Tiger in Spain 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Definitive proof that racial solidarity will trump clear thought and wise decision making every time. Congressional Black Caucus gives Jefferson standing ovationWASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day that the 110th Democratic-led Congress convenes with a plan to immediately pass lobbyist and ethics reforms, the Congressional Black Caucus Thursday gave a standing ovation to Rep. William Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat who faces an FBI probe into bribery allegations. "The haters... and negative nabobs...the people who spoke against him couldn't prevail against the people who spoke for him," Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, master of ceremonies for the CBC's celebratory event, said Thursday morning. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, led the charge to remove Jefferson from the House Ways and Means Committee last spring and has said she will not consider reinstating him to the powerful post until he is cleared of all allegations. The FBI is currently conducting an investigation that alleges Jefferson accepted $100,000 from a telecommunications businessman -- $90,000 of which was later recovered in the congressman's freezer.

Hard to participate when folks like Jefferson aren' t in our distirct. Twinkle, Twinkle ? I have no clue what that's suppose to mean. But I do find it curious that so many black Americans condone illegal behavior from their elected officials, and keep voting their criminals back in office.

Its also something a corrupt Democrat congressman (sorry for the redundancy) would say to a "hater". You should check into Tennessee and Memphis politics. This type of action is a regular occurance there. Last time I was up there, their corrupt and crazy mayor who's run the city into the dirt was preparing to fight Joe Frasier instead of governing.

It just ticks me off. We're told how important it is to vote, and that we fought all these wars and all those soldiers died so we could vote for our leaders, and then groups like the Black Caucus make these positions of elected offices such complete jokes as they run rough shod over the law. When the smallest effort to clean up these thugs gets any attention, they bring out the race card and call real citizens 'haters'. Well F them, they're the ones who broke the law in the 1st place. Who the hell are they to call anyone 'haters' ? Hell yeah, we hate that ****. It's making a mockery of our entire political system. Pisses me off, that's all.

CCTAU 3,345 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 How come I never see articles about the White Congressional Caucus? They are otherwise known as "A Press Release from the Office of Robert Byrd". Unfortunately any time anyone brings up something like this, folks want to claim KKK. But what would be wrong with caucasion solidarity? Would that not be the same as black solidarity? And if so, why does it always come back to the KKK? I'm just wondering because it seems as we move along towards protecting every minority in the US, we move away from true equality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
