My syndicated column today takes on racial demagogue and crony of color Maxine Waters, whose crooked ways I’ve covered since my first days at the L.A. Daily News. It’s about time the rest of the media put her under the microscope. Wait ’til she starts beating them over the head with the race card. It’s worked for decades. Now, she’ll just have to scream louder. I am looking forward to watching the Democrats try to ignore this most beastly example of the culture of corruption in their fold.
(Reminder: Go back and look at my liveblogging of the TARP debate. Note how aggressive Waters was in taking a lead role pushing congressional black caucus members to swallow the crap sandwich. No disclosure of her own self interest in the matter. She’s just a Champion of The People, speaking Truth to Power. And here’s another reminder of minority racketeers pushing for their bailout cut with Waters’ assistance. Business as usual, rainbow coalition shakedown-style.)
I think we should start referring to Waters as “Bank of OneUnited,” the same way she referred to bank execs by their company name.
*** Maxine Waters: Banking on hypocrisy by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2009
At a flail-and-wail House hearing last month, California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters melted down in front of big banking CEOs. “Raise your hand! Raise your hand!” she shrieked as she harangued the executives on their business practices and management of federal bailout money. Sneering at the “captains of the universe” whom she refused to address by name (”You, Bank of America!”), Rep. Waters excoriated the corporate heads for their greed. ” All of my political life,” Waters bragged, “I have been in disagreement with the banking

We need to start calling this woman a Racist to her face. THe poverty she has helped create in the Black and hispanic minorities HAS to be made public, over and over and over until she is indited or resigns in shame.
The woman is as corrupt as any human walking, with less sense of shame and far less morality than Bernnie Maddoff!
And Friday morning, Waters blasted back: "Recent press reports have raised questions about my advocacy on behalf of minority banks. Ultimately, however, these articles only revealed one thing: I am indeed an advocate for minority banks. Despite my public and consistent advocacy, news reports suggest that somehow I have acted improperly."
100 years ago there was an African-American woman who understood banking, Maggie L. Walker. In 1903, she chartered the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank in Richmond, Va. “We need a savings bank, chartered, officered, and run by the men and women of this Order....Let us have a bank that will take the nickels and turn them into dollars.”
How is it that 106 years later Ms. Water’s doesn’t have enough sense to buy a clue about economics? Maggie was no better off than Maxine, yet she worked to further the black community through commerce rather than complaints.
Maxine is undoubtably the ugliest females (?) I’ve ever seen !!!!!! And, the most racist !!!!!!!
Any word in how much her bank pushed sub-prime mortgages on poor blacks and hispanics??????? Maybe the NAACP will sue her.
