Maxine Waters: ‘Tea Party Can Go Straight to Hell’

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters had strong words for the Tea Party Saturday, saying they could go “straight to hell” for impeding job growth.

Speaking at a forum in her California district, Waters vowed to push Congress to create more jobs, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” Waters told the crowd. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. As far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”

Waters made headlines last week for her remarks blasting President Barack Obama for not visiting any black communities on his Midwest bus tour, and also saying African Americans don’t challenge the president because they “love him.”

    I liked Maxine better a few days ago when she was tearing Barry a new onw for not taking his bus tour into black neighborhoods! That’s the Maxine I could grow to love!

      It just goes to show that the Green Jobs this Congress Woman wants are only for the Black Community to fill. That is not going to help the country when those projects fail because they are over priced and under quality since most parts will come from China and fail miserably.

      I remember a time when Sony made its PS3 game console in China and the failure rate for those machines were higher than the those they built in other parts of the world even Japan. When they pulled production warranty repairs dropped like a rock. So that shows that forced labour camps will not get you the product that you need and forced Infrastructure Projects will only lead to more deaths after the projects are finished because they were built to fast and not inspected properly because of fears of racial blame since these projects would be run by Blacks…

      The tea party really has not come out in force yet..

      ..there are more of us than they are thinking there is..

      ..AND WE WILL VOTE COME 2012…

They will rot in hell watching reruns of their lies forever on one screen and the love they’ll never find, because of their hate, on another screen. It is so glaringly obvious.

    Government‘s don’t create jobs, they create monopolies or oligarchies by protecting certain parties from market competition, which creates the malinvestments which must necessarily result in a correction by real market prices – the malinvestments are the false booms, and the correction is the crash.

    If you’re not meeting real consumer demand, but are protecting certain parties from competition (such as is the case with laws protecting corporations, subsidies, and entitlements), then you are part of the problem.

      And that same car company now refuses to repair warranty parts on the “OLD GM” cars that they built and designed with faulty parts. My Parents bought an Oldsmobile in 1969 that had a bad suspension flaw and would wear out the front tires and GM said the same thing, that it was not their fault but the mechanics in the shop said that it could be fixed and was with overload springs because their new computer designed suspensions were not strong enough and GM would not replace the springs because it would cost to much to admit to failure.

      And I am currently not interested in buying GM, I own a Honda and Chevrolet S10 Blazer and the Blazer is falling apart and the Honda is still going strong… And when the CEO of GM calls for $4.00+ gallon gas prices then I say boycott the company since they want to kill the economy, because at those gas prices nobody will have the money to buy cars, let alone new cars at $40K for the Volt, the cash subsidy of 7,500 is not working since they only sell around 100 cars a month Nationwide and with electricity costs going higher I don’t want to buy a car that when you fully charge it only goes 25 miles on a charge and the rest is on $4 a gallon gasoline if the GM CEO would get his way. That is a loose/loose for the consumer.

Turn the tables on her and label her a racist… why not its as absurd to charge her with that as what she is saying!

      TP members its absolutely imperative that you NOT engage in any physical type of confrontation. The left needs it to make their claims solid about every label they are conjuring up as of late… ie calling you terrorists. Counter protest, protest, launch political ambushes etc etc but do not physically engage anyone from the left they are banking on it. http://SavingtheRepublic.com

      If Glenn helped you, that’s great, I guess. But I’m a leader, not a follower. I don’t need Glenn Beck, or anyone else, to collect, organize and process information for me. I hope you’re actually doing your own homework no. I know a lot of Beck followers DO NOT.

      Well, model, you obviously don’t listent to Glenn before you bash him and those who do listen to him. Glenn Beck is constantly telling us, begging us, to do our own research. Sure, there are some out there who do not and just take what he says as gospel, but I truly believe that he has awakened a whole lot of us to what’s going on and taught a lot of us to do our own research. I just don’t quite get you and those like you who want to belittle a man who has done nothing but help normal hard-working, everyday Americans to learn. Learn about our history, learn how to watch the government, learn how to make our voices heard, learn how to support each other. Why is that so bad? Why do you people hate Glenn so???? Also, the way you stated that comment “I know a lot of Glenn Beck followers who do not,” makes it sound like Glenn Beck has been wrong about things and that people just blindly follow him. Give us some facts on where Glenn Beck has been wrong. I don’t want your opinion, I want some hard facts. Give them to us! Sure is funny how I can research things Glenn has said and find that he is right! Now, I want you to show me where he has been wrong! I don’t want some liberal talking point, either. I want some facts!
