Maxine Waters: "The tea party can go straight to hell"
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/21/2011 | Jeff Poor

So much for dialing back the rhetoric, right?

On Saturday in Inglewood, Calif., Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters had some harsh words for the tea party.

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.”

That proclamation was met with cheers from the audience, including attendees sporting purple SEIU T-shirts.

Maxine, Maxine, I’ve already been to “your” hell..Inglewood is a hell hole. Went there once, ran like hell and never went back. That idiot does NOT represent California, as bad as this state is, and its in bad bad shape, this fool only represents Inglewood and that says a lot for that city, can’t go a day without hearing about a body being found or someone getting shot by some gangbanger

Waters is accused of violating House ethics rules by helping to steer Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds to a Boston-based bank in which her husband invested. The bank, OneUnited, bills itself as the “first black-owned Internet bank and the largest black-owned bank” in the U.S., and it received a little more than $12 million in TARP funds in 2008.

I take great solace in the knowledge that “when” the full bore financial collapse happens, her district will be one of the ones burnt to the ground first; by her own voters. YOU Maxine can go to hell first, your own district.

Isn’t it funny how liberal women’s faces always settle into a downturned mouth when they get old? Mom really was right when she said that your face wold stay like that if you made that face all of the time.

The thing about hell is, whether you go straight there or make a circuitous route, you’re still in hell.

After Cynthia McKinney got thrown out Maxine officially became the dumbest member of Congress.


MAD MAX is a distant second to the “Distinguished Gentleman from Georgia” who proclaimed that Guam “might tip over due to weight”.....a very distant second.

The more a politician tells the people to go to Hell, the closer the politiican is to Hell.

The day I start caring what Maxine Waters says about me is the day I eat a bullet.
