In response to reports that black representatives were called "niggers" by Tea Bagger Protesters, Instadope asks the obvious question, for him, namely, does House Majority Whip James Clyburn "owe tea party protesters an apology?" By way of proof that nobody was called a "nigger," Insty links to K-Lo, who says the Tea-Bag protesters are in fact nice people. He then updates with a link to a brief video that shows people yelling, but not clearly using racial epithets, which he says "debunks the smears," which, you know, it doesn't. Insty is silent on Barney Frank being called a "faggot," presumably because that's been verified by reporters, and so it's harder to pull off the usual double reverse "he likes saying he got called a faggot because he likes the sympathy" stunt.
Later, perhaps in an attempt to show how National this Tea-Bag Uprising of Normal Folks is, Insty links to this post at one of the Big Stupid sites wherein noted Big Stupid Person Jim Hoft shows how sweet and lovely the Tea-Bag Uprisers are in a "rally" outside Russ Carnahan's office, as they do sweet and lovely things like set fire to a picture of Carnahan while chanting "Death to Dictator." Also, as per a video, they throw boots at a can with a picture of Carnahan taped to it, even getting a kid to do it, while a very sweet and lovely grandma-type lady explains that she fantasizes about hitting Nancy Pelosi's head with a tennis racket. The Big Stupid Post is a Big Stupid Hit with the Big Stupid Commenters; one of them helpfully points out the Underlying Irony:
Dangerous white people! [Blacks can kill, rape, mug, assault, steal............................No problem as long as their vote Democrat....................Whites: If they throw a shoe..............well, arrest them!] Too funny!
Which is nutpicking, I guess, but what the hell. I suppose I don't have the high standards of Insty, who, after all, if he had seen a video of anyone throwing things at a picture of Bush at an antiwar rally, would never have made a big deal of it.
