Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Blasts Barbara Boxer for "Condescending" Racial Remarks-Video-MUST See
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | 7-16-09

Posted on 07/19/2009 3:57:35 PM PDT by STARWISE

Here is explosive video of the CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce in a fiery exchange with California Sen. Barbara Boxer. Black Chamber of Commerce, President and CEO Harry Alford accused Senator Boxer (D-CA) of playing race politics during an EPW Committee hearing on green jobs.

He accused her of using "condescending" racial remarks because she tried to counter his testimony by using quotes from several "black" organizations and individuals such as the NAACP.

Alford was upset because he wanted his testimony to stand on the merits of the evidence and not be countered by Boxer thinking his testimony could be dismissed by just quoting other "black" organizations with a different view.

Good for Alford! For once, someone actually called a Democrat on what they love to do. Boxer was using racial politics here as so many Democrats have done for years. This time - it backfired big time!

He was doing that on purpose! He's a vet who took offense to her lashing out at the General a few weeks ago. He knew exactly what he was doing. If she had lashed out at him the same way as she did the General... oh man. He would've torn her to shreds! Way to go. Nothing like a little pasive aggressive behavior on occasion!

Apparently the Brigadier General that Boxer previously insulted e-mailed Alford and told him to, ‘Go get’em.’

I love it.

Good catch. I didn't put two and two together. Thanks for the assist.

I wish she would've called him on it.

Wow, she is talking to that man like he is a 3 year old.

What she was really saying.
“Come on now Mr. Alford, all your black friends are doing it, just get back on our plantation with all of the other slaves.”

Yep. That’s why is so good. I’ve been meaning to compliment you on it for awhile now, and tuck it away in my memory to share with like-minded friends. True and well-said.

Boxer is about as dumb as a box of rocks. The man told her that citing the NAACP was offensive to him, yet the stupid idiot Boxer went on and citing some more blacks down on her plantation. Boxer is too racist and too stupid to even know when she stepped over the line.

Do you recall Clarence Thomas’s unforgettable term ..
“upppity black?”

That’s just what’s running through Witchy Boxer’s arrogant racist brain.

Who is that heavy set lady that keeps whispering in Boxer’s ear?
**

Her Director of Protocol & Professional Coat Hanger telling her to insist on being addressed as “Senator.”

That was Boxer who said that to the General?

Yes. Must have pooled well out in Fruitland so her aide wanted her to pull that card out from the bottom of the deck one more time.

“But some animals are more equal than others.”

Reminds me of some condescending in-laws who are “brilliant” liberals.
