"I'm not afraid of anybody. ... And as far as I'm concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell." -- Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
Waters' list of insults, vulgarities and blame-whitey scapegoating easily makes her the Al Sharpton of Congress.
Let's go to the videotape:
Waters once said of the then-sitting president: "I would like to ... say ... very clearly that I believe George (H.W.) Bush is a racist." She routinely refers to the Republican Party as "the enemy." She also referred to Republican former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan as a "plantation owner."
She called the 1992 Los Angeles riots a "rebellion," and bellowed, "No justice, no peace!" She defended looters: "There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. Maybe they shouldn't have done it, but the atmosphere was such that they did it. They are not crooks." Waters said: "One lady said her children didn't have any shoes. She just saw those shoes there, a chance for all of her children to have new shoes. Goddamn it! It was such a tear-jerker. I might have gone in and taken them for her myself."
In 1973, the former Black Panther Joanne Chesimard shot and killed a New Jersey state trooper. Found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison, Chesimard escaped from a New Jersey penitentiary and fled to Cuba. Congress passed a resolution urging Castro to extradite her to this country. But Waters wrote Castro a letter, urging him to keep the "persecuted ... political activist" and likened the cop killer to Martin Luther King, since Chesimard had been "persecuted for her civil rights work"!
Waters wrote a foreword for a book, "Dark Alliance," that accused the CIA of playing a prominent role in the Los Angeles area drug trade. Never mind that practically every major newspaper -- The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post -- all examined and rejected the charge. She even pressured former CIA director John Deutch into coming to Los Angeles to explain the CIA's alleged role. During a town hall meeting, Waters bellowed, "If I never do anything else in this career as a member of Congress, I am going to make somebody pay for what they have done to my community and to my people!"
Waters' concern for the drug epidemic affecting "my people" apparently begins and ends with town hall meetings. In the '90s, a joint federal and local Houston DEA task force pursued cocaine-dealing allegations of James Prince, a childhood friend of Maxine Waters' husband. Waters wrote a letter to then-Attorney General Janet Reno calling the investigation racially motivated, and demanded an end to the probe. She succeeded. This infuriated local DEA agents, one of whom later publicly stated: "The Justice Department in Washington turned their backs on a good agent and a good investigation. It appears the object was to get them to stop their investigation, and it appears that worked."
Waters rarely sees a white officer/black suspect encounter she cannot turn into a racial episode. In the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, a white police officer slammed a black youth on his car and later punched the youth because, according to the officer, the teen grabbed the officer's genitals.
Why, shades of Rodney King, according to Waters, who said: "I don't see white police officers slamming the heads of little white boys into police cars. I haven't seen them abusing white males. What I see is white police officers abusing black males, and young black males particularly. Yes, I believe it's racially motivated." Note: Inglewood, a town of over 100,000 people, consists of nearly all black and Hispanic residents. This automatically makes any white officer involved in a scuffle with practically any Inglewood suspect a target of accusations of racial discrimination and police brutality.
The congresswoman can dish it out, but what happens when people fight back? When an anonymous letter claimed that the Los Angeles Police Commission president, at a meeting, called her a "bitch," Waters went ballistic. She unsuccessfully demanded his resignation: "If it is all right for the Police Commission president to call a congresswoman a bitch, is it all right for police officers on the street to call women bitches?"
Waters currently faces an investigation by the House ethics committee. She phoned then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in 2008, asking his office to meet with minority bank owners. He complied. But most of the bankers in attendance were from OneUnited Bank -- a bank in which Waters' husband owned shares and on whose board he once served. OneUnited asked for a special bailout, and three months later, it received $12 million. The basis of the House ethics inquiry is why Waters failed to disclose to Paulson her personal financial interest in the bank bailout.
Waters' tea party attack once again exposes her as one of the most racist, hateful and vulgar members of Congress -- prompting Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum to call her "vile." He was far too kind.
Ahh be so sorry, Maxine girl.
“YO RACE CARD DONE BEEEN DEEEECLLIAHHIND!!”
“...prompting presidential candidate Rick Santorum to call her vile. He was far too kind.”
One can trust a Progressive to be Progressive.
(Mr. Alinsky is proud of all the Progressive members of Congress.)
IMHO
Society takes political correctness way too far when not calling a person on their actions but instead avoids same based on the color of their skin.
This woman is a criminal and a racist and should be afforded no consideration. When will her hearing happen? And what are the possible outcomes? Censure? Heh.
Grow a set and put her behind bars!!!!!!!
The ethics charge is a joke.
No one in the Congress has any intention of crossing this black Harridan, if and when the ethics case comes up it will be treated with kid gloves and she may receive even less than did Charlie Rangel.
Maxine Waters is the perfect example of what the whole of the Black Congressional caucus is. Racist, Arrogant, Crooked,Ignorant,some to a greater extent than others but all guilty, by association if nothing else.
Why the hell Allen West joined this pack of bigots is a mystery to me. They can do nothing but drag him down to their level.
Won't happen. Allen West is a straight arrow. Ask his soldiers. I think he did it to watch the freeks and show how bigoted they really are.
To expose them as the Congressional Black Communists. They are trying to pass themselves off as some black advocacy group, but they're really just a bunch of leftists who circle the wagons around their reflectivity in order to protect each other from ethics charges while they use their positions of power to enrich themselves and their cronies.
Maybe it is entertaining watching a bunch of weirdo queerdos doing their "gender bargaining" as black racist reducing f@gs.
I can see it: "oh, ok, today I made you take my trash out, so I will not blame you for having a lighter color than me and you do not have to pay me a special respect"
Meet the gender and color accountants... and you thought the KKK race regulators were bad... meet the pro-ingroup inbreeding big tent of democrates, one dysfunctional piece at a time. What a circus, and they want America to look “multicultural” that way.
These people are freaks, look like freaks and America better wake up.
When Charles Lollar ran against Steny Hoyer, one of the first qustions I asked him was this: If you are elected will you join the Congressional Black Caucus, and he told me no way. The Caucus is a racist organisation.
Mr. Lollar will be running against Steny Hoyer again soon and I will be working to help him get elected.
Hoyer needs to retire and get off the Government teat that he has sucked on for so long.It’s made him a Millionaire., Funny how a lifetime of politics can enrich a man when their check isn’t that big , isn’t it?
Oh. No. Huh-uh. Of course not.
It's just purely coincidental that just a few short days earlier you were looking for the go-ahead from these same people to start attacking President Bamboozle.
I'm guessing somebody from The DNC called and told Marxine that if she wants their okay to criticize President Urkel, that's fine, but she'll have to run for re-election using the money she raised from the pathetic moochers she helped create.
You are the epitome and embodiment of cowardice, Marxine.
Maxine Waters Needs a Mirror
“Queen of the poverty pimps Maxine Waters must so wish that Obama were a whole white man. Democrat or not, if Obama were white, Waters would be heaping all the blame on those frail little shoulders of his. But because Obama has been presented as “authentically black,” Waters was recently forced to stop short of condemning him. Instead, she unleashed on the closest white item she could find: the Tea Party.”

Sorry Maxine, the guilty white thing's O-VAR with conservatives - and if you keep playing the race card, it'll be O-VAR with liberals soon too.
The LEFT is SO AFRAID of the Tea Party, that they are going more ballistic than usual. It’s a fun crack up to see!
Proof that some have been classed as only 3/5 Hs. A historical label that some are bent on proving true based on their actions.
3/5 Hs screaming to become 2/5 and then less and less.
Yes, the highway to genetic degenerate hell indeed, Maxine...
Orwell described it as the ever shrinking dictionary and control and usage of words...
