Tea Baggers verbally assault John Lewis, Barney Frank

I don't understand why The Kansas City Star and Fox News are the only US news sites which have reported this story about racial slurs directed at Black Congressmen, including John Lewis, by Tea Baggers yesterday (and gay slurs against Frank).

Fox News is also the only one to report any repudiation by Republicans, in their case Michael Steele.
