The Georgia congressman claims a bunch of them called him a nigger. The problem with making such charges these days is that video is often available that shows the incident. In this case ther's not just one but at least two different videos I can't hear any racial slurs.
Was Lewis just making it up? Did he just hear what he expected to hear? Or was there maybe one lone inddividual whose voice only he could hear? Politico reports that one indvidual did direct a homophobic slur against Barney Frank and was quickly shouted down by the rest of the crowd.
UPDATE: I read now that Lewis has compared the events of yesterday to what happened in Selma 45 years ago, back when he was beaten almost to death. The only question now is whether he is delusional or dishonest.

Lewis can't get through a day without referencing Selma. I suspect he hears the N word in his sleep. God bless him, but has he accomplished anything in Washington?
He says they also called him "baby killer," which makes no sense in the context but probably does show how he's still trapped in the 1960s.
