Ferret to the rescue! *SWOOOOSH*

The clip includes audio of Carson saying, "We have seen change in
Congress... The Tea Party is stopping that change. This is the beyond
symbolic change. This is the effort that we are seeing of Jim Crow. Some of
these folks in Congress would love to see us as second class citizens. Some
of them in Congress of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and
me... hanging on a tree."

A spokesman confirmed that it was indeed Carson who made the comments.

"The Tea Party is protecting its millionaire and oil company friends while
gutting critical services that they know protect the livelihood of African-
Americans, as well as Latinos and other disadvantaged minorities," Jason
Tomsci said. "So, yes, the congressman used strong language because the
Tea Party agenda jeopardizes our most vulnerable and leaves them
without the ability to improve their economic standing."
