Maxine Waters: The Tea Party can go to hell

Bitter old bag:

On Saturday in Inglewood, Calif., Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters had some harsh words for the tea party.

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.”

That proclamation was met with cheers from the audience, including attendees sporting purple SEIU T-shirts.

Tone down the rhetoric, indeed. 

The Democrats thrive on hate and anger, and this story is just another example of that.  And make no mistake, if it was up to progressives, Maxine Waters would be President and not Barack Obama.   She’s right up their alley.

Yes, liberalism is racial politics.

Results be damned, it’s all about electing more and more liberals to positions of power, to keep blacks more and more suppressed:

[T]he bad policies that have always failed are the big government liberalism that has defined modern black politics.

With further thought, blacks might realize […] that growing government and electing black politicians would make blacks better off — that explains why blacks have remained disproportionately “hurtin”.

Take the Congressional Black Caucus itself. The average poverty rate in Black Caucus districts is almost 50 percent higher than the national average. Yet, these black politicians have 100 percent re-election rates.

Maybe blacks will realize that they should blame Obama. Not because he is black, but because he is a liberal.

Or maybe it’s because of those racist, terrorist Tea Partiers.  Read the whole piece.

UPDATE.   Stacy McCain as usual, drives the point home:

Appealing to the credulous resentments of ignorant mobs has long been a political speciality of the Democratic Party, which habitually excites the fears and hatreds of its constituencies, even as it exploits their foolish hopes […] 

Democrats execise power through such cynical manipulation of their supporters’ dreams and nightmares. The Democrats grow rich while the people who elect them grow poor and yet always — always — the blame for their failures is externalized onto […] the Republicans.

[T]he fools who vote for Democrats certainly deserve no better than what they’ve gotten from Obama: Absolutely nothing.

 

Maxine Waters: Why isn’t Obama coming to black communities on his Misery Bus Tour? (VIDEO)

Oof.  This one’s going to sting a little.

This is Maxine Waters, the resident idiot in the Congressional Black Caucus speaking about the President and his current jobs tour through white America:

“We’re supportive of the president, but we’re getting tired, ya’ll.  We’re getting tired. And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he’s prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is. We don’t know why on this trip that he’s in the United States now, he’s not in any black community.  We don’t know that.”

Here’s the thing Congresswoman Waters.  Liberal Democrats like President Obama already assume they have the black vote in the bag, regardless of how hard Hope and Change fifty years of liberal policies has thrown them under the bus.  And it’s not so much that he’s going to see white people on his lame bus tour, but rather middle America, which includes whites, as well as blacks, as well as Hispanics, as well as Asians, etc., all across the fruited plain.  With that in mind, it’s no wonder he’s out there because those are the votes not in the bag, as it were.  

And of course, he needs those votes to get re-elected and continue dragging this country downward. Got it?

UPDATE.  Video of the CBC meeting via Big Government:

You really feel the angst in that video.  This is the failure of liberalism personified—the uncomfortably dumbfounded look of Ms. Waters (emphasis on the “dumb”), the plight of the people these liberals and their socialist policies were meant to help.  All in one clip.   Politically, it’s bad news for Obama—coupled with liberal supporters screaming down Debbie Wasserman Shultz in Iowa  last weekend—these incidents speak volumes.

Yep, the natives are getting restless, as they were promised big government lollipops, (to borrow a phrase from Mark Steyn) and all they got were…well…nothing.
