A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African-Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.

This is manufactured grievance to divide and create angry opposition and a chasm past which compromise becomes UNREACHABLE for slim, temporary ephemeral advantage. If leaders such as this execrable cretinous creep were to see cooperation between tea party sympathizers and ‘black’ constituents their nice cushy corrupt works and jobs would be endangered. THAT is the function of this kind of baloney.
This gavone sees his constituents as AFRO-AMERICANS, not AMERICANS
The Tea Party is protecting its millionaire and oil company friends while gutting critical services that they know protect the livelihood of African-Americans
By and large the tea party type people ABHOR multinational companies and their priorities. In fact, beyond the issue of small govt/leave us alone - and fiscal responsibility there really is no tea party at all. No consensus on a damned thing.
I KNOW.
Andre Carson, supreme BIGOTED, BIGOTRY ENHANCING, MONOR.
Unamerican.
Afro americans need what all americans need.
PERIOD
YEAH! SO?
