CNN: The longtime congresswoman, whose district includes much of Los Angeles, also described some senators who are opposed to the health care reform bill as "Neanderthals."

"Not only are we going to do everything we can to organize and put pressure on the senators — some of whom are Neanderthals — we're going to say to the president, 'We want you to use every weapon in your basket in order to get those senators to do what they should be doing,'" Rep. Maxine Waters said.

woah, that kid got big!

[cdnerds]

For her... someone may need to call....

[kcvl]

roflol!

Maxine needs to get out more often it seems.

[Ev Reeman]

Sounds like the kid may have been high on something.

[popdonnelly]

And the demonization of the healthcare reform opponents continues unabated.

[Ev Reeman]

Maxine epitomizes liberal weinies and whiners.

What I find particularly offensive is that this b*tch assumes that there is only one right way and there could not be any sort of legitimate position that is not in full agreement with hers. Typical liberal (and Obama) attitude that if you don’t agree with them, you are either acting out of selfishness or are a moron.

Sounds like the kid may have been high on something.

Probably a little quality control testing before he tried to sell it to the undercover boys. They were scary looking. Crappy hair, beards, shitty van.

In this case, it certainly takes one to know one.

'We want you to use every weapon in your basket in order to get those senators to do what they should be doing...

Yo! Maxine! They are supposed to be representing their constituents, not commanding them.

[sourcery]

When you can’t argue an issue on its merits (you’re losing the debate,) you can always resort to ad-hominem name calling. Of course, that sort of behavior stems from the primitive, Neanderthal region of Maxine’s brain. But what else can she do?

[Enterprise]

"And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it’s their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color."

Yeah, those steenkin' Neanderthal white people. Growing food. Running small businesses. Building the infrastructure to distribute electrical power, drinking water, and providing efficient transportation. Building hospitals and clinics. Paying taxes. Who in the hell do these white people think they are anyway?

[Chode]

said the simian...

[LibLieSlayer]

mizzzzzz waters... you are an ignorant, racist, bigoted slut for satan.

“I’d be surprised if Waters knew what Neanderthal meant.”

She could just look into the mirror for a fine example.

I’ve lost track of the names that American citizens have been called. Boxer: Neanderthals

Can others add to the list of names by politician?

[elizabethgrace]

All totalled, do the people in her district actually PAY taxes?

I doubt it. Therefore, in my mind, "no representation without taxation." :)

[NewHampshireDuo]

Woops - Waters: Neandethals. I’m sure Boxer called us something too.

[ronnie raygun]

These a##wipes are out of control and have lost thier place. Lets show them thier place in 2010.

[Apparatchik]

And how about this gem:

"Mr. Chairman, we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and particularly at Fannie Mae, under the out-STAND-ing leadership of Franklin Raines." (my emphasis added, 'cause she was feelin' a little sassy here)

or this beauty:

"And guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socialize -- uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies"

The word "troglodyte" would be a compliment, given this woman's criminal stupidity.
