The use of KKK imagery--historically associated with Democrats, not Republicans--to describe the Tea Party would not be unique to Hayes. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) recently used a burning cross to provide the "T" in "Tea Party" in a fundraising email. Hayes's "dog whistle" was more clever, but--if intentional--no less offensive.
I had read about Grayson's despicable e-mail already from another source, but did some digging this morning and found this interview of Grayson by Al Sharpton that goes along with it: http://ow.ly/i/3utnX/original
Here's the image Grayson sent with his fundraising e-mail:
I assume the Sharpton interview was done in his capacity as commentator on MSNBC.
It's pretty apparent there's a "marketing" blitz taking place right now designed to paint conservatives - Republicans and Tea Party, specifically - as racists.
This reeks of Axelgrease, IMO.
This far out from the mid-terms, it's a pretty clear indication the Dem's are very worried about losing the Senate next year. This is vile, heinous stuff.
I appreciate the warning that the rich and exploitive ( Marriot ) are trying to screw the working man again.
It makes sense that these hummers of the Internationale would focus on the R's at this time. The D's are already onboard for an amnesty which most agree would result in 50 million criminal trespassers getting your money for their health care, income, schooling, etc. while displacing Americans and LEGAL immigrants from their jobs.
Thanks for the heads up. I have some letters to write.
Immigration reform is badly needed. The existing racist System ( from racist Ted Kennedy & co ) is an affront to rational honest men.
Unfortunately I doubt that any actual reform of these racist rules will happen. D.C. will continue to push for underpaid servants, exclusion of non-favored nationalities and minorities, higher unemployment, and higher taxes for those left working.
Glad to see you posting these horrible examples of how badly the current Policies are screwing us.
Aesquire: I wondered how long it would take to discover the WHY of why CGI got the contract. Not long at all, as it turns out. From your link:
quote:
First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract [emphasis mine] to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
...George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account [emphasis mine]. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government. A senior vice president for the company testified this week before The House Committee on Energy and Commerce that four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.
The sputum from Grayson is most disturbing. How can any American believe his most un-American speech? The incivility of the speech of the Democrats and Obama in particular over the past several weeks should make ALL Americans wonder if Democratic politics have morphed into dictatorial or monarchical aspirations. This is totally unacceptable discourse. Any of you ProgLibs wish to chime in? Surprise me.
Duh! the Klan, the political action arm of the Democrat Party, has been taboo/denied since Nixon. The lie told since then is that R's are racist ( some sure are ) and the D's are the party of the Minorities.
50 years of plantation attitude really haven't changed. Note how heroic the D's treat folk like West & Rice. ( like escaped slaves )
I agree with his criticism on current alleged policy......,
but the whole "dropping a bomb in the desert to scare them" thing won't work any better now that it would have in WW2.
Yes, some wanted to set off a nuke off the coast of Japan to show the Emperor he was beat. As it turned out that would not have worked. Burning Hiroshima didn't work. Burning Nagasaki didn't work.
Not until it hit home that a Division (?9000 ) of troops were wiped out at Nagasaki, and that the American's hell weapon worked on the military, did the Emperor surrender. And he was nearly murdered on the way to the radio station by a cabal of Generals that were hard core.
Iran, I assure you, is not run by folk more rational than WW2 Japanese Generals.
To be fair, this isn't all 0bama's fault. He's certainly made it crushingly worse, however:

It's great to see that CBS is finally having just a bit of coverage of Benghazi. It's only 13+ months late. How do you deal with the embarrassment of finally covering a major news story 13 months late?
