Comments on Advance Indiana™: Carson Likely Fabricated N-Word Claim

I wonder why 'itgesq' has 'no doubt.' Have we also struck down the presumption of innocence? Just another of those pesky Constitutional rights, eh?

A good observation was made today - if the 'n' word was hurled, wouldn't at LEAST one person have turned and looked in the direction they thought it came from? Wouldn't someone have stopped, or at least altered their gait upon such a vile assault? Yet none did - they marched right through, unflinchingly, looking straight ahead except for one guy who got into some sort of shouting match for a moment. And that one can be pretty clearly heard to NOT be an 'n' word incident.

And then we have the IBEW egg-throwers along the route to Searchlight, NV. A guy caught redhanded on tape actually holding an egg, but calling out a TEA Party supporter as the thrower, as if that makes ANY sense at all.

Sorry folks, the Dems are playing their smear and discrediting campaign and it's all being recorded and shown for what it really is.

Spare me. I have no doubt the word "nigger" was spewed at the congressmen. Some of the "tea party" protesters are whack jobs, just like some of any protest group (right or left). The fact that the congressmen decided to take a walk in public to show how out of control the opponents are is simply good use of publicity. If you recall your history, it is the crazy reaction to civil rights walks that turned the mainstream for the Civil Rights bill of 1968. The fact that Congressman Lewis would use the same technique to make people look bad is no surprise.

Comments about 500$ cars with 5000$ stereos really just make you look worse.
Repeated denials and accusations of LIAR!, RACIST! don't help, and actually make people believe it even more. The fact that extreme behaviour by protestors has happened in the past, and that these Tea Party folks have shown up on nation media fully armed, merely ensures that cameras will be handy to film some kind of violent episode.

Frankly, blaming the congressmen for walking in public is a bit like blaming dog bite victims for provoking a dog by being there. If your protester can't "say it not spray it", don't you think he might look a bit on the crazy side?

I bet I hear the word nigger 2 or 3 times a week from some guy driving a $500 car with a $5,000 sound system, and the majority of the drivers are black.

Andre has a history of creating controversial incidents. When this was first reported I doubted its validity.

It is hard to know the truth about reported accusations of name-calling, when political tricksters are involved.

2010-03-30T19:46:59.312-05:00

And the accused can't even counter-claim they did not make the statements they are accused of because of yet another baseless assertion - that they just wouldn't openly admit they are racists.

This is eerily similar to 15th century witchhunts.

"She's a witch!"

"No I'm not!"

"Don't believe her, she's a witch and she's just trying to trick us!"

How much longer before they get around to burning 'racists' at the stake?

2010-03-30T19:23:31.368-05:00

The Left has been doing everything it can to marginalize tea party protesters. It's been one smear after another. Carson knew he could claim he was called a nigger and he would be believed because that's what the Left wanted to hear. That's how they perceive these people.

2010-03-30T17:56:09.581-05:00

By the way, they usually make their way to the Capitol via underground tunnels. Yet that day they decided to parade through the streets.

I suspect the whole thing was planned and executed as just another attempt to denigrate the TEA Party followers. They are a threat to the Democrats. Can't silence them, so try to paint them with a broad brush of racism.

Just another form of bigorty.

If Carson were really enlightened, he would be all for the repeal of drug laws. That's how we end the violence which is associated with underground black market trade and not the drug itself.

You don't have people killing each other iin the black market over coffee, cigarettes, or a glass of wine.

THAT is how to clean up our streets. RE-LEGALIZATION!

2010-03-30T16:51:15.922-05:00

What Carson said in an interview with Ruth Holladay:

Carson, 33, said today in a phone chat that he was influenced, as a teen-ager, by the biography of Malcom X, and by NOI members and an offshoot group, the Five Percent Nation or the Five Percenters. Both the NOI and the Five Percenters were active in Indy, trying to clean up its mean streets during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Nation of Islam and the Five Percenters were feared by the drug dealers in his neighborhood, said Carson. The fact that those groups took a stand against drugs and the dealers earned respect among "the elders," including Carson's grandmother. "They were cleaning up the neighborhoods," and that was an appealing idea.

Carson said his grandmother came into contact with NOI members as well during her years at the Center Township Trustee's Office; that's where she first got connected with Minister Farrakhan, he guesses. "Some employees there (trustee's office) were affiliated with the nation. Others were orthodox Muslim. Others were Christian."

As a Black Republican, I feel a need to comment on this post. We can not truly know if this incident occurred but we must be sensitive to any claim of racial discrimination and down-right hate. Sometimes folks within my own party seem to forget how much this word has been a cancer within America. Just because a Bi-racial President has been elected does not mean that racism has been eradicated, in fact I feel race has become even more of an issue because some feel that Blacks should "just get over" generations of injustice now that we have a so-called Black President. Even if this did not occur, here is my advice to my fellow conservatives; learn to leave that which you do not understand alone. Until you've actually be called a nigger (which I have, on several occassions) you can not begin to understand what that does to a person.

Gary, I do believe Andre Carson is as racist as they come. I don't think my opinion or wishes matter to him because I'm not black.

I don't like it that he doesn't stand up for blacks and their views who are conservative.

Howwever, I'm not going to judge him based on what his cousin does.

2010-03-30T15:34:47.225-05:00

Andre was raised to hate white peope (he admits being a member of a group as a teen-ager that promoted racial division) so the fact that he would falsely accuse patriotic Americans of being racists comes as no surprise to me. His cousin has been imprisoned for committing one of the worst hate crimes in Indiana history against two Hispanic males.

2010-03-30T15:32:18.934-05:00

Carson also echoed the fabrication that 11,000 jobs will be created by stimulus money used to finish 4.5 miles of the Cultural Trail.

The truth? Well that means nothing to Congressman Carson.

2010-03-30T15:30:32.713-05:00

I don't recall that Carson said a thing to defend this young man who was called "nigger", beaten up (on video), and sent to the hospital. The incident took place outside a Healthcare Reform Town Hall last year near St Louis.

Where was Andre Carson's outrage for this black man called nigger, beaten, and sent to the hospital for both his race and his healthcare views?

I confronted Wilson on this matter on Abdul's blog the other day. Wilson had no words of compassion for this man or outrage over what was done to him.
