No one threw any shoes, but that didn’t matter.
Security officers asked three aides for Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) to leave an outdoor event in downtown D.C., after they tried to display signs supporting Waters just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was about to speak.
According to The Hill, the signs defended Waters against ethics charges that she was involved in the improper dissemination of bailout funds. One of the sign carriers claimed to be Waters’s nephew.
“Let’s fight for Maxine Waters,” read one phrase. Another included: “No improper action. No benefit. No failure to disclose. No one influenced. No case!”
According to another aid, the workers were staffers paid for the day, and Waters’s office has been printing defensive material: 40 to 50 yard signs were printed, in addition to 10,000 handouts. The office plans to deploy similar supporters at other events up until Waters’s trial. Still, the official position is that the staffers were not sent specifically to the Pelosi event, but rather dispatched to the annual legislative conference for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
Waters responded on Thursday: “It ain’t about Nancy. It’s about black people.”
She also denied that she was related to any of the sign staffers: “I’m everybody’s aunt.”

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 9:48amThe only true racist in this country anymore are the democrats. They encourage government dependence by selling entitlements for votes. They have a vested interest in prepetuating racism and have gotten rich on the backs of minorities. For all their lip service you won’t find any section 8 houses or government projects in their back yards.

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 9:42amThis kind of nonsense burns me up. I am so tired of these accusations. It’s not about being black, it’s about being corrupt and abuse of power. I was so diappointed when the people of Harlem re-elected Charlie Rangel in the primary, this is so sad and disgraceful. The folks of both localities (Rangel‘s and Water’s) are living in the past. White people are not the enemy, our government is the problem. Black people had help in electing President Obama. He could not have been elected without the white vote.
I’m sure there are racist people out there for any ethnicity but not like in the “Klan days”

I mean Miss Maxine knows better. She got attention a while back at the capital for complaining at being picked out for not having proper ID (a Congressional Member Pin).
Miss Maxine’s minions should have gone to a conservative event and protested. They would have been welcomed, if not they would have been all over the news for once again exposing the true KKK Racist Heart of the TEA Party. Who knows the press coverage which would have been generated.
(Bottom Line for the progressives it is do as we say and not as we do,)

Report Post »Really, is that true? I guess if you look at the fact that Waters, Rangel and Jefferson are all Black and are all either under investigation or convicted of crimes and are or were in the House of Representatives that’s true! Thanks, Maxxy, you are absolutely correct. Too bad you lumped all those honest Black people in with your bunch of thieving, crooked politicians. If I were black I‘d be mighty po’d at that statement!

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 9:27amI wonder how the white people in her district feel about her statements (there must be a few). She should be called out for the racist she is. All you have to do is replace Auntie Maxine with a white male rep from the midwest shouting “It ain’t about Maxine. It’s about WHITE MEN” and think about the response. These people are so nuts they can’t even see the hypocrisy. Fortunately, more and more of the silent majority are getting fed up with this crap, hence the rise of the Tea Party.

Report Post »Until the pawns in their game realize that for 50 years they have been held down and used by these types, they will never ascend from servitude.
Look to Detroit, St. Louis, Memphis and on and on. These cities, once great, have been run by Dems exclusively for at least 50 years and look at what has become of them. You would think that there would emerge a leader somewhere who would point this out and lead the people to prosperity.

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 9:51amUnfortunately it is the only thing black voters get passionate about (well race AND free government handouts). It is one of the only thing that causes them to vote. I think that if you are a black politician in a black district your chances of winning a race go up dramatically if you are being charged for ethics violations (charlie rangel). OJ, Marion Barry, Charlie Rangel, Waters,etc….The list goes on and on and on. Name one Republican that has ever been charged of a crime and been reelected?……None……

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 10:14amThe only reason she said its about black people is because she is guilty and wants to drive the attention away from the real problem, like every other person that uses the race card, they use it when they run out of excuses, because as soon as they play the race card people turn a shoulder to it because they don’t want to be labeled as racist, the real racist are the people that use the race card instead of standing up for the wrongs that they have done.

Posted on September 17, 2010 at 11:01amThis is what Blacks do when they have been caught and can not defend themselves due to the overwhelming evidence agenst them,they appeal to other blacks that black people don’t do any wrong,that when a black person is caught brakeing the law it is only because they are black.This is the lowist form of raceism and sadly enough a very large percentage of blacks belive in this.It is how a person like Waters gets elected and stays in office for so long,she appeals to the PO BLACK syndrome and her constituency falls in line no matter how corrupt she/he is,look at Rangle,good example.
