Her reasoning: Because blacks used to vote Republican . . . when Abraham Lincoln was president.
“I have no quarrel with the First Amendment and one’s right to speak as one desires,” she said on the House floor. “But I take issue with Mr. Herman Cain’s very insulting and demeaning comment on a whole body politic of people, African Americans, when asked a question why they make . . . political choices as they’ve made. And he chose to suggest that African Americans are brainwashed.”

SHirley Jackson Lee insults me every time she opens her yap!
Don’t ya have to have a brain before it can be washed???
Lee is an ignorant cow. Cain should lay that on her.
Shiela Jackson-Lee is insulted that “I” goes before “e” except after “c” and that her mother was dyslexic. :p
It’s only really news when Sheila Jackson Lee is NOT offended by someone.
Half-wits talk much but say little.

Sheila Jackson Lee is Exhibit “A” for the brainwashing assertion.
If ever a human being has been shaped and conditioned to speak utter nonsense, she has achieved that dubious distinction. All critical thought processes have been completely obliterated, and only stock talking points remain, which are applied to the conversation at hand, no matter how inappropriate or incomprehensible those points may be to the topic under discussion.
“Insulted”, is she? She IS the insult.
OK Shiela, does ‘wrinkless, lobeless orb wash’ work?
Hey Sheila, if you want an insult take off your clothes and stand in front of a mirror.
Well... I’m insulted by Sheila Jackson Lee actually representing any part of the great State of Texas. I’m insulted about how painfully stupid she is, and yet has the ability to serve as a lawmaker. I’m insulted that her district felt that fogging a mirror and succesful use of crayons to color in between the lines was somehow sufficient to place her on a taxpayer salary & pension program.
I am however inspired that a man as accomplished as Herman Cain would the guts to make such a provactive statement; and challenge Obama voters (97% of black voters was it?) to think a bit more critically next time around.
She is insulted because Mr. Cain is implying she has a brain to be washed.
true dat!
Why would you want to insult a mirror?

Her brain is so washed that it has faded into oblivion.
Did NASA ever have one of their Mars rovers take pictures of an Apollo landing as she requested?
Or was that the other(s) stupid black Congresswoman?
Lincoln killed 1865; blacks got the vote 1870
She should be. Sometimes the truth is insulting. The great news is this is one insulting truth that can be altered.
