The media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists like the ones who descended on Washington last weekend, one liberal congresswoman said Wednesday.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it's not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.
"I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed," Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. "I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers."
"What I'm looking for is the very people who carry the signs who are referring to the policies in very, very strange ways like 'Obamacare' and 'Barry Obamacare with Kennedy,'" she said. "What I've been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody's referring to -- everybody on the Mall, in the rally."
Tens of thousands of conservative activists took to the National Mall last weekend to protest the Obama administration, specifically its stance on healthcare reform. Examples of incendiary rhetoric touching on racial overtones from some protesters have emerged on blogs in the days since the rally.

Please do you ingnorant racist pig. We’d love a chance to talk to the media.
Now, there is an open mind. /sarc
Stalin would be proud.
What a bunch of ninnies.
The media don’t want to be there, because there are too many witnesses for them to get away with their usual spin.
Yep, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is a racist. She proves more and more with each passing day.
I know it seems impossible but maybe they will eventually play the race card so much that it no longer works.
No, it makes you a logical, clear-thinking American!
FUMW!
Why not investigate HER?
“What I’ve been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody’s referring to — everybody on the Mall, in the rally.”
Hey, Maxine: these folks were at the town hall meetings in August. If you want to know what they have to say, speak to your fellow Senators and Reps. They got an earfull this summer...
I’d love to see the MSM use that story as their leadin so Americans can see what the Dems really think of them. Their attitude towards regular working folks has been the driving force in their downward spiral, I hope they keep it up.
This is gonna backfire.
Is Maxine a Marxist? Inquiring minds want to know.
An old socialist like Maxine is going to have a hard time putting anyone else on the defensive.
Is buffoonette a word?
They're doing just that, the race card no longer has the bite it once did, and now they're growing nervous.
WITCH.
