Prime targets: Black lawmakers under fire

[stubtoe]

Republicans are targeting Black lawmakers in an effort to paint the Obama administration as "too liberal". Race politics at its worst:

"As Fox News and other media under the grip of the conservative right wing continue a steady drumbeat against U.S. Representatives Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters, Democrats and those on the political left grow increasingly concerned that Rangel and Waters are being successfully converted into the new Willie and Wilma Horton.
"

"Critics worry that conservatives are angling to use Rangel and Waters as examples of how Obama supporters are soft on corruption and crime. In other words, a growing chorus of people believe Rangel, Waters and perhaps other black lawmakers are being targeted.
 Since Obama has been in the White House there has been no less than eight investigations of Congressional Black Caucus members." (emphasis mine)

1. Rethuglicans = LYNCH MOB

They are racists without the pointy hoods. Those of us who are white need to SCREAM this into the faces of the motherfuckers (sometimes, only a cussword will do). I calmly tell people all the time that one of the reasons I'm not a rethuglican is because they are racist bastards.
