Sounds like Brown is the one with the racist attitude. sheesh.

**She's so bad that, even though she is in a minority-access district, the GOP candidates consistently get about 40% of the vote against her. **
After these comments are made *very* public in your general area, I wonder if there's a chance she could be defeated in the next election...?

I wonder why that group hasn't asked for official recognition? I guess once a member asks for recognition, they kick him out of the fraternity. : )
On another note, it's too bad that Corrine Brown's district doesn't have many Haitians (most Florida Haitians live in Kendrick Meeks' CD in Miami). Haitian-Americans vote Republican at much higher rates than U.S.-born blacks, and the nation's only Haitian-American mayor is a Republican in Dade County. Brown's CD is 49% black and 8% Hispanic and gave Bush 36.1% of the vote in 2000, so I assume that Bush got 10% of the black vote, 40% of the Hispanic vote and 55% of the Anglo vote in the district (after 2002 redistricting added many white liberals from Gainesville). If a GOP congressional candidate can get 62.5% of the district's Anglo vote, 50% of the Hispanic vote and 30% of the black vote, it would be enough to defeat Corrine Brown. What's the name of that really good looking woman who ran against Brown the last couple of times and later got elected to the state house? Jennifer Carroll was it? Maybe this is the year she can become the first black female Republican in Congress (although hopefully it would be a tie with Jackie Winters of Oregon).

If a Republican said this, reporters would hound the Press Secretary and/or Bush for a comment at every opportunity. No they wouldn't. They would demand his resignation.

Brown, another hyphenated american represents the HATE AMERICA crowd whose only allegence is to the country before the hyphen, then all others, dead last is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. I despise what she stands for and those that think like her.

What's the name of that really good looking woman who ran against Brown the last couple of times and later got elected to the state house? Jennifer Carroll was it? Maybe this is the year Better stay in the state house and wait for an open seat, or run statewide. Rep. Brown is 58 and I doubt she's planning to retire for at least another couple terms.
About Corrine, the poor woman has a poll on her congressional site that looks like it could have been FReeper -- but I don't think it was:

More on Corrine Brown's statements (You all look the same)Roll Call ^ | 2-26-2004 | Ed Henry

Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) is refusing to apologize for explosive comments she uttered Wednesday at a closed-door meeting in which she charged that President Bush is employing a racist policy toward Haiti.
In a telephone interview with HOH on Wednesday night, Brown confirmed that she told Bush official Roger Noriega that the Haitian people are in desperate straits because of all you white men who have under-funded relief programs.
Sources in the room for the Florida delegation meeting told HOH that Noriega, who is Mexican-American, took great offense at the comment. Some people in the room felt that Browns comment was also directed at Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), a Cuban-American, who had been helping Noriega brief the delegation on the situation in Haiti.
Do I look white to you? Noriega asked. Does Lincoln look white to you?
According to a source in the room, Brown shot back: You guys all look the same.
Asked whether she said that, Brown told HOH, Yeah, I did. I wasnt speaking of color. Im speaking of policy. Im speaking of racist policy. Racist policy!

Hi, tutstar -- radio 690 gave Corrine's words a prominent place throughout the day, replaying her words top of the hour, every hour.
Sean mentioned this on H&C last night, but did not play the audio, unfortunately.
