A Trifecta Of Liberalism, All In One Crazy Radical

This is quite a learning experience:

The media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists like the ones who descended on Washington last weekend, one liberal congresswoman said Wednesday.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it’s not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.

“I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed,” Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. “I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers.”

“What I’m looking for is the very people who carry the signs who are referring to the policies in very, very strange ways like ‘Obamacare’ and ‘Barry Obamacare with Kennedy,’” she said. “What I’ve been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody’s referring to — everybody on the Mall, in the rally.”

Wow. This Democrat Congresswoman is actually saying that anyone who disagrees with Obama should have their thoughts examined. Recall the Thought Police, anyone? Now do you see that this is not simply a flight of fancy, but something that the Left actually wants to see implemented?

But there's more.

She perpetuates the laughable assertion that such dissent is also inherently racist. Hot Air pops that balloon with a dose of common sense:

The Hill reports that Waters identifies racists by their use of the term “ObamaCare”, which would apparently include me. Gee, when I called it HillaryCare in 1993, was that racist too?

So let’s get this straight. Calling Obama’s overhaul of the American health-care system “ObamaCare” is evidence of some kind of bigotry, either latent or overt. Calling protesters “teabaggers,” on the other hand, is — what, exactly? Wit? Sophomoric humor? A complete ignorance of American history?

And never mind the fact that she's using an extremely vulgar term to accuse all dissenters of being racist. It's okay if it's done by the Left, you know.

Maxine Waters is a complete and total nutjob. Unfortunately, she's representative of far too many Leftists in this country, and in the American government.

There's my two cents.
