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.

The racist pigs are scared. Good!
They’re running scared because their Messiah isn’t revered by all. Phonies.
It is now!!
What an incredibly ugly and unhappy bunch of women. Woooeeee.
I WANT TO BE INVESTIGATED!
Let’s all write Maxine and BEG her to send the Secret Service to our houses for a chat!
I LOL! when I think what the questions would be:
-—Do you have any black friends?
-—Do you belong to a country club?
-—Do you like barbeque?
What else?
Yes, I like that concept. We should push the meme, I think it will stick.
“Why, ACORN or other groups might plant some actors with scripts”
One tactic the left uses at demonstrations is to assemble teams to surround journalists, cameras, and reporters so that the news is salted with their viewpoint. Every time the reporter goes for a “man on the street”, it’s some guy with an Alinsky agenda and a set of talking points.
Well, we can do that too with a little organization. Lefties always have pre-rally meetings for the volunteers to instruct and inform. I don’t often see other groups (like conservatives) do that. For a demo with 3000 people, a team of 60 can isolate the press to a considerable degree.
What the heck are you smokin?
.....'Obamacare' and ' Barry Obamacare with Kennedy,'" she said.
Is this a direct WRITTEN QUOTE or did the author.....sorta screw up?
*waves hi to Maxine*
