There is no other way to put it Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) were joined by other prominent African Americans to spew some vile racist charges against the tea party. The jobs fair run by the CBC previously featured Congresswoman Maxine Waters telling the tea party to go to hell. Pretty strong words for a woman charged with misusing her office to help her husband's bank get some TARP funds.
This traveling group of African American racial agitators came to God's waiting room (Miami Beach) to spew racially charged venom. Today they are running a jobs fair, but last night they held a town hall where they could talk politics.

"The real enemy is the tea party –- let's remember that," said Rep. Frederica Wilson of Miami Gardens, host of the meeting and jobs fair. "The tea party holds Congress hostage…They have one goal in mind, and that's to make President Obama a one-term president."
Funny last time I checked the tea party was offering ideas, and the Republicans were presenting budgets and programs, while Ms Wilson's has presented nothing.
Ms Wilson feels the reason there is unemployment in the black community is racism:
"When you look at African American males, 40% of them are unemployed, those under 30 years of age. I understand exactly the entire nation must be involved in this recovery but the black community is experiencing a great recession. That's what we're experiencing," Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) told MSNBC.
"And all of the growth in the past 30 years, we see it slipping away. From home ownership, the middle class; it's slipping away from our hands. And it has a lot to do with many issues. Racism, shipping jobs overseas, access -- no access to technology. You know, the digital divide is there and many of the new jobs that's what it requires. So, we have a problem."
Sorry Rep Wilson, I am throwing down the bull sh*t card. I have been out of work since just before election day 2008, many of the people from my community are also unemployed. Since almost every unemployed person in my neighborhood that I know of is Jewish like me, well that must mean Antisemitism is at the heart of our joblessness. Well either that or the fact that your party which has controlled the government for most of my unemployment is doing a lousy job at fixing the economy, your president is doing an awful job at fixing the economy, even when the progressive Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of congress.
I know its hard for a racist like Ms. Wilson to understand, but maybe , just maybe the reason there is high unemployment, and why the Tea Parties want Obama to be a one-term president is because your programs are disaster.
Rep. Maxine Waters of California, who recently said the tea party should "Go straight to hell."
"I'm in church. I'm not going to repeat that," Waters said Monday.
She also said: "We have to stand up and fight. It's fight time...We're not afraid of the tea party…In this struggle, we have to define who we are, what the president is doing and not let our voices be overshadowed by the tea party."
Waters kept at it when Don Graves, executive director of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness at the White House, said an obstacle to creating jobs is "folks who are going to stand in the way and block the legislation that the Congressional Black Caucus has proposed."
"What people are you talking about?" Waters interrupted. "Say tea party. Say it!"
"It was Tea Party Republicans," Graves said, adding that "the president is focused on every community across the country," though "certain communities have been harder than other communities."
"Can you say black?" Waters said.
"Black, African-American, Latino –- we're going to focus on getting people back to work," Graves said meekly, while moderator Tamron Hall of MSNBC called for decorum.
It interesting that Waters did not want to tell someone to go to hell in a church but felt totally comfortable bearing false witness. This president concentrated on everything except jobs for the bulk of his time in office. And as for the CBC bills, if the largest Keynesian stimulus in American history didn't work, maybe pouring more money into the Keynesian toilet wont help either.
The the supposed Reverend, Jesse Jackson made some outrageous charges, saying the Tea Partiers were the ones opposing Reverent Martin Luther King Jr.
The tea party opposing Obama, Jackson said, should be called the "Fort Sumter Tea Party that sought to maintain states' rights and slavery."
"The tea party is a new name on an old game," he said. "Dr. King fought a 'tea party' in Alabama...He had no weapons, but he confronted the tea party."
Nothing like a preacher bearing false witness and trying to split people apart. But that is nothing new for Reverend Hymie-town is it?
Rep. Alcee Hastings, whose congressional career began after he was impeached from his Judge job for taking a bribe of $150,000 added:
Rep. Alcee Hastings of Broward -- who early on in the meeting said "the tea party is the Republican Party" -- later urged the panel to play down the power of the tea party.
"I'm not going to continue down the path of giving them all this credit," Hastings said, telling the crowd to register to vote. "Turn the tea party upside down!"
All of these racial arsonists should be ashamed of themselves. Rather than legitimately search for solutions to America's problems, they hang on to their old broken programs and blame everyone else but themselves.
When Obama was elected, people began to talk about this country entering a post-racial world. But that will never happen as long as the racists in the CBC continue to divide the country as an excuse to cover up their own mistakes.
