Congressman Implies Minorities Not Good American People

During a recent meeting on financial reform, one congressman insinuated that minorities are not "average, good American people" and said he was not fighting for people that aren’t responsible, that don’t know what the hell they’re doing or don't care what they're doing." Must have been one of those awful Republicans, right? Nope, it was Representative Paul Kanjorski (D-Pennsylvania).

Everything the democrats do is numbers. They have numbers showing a certain number of people would respond to that & could put him over the top.

It’s all about splitting people up, pitting them against each other, and having them all vote for the D.

I'm more worried about hand outs and all the class-ism.
How about every person gets their vote, then for every ten thousand you earn you get another vote?

Why?, because everyone wants to vote themselves the treasury on the backs of those that work hard IMO.

Does committing a disproportionate amount of violent crime make a group bad citizens? I would say so. If not bad, I would certainly characterize them as a group that shouldn't be emulated. I guess the truth hurts.

I think there’s a great opportunity here for all non democrat minority candidates and elected officials to do an ad to say that there are alternatives to the plantation.

I am not seeing where it was implied. This is the same gotcha parsing that the dems do.

Actually, as I listen to him, I believe what he is doing is implying that republicans think minorities are “defectives”. He is just saying it in an off handed way.

No, he was implying that Republicans think that.

Hannity showed a clip of this yesterday and there was a black woman right behind the speaker who got a sour look on her face and rolled her eyes. So, somebody caught it. What got me is Hannity didn't mention that nor did anyone else on his show.

If they have to use their minority status instead of intellect then of course they are NOT good people.
