Rep. Carson: Tea party wants to see African Americans ‘hanging on a tree’
Washington Post ^ | 10:06 PM ET, 08/30/2011 | Felicia Sonmez

Posted on 08/31/2011 12:25:56 AM PDT by newzjunkey

A leading member of the Congressional Black Caucus is standing by incendiary language he used at a recent town hall when he charged that tea-party aligned members of Congress view African Americans as “second-class citizens” and would like to see them “hanging on a tree.”

Rep. Andre Carson’s (D-Ind.) office confirmed that the lawmaker made the remarks at an Aug. 22 CBC Job Tour event in Miami and said that the comments were “prompted in response to frustration voiced by many in Miami and in his home district in Indianapolis regarding Congress’ inability to bolster the economy.” …

This whipping up a mob with false accusations against the tea party.


Demonic

The goal of these gentlemen is assaults on tea party members. Or even a listening audience hanging around them.

More work for the flash mobs.

Works for me for the current administration and those who support it:

§ 2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

England had better punishment for high treason:

1. That the offender be drawn to the gallows, and not be carried or walk: though usually (by connivance length ripened by humanity into law) a sledge or hurdle is allowed, to preserve the offender from the extreme torment of being dragged on the ground or pavement

2. That he be hanged by the neck and then cut down alive

3. That his entrails be taken out and burned, while he is yet alive

4. That his head be cut off

5. That his body be divided in four parts

6. That his head and quarters be at the king’s disposal

It’s ironic but he and a number of other congress critters may end up just so. It will not have anything to do with their skin color...

Can anyone here explain to me exactly what these people want?

Its easy. They want what we have and then force us into thatch huts on their plantation with the chains around our legs. What is so tough about taking that assesment from this lunatic.

For living proof, just look to what was Rhodesia. Once the San Fernando Valley of Afica is now just another dustbowl that cannot come close to feeding its inhabitants. The insightful producers just left and those who chose to take a stand were killed.

Allen West will be on Fox and Friends this morning at 7:50. I would assume it is about this issue.

OK, Carson, I charge that you and your CBC want to see white people beaten to death by large crowds of black yoots.

Criminal Law
What Does Inciting A Riot Mean?
Jeralyn Merritt

Q. What does the charge inciting a riot mean and what will happen?

— Anonymous

A. Under federal law, a riot is a public disturbance involving an act of violence by one or more persons who are assembled in a group of at least three people. The act of violence must be one that presents a clear and present danger of injury to another person or damage to another person\\\’s property. Threatening to commit a violent act in such a group situation that could injure another person or damage property is also considered a riot if one of the persons in the group has the ability at the time to carry out the threatened violence.
Inciting a riot applies to a person who organizes, encourages, or participates in a riot. It can apply to one who urges or instigates others to riot. It does not apply to someone who merely advocates ideas or expresses beliefs, if those ideas and beliefs do not involve advocating violence.

The federal crime of inciting a riot carries a possible penalty of up to five years in prison a fine.

State and local governments also have laws that make it a crime to incite a riot. The penalties range from fines only to jail time. It is important that the law, even if only a municipal ordinance, specify the conduct that that is prohibited with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited.

If you have been charged with inciting a riot, I recommend you seek out a criminal defense lawyer in your area who can tell you exactly what conduct the law prohibits in your jurisdiction, and advise you as whether the law is subject to a challenge on the grounds that it is unconstitutionally vague—either because it fails to sufficiently set forth what conduct is prohibited, or fails to set minimal guidelines for police to use in enforcing the law.

Will this crude race-card gambit be condemned by 0bummer? No, for it is the Demonrat Party’s only remaining strategy. The great usurper wouldn’t use those words, at least not yet.

Obama is losing black support.

Yes, it might slip under 90%. Nah, I don't think so.

They want the same thing any fascist regime wants.

Voltaire said that if you can get people to believe in absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.

Look at what the Nazis did to Jews:

1. Demonize the innocent (TEA Party)

2. Euthanize the unwanted (unborn, disabled, elderly)

3. Create a bogus crisis like the Reichstag Fire and Gleiwitz incident to destroy political opposition and start a war (Fast and Furious).

See my tagline.

State leaders engaged in evil racist acts were executed by hanging at Nuremburg.

The negro “Nazi” party running the US must be accused, tried, and held accountable for their crimes.

Thanks newzjunkey.
...is standing by incendiary language... Carson's (D-Ind.) office... said that the comments were "prompted in response to frustration voiced by many in Miami and in his home district in Indianapolis regarding Congress' inability to bolster the economy."
So, the nonsequitur nature of his remarks didn't bother anyone in the drive-by media to the extent that they didn't call his ignorant racist ass on these divisive and stupid remarks?
