virus is considered alive or not. Judaism (my religion) does not consider a baby alive until it has been born.
  
  Female masturbation does not result in the "spilling of seed." But I suppose you can lock up all women who have a period, you know, with that wasted ovum and everything.
  
  In your worldview, I suppose the concept of human liberty takes a backseat to our primary purpose: being relentless baby-making machines.

U.S. Rep. Stupak, other Dems get threats over health care reform vote

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
ASSOCIATED PRESS

Editor's note: The audio of voice mail recordings left for U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak contains profanity that some may find offensive. The audio is under "related materials."

U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan is among the Democratic lawmakers who have been threatened after voting for a federal health care bill.

Stupak, a former state trooper from Menominee, has received phone messages with profanity, his office confirmed today.

“I hope you bleed ... (get) cancer and die,” one male caller told the Catholic congressman between curses.

In another message, a female caller said, "There are millions of people across the country who wish you ill.”

Stupak received a faxed letter with a drawing of a noose. The note says, "All Baby Killers come to unseemly ends Either by the hand of man or by the Hand of God."

Another note to Stupak includes a racial slur about President Barack Obama.
FBI investigates threats

Bricks have been hurled through Democrats’ windows, a propane line was cut at the home of a congressman’s brother and lawmakers who voted for the bill have received obscenity-laced phone threats in the days before and after passage of the sweeping legislation.

The FBI is investigating the vandalism and threats, which include the shattering of windows at four Democratic offices in New York, Arizona and Kansas. At least 10 members of Congress have reported some sort of threat, though no arrests have been made.

The brick tossed through the window of a county Democratic Party office in Rochester, N.Y., over the weekend had a note attached that said: “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice,” roughly quoting 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater.

A New York congresswoman whose window was smashed with a brick accused the Republican leadership of failing to denounce attacks against lawmakers who supported the legislation. The vandalism was at Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter’s district office in Niagara Falls early Friday, two days before the House passed the health care overhaul bill.

Comment: Can we all agree I hope that things are getting out of hand?

  Brunn:
  
  In 1981 Von Brunn attempted to place the treasonous Federal Reserve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent, citizens arrest. He was tried in a Washington, D.C. Superior Court; convicted by a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys, and sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge. A Jew/Negro/White Court of Appeals denied his appeal.
  
  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/1 … 14006.html
  
  Brunn is a White Supremicist, Anti-Semitic, Birther
  
  Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency.
  
  The reason it sticks out is that, even among Von Brunn's other characteristics -- including heavy streaks of anti-Semitism, disdain for the federal government, and threads of white supremacy -- being a "birther" has a modicum of political credibility.
  
  Certainly, the vast majority of people who are skeptical of Obama's birth in the state of Hawaii tend to be harmless conspiracy theorists. And there has been no suggestion that Von Brunn's distrust of the president's citizenship solely drove him to this violent act.
  
  "In addition to being a birther," said Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, "he also believed that Hitler didn't kill enough Jews. He had a history of anti-Semitic, hateful views."
  
  Indeed a "birther" mindset is more a symptom of extremism than a cause.

• In April 1996, a 38-year-old Scott Roeder — thought to be the same man — was arrested in Topeka, Kans., after Shawnee County police stopped him for not having a proper license plate. Officers said they found bomb-making supplies in the car: ammunition, a blasting cap, a fuse cord, a 1-lb. can of gunpowder and two 9-volt batteries.

• At that time, police said Roeder was part of the antigovernment Freemen group, which engaged in a three-month standoff with the FBI from a remote Montana farmhouse in 1996.

• Roeder was sentenced to 24 months of probation. The conviction was overturned on appeal the next year when a higher court said the police search of his car had been illegal. Authorities have yet to confirm that the present suspect was the man in question.

• Posting on the website for Operation Rescue, which included a "Tiller Watch" feature, a man identifying himself as Scott Roeder asked in 2007 whether anyone had considered going to Tiller's church to ask the doctor about his work. (Operation Rescue's president has denounced the crime, calling it a "cowardly act." The group's founder, Randall Terry, issued a statement calling Tiller a "mass murderer" whose "hands were covered with blood.") Read "Right-Wing Reactions to Tiller Murder."

• Roeder reportedly subscribed to Prayer and Action News, a magazine that advocated "justifiable homicide" as a way of protesting abortion. Read "Understanding
