Yesterday, several United States Congressmen were heckled by teabaggers, who used racist and homophobic slurs. One congressman was spit on. Here’s a quick survey of how this story is being presented:

I don’t ever want to hear another Teabagger claim there is no racism within the Teabag movement after this.

Cheers Escribat a great roundup.

Drudge or course is the most hypocritical by far. This is a vote to save thousands of lives.
