Elected, but hardly intelligent.  They are going by the mantra that if you repeat a lie long enough, people will believe it.  Some will.  But only the stupid ones that want to in the first place.

It's shameful to think some people out there, especially politicians, still use this kind of language. I would love to see them provide proof of these allegations. These people should be liable for the comments they make and they should be able to provide proof of such comments. It's amazing to think Black people can not let go of racism. Sure, there are some people out there who are still racist, they are racist against Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and even against White people who are not racist like them. But these people are few and do not represent either the entire nation, an entire state or even a political party or group connected to a specific political party.

What's very interesting is how very few are openly pointing out how Obama, a "Black"  president, failed to do his Tour Bus campaign thru Black neighborhoods and that people like Al Sharpton only criticized him thru whispers that happen to be caught on tape.

Personally, I don't care about these peoples comments about racism. I know it's not an issue, I know the Republican party is not based on it or controlled by it. As long as they simply spew garbage they can not back with proof, they are nothing but hypocrites, people who will continue to use "racism" as their only means to fight because they are just too stupid to fight any other way.

BTW, this are the thoughts of a Hispanic. In case anyone out there was wondering.

Sounds like any other race.  That are not racists.  Most people are not, but some leaders are invested in it as their power base.  They truly do not represent their own constituents, but use it to scare them into voting them back into office.

The CBC got together and decided to make the Tea Party the "enemy". They are afraid of the taxes dollars which usually disproportionately goes to their constituents (to maintain the status quo vote, people to practically give their lives for the table crumbs) will dry up. They fail to tell these people that the Tea Party elected Allen West and Tim Scott. The CBC knows their base well and racism is a fan favorite that plays well there. It's much easier to blame someone/something else for your problems, than man up and take responsibility. Pity these folks can't see it's their elected officials that are keeping them down, hooked on government dependency. Just look at any area on the district level that has been solidly democrat for generations. Shouldn't all this money thrown there have "cured" poverty by now?

Just the fact their exists a group in congress based on race, that caters to one group, sounds pretty shady to me. As far as I'm concerned the inequities in society have been rectified. If we have come to a point in time when we allow another group of racists permission to spew their hatred in the guise of a political body, that's it for me. Too many "special" people with too many special rights. Treat all the same.

I could almost understand if this was a Region dude, but he represents Indianapolis?  Yikes.

Flip the coin to Florida's Representative Allen West.

You are on a roll, steve.

WOW!  Long time no see!  Welcome back!

Thanks!  Got bored with Huffpost.

You're kidding me, right?

I suppose the Obama love-fest over there is pretty boring.

Huff Po summary:

1st person- Obama's the greatest.

2nd person- No you're wrong. He's the single most wonderful thing to happen t the US.

1st person- But I like him the most.

2nd person- No I love him more. He really has the little guy's (Unions, special interests, unsustainable energy sources, etc) interest at heart.

1st person- Oh yeah, well no one hates the right (Republicans, Fox, Tea Party, corporations, etc) more than I do....their evil.

2nd person- Oh I hate them more.

1st person and 2nd person (in unison)- Karl Marx would be proud...yeah. We love him too.

Why?  I have said from the beginning that you are unique.  A rational liberal.

Wrong , but rationally so.
