Los Angeles is in a tizzy over Police Commission President Rick Caruso's alleged description of U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters as a "bitch."
"If it is all right for the Police Commission president to call a congresswoman a bitch, is it all right for police officers on the street to call women bitches?" the furious Waters asked the commission Tuesday when she and dozens of supporters crammed themselves into the board's meeting room, the Los Angeles Times reported today.
Earlier in the day about 100 supporters of the congresswoman demonstrated against Caruso outside the Los Angeles Police Department's downtown headquarters.
"It outrages all of us who are citizens of the city of Los Angeles," fumed Danny Bakewell, head of a group called Brotherhood Crusade.
Not all. According to Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight, the issue was splitting La-La Land along racial lines, with blacks supporting Waters and whites backing Caruso.
"Caruso's alleged comment was distributed in a letter from an anonymous person who claimed to have been at a Feb. 28 meeting attended by Caruso and several top police officials," the Times said.
The commission is deciding whether to give Police Chief Bernard C. Parks, supported by Waters, a second five-year term. Mayor James K. Hahn, who appointed Caruso, opposes Parks' reappointment.
"Caruso has declined to comment on the matter, and the police officials who attended the meeting would not confirm or deny that he made the remark," the Times said. A top Hahn aide, Deputy Mayor Matt Middlebrook, said earlier this month that Parks' supporters were using "shameless political tactics" to discredit Caruso.
The far-left, wacky Waters is "notoriously anti-cop," O'Reilly noted, and once accused the Drug Enforcement Administration of bringing crack to L.A.
Well, a black army recruiter was stationed outside a local market in a black area. Maxine, with TV cameras in tow, got about two inches away from the black recruiter and started SCREAMING in his face at the top of her lungs about how he is bretraying the "community" and encouraging "African-Americans" to be slaughtered for the white man's oil. Despite it all, the recruiter was polite and called her "ma'am"...
As right on as your comments (any time I have heard you) on the HH show.

I proudly carry a brass engraved business card proclaiming myself the same.(A true friend presented it to me as a gift)I consider it a living epitath of honor,and when an opponent is reduced to describing me as such,at the least it shows my opponent has either run out of facts to dispute my view, or has been enraged by my views to the point of unreason.
Of course,Ms Waters may feel insulted if she is so thin skinned as to believe she can enrage people and still be called a "lady".Ladies dont do that.B!tches do.Deal with it!
I disslike Ms Waters and am repulsed by her views,so I would never honor her by calling her a B!tch.But I can see where people who dont hold the title in respect may use it to express their frustration at a female idiot politician.B@stard has been given such a male personification over the years it is used in the same context.....
Suffice to say a four letter word rhyming with....Bunt.I call that "bitch with a capital C"
Not to mention boils. 8^)
Free Republic is show prep for all the other radio talk shows.
You are one reason that is so.

At least my mamma loves the law and law enforcement and the rules of civil society, as does her fine child.
