The national media is quick to make national news out of false reports of racism concerning the Tea Party, but why has this juicy little tidbit been left out of the national dialogue?


Damn, just damn.

Cant watch this at work. Will need a text summary, or your own.


Interesting. Where? I didn't quite pick that up from the video.

Freehold: Basically, the woman is saying "The Vietnamese are trying to steal "our" (meaning Latinos) congressional seat".

Race baiting at its finest, imo.

That's a lovely bit of video, and the candidate certainly needs to be condemned for it.

If you're trying to say at the same time, though, that Republican fringe elements aren't racist, though, you might want to link to a version of the video that doesn't allow comments, because they're really not helping your case there.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Race-Baiting Dem Congresswoman Tells Latinos the Vietnamese Are Trying to Take Away Their Seat is the title of the 30 second video.

EDIT: Ninja'ed by the casanova from Houstonia.

Actually, I'm trying to say no one in this country on either side of the aisle are free from racism.

I'm pretty much over both sides on the political stage, I just like making sure both sides are equally exposed as the scum they are.

;@)


You did not get the memo? It's still cool to hate on the VC.


Charlie don't surf! But I do.

Hey cutie.


I'm surprised Faux news hasn't been showing this every half hour and using it to bash Obama.

Maybe because it's fake, no that never stopped Faux news before. Maybe none of the news channels are carrying it because it doesn’t involve blacks or whites?

But, you know, the fake reports of racial slurs directed at black members of Congress on health care bill signing day were suppressed pretty well by the national media.

And, I speak Spanish, there's no fakery there.

Didn't you hear? Justice Sotomayor proved it's OK to be racist as long as you're a "wise Latina woman."

It's also ok to be a racist if you served in congrees for over 40 years.

Strom Thurman and Robert Byrd both prove that point nicely. One from each side, for the sake of balance.

Yeah, until or unless voters grow up and stop buying their party line, term limits may be the only solution to the craptastic legislative branch we have now.

Problem with term limits is it only shifts the true power to the congressional support staffers, who can stay until they drop dead. And are unvoted on. Heck that and lobbying agencies are where disgraced congressfolk go now.

How about making the job unpaid (or minimum wage)? Something that you do because you want to give beck, not to get some sweet superFed pension? It works well for the NH state legislature. I think they get like a token paycheck.
