Am I the only one that is disgusted by all the coverage claiming that John Lewis was called a racial epithet while leaving the Capital with NO proof of this happening? Cameras were everywhere yet NONE of them showed anything! Law Enforcement was everywhere yet NONE of them heard anything! As a lifelong resident of metro Atlanta I have seen black Democrats hurl charges of racism time after time with no regard to who they are slandering. Are there any of Lewis' constituents who find this reprehensible?

The most unsettling thing about this is the absolute corruption of our national media. New sources from one end of this country to the next reported this story as fact without having any proof. Where are the journalist? Where is their integrity? Are they all so completely in the tank for the Liberals/Democrats that they are uncapable of being objective?

If a Republican/Conservative made such a charge I can guarantee you that it would be gone over with a fine tooth comb! Endless coverage would be given to discrediting it! The double standard of this should disturb any objective person regardless of their political affiliation.

The beauty of the power of those who play the "race card" is that truth and evidence never have to enter into the conversation. The mere possibility and appearace that it "could happen" is enough to accomplish their goal.

The whole thing was contrived. Lewis, Cleaver, and Jackson Jr. have built their careers on "racism". No suprise they threw down the card in order to help boost Obama's agenda over the top. There is a huge void in Congress where honor should exist.

I can tell you watched Hannity last night, as he said the same exact thing you are saying, very original.

Sadly that is true. It won't matter if no evidence ever emerges, the damage is immediately done once the charges of "racism" are made. The burden of proof is never on the ones making the claims either.

Unlike you I dont need a talking head to tell me what is painfully obvious! Lewis is a proven race-baiter and the main stream/national media is a corrupt disgrace!

My hope is that the crys of "racism" will continue to be marganilized to the point where it is like the boy who cried wolf and no one pays any attention to the race mongers like Lewis who claim it at every opportunity.

Racial ignorance transcends any political party.

Somehow I get the feeling that you are also of the mindset that there is no problem with racial epithets being hurled at anyone, thus the "double standard" card.
