Tea Party Under Vicious Assault

From Politico:
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.

Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who serves as the CBC’s chief vote counter, said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would “love to see us as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree.”

A serious question: Is Carson non compos mentis?

Maxine Waters, another black democrat in Congress, said the tea party can "go to hell". Where is Obama on all of this? Where are the calls for an apology on the left? Where are the cries from the media about the dangerous tone in Washington?

One thing is certain: the left is absolutely terrified that the Republicans will win in a landslide election. As liberals desperately try to gain some sort of traction in the run-up to election day, the race card will increasingly be employed by blowhards like Waters and Carson. I think the prospect for large scale race riots is in the cards, and as long as totally irresponsible and reprehensible leaders in the black community continue to stoke the flames of hatred, rage and fear among their peers, the situation will only get deteriorate.

If you listen to the audio of Carson's remarks, you will note the enthusiastic shouts of approval he receives from his constituents. The question must be asked: to what degree are Carson's remarks shared in the black community?
