[UPDATE] Weasel Zipper’s update (via Instapundit) is both accurate and succinct.
(via @allahpundit) You know: if I was a mindless drone who had been duckspeaking for the last week on the DNC-spawned narrative of racial slurs/spitting… well, I probably wouldn’t have the mother-wit to be offended at how clumsily this walkback by Cleaver was presented*:
So now Rep. Cleaver doesn’t people talking about it; and now he wants to act like he was never involved in this issue in the first place. Can’t say I’m surprised. Can’t say that I’m surprised that he doesn’t want to lay any blame at the feet of the DNC’s would-be race-hate demagogues, either…

*On the other hand, the slightly less mindless drones who encouraged said duckspeaking in others probably should feel a little pique at the way that they wasted a week on something that will be disavowed by the Democratic party anyway. At least, one hopes that they will.
PS: I cannot say this too often: GET A CAMERA. Video recording equipment in the hands of the populace kept this story contained. GET A CAMERA. A video record will be an invaluable offensive and defensive tool for your activism. GET A CAMERA. This will be true for the rest of your activist career. GET A CAMERA.
I find it funny Pelosi wit her huge GAVEL, along with the ENTIRE Black Caucus did not go into capitol in the usual tunnel entrances but it was planned and very deliberative .Jesse jackson Jr and others has thei video cameras rolling and scanning the protesters TRYING to start a mob riot. They have no clue most conservatives (not the anti-gov’t fruit cakes) are just every day people who have no real experience. They thought we would be like them. The DNC purposely Picked Obama as a candidate because he is black to use racism if we exposed them to beat us back.
I thought later video shows Cleaver coming back to the area with a police officer in tow trying to find the guy who he couldn’t even recognize although he was standing right there in front of him. Why did he go back? Why an officer in tow?
As a black woman, I can tell you emphatically that Obama is the black poster bar being USED to push a socialist agenda. ALL who disagree are deemed RACISTs. Democrats don’t give a rat’s patootie about Blacks….just a bunch of elitist. Entitlement is the new slavery.
I meant to say Poster BOY…hate saying that though.
