Rangel has company. Behold:

I can't decide if these allegations are part of a racist conspiracy from Fox news to discredit strong public servants, or evidence that all black politicians...hell, all black people are evil. Perhaps someone could explain to me, slowly and in simple language, how I should react to this story and what it means?

New toy? That gif, while rad, is so passe. Don't you have one of a white kid crying racism?

Dude, that wasn't persuasive. But I agree with you--the CBC is bound to cry racism, and folks like you will surely seize on that to accuse the CBC of racism.

" folks like you " ??

It's a Dem controlled Congress, a bi-partisan ethics board, and oh yeah... a black President.

Can you just imagine the cries if this occurred with a GOP controlled congress ?

The facts speak for themselves, and if you can't see that now.....

Pffth, this has less to do with any official reason than it does her attitude towards AIPAC.
Of course, one would have to go digging to figure that out, instead of just accepting the MSM commentary at face value - commentary which is becoming more and more irrelevant as people figure out how worthless it is.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Well, there's also an investigation ongoing into Senator John Ensign's "alleged" criminal misdeeds and ethics violations. Kinda hard to pin it all on racism if they're hanging lily-white Ensign out as well. His Republican cohorts are thus far making themselves scarce in coming to his defense.

So, the fact thats she's anti Israel is the real issue here?

Quote:
The findings on the investigation into Waters by the Office of Congressional Ethics are expected to be made public on Monday.

That office, an independent watchdog created by Congress, referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee. The committee turned the matter over to a panel of two Democratic and two Republican lawmakers who have been conducting their own probe for months

“Congressional financial-disclosure forms show Ms. Waters acquired OneUnited stock worth between $250,000 and $500,000 in March 2004, as did Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams joined the board of OneUnited that year. Each sold shares in September 2004 — including Ms. Waters’s entire stake — but Mr. Williams continued to hold varying amount of the company’s stock. In the lawmaker’s most recent financial-disclosure form, dated May 2008 and covering the prior year, Ms. Waters reported that her husband held between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of the bank’s stock. Mr. Williams also received interest payments from a separate holding at the bank, also worth between $250,000 and $500,000. The 2008 form doesn’t specify what that is. Mr. Williams stepped down from the bank’s board last spring. It couldn’t be learned whether he still owns stock in the bank. Mr. Williams didn’t return calls seeking comment.

Waters (along with Rep. Frank) participated directly in pressuring the feds for OneUnited’s piece of the bailout pie. She personally contacted the Treasury Department last December requesting $50 million for the company– and failed to disclose her ties to the bank to them. The government ended up coughing up $12 million in TARP funding for OneUnited — despite another government agency rapping the bank in October 2008 for “operating without effective underwriting standards and practices,” “operating without an effective loan documentation program” and “engaging in speculative investment practices.”

Err ?

Hell, I never said Waters wasn't corrupt, that's kind of a no-shit-sherlock assessment there, given that just about ALL of these jerks and berks are...

Thing is, they only seem to actually get PROSECUTED for it when they start touching those unspoken "Third Rail" items, like how we seem to be Israels bitch (Waters, McKinney), or big bank misconduct (Spitzer), or abuses from former administrations who still have people in power (not just Bush, but Johnson, Nixon, hell, even Kennedy's hangers on did this) - stuff like that.

So this is less about partisanship than about rocking boats that there's some kind of asshole-consensus not to rock, you see.

You ever think that's one reason that Congress is happy to install folks who are obviously corrupt, that it gives them a leash to control the fuckers ?

Jihad Cynthia was/ is bona fide bat shit crazy. She didn't fall far from the nutty tree, as her daddy , a GA legislator, once threatened to " cut " a fellow state Rep....

When Cynthia first lost her seat, daddy Billy declared it was because of..... wait for it .... the " J - E - W - S ". The fact of the matter was, the moderates of her district had had just about enough of her nonsense.

As was the case w/ Cynthia, Maxine is an example of someone who is so completely out of her element and out of their league, they really have no clue of what it is they're doing. They treat their position of power as some sort of entitlement, and that by virtue of their lofty public servants position they see themselves as some sort of all powerful monarchs.

Hell, even Rep Pete Stark (D - CA ) thinks that " the Federal Gov't can do what it wants".

Pete Stark was first elected to the Congress in 1972 ( before many on here were even born, I'd guess )

He is the longest serving congressman from the state of CA.

He is a Democrat.

Oh that Maxine is a feisty one. You go girl! Don't let these honky mutherfuckas kick you around! You and Charlie Rangel, along with the other 8 members of the Congressional Black Caucus under investigation for various crimes have all just been set up, don'tcha know! Set up 'cause you're a racial minority. And so what if your fellow Democrats are asking you to step aside for the good of the Party; or asking you to step aside because these trials will get major news coverage right around Election time. It's all good girl! When you steered bailout money to your minority husband's bank, we all know you were really using that as a symbol for all minority banks, and these accusations are just another example of the oppression of minorities in this post-racial country. Yanno, Maxine, your just cause may become the catalyst for a renewed effort to secure the "motherlode", the long sought after Slavery Reparations justice, finally! So yeah baby, bring it on!

I'm sure they will say that they are withholding judgement until a trial can be conducted and look forward to a full and fair hearing on the facts after which they will respect and abide by the findings.

Bah, you can mock the lady all you like - but McKinney actually put her own ass on the line for what she believed in - her and Butterfly were ON the Dignity when IDF forces rammed it with intent to send it to the bottom, and also aboard Sprit of Humanity along with McGuire when the IDF jumped them in international waters.

Disagree with her if ya like, call her crazy if it pleases you, but have the decency to respect the fact that unlike most folk of political bent, she's willing to stand and deliver personally for what she believes in - while the rest of em kneel, take the money, and bend our whole country over for their masters, and frankly I am sick to death of that bullshit.

Why do we even tolerate our politicians taking money from foreign powers at all, to manipulate our government to serve THEIR interests instead of our own ?

Not just Israel/AIPAC mind you, but ANY of em - that should be an automatic ejection, and disqualification from from further office, period.

And yet we do tolerate it, and then we look the other way while those who took the money ostracise those who wouldn't ?

How blind do you have to be to not see this as a threat to the security and operation of our country, when foreign powers can buy our lawmakers right in front of us and no one says a word ?

Shit, would you be so forgiving if Iraq or Afghanistan bought up the head of the Judiciary committee and ordered him to impeach the pres ?

Oh wait, maybe you would, cause you're so partisan you cannot see the methods matter as much as the ends...

Sad, that.

Mince, I'll take a stab at this. I am typing slowly. All black people are corrupt. They have not evolved enough to pass on instant gratification, hence the rampant crime, drug use, and illegitimate children. They can not think past NOW. They have no ability to plan for the future. This is an evolutionary change that whites, latinos, and Asians had to develop to live in areas that required planning. You could not sit by a fucking watering hole and wait for prey to just walk up. You had to plan on food for the winter. Not eat it all when harvested. I believe this is why black bitches are fat....and why whites asians and latinos evolved the ability to see tomorrow....Well, it sounds plausible
