40. Spitting in John Lewis' face.

That was absolutely a Tea Bagger, and despite his weasel denial, he did indeed hock one right on the congressman's face when the House was filing in for a budget vote the T-Party didn't like. He was jeering all the reps, but the sight of a civil rights leader in the line was obviously more than he could take.

That doesn't prove all 'Baggers are racist, but all the ones I personally know are. January 2008 really brought it to the surface, and friends whom I never suspected let it be known to me how they feel about African Americans on that date.
