Racial Slurs, Image of Noose Faxed to Clyburn

House Majority Whip James Clyburn was sent racist messages after Sunday's health reform vote. Clyburn, a veteran of the civil rights movement, told Keith Olbermann, "If you look at some of the faxes that I got today, racial slurs, nooses on gallows, and I'm telling you, some very vicious language." The incident is the latest in a series: This weekend, protesters called one Democratic lawmaker a "n-----" and spat on another, the Huffington Post reports.
