Also Say Tea Party Members Are "Rubes From the Backwater"

Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that the main stream media are falsely portraying “people who are in the Tea Party movement as toothless hillbillies, as rubes from the backwater, who don't know what they're talking about.”

Bachmann was asked by CNSNews.com if she saw or heard anything at the Tea Party rally on Capitol Hill the day before the health care bill was passed that was consistent with the widely reported claim of Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) that attendees at the rally had shouted racist remarks.

“I did not,” said Bachmann.  “We had over 30,000 people here on a Saturday (March 20) at the west side of the Capitol, a tremendous group of individuals trying to get the attention of Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats saying, ‘Don't take away my health care from me.’ I met with--The media tend to portray the people who are in the Tea Party Movement as toothless hillbillies, as rubes from the backwater who don't know what they're talking about.”

 Bachmann contested that characterization. “I met surgeons, anesthesiologists, family practice guys, interns. I met pharmacists. I met business owners, lawyers,” she said.  “I met people from all walks of life--political people, 75-year-old women who came out. I didn't see any indication of racial tensions. I didn't see any indication of being personal, against personal members of Congress.”

 “What I saw were people that were fighting for their constitutional liberties and fighting for our country,” said Bachmann, “and I think it's a tremendous affront trying to castigate people who are fighting for our country as somehow being racially motivated. I didn't see that at all.”

Clyburn and others have made unsubstantiated allegations.  No one has come forward with video of any of the allegations made by the socialist Democrats.  Pelosi and crew deliberately tried to cause a reaction from the tea party members and had video rolling in hopes of shedding bad light on the movement.  Even with a large reward offered no one has come forward with proof. You be the judge if anything happened.
