Michele Bachman defends Tea Party against Sheila Jackson Lee’s racist accusation

At an NAACP “Legislative Workshop” held in Kansas City on Sunday, July 11, 2010, Houston area Congressional representative Sheila Jackson Lee made the following statement comparing Tea Party members to the KKK.

“I'm going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don't you be fooled. Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don't let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee's braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don't let them fool you on that.”

Then I’ll sidestep any accusation I have of Lee having been in her younger days a call girl for Robert Mugabe.

If we’re gonna go to nonsense, let’s get there.

...Ms. Lee stated, while sporting her new hammer and sickle designed jewelry.

As the article notes, she is also the HOUSTON-based Congresswoman who once asked where she could get a photo of the flag astronauts planted on MARS!!

Obviously Miss Sheila has a problem running her mouth when and where she shouldn't.

Congresswoman Bachman, ignore the racism comment and start talking about unemployment. They are trying to take you off message. There is racism, but it’s coming from the Left, not the Right.

Sheila Jackson-Lee, you can’t unring a bell. Never trust a woman with a hyphenated name ping.

How could her braids be too tight? Isn’t that a clip on hair piece?

I don’t know if it is the braids or the hair piece, but something affects her thinking.

Her braids never look different - always perfect - shiny....it’s a hair piece she clips on.

SJL wanted the National Weather Service to name Hurricanes with African-American sounding names.

I think her hair piece may be screwed on her head with rusty screws that have damaged her two remaining brain cells.
