Anti-health care teabaggers show true colors call Rep. John Lewis a "N*gg*r" & Rep. Barney Frank a "F*gg*t"

In case you had any doubt that the Teabaggers were nothing but a bunch of hateful intolerant bigots check out two reports today from their "kill the bill" action on Capitol Hill today:

From The Hill:

-snip-
Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.) claimed Saturday that healthcare protesters at the Capitol directed racial epithets at Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) as he walked outside.

Carson, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus along with Lewis, told The Hill that protesters called Lewis the N-word.

Tea Party protesters held a rally outside the Capitol on Saturday, which included speeches by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and actor Jon Voight, and then proceeded into the halls to lobby members at the 11th hour.

From Talking Points Memo:

-snip-
Not long before, Rep. Barney Frank got an uglier version of the treatment. Just after Frank rounded a corner to leave the building, an older protestor yelled "Barney, you faggot." The surrounding crowd of protestors then erupted in laughter.
-snip-

I would hope that Rep. Michelle Bachmann and other Republicans who welcomed the Teabaggers to the Hill condemn these actions immediately and send their apologies to Representatives Lewis and Frank.

Ignorant people with these narrow views are what are holding this country back.
