A leading member of the Congressional Black Caucus is standing by incendiary language he used at a recent town hall when he charged that tea-party aligned members of Congress view African Americans as “second-class citizens” and would like to see them “hanging on a tree.”
Rep. Andre Carson’s (D-Ind.) office confirmed that the lawmaker made the remarks at an Aug. 22 CBC Job Tour event in Miami and said that the comments were “prompted in response to frustration voiced by many in Miami and in his home district in Indianapolis regarding Congress’ inability to bolster the economy.” …

Carson represents an urban district in Indianapolis. He is just like his Aunt Julia Carson. The city of Indianapolis, like most other big cties is not safe to be in.
Andre Carson is no leader. The reason he is in the House of Representatives is that his grandmother held the seat for years. He is obviously lying, and this isn’t the first time. You can form your own conclusions about his character.
More “civility” from the Left. This is Gobbel’s “Big Lie” theory in action. Repeat the lie enough and some people will start to accept it as the truth.
I am sick to death of this race baiting BS.
The tea parties were actually spawned by discrimination-against the private sector.
I went to the first tea parties in dc, it seemed to me the common trait was the sentiment that the government was making war on capitalism.
Employers, entrepreneurs, and investors have become the new negroes.
Hate speech pure and simple...also TGO outed this clown last night as the advance wave of Muslim extremists trying to overthrow the USA...IMO Obama comments this week on the Joyner show about ‘mobilization ‘, Mad Maxine’s tea party rant and this losers spew are all part of the 2012 reverse rascist attack plan orchestrated by the Alynskyites in the White House....
...”is Rep. Carson suggesting hanging african americans from a tree would accomplish this?”...
I believe he trying to stir up violence against his political opposition. His own party should very publicly condemn his words.
Who are the members of congress who told him this? No names, just lies. He is he one who, while walking with Pelosi in DC, accused the Tea Party of more lies and there was no proof to be found. Someone offered a $100,000 reward for proving anything he said was true. No one got the money. It would be the same thing this time. He couldn’t prove his statements then and he won’t be able to do so now. He is stiring up as much hatred as he possibly can.
This uncivilized fool is yet another in a long list of insipid moronic clowns who will race-bait until the cows come home. The cows are coming...2012.
Jacobs installed julia Carson, Andre's grandmother in that seat and ruled it through her for years, hell she was so sick she couldn't even vote in the end her staff would register the votes for her.
Both Andre and his grandmother have been challenged by black conservatives and the races have been close.
The more Andre beats the bushes of racism, the more vulnerable he believes his position is. The only way he can continue to win is by screaming racism loud enough he can get otherwise lazy voters to the polls.
It is no surprise, I've not seen this mentioned in the Indianapolis Star, Gannett publications take care of their own.
I honestly hope Andy Jacobs has lost the ability to control his boy Andre and the muslim, racial rhetoric continues, it might just motivate the opposition this time.
Also of note Andre is not a muslims, muslim....he is one of Farrakahns boys and that truly makes him dangerous.
No offense, but I think that you might have it backwards. The race riots will begin next summer, well before the elections. The President will be “forced” to declare Martial Law, as more than a dozen cities burn to the ground, suspending the Constitution as well as any elections.
Why do you think that smug bastard is so confident.
Which one is she?
The rioting would take the whole Dem party with it. For this reason, the Dems may promote a primary challenge to Obama, figuring that if O loses primaries in state after state over a period of months, then it will be less likely to trigger nation-wide rioting than if he loses all at once on election night.
I believe and have believed since obama took power that unless he [obama] and the Democrat Party are sure that he will not be re-elected, there will be no election in 2012. How they will do this, I do not know. But one thing for sure is that he has somethingup his sleeve.
The congressman clearly sees defeat.
He sees the Congressional Black Caucus downgraded from a bonifide group and treated like black boys forced to meet in the Holiday Inn Capiotl Hill restaurant
We can expect more of this crap as 2012...to incite hate and violence against the Tea Party (aka The American People). Despicable and outrageous, but not surprising coming from the Left. Hatemongering is their modus operandi. Scary - this is a member of Congress - shows you what the Democrat party has become.
I think quite a lot of well armed people will have a lot to say about that....
Yet these same political scum, who exploit race for political gain, will turn around and whine hysterically if you point out their rhetoric is exactly what fuels the “flash mob” racial violence.
