RACISM HOAX: Protesters Dispute Reports of Slurs, Spitting Against Dems. "Never did I hear any type of racial slur," said black Tea Party activist...

"Never did I hear any type of racial slur," said William Owens, a black Tea Party activist

A man was arrested for spitting on a congressman. No, he was let go.

Protesters shouted the "n-word" at black lawmakers. Witnesses say it never happened.

A gay congressman was called a slur. Yet he was accused of swearing at someone in the crowd before that.

These are the conflicting claims that have emerged from the series of tense encounters lawmakers say they endured with Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill Saturday, in the final raucous hours before Congress approved the health care reform bill.

Claims that the protesters hurled anti-gay and racist epithets at them tore through the blogosphere in the run-up to the vote and were used to decry the protests, but Tea Party supporters are challenging those accounts, saying they didn't hear them, or at least that those responsible were not part of the Tea Party protest.

"Never did I hear any type of racial slur," said William Owens, a black Tea Party activist from Nevada who joined in the D.C. protests Saturday.

UPDATE- OLBERMANN REPORTS ON RACIST SLUR THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN...

Every black American should join a Tea Party just to annoy Keith Olbermann, who uses blacks to demonize conservatives he disagrees with. What dumb-ass Keith doesn't realize is that MOST blacks are far more conservative than they are progressive. Believe it or not, this IS a display of what we like to call 'intellectual racism,'

The hypocrisy of Olbermann shows what a 'fag' he really is. He calls veterans, seniors and kids who attend tea parties, 'teabaggers,' but he claims the word 'fag' is offenseive. A 'fag' can be anything from a cigarette, a sissy, a wimpy guy, a gay guy or a word you call one of your friends when he won't buy a drink when it's his round. It's just a slang word and even gay men call eachother 'fag' when they're joking around. Give us a break....

We got news for Keith Olbermann, who is about as familiar with the black community as Marsha Brady is; Blacks use the word 'fag' more than Olbermann uses the words Palin, Bush and teabagger. You won't see Olbermann go after blacks for being 'homophobic' because he will most likely get his ass kicked. People have the right to disagree with homosexual behavior if they choose, it doesn't make them, 'homophobic.'

Keith Olbermann is just another white liberal pus**y....

Blacks do not need the Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews and Janeane Garofalo types defending them when claims of racism are out there. Especially these FALSE claims of racism, which is what ALL of these incidents are.

These corny-ass white liberals use blacks, and try to get them to hate conservatives by using false claims of racism against them. Then when there actually is a case of REAL racism, no one believes it because of what the Olbermann's and Garofalo's are doing. They are nothing but racist elitist pigs themselves and blacks should recognize this weak, old, tired game that has been played by white liberals for years.

"WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE KEITH OLBERMANN? WHERE'S THE VIDEO? WHERE'S THE WITNESS? NOT REP. LEWIS, WHO HAS MADE FALSE CLAIMS OF RACISM BEFORE, WHERE'S THE REAL WITNESSES? THE ENTIRE EPISODE WAS RECORDED AND THE AUDIO IS CLEAR. WHERE'S THE PROOF?"

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY BECAUSE IT DIDN'T EXIST. THIS RACIST INCIDENT DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THE 'N' WORD WASN'T USED TOWARDS THE 'CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS OF BLACK DUMMIES.'

What is really pathetic is that somewhere out there, there's a 'dweeb' loser who will actually listen to Keith Olbermann and believe him. Olbermann loves to demonize the Tea Party crowd because politically he disagrees with them. What a fag...

If anyone should be joining a tea party, it should be black Americans.
