@aaamerican2 - If the aryan flag was so clearly displayed at the end of the video, why wasn't there ever any mention of it? Because it's the state flag of TENNESSEE, you moron! Rep.Cleaver already admitted that he never said anything about anyone spitting on him. He knew it was an accident because the guy was yelling Repeal the Bill and ACCIDENTALLY sprayed spittle on him. Besides, the cop behind him would have arrested the guy in a minute if he really did spit. Quit spreading rumors, you jerk.

The Constitution is as irrelevant to your stupid argument, as it is to baking a potato.

I care very much about Laws. That's why I make a point of understanding them.

And you're right; I'm so very clever and Machiavellian, that I'll just lie and twist things.

Yet it was you that just lied about the nazi flag thing.

And it's you that has proved you have no idea what your talking about, or even how to express your scattered thoughts.

You really should think, before you type.

Ummm... Do you know what the Aryan Nation flag looks like? Because I don't see it anywhere in that clip, and I've looked very hard.

AND YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE READY FOR A REVOLUTION? You are going back and forth debating whether or not a asshat got spit on or not. What if he did spit on him? People who have done less than the last congress were tared and fathered, or hung on a tree back in 1776. If spitting is the worse thing to argue over yall have nothing.

@aaamerican2, The red flag with blue circle and three stars is the state flag of Tennessee.

makes me sick that Nancy Pelosi used this one incident to accuse the entire Tea Party of such a bad act. She will jump at any chance to put Tea Party down she is such a hypocrite and a liar.

I was video taping from 4 feet away (I can be seen with blond hair, sunglasses, gold shirt). Cleaver reacted to the guy yelling 'kill it, kill it" quite vociferously I might add. Cleaver wiped spittle off his face from being in such close proximity to a screaming individual. I sent my shot in to Brightbart the week after it occurred. Non Queen Nan is reviving the lies. SHAME!

4. If Cleaver felt he was intentionally upon, why didn’t Cleaver simply turn around and tell the PARK POLICE OFFICER STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HIM and report the assault?

5. The alleged spitter was a foot away from Cleaver, why didn’t he spot or confront the man immediately?

6. When Cleaver came back into frame and seemed to be searching for the spitter, why could he not find him since THE SPITTER NEVER MOVED AND WAS STILL STANDING IN THE SAME PLACE?

A masscare committed by a lunatic with no political affiliation is surely the sign of an anti-government anarchist movement rising to prominence. I mean...*sigh*

Did you miss the aryan nation flag go right by, at the end, and people running to go clap.

Ron Paul made a speech and said, "what does conservatism mean", and one of his followers yelled, "white power'.

I'm white, and always wondered why I always heard dumb nigger, dumb Polish, and dumb Jew joke's.... and now I know why.... I heard them mostly in the South too.... where people hate people for the color of his skin.

Never heard them from anyone who was'nt white either.
