Mary Frances Berry and the tyranny of her leadership.

CSPAN ^ | 12/10/01

I finally found the video of the 12/7/01 Civil Rights Commission meeting. In a way, I wish I hadn't. I couldn't believe how rigid Berry's control over that meeting was. If she didn't agree with the points made, they were ruled out of order. The new commissioner was eaten up by Berry on these procedural rules. Here's the link.

[Wrigley]

There have been many threads on this meeting, but I wanted to post the link. I am more convinced that the commission is a waste of our money.

[Southack]

Are you also implying that this commission finally "seated" GWB's new appointment?

[Paul Atreides]

W, put that Berry in a jam!

[Wrigley]

No, and I am curious how you made that judgement. As far as I know, it looks like it will take the Army Rangers to get him seated with her in charge.

[Southack]

"The new commissioner was eaten up by Berry..."

[ladyinred]

He answered an email from my husband by saying he wasn't going any where any time soon, meaning he is not giving into that vicious hag!

I would like to watch the video, but I would go ballistic, so I won't.

[chatham]

This Berry is the same Jerk who after an Investigation decided that the Last Election was stole by a Racist WHITE Conspiracy and this idiot believes it .

She is pure and simple a Hate filled Black who intends to push her weight around because the Politicians are afraid of her and her cronies.

She should be removed from the job because of her racist views and actions..

[Republican Wildcat]

Good grief. How long has she chaired this commission? She doesn't even know basic parliamentary procedure.

[3AngelaD]

Congress could and should cut off the money that keeps this burlesque of a commission running, including the salaries. Berry has been on the public payroll so long that she has developed a serious case of Sheila Jackson Lee Disease (which causes one to believe he or she is a reigning absolute monarch, and to act on that belief, particularly in restaurants and on airplanes). She has nothing but contempt for the office of the President. She has thoroughly politicized her miserable little panel, which is starting to resemble the Ministry of Silly Walks.AdR

[Wrigley]

Oh, brain cramp, I get it now.

Great. The longer the spotlight remains on Ms. Berry, the greater the likelihood this waste of tax money will get shut down entirely.

[poweqi]

Early on in the tape she(Berry) states that the issue will be deceided by the courts. Does anybody know what level court this will go to?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"I am more convinced that the commission is a waste of our money. "

These idiots are paid $122,440 per year to serve on this Commission that meets about 4 times per year! What a crock!

[Peach]

I got an e-mail from Peter, too, newly appointed by President Bush. He thanked me for my support and said Americans were generally supportive and wanted action.

[alaskanfan]

Social welfare at it's finest.

[MinuteGal]

He's not sending canned answers to our emails.

I sent him an email of support, also. In it, I encouraged him to "fight, fight, fight" and "give no quarter!"

He replied "Americans never give up!"

I like this guy!

[Bahbah]

By golly, I need to get on this commission.

[Saundra Duffy]

She's a fascist. But I was amazed at the impotence of the so-called "conservatives" on the commission. I wanted to slap them and demand that they stop sitting there like lumps on logs. They should have WALKED OUT IN PROTEST OR STAGED A PROTEST OR SOMETHING. Good grief! It's so frustrating. The new commissioner had to sit there dumbfounded and there was nothing he could do. The seated commissioners were ineffective ignorant boobs. But of course Berry takes the cake. She's way out of control and must be FIRED IMMEDIATELY. For victory & freedom!!!

[tutstar]

It's going to be interesting to see how this ends...I can't believe baloney like this is going on. You know though, if it were a white male doing the same kind of thing, there would be a hissy fit in the media.
