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.

Maxine Waters is a moron.
No problem here. Take a page from the history of the effort to restore the second amendment.
Charles D. (Chuckie) Schumer, the anti-gun nut that never stops giving was the most fun to ridicule. And the easiest....
The standard technique for countering Schumer’s was to discredit by simply publishing the verbatim text of his speeches and photo-ops with no editorial comment at all.
Similarily, the best defense against statements by Maxine Waters is to give her self-inflicted ridicule wide spread coverage.
By far the best example, not the only one, was when she nailed herself to the wall at the senate hearing on oil companies.
Just Google “Maxine Waters Socialized oil” and you’ll get a couple dozen links to video....
Isn’t the Congressional Black Caucus in its self, a RACIST organization? Also the Congressional Hispanic Caucus?
Why is my mail to the Congressional White Caucus being sent back as Addressee unknown?
On second thought, I'd pay good money to see Waters called a servant to her face.
That’s RACIST
Maxine check this out!
A federal court jury convicted Jefferson on four bribery counts, three counts of money laundering, three counts of wire fraud and one count of racketeering. He was acquitted on five other counts including wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
Jefferson, a 62-year-old Democrat, was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 4, 2007, about two years after federal agents said they found the cash in his freezer. Authorities said the cash was part of a payment in marked bills from an FBI informant in a transaction captured on video.
Jefferson had pleaded not guilty. He faces a maximum possible sentence of 150 years in prison, with sentencing tentatively set for October 30.
Well, I guess they did know there was a march on Saturday.
Actually, wouldn’t it be a good thing for the media to investigate what we have to say? She wants the “media” to investigate. Sounds to me like this would be a great thing, because they would actually have to air and print what we believe in and in the process show “the rest of the world” conservative principles are alive and they work. I doubt the media will take Waxie Maxie up on this challenge - it would not fit the narrative.
That would be great, then it would at least mean they would have to cover the rallies, sounds like a win win to me.
Maxine Waters - Do they come any uglier, both mentally and physically???
Maxine, you’re more than welcome to my bi-racial/national/lingual household. When, and which media outlets would you like to bring?
I hope they take the bait.
Maxine...I got yer “investigation” hangin’ right heah, darlin’. (Heh, heh...heh, heh...)
> We’d love a chance to talk to the media.
No you wouldn’t.
A more dishonest gang of liars never existed. They will twist your words and pretext your context until they have you saying what THEY want you to say.
In print.
For all the world to see.
No, don’t talk to the whore press.
Write your OWN messages and get them published as letters and opinions in your local newspaper.
If the local newspaper is a commie rag (most likely), start your own or start/join a blog.
No one needs to probe Maxine to know she is a racist. Her hatred of white people is obvious.
Decent blacks must hang their heads in disgust when they hear racist blacks like Waters, Conyers, McKinney, Rangel and Sharpton take a brain dump in public and nothing comes out.
Actually, this is a very clever idea on her part. I’m sure the media would focus their interviews on the goofiest and nuttiest types present. Why, ACORN or other groups might plant some actors with scripts just to reinforce the idea that all these protestors are really klansmen.
Yeah. Let’s get some investigative journalism on the American people engaging in their right to free speech and peaceful gathering.
Ignore the criminal activities of ACORN and Charles Rangle, however.
Makes perfect sense.
