Okay, thanks. Too many initials for me to remember...lol.

I so want this entire scheme exposed. King and Bachmann are the ones to do it.

Steve King is awesome! I’m an Iowan and hear more of what he says (talk radio) than most. He’s perfect for higher office. Draft King?...:)

1. Black

2. Sue based upon “discrimination” or “disparate treatment”

3. Hit the lottery.

What a deal. Can I get in on it? I’m not black and not a farmer, but aspired to be a black farmer when I grew up but was held back by circumstances beyond my control.

Where’s my millions?

Hope the new Republican House will file a bill to “claw” this money back and call for imprisoning the gangsters.

We’ll see if they have the guts to do so.

Steve King has been doing good things as has Bachmann, we need many more like them.

I’m for that! Shut down the payments and investigate the fraud.

from related article in Daily Caller:

Steve King of Iowa, and Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, want to know how it is that over 94,000 black farmers have sought reparations for discrimination, when data show that there are only 33,000 black farmers in the United States?

...Bachmann, King, and Goodlatte spoke to reporters on Wednesday, voicing their concerns and highlighting the contentions of unnamed whistle blowers who have approached them, many of whom estimate that around 80% of the claims filed have been fraudulent

Looting the treasury and killing the golden goose. Obama and pals need a human genome upgrade.

Andrew Breitbart substituted for Michael Savage yesterday and had Michelle Bachman on talking exactly about this fraud.

One of the few REAL journalists giving this story prominence.

Any audio of this out there? I'd very much like to hear it, but am having no luck finding anything.

No it is a payoff, which is a fraud against the taxpayers and a crime when you have an AG who is not owned by the claimants.
This is the third world folks...coming to you in your American town thanks to Obama and Soros.

Michael Savage’s shows are archived on his website. Unfortunately, you have to be a subscriber to access the archive.

The VIDEO of Michele Bachman’s press conference where she essentially said the same things she said on Breitbart’s program ( as sub for Michael Savage ) is here :

2010 would have been the perfect year for Sen. Grassley to retire and for Steve King to run to replace him; no Democrat could beat King statewide this year. Alas, there won’t be another Senate race in IA until Harkin’s seat is up in 2014. Of course, King could make a terrific VP candidate in 2012, being a poised, articulate 100% conservative with plentiful experience and a Catholic from the swingiest state (Iowa) in the swingiest region (the Upper Midwest) in America.
