Andre Carson: Tea party wants blacks 'hanging on a tree'

You're still pushing that claptrap? The entire march was recorded and no one has yet found any instance of any such chant. If Lewis is hearing imaginary voices that the rest of us are not hearing, then that puts a major hole in his credibility.

as i recall, breitbart offered 100,000 to anyone who could produce a video of such a word being thrown around... and no one took him up on it.

Congresscritters usually take the tunnel.... but on this day the members of the CBC decide to walk through the opposition crowd and then immediately had an impromptu press conference ready to roll on how they were treated racistly?

:rolleyes: yeah. attempted set-up fail.



What this amounted to was spray, not spit. This stuff happens when people are yelling. Spray is like a mist, spit is not simply mist, it's a noticeable volume of saliva that is purposely directed.[/QUOTE]
 
So...for the record...liberals lose their ****ing minds when someone uses a vague term like "tar baby", but...meh...Im sure it was only just mild rheotic when he accused Tea Party republicans of wanting to lych blacks and see folks hanging fromt he trees. Certainly nothing to get spun up out.

Us them blah blah who said tar baby? If a black man started calling people vanilla faces on the national stage youd be pissed as hell that you werent allowed to be as racist due to political correctness attitudes in society.

Finally decide to ask the right question. Yes, smart employers choose who will be interviewed. Okay, so what?
So if you agree that employers are responsible for choosing who will be interviewed why would you use sarcasm to imply that it isn't?

you seem to be ignoring the findings that they cannot GET an interview as often as White applicants.
I wonder why that is. Oh yes, it's the employers fault.
 
No, I think it's foolish to claim something is false when you don't know if it's false.

:( too bad playdrive wants to rape children. :(






well, i mean, you can't prove it's not true....

not really. I'd find it funny, and I would only be irritated at those who applied a double standard by not denouncing it.
 
I'm not interested. It's probably nonsense anyway.

By now, I think most non-black voters have figured out that Obama has the black vote because he's black. It doesn't matter what he's done or what he plans to do, his skin color trumps all of it.
 
I haven't done that and neither has any liberal that I know and I know a lot of them. Your point?

Washington Post:


The director of D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams's constituent services office resigned after being accused of using a racial slur, the mayor's office said yesterday.

David Howard, head of the Office of Public Advocate, said he used the word "niggardly" in a Jan. 15 conversation about funding with two employees.

"I used the word 'niggardly' in reference to my administration of a fund," Howard said in a written statement yesterday. "Although the word, which is defined as miserly, does not have any racial connotations, I realize that staff members present were offended by the word.

"I immediately apologized," Howard said. " . . . I would never think of making a racist remark. I regret that the word I did use offended anyone."

When Howard, who is white, noticed the reaction to his use of the word, he apologized to his three-member staff, which is made up of two blacks and another white. It is unclear which two employees he was addressing when he used the word.

Soon after the remark was uttered, the rumor mill started churning that Howard had used the word "nigger."

Howard said he has received numerous telephone calls since Jan. 15 from people in the community who had heard "I had made a racist remark . . . [which is] in fact unquotable here."

The Barnhard Dictionary of Etymology traces the origins of "niggardly" to the 1300s and the words nig and nigon, meaning miser, in Middle English. It also notes possible earlier origins in languages including Old Icelandic, Old English and Middle High German. There is no mention of any racial connotation.

Howard said the rumor that he had used a racial slur "has severely compromised my effectiveness as the District's Public Advocate and in the best interest of my office, I resigned," effective Monday.

Howard is the second mayoral appointee in two weeks to quit, and his resignation comes at a time when Williams's administration is being bombarded with questions regarding race relations -- his "loyalty" to his race as well as the diversity of his staff. Williams (D) is black; Howard was one of four white men Williams appointed on the first official business day of his administration.

Five days after Williams named the senior policy advisers, a group of residents from east of the Anacostia River -- many of whom had been part of the Draft Williams Committee -- complained that the mayor had "missed a unique opportunity" to name someone who lives in Southeast Washington to his personal staff. And they questioned whether Williams would be responsive to the predominantly black and working-class communities of the city.
 
an excellent point: were this guy anything but a Liberal Protected Class...


Imagine a Jewish member of Congress accusing the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) of wanting to see Jews gassed.

How would every decent American — Right and Left — describe such a statement? Loathsome? Morally reprehensible? An obvious lie? All three descriptions would be entirely accurate.

Next question: How much media exposure would that libel be given?

Front page in the New York Times and Washington Post? Ferocious editorials written from coast to coast? Lead stories on TV newscasts?

Correct on all three again.

Final question: Would said congressman be allowed to stay in office?

We all know the answer to that one, too....

You're right. You can't prove it's not true and you can't prove it is true. Such is life.
 
Sort of reminds of the woman that Andrew Breitbart and Fox News essentially hounded out of the agriculture department by publishing false accusations of racism.

Again, what's your point? Neither I nor any liberals that I know did that, so your attempt to use this story to make a point about liberals is a bit silly. You still haven't learned the faults of taking the actions of a few and holding an entire population responsible for them.

Guess what? One time one of my libertarian friends cheated on his girlfriend. What does this say about libertarians? Oh that's right, it only says something about my friend since generalizations are for preschoolers.​

Come to think of it, they used creative editing to make that false accusation as well.
 
You're right. You can't prove it's not true and you can't prove it is true. Such is life.

yup. which is why claiming that you do, of course, could never be considered "libel" :)

:lol: what, set-up fail #2?

And still you can't prove it's true and can't prove it isn't. :) It's funny how since you can't counter than point, you have to change the topic.
 
And some charming vignettes:

"•Civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis was taunted by tea partiers who chanted "nigger" at least 15 times, according to the Associated Press (we are not cleaning up language and using "the N-word" here because it's really important to understand what was said.) First reported on The Hill blog (no hotbed of left-wing fervor), the stories of Lewis being called "nigger" were confirmed by Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones and Democratic Rep. Andre Carson, who was walking with Lewis. "It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis," said Carson, a former police officer. "He said it reminded him of another time."

I read down to here and then I felt I had to stop and reply. This was a ****ING lie. Absolute bull****. He made it up and is a liar. The video was played over and over and there wsa nothing. Breitbart offered 10K for any evidence what so ever of this happening and nobody could come up with anything.

It was another disgusting attempt at race baiting. You know though, if a brick was thrown it simply had to have come from a Tea Party member. God, it'sso sad people are so bitter at being rejected that they turn to this crap.
 
Liberals sure fired a person who used the word niggardly.

Along with calling those who dismissed Obama's policies as failed Keysnian programs racist.
 
Re: Andre Carson: Tea party wants blacks 'hanging on a tree' Read more: http://www.p

It has been my observation that most racists are liberals and black people who like to blame all their ills on others and take no responsibility for their own failings.
The only place I hear hate speech is from the Left and they are full of it.


Niggardly means: reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly, meanly or ungenerously small or scanty: a niggardly tip to a waiter.
 
Us them blah blah who said tar baby? If a black man started calling people vanilla faces on the national stage youd be pissed as hell that you werent allowed to be as racist due to political correctness attitudes in society.
The 'tar baby' quote was brought up by a liberal as the 'proof' that the Tea Party is racist. If you are going to engage, you really should at least TRY to stay with the class. And put your helmet back on. You get hurt again, your mom is gonna be pissed.

Right because Obama is the only Democrat that blacks have predominately voted for. Anyway...

I saw a video where the interviewer asked liberals at a rally to read something that mentioned both Obama and failed Keynesian and they thought it was TEA Party racism because they thought Keynesian was referring to Obama being born in Kenya. Gotcha videos can be quite funny.

Hah... Ive never heard the term..

(specifically, "I don't want to be associated with him. It's like touching a tar baby and you get it, you're stuck").

It has recently developed more derogatory connotations related to African Americans.

People should really get with the times.

I agree, some Obama supporters unfairly accuse people of being racist. However, most of us have seen the NASTY racial signs the Teabaggers bring to rallies. So why don't YOU take some "personal responsibility" and go confront your party. Suggest they act a little more civil and lay off the pictures of Obama with gigantic lips, badly spelled N-word and other references to his race, because it's making the rest of you look bad.

And please, don't bother replying with something like "they don't represent us all" or whatever - you seem to 'generalize' ALL liberals. Stop making you and your party out to be victims. I've heard PLENTY GOPers say that blacks only voted for Obama because he's black. SEVERAL. And to be fair ... yes, I'm sure there were people who voted for him because of his race... JUST as there are people who didn't vote for him because of his race. So suck it up & get over it.

Is there something you want to discuss, or just banter about bull****? I'm beginning to get bored.
