Rep. Devin Nunes justifies slurs, insults of tea partiers

[RogerOnTheRight]

To be clear, Nunes clearly does *not* justify any sort of bad language or bad behaviour here. In fact, he describes it as "inappropriate".

He does assert peoples' rights to use bad language, however. And when you listen to Joe Biden, Richard Trumka, Nancy Pelosi, and Jimmy Hoffa, among others, you get the distinct sense Democrats entirely approve of bad language.

But Nunes never "justifies" racist language in this video.

"If they want to scare someone thats their right." Typical republican. I will never support these racist bigots republicans. The party of fear mongering. They did it when Shrub was in office and they continue to do it today.

[StoogeWatcher]

@Katsu32 You Democrats are racist bigots. You support rape hoaxes, rap music, quota systems affirmative action, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton.

[DirtFlyer]

This guy is a complete jackass. The Tea Party .... where ignorance, bigotry, and fear mongering reign supreme.

[ScaperSteph]

Rep. Devin Nunes is an asshole.

[random0815]

what has n-word to do with "totalitarian tactics" - oh right, we all remember the totalitarian states run by black american slaves, and not hundreds or thousands say these words but all of them tolerate them in their movement!

[PKR1856]

The republicans have stated they plan to "offer" 120 amendments to this bill...do you think this might be a way to stall and destroy... The guy lies... so badly.

what's this nigger-loving homo retard talking about?

[billeybop]

Representative Lewis has more class between his toes than the entire republican party of bigots! DISGUST & SHAME

[PatricksTime]

Nune has valid points...

where is the video of the spitting and slurs?

[Harb40]

Barney Frank was not called a Faggot, Lewis and the other 2 black Congressmen were not called Nigger. The video shot at the time shows that they lied about it. No one spit on anyone either. Yet the media and the Liberals claim it happened.

Let them show a video were it happened. They won't because they know it is a lie. The videos out there show it never happened.

[happydeathman]

That's right--no video=it didn't happen.

Good lord wingers are stupid.

[Harb40]

@happydeathman

Read what I said idiot. THE VIDEO SHOWED THERE WERE NO RACIAL SLURS OR SPITTING. The CBC cannot sahow proof that it did happen. The black Congressmen said they would not press charges. Why? Because they have no proof it happened. It would never stand up in court.

[lardcarcass]

You are in denial and you are part of the problem in America right now.

[RobbAMitchell]

There were NO totalitarian tactics being used. He justifies it by saying when totalitarian tactics are used people will resort to making racist statements. Republicans were offered many opportunities to act in a bipartisan fashion, and they REFUSED. Even with refusal, Republican ideas were included in the bill. Votes were taken in both bodies of Congress. This is how democracy works. Just because you're side didn't win doesn't mean its totalitarian. What a joke.

[meleeECI]

Hey, we just wrecked the United States by slamming illegal things through the house. Why not make free speech illegal too? Democrats only respect rights when they agree with them. You piece of crap traitors. I hope you all get frigging fried in the electric chair you traitors!

[lardcarcass]

What an insightful argument. I'll take into consideration!

[rg0057]

@2:01 "By God they get to say it"

Actually, no. By the constitution (which makes no reference to God) they get to say it. Maybe. When their speech is likely to incite violence, they DON'T get to say it.

[rg0057]

How, exactly, do you accidentally say the N-word or the equivalent F-word?

[raouldukelives]

Exactly. Just because some guy carries around a curious george doll with a noose around it's neck and screams the N word doesn't make them racist.

[ClassicFilm1957]

Many newspapers (even those left-leaning) have cited 20,000 to 50,000 in attendance. Soros' Media Matters, HuffPo, & their ilk, the most statist of the leftist media sources, are claiming a few thousand. Concerning claims by the left of racial slurs, there's no evidence except for the congressman's word (no audio, photos, video, names) and so, provide some PROOF before jumping the shark. If indeed someone did this, disgraceful, but judging all people on the actions of 1 racist is also shameful.

[MondoManDevout]

Keep showing your true colors Republicans!!!

We know a good chunk of you are closet-racists! Since the Civil Rights era you've been the party of racists and bigots, this is INDISPUTABLE.

[StoogeWatcher]

@MondoManDevout Democrats are the racists and bigots. Democrats support rape hoaxes, rap music, quota systems, affirmative action, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton.

[Z200a]

Conservatives are always lying about how many people show up for these demonstrations. There were about 2000 at yesterday's event. By the end of the week, conservatives will be claiming it was 50,000.
