GOP Rep. Praises Tea Partiers For Being "Polite And Respectful" | Media Matters Action Network
You guys are ALL class.....
You guys are ALL class.....
Less than 24 hours after news broke that Tea Party protesters spit on and screamed racist and anti-gay slurs at members of Congress, a Republican member of Congress praised the crowd for being "polite and respectful."
Yesterday, Missouri Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver was spat on by a tea partier as he walked through a group of protesters. As Rep. Barney Frank, a gay Congressman, was traveling on Capitol Hill, an angry conservative yelled, "Barney, you faggot!"
And, as reported by Talking Points Memo:
Civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and fellow Congressional Black Caucus member Andre Carson (D-IN) related a particularly jarring encounter with a large crowd of protesters screaming "kill the bill"... and punctuating their chants with the word "******."
