Bullshit "Spitting" Incident Appears on YouTube

Remember, after originally claiming to be spat upon (which the media trumpeted as a saliva-rope lynching), Rep. Cleaver then walked back the claim to someone "allowed" his spit to land upon his very dignified personage.

By which he means he was a victim of Say It Don't Spray it, a Class D Felony, though it becomes Aggravated Say It Don't Spray It, a Class C Felony, when "enhanced" by a racial motive.

Now, as much as the horrific crime of Say It Don't Spray it stains this country like blood, or, more accurately, saliva, most 2nd graders learn to handle this heinous offense without police involvement.

This asshole, on the other hand, called in the cops to detain and restrain the perpertrator.

Now the video's up. The guy was just shouting using his cupped hands as poor-man's megaphone, and was shouting as a general matter, not just at Cleaver.

But when Cleaver -- who is apparently Royalty, as it turns out -- suffered the low-tech lynching of a dollop of spittle landing unwantedly upon his princely cheek, he made a federal case out of it. Literally, a federal case.
