Rep. Carson: Tea party wants to see African Americans ‘hanging on a tree’
Washington Post ^ | 10:06 PM ET, 08/30/2011 | Felicia Sonmez

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.” …

The hate is really controlling them, isn't it? I mean, they are so filled with evil and vitriol it's like it become a living, breathing entity that manifests itself each time one of these racists gets near the media.

Very sad, as their own hate will consume them in the end.

On the bright side, it's pretty obvious none of them have any credibility. The message isn't working, and repeating it only reveals them as the racist haters that they are.

“The federal crime of inciting a riot carries a possible penalty of up to five years in prison a fine.”

Interesting. Here in South Carolina, a small gang of obama’s “peeples” rioted and beat up a white kid in the city of Columbia.

The state arrested the “youths” two days later under South Carolina’s anti-lynching law. Each perp faces up to 20 years in prison. If the victim had died, the “youths” would be looking at a death sentence.

They might just have their hands full with Atlanta, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Trenton, Pittsburg, Louisville, Memphis, Madison, St. Paul, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, etc., etc., etc.

These guys might be dumb but they are not stupid.

But then again I don’t live in New York or Philadelphia, Houston, St. Louis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New Orleans, St. Paul, Madison, Dallas, Seattle,San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, etc., etc., etc.
