Concerns of Black House Members Helped Spur Rebuke of Wilson
Luxlibertas ^ | 16 Sep 09 | James Rowley and Brian Faler

A plea by California Representative Laura Richardson that House Democrats respond after Republican Joe Wilson shouted “you lie” at President Barack Obama last week helped spur her party’s leaders to action.

The “careful but passionate” words delivered at a House Democratic caucus the morning after Wilson’s outburst by a black lawmaker who rarely speaks at such meetings carried such an impact that “you couldn’t ignore that message and that input,” Representative John Larson, the Democratic caucus chairman recalled yesterday.

Shown Disrespect

Wilson “kind of winked at that element” of society that has shown disrespect to Obama because of his race, Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson said yesterday. “He said it’s OK.”

“We will probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again, riding through the countryside intimidating people,” Johnson said. “That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked.”

Former President Jimmy Carter said yesterday that Wilson’s outburst was “based on racism,” the Associated Press reported.

Unbelievable!

The "Rebuke" is now shown to be such a joke.

It makes Wilson out to be even more of a hero. Pelosi wanted to drop this issue like a hot potato and "move on to Health Care." The blacks in Congress would not let her!

The democrats are controled by the black caucus through intimidation and the entire house is controlled by extension.

Welcome to America where a minority group of petty thugs run the show.

We will probably have idiots like Mr. Johnson forever intimidating people with this racist crap unless "this kind of attitude" is not rebuked.

Congressional racists identified and they weren’t the one rebuked.

Concerns? Give me a break. This was petty political theater.

Ah, so the CBC wanted Joe Wilson rebuked for telling the truth.

But they have failed to call for action against Charlie Rangel for lying on disclosure forms.

Gotcha.

I can’t think of a single black member of congress who isn’t a radical leftist or outright communist. Damn near every one of them is allied with groups and individuals who seek the destruction of the U.S.

But, when the same disrespect was shown to Bush, they could ignore it.

Wilson “kind of winked at that element” of society that has shown disrespect to Obama because of his race, Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson said yesterday. “He said it’s OK.”

And who was Pete Stark (D-CA) winking at when he did the same thing?

The rebuke was always a joke. The racists in Congress determined to play the race card as long as long as they can in supressing dissent against Marxism. Unfortunately, seven GOP House Members played along.

From the website of the Workers World Party:

"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il...

With his leadership [Kim Il Sung], the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine. ...

Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ..."

With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party" (1994):

Photo of Charlie Rangel at the podium of a March 19th, 2005 Workers World Party/Troops Out Now rally in Harlem, New York. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. The photo comes from the ("We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...") Workers World Party website.

Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ. -etl

GOP Rep. to Obama: 'You Lie!'

I just had to watch this again. The reaction of Biden is shocked and then disappointed that the propaganda message was being subverted.

Nazi Pelosi, however, looks like she wants to rip out the eyes of her divorce lawyer who just told her she won't get be getting the house.

Laura Richardson...isn’t she the one that defaulted on her mortgage while making $170,000 a year as a Congressthang? Michelle Malkin was all over her for a while on her incredible hypocrisy during the “housing bailout” fight last year.

It is a joke! However, look at this — some of the Dems in the House did NOT want to go along with this, but they all joined forces when the Black Caucus put up a stink. Liberal guilt? It’s their voters, holding them by the nards.

Fast-forward: the Dems vote in the Health Care bill, regardless of HALF the country, because the Black Caucus screams and demands it. And the libs are beholden to them.

oh, so very ugly.
