Congressional Black Caucus Declares War on Tea Party
Hot Air ^ | August 30, 2011 | Howard Portnoy

Posted on 08/30/2011 1:55:45 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Blaze has posted a video montage of townhalls and job fairs held by the Congressional Black Congress Caucus in August that is required viewing. In it, sitting members of the U.S. Congress can be heard and seen inciting violence among their constituents with baseless threats of black lynchings, a return to Jim Crow, and similarly incendiary language.

(VIDEO AT LINK)

The video requires little introduction, though one remark is worth singling out. It is a question posed by Rep. Al Green approximately three minutes in when he asks his audience, “Will we allow a minority voices [sic] to speak for the majority?” Wasn’t the entire raison d’etre for the civil rights movement to give the minority an equal voice in the public square and in government? Is it not at least mildly ironic to hear a member of the minority that spearheaded that movement now call for the silencing of another “minority”?

It appears that these lawmakers understand the actual threat the Tea Party poses—namely, a retrenching of the government handouts that help these politicians win reelection by keeping their constituents down. Will the president call on his colleagues in the legislature to tone down their inflammatory rhetoric? Somehow, I’m not all that optimistic.

"“Will we allow a minority voices [sic] to speak... "

Representative Marxine "No justice no piece" Waters (Socialist-Watts) has told Clarence Thomas that the only minority voice allowed is The Black Racist Progressive Socialist Caucus.

So because they don’t agree with us they have to declare “war” on us? They call us terrorists. They call us un-american. And we’re suppose to just take it sitting down? This is going to get ugly. They don’t want to go there.......

Will this be a battle of wits?

It's not fair when your opponent is unarmed.

Racism is wrong when practiced by ANY RACE.

So would someone explain why there is a “black caucus”? How about the NAACP? Where is the NAAWP? The “white caucus”? Why is it acceptable for blacks to be openly racist, but we allow that racism to be part of our government?

Equality is colorblind.

I’m sick of the race card. Enough is enough.

Parasites?

from Heinlein’s “To Sail Beyond the Sunset” (1987):

“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a “warm body” democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction…. [O]nce a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader — the barbarians enter Rome.”

“Do they really want to go there?”

Yes. Look what they did to the Clintons with it. The race card comes out and we all run and hide. How else do you explain “leaders” like Sharpton, Jackson and Rangel? Marion Berry? They have cowed us into thinking the worst about ourselves and we fear to speak up. We won’t put an end to the race card until we start calling a spade a spade. These people that are inciting riot on this tape are scum. Their color doesn’t matter.

Whoa!!!! Wait a minute!!!!

There are Black members of the Tea Party equal to or greater then the percentage of the population. I know I am one of those you want to exclude! Remember Patriotism is colorblind and I for one will stand with my Tea party brothers and sisters as well as many of our Black Conservatives out here. Just as you don’t like being painted with the same paintbrush as the minority of truly racist folks, I don’t want to be painted with the likes of Al “Shakedown” Sharpton or his ilk

This is the stock and trade of the Democrat party, and has been for decades. They do it in EVERY run-up to an election. They openly race bait, they flat out lie, and they incite people to violence. Then they turn around with false piousness and start spinning the legend of the “Southern Strategy.” Always remember that when a leftist starts shedding crocodile tears over prejudice. Their aim to demoralize you, silence you, and bind you while they continue their nefarious ways unobstructed.

As one who voted for a real American who was black, Alan Keyes, I never felt like a racist but I tell you this administration and the race pimps have pushed, poked, prodded me once too often. They have made it plain as day that they feel there is a difference and they think I am a terrorist.

Well this terrorist will never fire the first shot but if these DNA challenged morons say they are at war with me and dare fire the first shot make no mistake I will fight back and it will not be with words.

The USA needs to be cleansed of the enemy within the Progressives have created on the dumbocrap plantation.

The CBC is just a racist organization no different than the KKK. Both only see race. Both are traitors to the ideals of MLK.

I honestly thought this moron in the WH would be a disaster to the USA EXCEPT in the arena of race relations. I thought his election would pour water on the remaining embers of racism. NO exactly the opposite is being done by these filth in office and they are pouring gasoline on those embers just attempting to bait us into doing something stupid. Well we are not as dumb as they are and will wait for the first shot.

Very well said, Leo !

To the Marxine's of this nation, you are as much, and likely more, an enemy as whitey in the militant vacuum occupying their collective brain case.

You've chosen sides with reason and patriotism, in stark contrast to their inflammatory sedition, terminal entitlement syndrome, and delusional paranoia.

The Tea Party is precisely about those tenets that made this country great, and for which you've chosen to make your stand.
Given the current political/racial climate and your thorny position within it, it's a stand that demonstates remarkable fortitude !

I applaud you.
