Maxine Waters: Press Should Probe Conservatives For Racist Views


The Hill: Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it's not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.

"I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed," Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. "I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers."

Maxine Waters is just one of 535 on Capitol Hill who need to be thrown-out of office. Simply "clean house"--even the "good ones". It's the only way we can get a fresh start, and let Congress know who REALLY has the power...the voters who elect these clowns. One more thought: Anyone who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, anyone who thinks this is a legitimate group, is by definition themself a racist. Surely, Maxine Waters would not allow a "white caucus" and would call it racist. But as a member of the CBC she is a racist...and a joke.

I think the point Maxine Waters is making is that with more journalists at these events probing and asking questions more people will make stupid crazy statements that will be used to indict the majority of us who are not motivated by race. The moral of the story is watch what you say

Ya know, outside of trying to undermine one's credibility ( the alleged racist person ) to shut down a debate, what leg do those who cry race have to stand on. Think about it. If one's a racist in his own mind, is it illegal? How about an athiest? A person, generally speaking, is allowed certain unethical behavior in his own home but it becomes unlawful in public, like drunkeness. I believe the same thing applies. If this person ( the alleged racist ) does not discriminate anyone for jobs or housing etc. but holds racist views in his mind, is it really the governments' or anybodys' business. This is the problem with trying to impose "behavior or thought" in a society that ignores God and His message to us. These fundemental religious principles and their practice amoung the people are crucial for man to "opt" out of racist trappings and know in his heart that all races are children of God. But equality was never intended to mean "having equal things" and that is just a simple fact in a free commenwealth that exercises capitalism. Again the moral responsibilty to help the needy should be based in a belief in God and His expectations of us and not for man to impliment or force an attitude and a behaviour onto the people. I believe both the giver and the reciever acknowlege the wisdom in this approach.

Whenever the racist liberals feel that they are loosing an argument, they resort to name calling to try and shift the argument away from the subject they are loosing on. As this gets sillier and sillier, more and more Obama voters are seeing through this tactic and are ignoring the progressives in congress, if not even coming over to our side. People are not stupid; it is obvious that the progressives are buckling under the onslaught of logical argument. Many Americans of color are coming to the conclusion that in the rush to get the first 'black' president of the USA, they got a poor sample! They rejected Jesse, but Obama lied to them; the change they voted for is 'no more Bush', they got 'no more USA'; Yikes!
