As it turns out the MSM made a big tadoo about nothing. Shocking I know. It seems that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver was not purposefully spat on. Which is a little different than what the MSM has made it out to be. If you read or listen to what they say Rep. Emanuel Cleaver was not only spat upon, but shot, drug through the streets and called every name in the book by everyone of the HATE filled Tea Party people.
Here is a great article @ the Left Coast Rebel in which he covers this very topic.
