Hanging on a tree ?????

[yubba]

Some from the black congressional caucus say the Tea Party would like to see them hanging on a tree, is the tree going some where, is it about too fall over, or does the tea party want too see them be more enviormentally freindly?

I'd like to answer, or be offended, or laugh, but what you said makes absolutely no sense.

Ferret to the rescue! *SWOOOOSH*

The clip includes audio of Carson saying, "We have seen change in
Congress... The Tea Party is stopping that change. This is the beyond
symbolic change. This is the effort that we are seeing of Jim Crow. Some of
these folks in Congress would love to see us as second class citizens. Some
of them in Congress of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and
me... hanging on a tree."

A spokesman confirmed that it was indeed Carson who made the comments.

"The Tea Party is protecting its millionaire and oil company friends while
gutting critical services that they know protect the livelihood of African-
Americans, as well as Latinos and other disadvantaged minorities," Jason
Tomsci said. "So, yes, the congressman used strong language because the
Tea Party agenda jeopardizes our most vulnerable and leaves them
without the ability to improve their economic standing."

Sounds more like a not so subtle reference to an old fashioned lynching.

Why are these folks so threatin by this entity, I like seeing these folks lashing out at something that sorta doesn't exist, more than it is the mind set of the American people, if they are so worried, they should heed the will of the people that voted them into office. It's We The People, not Us to be fleeced. 1. If you believe in the Constitution you're a Tea Partier. 2 If you admire the founding fathers you're a Tea Partier. 3 If you believe in government fiscal sanity you got it you're a Tea Partier. So some folks in congress basicly told you to go to hell how do you like that...?????

This is sorta like a commercial I see here in Florida it starts as the republicans don't get it we need jobs as they protect the rich at the cost of the middle class, so the question here is, 1 who is the middle class ???? 2 Why would raising taxes on the rich help the middle class and create jobs ???? this don't make much sence either

Because the Democrat Party, which derives its power from promoting class warfare, racial division, and dividing society into little groups and pitting them against each other, has always thought it had a monopoly on grass roots organizing, with their bussed in union thugs and rented college/high school students.

So, when a true grass roots movement comes along espousing smaller government, fiscal and personal responsibility, and American exceptionalism, they naturally feel threatened when the movement gains a following the size the various tea party organizations enjoy.

Rep. Allen West, a tea party member and member of the Congressional Black Caucus has written a letter to the chairman of the CBC, Emmanuel Cleaver, requesting that he condemn Andre Carson's remarks as well as those of Rep. Maxine Waters, who said in a public forum that "The Tea Party can go straight to hell."

Yeah the first page should be showing happy Tea Party folks standing on the Jersey Shore watching the Liberals swim back to mother England, or Russia or what other country that would take such traitors.and there should be some really big strom clouds {almost said black wouldn't want to be thought to be a racists} in the direction they are swimming, and the there should be sun beams shinning down on the Tea Partiers. God I love to color.

Sure. The caption could read "Liberals are bad people that hate America and want to murder your babies."

You can never be to young to start being indoctrinated by The Party.

That's right, when you can't fight the message, attack the messenger.
