This Is Not Acceptable Behavior

When some of our members of Congress were walking into Congress this weekend they were greeted with protesters who screamed out the "N' word ( they were men of color ) or the "F" word ( the one that rhymes with maggot rather than the one that rhymes with luck ).
This is not acceptable behavior. What is it about our bi-racial President and this Democratic Congress that brings out the racists and the bigots? It is troubling to see, not only these lowlife gutter scum screeching out horrid slurs, the response from the right and that includes the supposed mainstream of the Republican party.
I have friends who are Republicans. In fact my very best friend online is a Republican and I love her dearly. I think that others and she should join the Democratic Party. If they do not care for the platforms on social issues then they need to find or join a Conservative Democratic organization to address those issues. But their party is falling apart when it takes its platform from a tv station owned by an Australian man who already owns the media in his home country.
Regardless of what party, there should be no room in any party for derogatory slurs directed at members of Congress concerning a person's race or sexual orientation. It is not acceptable behavior in polite society. Even if you do not agree with someone there is no excuse for that sort of language, that sort of disrespect.
Unless one is lowlife gutter scum.
