Maxine Waters goes nuts on TV, cut-off by chairman
Fox News Live | 2/11/09 | vanity

Posted on 02/11/2009 8:45:38 AM PST by pabianice

Fellow Freepers, you just missed a great show. Democrat Maxine Waters just had a psychotic break during the House grilling of top bank CEOs regarding what happened to the $ 350B they got but somehow never made it to customers.

Maxine -- never the calmest of souls -- got on an incomprehensible tear and, her voice rising and becoming a low-level screech, began accusing the CEOs assembled of piracy, lying, and gross abuse of bank customers. She lit into a litany of every Leftist Lunatic grudge against capitalism in general and banks in particular. Wild-eyed and shaking, she stopped actually asking these poor guys questions and simply yelled accusations at them, telling them to "raise your hands" if they pled guilty. No one could get a word in edgewise. Finally, as Maxine reached the level of Howard Dean screaming at his audience, the chair interrupted and tried to get her to stop self-destructing on TV. Maxine ignored him and kept her screechfest going. Finally, the chair simply stopped her, telling her that she needed to submit her "questions" to the CEOs after the hearing ended. Moment of stunned silence. Then the grilling continued by another, saner Dem.

I hope this makes Youtube. Waters is a raving hatemonger and we need to make sure everyone sees her in action.

Must see video from 2004: Democrats Defend Fannie/Freddie from Regulation:
"We've been through nearly a dozen hearings where frankly we were trying to fix something that wasn't broke. Mr. Chairman we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac and in particular at Fannie Mae under the outstanding leadership of Mr. Frank Raines."-Rep. Maxine Waters, 2004

She says she was in the fight against "red-lining" and in the fight against "predatory lending".

Sheesh.

So she's saying she was on both sides of the issue wanting sub-prime loans made but NOT wanting them too?

She's insane.

Well Maxine is part of the problem—her outrage is for show. I’m outraged like you, but I don’t know what to do about it. I have a bad feeling that things are going to get really ugly in this country. Then our wonderful Dem controlled government can really swoop in and take total control.

No her outrage is real. These Dems have always hated banks and the capitalist rich with an intense passion.

That's why they strong-armed them into making terrible loans that could never be repaid. They are the ones largely responsible for the mess we are in.

Wow...

Anyone remember the "Just Damn..." alerts?

This chick needs to go back on her anti-psychotic meds.

Unfortunately, no. It was her equally psychotic and racist colleague, Sheila Jackson Lee.

But only because Waterbrain didn't address the subject first.

The citigroup president was answering her question but she did not want the answer because he was contradicting her set up. (seems citigroup has a program that does NOT require two months delinquincy to modify)

Waters was clearly unprepared for an answer that was what the ostensivly wanted from the banks.

If the CEO’s had said “we have forgiven all loans and giving race reparations to all black people for the heck of it”, waters would have still ripped on her mental breakdown.

"Waters represents the “beautiful”, “prosperous” area of Los Angeles known as “South-Central” and Watts. I would guess that a large percentage of her constituents are on some type of public assistance."

A large % cannot read or write and they hate you.

This woman is dumb as a bag of cut hair. She couldn’t hold a job in the private sector. Sadly, this can be said for much of our “leaders.”

Just goes to show that there is a difference between the State of Fruits&Nuts (aka California) and the Peach State (aka Georgia). Maxine is still there but Cynthia McKinney, FORMER Congress-critter from Atlanta is not. I’d be hard put to choose between these two for the booby prize but thank God one is gone. The regret is that there is always someone in the bullpen warming up!
