Dem Rep Sheila Jackson Lee Tells NAACP: "All Those Who Wore Sheets a Long Time Ago Lifted Them Off to Wear Tea Party Clothing" (Applause!)

Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) told the NAACP this week that those who wore sheets lifted them off and are now wearing tea party clothing.
The progressive website ** This was met with great applause from the leftist crowd. **
Show Me Progress reported on her speech:
And I thank you professor very much. I’m going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don’t you be fooled. [voices: "That's right.", applause] Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don’t let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don’t let them fool you on that [applause]….
Hat Tip Jimbo
Umm… Sheila. The KKK is a democratic group.

John Hetman commented:
Sheila Jackson has a long reputation as a hack politician who fits in well with the racist crowd at the NAACP. Why should any of us be surprised as the kinds of overt racism and mendacity that comes out of the Left, be it SEIU, Acorn or the NAACP, or the Obama Administration, especially the DOJ.
wildwood commented:
Yeah, may I remind her highness that the KKK, not just Byrd, were democrats, ALL OF EM, including all the democrats who prevented former slaves who serving in CONGRESS (yes, there were) and then citizens from voting, all the way up to the civil rights amendment. ALL DEMOCRATS.
Slappy commented:
I didn’t know Robert Byrd was a member of the Tea Party before his “untimely” demise. Also, if it’s so obvious that the Tea Party are filled with such racists, why did members of the Congressional Black Caucus have to lie and make up allegations of racist comments by Tea Party members the day they passed ObamaCare? Funny that, huh?
This line of attack against Tea Party members illustrates the types of children that are in control of Congress right now. Seriously. These constant accusations of racism being used by Leftists against opponents of Obama and those that oppose their far Left agenda is pathetic beyond belief. We should be turning it around and calling idiots like Sheila Jackson Lee racists since these type of allegations illustrate an animus against white people who simply disagree with her crowd on policy issues. I would be willing to bet that she and the rest of her far Left buddies think more about race on a daily basis than most conservatives do.

Let’s pray for more of this. It’s gonna backfire because so many guilt-ridden whites thought that they attoned for this when they elected Oilbromide. Now they’re just sick of hearing it all the time.
Opus #6 commented:
Nice try.
Tea Partiers are for the Constitution. Small government. Lower taxes. Free markets. Prosperity.
I refuse to let this lying race-baiter define me.
bbh commented:
Hey Sheila:
Shouldn’t you be setting up shop on the aisle in advance of the next State of the Union address? You wouldn’t want to miss all that camera time by waiting too long would you?
Granny commented:
Sheila must have forgotten about the late Senator Robert Byrd – LONG long an acknowledged KKK grand poobah.

Isn’t this the Einstein that asked about the Mars Rover pictures, (and I’m paraphrasing) “Is that were the astronauts landed?”
You can already see the race hustlers trying to set up the Tea Party as being the boogie man for the up coming mid term elections.
Since the Democrats can’t give the American people a reason to vote for them, they want to give a reason not to vote for a Republican. They will tell the biggest, most blatant lies in order to achieve their goal of staying in power.
They’ll lie with a straight face since they actually believe the b.s they’re shoveling out. The Saul Alinsky children are really standing out these days.
Savage is right, liberalism is a mental disorder.
Robert commented:
Well, she added her own B.S. to it all right.
Kevin W. commented:
Sorry, but I missed another point I have to make.
“Don’t let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America.”
Hey Shelia, you can make $100,000 by showing your evidence to Andrew Breitbart. We’ll be waiting you for to hand in your documentation of being spit on.
