As predicted here..a Republican (Nunes) blames the Dems, says that it represents only a few.
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 01:12 PM by Stuart G
As predicted here in this forum, (I cannot recall the thread, sorry) a Republican has bascally come to the defense of those that spit and use racial slurs...

Huffington Post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/21/health-care-vote-live-upd_n_507238.html#s75012




Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) came to the defense of the racists and bigots who shouted slurs at members of Congress Saturday. The Tea Party protesters shouted the ‘n’ word at African American members of Congress the ‘f’ word at an openly gay member.

Rather than condemn the anachronistic behavior, Nunes blamed the Democrats, saying that they make people do and say crazy things with their tyrannical behavior.

“When you use a totalitarian tactics, people, you know, begin to act crazy,” Nunes told C-SPAN’s Steve Scully Sunday morning when asked about the slurs. “I think that people have every right to say what they want. If they want to smear someone they can do it. It’s not appropriate--I think I would stop short of characterizing the 20,000 people protesting, that all of them were doing that.”

5. Standard con tactic, accuse the other side of what you yourself are doing
after all who fed the public all the non sense to stir them up in the first place. There was so much disinformation and fear mongering about the HCR bill I'm kind of surprised the bill has gotten this far.
