Imagine a Jewish member of Congress accusing the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) of wanting to see Jews gassed.
How would every decent American — Right and Left — describe such a statement? Loathsome? Morally reprehensible? An obvious lie?
All three descriptions would be entirely accurate.
Next question:
How much media exposure would that libel be given?
Front page in the New York Times and Washington Post? Ferocious editorials written from coast to coast? Lead stories on TV newscasts?
Correct on all three again.
Final question: Would said congressman be allowed to stay in office?
We all know the answer to that one, too.
So, here’s a real question: If a black congressman charged that members of Congress who support the Tea Party “would love to see you and me [blacks] hanging from a tree,” what is the difference between that libel and the made-up libel about the Congressional Black Caucus wanting to see Jews gassed?
The answer, of course, is that there is no difference.
But because the Left thinks in terms of race, gender, and class rather than in traditional moral terms of right and wrong, and because the Left dominates the media, only one of these two libels would be given the national attention and opprobrium they would both deserve.
Last week, Indiana congressman Andre Carson told a CBC gathering in Florida that members of Congress who are members of the Tea Party want to see blacks “hanging from trees.” Because he is both a Democrat and a black congressman, the liberal news media, which means essentially all our news media, have barely reported what is an almost uniquely vicious libel in American political history.
Given this uniqueness, it demands an explanation.
First, it is meant to create racial tension.

Ironically, you have to go back to Sen. T. Bilbo to find anything comparable.
But as they showed when they were in Cuba kissing Castro's feet, they are Leftist radicals (who will leave race at the door) when they did not ask to meet with the jailed leading black Cuban dissident, Jorge Luis Garcia Perez. So in the end (as it always is) they are first, foremost and always Leftists.
I suppose one of these days civility will be re-enshrined as something worthy of having your mouth washed out with soap by mom should you fail the test.
For now, the more outrageous the comment, the more unbelievable the comment, the more contentious, the better, and exclusive to the leftist persuasion.
Those who are the beneficiaries of these comments have the proof, which will generate further castigation for even bringing up the subject.
The extremists are the ones who want to reign in government spending and curtail it’s power. I still can’t get my head around that logic.
50 Impeachable Crimes and Counting
March 3, 2011, Fred Dandick, Canada Free Press
A few weeks ago I wrote an article From the White House to the Big House: 25 Impeachable Crimes and Counting that detailed 25 illegal acts committed by President Obama and his Democrat cohorts in Washington. It showed a President and political party willing to break the law at will in order to accomplish their political aims. Thanks to reader contributions and conservative writers around the country, here are 25 more for your consideration.
Whether or not any of these troubling examples will lead to Obama’s impeachment and/or imprisonment, only time will tell. Regardless, taken together they paint a picture of an out of control President who lacks basic American values and has little to no respect for the rule of law.
