At a Town Hall event in Los Angeles, Dem congresswoman Maxine Waters said the president should use the bully pulpit to, "bring the gangstas in, put them around the table and let them know that if they don't come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes, that they've worked so hard for, we're gonna tax them out of business"

You idiot, Waters! You've already taxed our CA businesses out of here.

Take a look around......empty buildings, large and small, everywhere!

Now, let's get rid of the banks, eh? You....are...a....moron and the reason our state is in the toilet!

Waters does what Dems usually do when they're in deep doo-doo---
(1) HAUL OUT THEIR PATENTED VICTIMIZATION ACT
(2) PLAY THE RACE CARD

Waters' Academy award-worthy acting job.

"Pay me, I'm a victim."

==================================================

QUESTION Do her working class constituents know Maxine Waters used their tax dollars to help her and her husband's investment in OneUnited Bank? Her working class constituents should know that their tax dollars were used to finance a luxurious lifestyle for OneUnited bank chairman and CEO Kevin Cohee, including a Porsche and a mansion on the exclusive Pacific Coast Highway.

Cohee's high-flying perks came despite his having been charged in 2007 with felonies after his arrest on suspicion of possessing cocaine, crack cocaine and concentrated cannabis, according to the Los LA County DA's office. The case was dismissed the next year after Cohee completed a drug diversion program.

Cohee was also arrested in 2007 after a woman filed a complaint alleging that Cohee had forcibly sodomized her, according to public records. Prosecutors did not pursue the assault charge.

OneUnited Bank Chairman and CEO, Kevin Cohee
JD, Harvard Law School
Board Member, Boston Bank Of Commerce
Formerly with Salomon Bros, Inc.

I hear that, these days, Cohee has the affirmative action office of Harvard Law School on speed-dial.

A-n-o-t-h-e-r Dem with an idea (/snix)......Congresswoman blames Black Unemployment On Racism

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL)

[MrB]

Pass a constitutional amendment to require congressional districts to be geographically rectangular,

that would fix her and many others in “safe” districts that were gerrymandered in order to assure a “black seat” in Congress.

good question.

Give blacks free houses or we will use the government to destroy your businesses. How is this not prosecutable under extortion and quite a few other laws?

“The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something through force,[1] but additionally, in its formal definition, means the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or making somebody endure something unpleasant.[2]” (from wikipedia: Extortion)

It seems to me that she can be prosecuted even before any tit-for-tat happens, and even though the consequences she is threatening are not physically violent or criminal in nature, since “taxing to death” certainly qualifies as inflicting pain and suffering.

we're gonna tax them out of business.

I take it she's too fevered to realize the implications of what she said - about all taxes.

The source link is misleading. It does not go to Breitbart.tv, but rather back to the same blog link in the excerpt.

And the winner of best costume at the Pimps and Ho’s Ball is......!

[MrB]

Give blacks free houses or we will use the government to destroy your businesses.

I wish someone in Congress would actually have the balls to ask them if this is what they want.

[dfwgator]

“The power to tax, is the power to destroy.”

Welcome to Fascism, folks.

[arrdon]

Free houses, free big screens, free Escalades for ev’body, or you can wave goodbye!! We’s in charge!!!

[RedEyeJack]

Did her ethics investigation “go away”?

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

Sorry about that, grabbed the wrong link. Here’s the correct one, if the admins will edit it in.

I’d edit it myself, if I could.

...Wonder how many legit businesses were started with money made by former drug dealers? Criminal to the core...

Whatever happened to Maxine’s ethics trial for getting a bailout of her hubbies bank?

[no-to-illegals]

Why has this woman not been censured, prosecuted, thrown in jail for her ethics violations. The Ethics Committee of the House has done nothing, or am I wrong, other than charge her? This woman (can’t call her a lady) must have been given special rights, even Rangel couldn’t wrangle.

[scooby321]

Maxine you can't raise taxes in the house.

Frank- Dodd is already taxing the little people on debt cards and other things such as money orders.

If the CBC were actually in charge of Congress, the U.S. would become a mirror image of Zimbabwe within a decade.

Thankfully, the CBC will never have real power in this country.

... her district is no longer controlled by African-Americans. It has a much larger population of Hispanics that may be sick and tired of her screaming nonsense.
