Waters has a criminal violation. There’s a difference.

[ozzymandus]

Whitey’s fault. Maxine didn’t give no money to her husband’s bank, that be a lie.

[b4its2late]

The press is doing the work of its right wing owners. There was no ethics violation.

Bush's Fault!

Da Man puttin’ da heel of his expensive Italian boots on da neck of a good woman who ain’t done no hurt to nobody. I got a pain from dis, brothas!

It has nothing to do with conflict of interest. It is a case about race.

Of course it is, it's always about race with these people.

[dalebert]

racist

[AlphaOneAlpha]

I can't take these clowns seriously.....they've lived their lives expecting their indiscretions to be overlooked and they're weaknesses tolerated. And that's what they get from the Dem party which as a result has put them back in the plantation model.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Shouldn't this posted under humor? ;-)

"The press is doing the work of its right wing owners."

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What right wing owners?

There was no ethics violation.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It makes the Democrats look corrupt.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! They ARE corrupt. It's a prerequesite to being a Democrat.

There are more than eight ethics investigations being pushed against members of the Congressional Black Caucus. This is 20 percent of the Black Caucus.

Then 80 percent are getting away with something.

The Black point of view can seldom find public expression except in the Black press.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The Conservative Black point of view can seldom find public expression except in their own personal blogs.

White people own and dominate both the print and electronic media.

I'm just waiting for the cry of "Da Joooooos! Da Joooooos!" (maybe that comes up in the linked part of the article, of which I'm not interested in clicking)

Congresswoman Waters has no ethics violations

Hahahahahahahahahahahah(gasp)hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah(gasp)hahahahahahahahahahahah!

[Lorianne]

How nutty.

I have no idea if Waters is quilty or not ... she’s presumed innocent until found guilty IMO

But the idea that people will commit crimes or ethics violations in exact proportion to their numbers of a particular group in a larger body of persons is preposterous!

Debro is an idiot ... and there is no presumption of innocence there.

[pallis]

“The press is doing the work of its right wing owners.” ...Please! You kick over a media rock, and nothing but leftest maggots and commie cockroaches scatter. Maxine Waters is as corrupt as they come. Joseph sounds like the sort of guy who would know first hand about favors and corrupt money from backroom deals. He is fighting for his sleazy partner.

[jongaltsr]

I can’t really tell if he is serious or not.

He seems to defend ol’ Maxine but his logic and facts are so 180 degrees out of phase that he sounds like he must be talking “tongue in cheek”.

How could he say that the Ethics Committee is 50/50 Republican/Democrat but that the Democrats are less active and effective than the Republicans. My experience is that Democrats jump and shout to cover up any (ANY) wrong doing one of their members has supposedly committed.

When it comes to ethics I would imagine that they would be yelling race race race at the top of their lungs and not quietly sitting by letting the evil white Republicans rule that committee.

Is this Joe Debro actually serious, is he totally out of phase with reality (seeing opposite reflections of reality) in “His” party of choice, or is he just having a good laugh at Maxine’s expense?

[rawhide]

There are more than eight ethics investigations being pushed against members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Hmmm? Do these blacks feel entitled?

[jdsteel]

Joseph Debro, based on this writing, is either a complete fool or assumes that everyone else is fool enough to believe these illogical ramblings. Either way, his words are meaningless.

[DPMD]

Uh, Joe, if blacks are being targeted exclusively for ethics crimes, you must be saying that there are plenty of white ethics criminals in Congress.

Names. Give us names. Or else quit yer bellyakin’.

[research99]

As a "Minority Contractor" the writer has a financial conflict-of-interest.

His income, and the income of members of his organization, derives from minority set-asides in government construction contracts (which the Black Congressional caucus routinely lobbies for).

Blinded by his own self-interest, it's not surprising that he couldn't see a conflict-of-interest in the charges against Maxine Waters.

Congresswoman Waters has no ethics violations

There, fixed.
