Trumped up charges on tea partiers?

Gee, why would they want to do that? Hm? Maybe because the only way they can discredit those of us grass roots protestors is by hurling charges of racism, homophobia and violence, even when there's video proof to the contrary? And even though THEY, the so-called victims, serve to benefit most by doing so, NOT the tea partiers? Just thinkin.' Remember: anybody can say anything. Over at the Times:

In another incident, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, Missouri Democrat, who is black, claimed a protester spat on him, and that the assailant was arrested by Capitol Police. Mr. Cleaver said he declined to file charges, but police spokesman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said no arrests were made that day. Beatrice Wilson and Lori Macomber, hosts of Blogtalkradio's "All Fired Up," spoke to someone standing next to the alleged spitter, who said, "They were chanting 'Kill the bill' but no one spit on [the congressman]." Police didn't take witness statements, which they would do if they were investigating an incident.
