And this has nothing to do with "it bleeds, it leads" this is all about pushing an agenda and a point of view.
That's pretty much what I was saying.
Certain media allegations are trumped up falsehoods and nothing more. "The story behind that picture just proves how far a media outlet will go to make up a dramatic story."

All I know is the MSM and libs are a lot more upset and ready to judge people with conservative view points based on an unproven racial slur at a gathering of thousands of people, yet they downplayed a known statement by Harry Reid (D) few months ago.

Don't you people see the hypocrisy in that?

Question to you assumption: Could a white male carrying the same weapons dressed in a white shirt and tie be able to participate peacefully at a gathering for Pro-Heathcare rally?

No.

White people would be called (already proven by the media, politicians, and some folks on this board) racist bigots.
Black, hispanic, asian people would be invisible. Obviously invisible because those same folks that like to use name calling as their tactics can never seem to see them.



Yes, very sarcastic answer :)

Back on the original topic: Andrew Breitbart has offered $100,000 to anyone who can produce video proof of these alleged slurs, including the supposed use of the "N" word that one member of the Congressional Black Caucus said was yelled any number of times.

Of course, nobody has come forward to provide such proof or claim the money -- even though there were LOTS of cameras and camera phones in the crowd that day (as seen in news video).

I think that pretty much proves this was the usual lib tactic of yelling race when they don't get what they want or see a threat they can't deal with logically.

At the risk of answering an unrelated question to this thread....... why not? And no sarcasm intended. I don't remember mentioning race. If I'm not truthful you'll never know, will you?

Who the hell are you to demand an explanation? That photo was used on a completley different thread. Subject: The 2nd amendment.

Black people involved in the tea party movement getting castigated by who? Fellow tea party members? Nope. Their own so called racial brothers.

"I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government.
As BSCbunk said they are the klan. I can't recall, were there any black members of the klan? Help us out here BCSbunk.

I don't think Belly "demanded" any explanation any more than what you did. Fair is fair.

I've seen this type of hatred in action -- and it's not pretty. Blacks who are conservative are simply ostracized by their more liberal brethren. But they, that's okay because, you know, blacks SHOULD be liberal. :)
