CNN: The longtime congresswoman, whose district includes much of Los Angeles, also described some senators who are opposed to the health care reform bill as "Neanderthals."

"Not only are we going to do everything we can to organize and put pressure on the senators — some of whom are Neanderthals — we're going to say to the president, 'We want you to use every weapon in your basket in order to get those senators to do what they should be doing,'" Rep. Maxine Waters said.

I'd be surprised if Waters knew what Neanderthal meant.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

I didn’t realize that they had affirmative-action quotas at the senate level, too.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sorry Max. IMHO, those who SUPPORT “the public option” are freeloading Communists who want somebody else to pay their bills for them.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

She’s got that ‘Nancy Pelosi fist’ flailing around.

I noticed in this vid...she’s lost that VERY ‘affected’ speech pattern....and doesn’t ‘over-pronounce’ her words (’cause she’s with the right folks). LOL! Another ‘vapid cow’.

"I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry".

Maxine Waters

[SlowBoat407]

Please, Maxine. I prefer the term “Troglodyte-American”.

[kcvl]

Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it’s their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back.”

Maxine Waters quote

0bama has a basket of weapons?

What's he got in there? Some eggs? Yarn? Cheese? Dirty laundry?

[Tzimisce]

That is RACIST!

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’m just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: “Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.

“This cowboy capitalism must stop.”
Maxine Waters quote

“If you ask a young man in South-Central about the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties, he can’t tell you. As you evaluate that whole discussion about what must be done to bring whites back into the Democratic Party, you can see why there is no urban agenda.”
Maxine Waters quote

“I had a wonderful experience recently in anticipation of the second Rodney King verdict where I decided to do a letter to the community about how I really felt. It’s times such as that, that I feel that I’m connecting. And there are other times I’m shocked by what I see and what I discover. And when I’m shocked by it, I think, God, I’m losing it, that I don’t really understand what’s going on out there.”
Maxine Waters quote

Well, they got the fools to vote for them, They should be able to convince them that they should just lay down and die for them. If they were stupid enough to do one they should be stupid enough to do the other.

[Ev Reeman]

I’d rather be a neanderthal than a commie fascist liberal.

“I don’t see white police officers slamming the heads of little white boys into police cars,”

Maxie, you gots to go to a wyatt neighborhood. I saw a little wyatt boy drug dealer resisting arrest. The undercover guys bounced his head off the back of his car until he calmed down. It took about a dozen hits. Boomity-boomity-boomity-etc. Lots of blood. He deserved it from what I saw.

[Doogle]

to quote another FReep who quoted Rodney Dangerfield...”last mouth I saw like that,had a hook in it”

[Antonello]

Woo!

Phil Hartman shoutout!

"What's he got in there? Some eggs? Yarn? Cheese? Dirty laundry?

Lets not forget the real probability of wifey's caviar and lobster.

[Right Wing Assault]

I’ll see her neandertal and raise her an orangutan.

[sport]

Me too but
i did not vote for the bastard.

[pnh102]

Neanderthals? That's the best that this queen-of-all-welfare-queens moron from a USELESS, WORTHLESS, CRIME-RIDDEN DUMP OF A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT THAT THE USA WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT CAN DO?

To that, I say: OOGA BOOGA!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

**Please, Maxine. I prefer the term “Troglodyte-American”.***

#@%$ your hide! Beat me to it!

[evad]

LOL..yeah, and a damn ugly one at that!!

[tina07]

woah, that kid got big!

[cdnerds]

For her... someone may need to call....

[kcvl]

roflol!

Maxine needs to get out more often it seems.

[Ev Reeman]

Sounds like the kid may have been high on something.

[popdonnelly]

And the demonization of the healthcare reform opponents continues unabated.

[Ev Reeman]

Maxine epitomizes liberal weinies and whiners.

[PAR]

What I find particularly offensive is that this b*tch assumes that there is only one right way and there could not be any sort of legitimate position that is not in full agreement with hers. Typical liberal (and Obama) attitude that if you don’t agree with them, you are either acting out of selfishness or are a moron.

[Right Wing Assault]

Sounds like the kid may have been high on something.

Probably a little quality control testing before he tried to sell it to the undercover boys. They were scary looking. Crappy hair, beards, shitty van.

[Mom MD]

In this case, it certainly takes one to know one.

[GingisK]

'We want you to use every weapon in your basket in order to get those senators to do what they should be doing...

Yo! Maxine! They are supposed to be representing their constituents, not commanding them.
