Maxine Waters "The Tea Party can go to hell"

[extrmmxer]

I was just watching my local ABC news and Waters had some type of rally going on in LA, named American Dream. The clip on the news had a few people saying they can't find work. The clip also had Waters saying the Tea Party can go to hell. Hopefully somebody tubed it.

It was outrageous! She's crazy

Every time Maxine Waters opens her mouth, the Founding Fathers roll over.

[CaptUSA]

the Tea Party can go to hell.

We're there, Maxine, and we're sick of the way you're running it!

[WilliamC]

Poor Maxine, she's apt to be in a really really small minority come 2012.

Oh, she already is.

Nevermind.

The crowd she was speaking to was your typical government handout recipients. It's basically a microcosm of why our country is in so much trouble. So happy the money bomb is kicking butt today.

[Feeding the Abscess]

For the most part, I agree with her.

For the most part, I agree with her.

We need the tea party. If we lose that branding, we have lost the Republican nomination. You know that, right?

There is a good reason why Perry is trying so hard to proclaim himself tea party. Of course it is a lie, but he understands the power behind it.

Unfortunately, I think you're right. But I really, really don't like being associated with the TP anymore. Nowadays that entails being associated with the likes of Neocon Allen West, Neocon Marco Rubio, Neocon Michele Bachmann, LimbaughHannityBeck, and Sarah Palin. No thanks.

Not the tea party patriots from what I can tell. Lots of Ron Paul people in there.

[DamianTV]

Tea Party does not mean Tea-O-Con, and Ron Paul supporter does not necessarily mean Tea Party supporter either. There are Tea Party Hijackers who just wear the Lables because its "popular" and still peddle their anti-liberty propoganda.

Guess I'm going to hell

[susano]

I lived in Los Angeles during the post Rodney King riots where those thugs dragged Reginald Denny from his semi and bashed his skull in with a concrete block. Maxine Waters defended those monsters because she is an ignorant, racist, lowlife with a chip on her shoulder. I cringe when I think of malevolent idiots like her in our congress. She's not the only one, either.

[nobody's_hero]

People in her district know exactly what Maxine's intentions are, and yet she is still in office. That should tell you that we might as well not get riled up about her. The really dangerous people are the ones who vote for her, time and time again.

"Tea Party" folk like rick Perry and Allan West can go to hell.

I was actually more horrified by her "revised" statement than the initial slip of the tongue.

Afraid Maxine will see hell before many of us !

Feeling the Heat Maxine Waters? Well, Old racist leather-face herself... goes on the offensive.


The long-delayed ethics probe (http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/hey-what-happened-to-that-maxine-waters-ethics-trial/) of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) may be underway again, however Waters is now threatening to sue the House Ethics Committee.

Waters is accused of using her influence to gain special treatment for Massachusetts-based bank OneUnited, which received $12 million in bailout funds. Changing a law (http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/fdic-denies-maintaining-list-of-banks-with-prominent-connections-pjm-exclusive/) was required in order to get them the money. Her husband, former Ambassador Sidney Williams, owned more than $350,000 in stock in the bank, and had also been a board member.
Because of infighting following the November 2010 election, her trial had been postponed indefinitely. Waters is now seeking to have the case dismissed and is threatening legal action against the committee as well. According to Politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/59303.html):

Rep. Maxine Waters is calling for the House Ethics Committee to dismiss the long-running case against her, claiming she can’t get fair treatment from the secretive panel in the wake of allegations that staffers improperly shared information in an investigation into her finances.
In another story, Politico claims (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/59415.html) information about Waters’ finances was funneled to Republicans on the committee improperly:


Blake Chisam, the former staff director and chief counsel for the Ethics Committee, accused the two lead investigators in the Waters probe of secretly feeding information to Republicans on the Ethics Committee, including [Congressman Jo] Bonner. Chisam also accused the staffers of misleading lawmakers and other staff on the status of the investigation.
Since these two stories broke, the committee has hired outside counsel to continue the investigation. NPR reports (http://www.npr.org/2011/07/20/138547983/outside-counsel-named-to-investigate-rep-waters):

The House ethics committee has named Washington lawyer Billy Martin as an outside counsel to investigate California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.
The announcement Wednesday follows months of conflict in the committee over handling of the case.
It’s notable that Waters is not asking for the case to be dismissed on the merits, but only because she claims she can no longer get a fair trial. According to Politico:

[Waters’ attorney Stan Brand] laid out several “categories of misconduct by current Committee members and staff,” including “prohibited and prejudicial ex parte communications” … “internal and malicious misleading of members and staff relating to the investigation” by the two ex-staffers; “Evidence of partiality and bias” against Waters; “the use of trumped-up federal obstruction and perjury charges by Committee counsel…”; and “the illegal leaking of confidential Committee documents, transcripts, emails and other information to the media to create a miss-impression regarding both the strength of the case against [Waters] and the Committee ability to proceed with the case.”
According to the Legal Times (http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2011/07/house-ethics-hires-billy-martin-as-outside-counsel.html), Martin is a well-known trial lawyer with a resume that includes the Department of Justice, former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, and former Atlanta mayor Bill Campbell.

Hopefully the appointment of the special investigator in this case will speed things to a resolution. This case has been still for over a year, the delay originally caused by supposed new evidence in the case:

Her trial was delayed because new evidence had supposedly come to light. What that evidence is was not specified. But according to a story on (http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-11-26/news/24946920_1_mikael-moore-oneunited-bank-ethics-trial)SFGate (http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-11-26/news/24946920_1_mikael-moore-oneunited-bank-ethics-trial). (http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-11-26/news/24946920_1_mikael-moore-oneunited-bank-ethics-trial)com (http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-11-26/news/24946920_1_mikael-moore-oneunited-bank-ethics-trial), at least part of that evidence was an email from her grandson Mikael Moore, who is also her chief of staff:
The e-mail never mentioned OneUnited. Moore’s memo said Waters was “under the explicit impression” that provisions affecting small and minority-owned banks were still in the bailout bill. …
Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the Financial Services Committee, said in an interview that he inserted the provision for minority banks to protect OneUnited — because it is based in his state.
He said of Waters, “We never discussed it.”

The provision sought by Maxine Waters — and inserted by Barney Frank — told the Treasury Department that it should consider — for bailout money — banks that had an asset size of $1 billion or less, and whose size dropped to a lower range because they owned devalued preferred stock in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The only bank that language would affect was OneUnited.
This case needs to be resolved one way or another, although it’s highly unlikely Waters will receive serious punishment even were she to be convicted.
