Huh?… Rep. Elijah Cummings: 'Best Way Tea Party Can Fight Their Racism… Is to Help Folks Get Jobs" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, July 16, 2010, 12:08 PM
Rep. Elijah Cummings was on with Andrea Mitchell this week to discuss the bogus tea party racism story. Cummings said,
“The best way that the tea party can rid racism from their ranks is to help people get jobs.”
Huh?
What does he think the tea party is, an employment agency?…
What does he want the tea party to do?… Ram through another stimulus? Pass the hat? Start making smoothies?
Unreal.
And, besides… When the tea party does create jobs they just beat the hell out of them anyway. That’s worked really well.
Does Elijah have any idea what the h*ll he’s talking about?

Well, when you think about it, someone needs to come up with some ideas on how to generate new jobs for America.
Obviously BO and the Dem Party don’t have a clue.
The TEA Party is America’s best hope.
JKB commented:
Everybody’s got an idea of what the Tea Party should be doing. When just last year, they denied the Tea Party’s existence. So last year they were nobody, this year they are somebody but strangely, the way they should proceed is to do what others want?
Fact is, the Tea Party doesn’t want to give people jobs as a token but rather to create a climate for a robust economy that is rife with employment opportunities. I know, it’s crazy. Jobs, for which you owe no politician or political group tribute. That is some radical stuff.
BTW, congressman, the Tea Party is going to get people jobs by making it impossible for you and your ilk to continue your agenda thus creating a fertile environment for small business creation, which is where new jobs come from. Unfortunately, you or many of your congressional compatriots will have to lose your jobs for a significant number of Americans to get their job. Your sacrifice will be appreciated and then you’ll be promptly forgotten.
newton commented:
Is this man begging for jobs?
Maybe he should understand basic economics here: jobs don’t just come up by magic!
He and too many of his own have been so used to receiving and eating the few scraps falling off the Democrats’ table that they have become too ignorant of how jobs are created in the first place!
Pick up some DIGNITY here! Stop begging for jobs and start learning how to MAKE JOBS in the first place!
Once that happens and you begin to taste the flavor of real work and dignity, the Democrat crumbs are going to taste too sour for eating… which is why the Democrats want to keep you off the table and BEGGING FOR SCRAPS!
Wake up!
Elly commented:
I know many tea party patriots who are all for employment – not to purge themselves of some nonexistant racism – but so that they can pay their bills!
Rep. Elijah Cummings: Unemployment ranks very high on patriot’s list of concerns. This would be why we are ::against:: Illegal immigration, Cap & Trade, a bogus ban on drilling, the now proven wasteful and ineffective stimulus plan, Obamacare – which will cost Rep. Elijah Cumming’s constituents alot more money than they think – for a whole lot less.
down with dems commented:
The Tea Party is made up of a lot of small business owners who are prevented from hiring because of Obama/Democrat policies — that’s the whole reason there IS a Tea Party. Once the Tea Party puts in elected officials who have a clue what they’re doing and some functional legislation gets passed, then those members of the Tea Party can start hiring.

re: [The TEA Party is America’s best hope.]
Amen to that!!
(i believe the TPM has also frightened some Rep cronies, not to mention those who are working against the TPM, about losing their comfy cushy JOBS as well..)

Mrgoodwench commented:
Where would the NAACP and Cummings like to work ? North or South Vietnam ?
DocScience commented:
Every “real” black person knows that hiring is determined at the secret white folks meetings.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to really understand what Rep Cummings believes on other topics.
Might be AMAZING what America could learn.
Sandy commented:
Obama is like a demented cookoo clock. It was a Grade C felony last week for reporters to show pictures of the oil spill but now that the new cap appears to be working — Out he comes to take the credit. We did this and we accomplished that. Did he suck up the oil with a straw as he said he would? If not then he had nothing to do with the cap.
If we don’t bring about some balance after the next election — he will be erecting statues to himself on every street corner.
Sandy commented:
Cummings its about Private Industry. Stop cutting them off at the knees and watch them create jobs. Gee I said the forbidden word Private Industry–I may turn into a pillar of Salt substitute.
ice commented:
So, Mr. Cummings how many jobs did the NAACP save or create this week?
The Tea Party has created jobs, Mr. Cummings. The SEIU, Moveon.org, Whitehouse, Think Progress, Crash the Tea Party, Coffee Party, Center for American Progress, and the Main Stream Media, have all put people to work trying to infiltrate, manufacture information, and condemn the Tea Party organization. Alot of Liberals should thank the Tea Party every time they get their pay check.
Mr. Cummings, how many jobs will the New Black Panthers create this quarter?
Sickofobama commented:
Elijah Cummings is hitting the pipe too much lately.
You accuse Tea Partiers of racism and now want them (whoever them are because the Tea Party is not an organization) to give the people you have made unemployed jobs?
The Tea Party is trying to get fools like you out of office so capitalism can return so people can get jobs.
Cummings is the epitomy of the liberal mindset.

What a fu#kin’ moron
BarbaraS commented:
Let them keep on talking. Let the country see them for what they are. This is comedy gold and a gift that keeps on giving.
AuntieMadder commented:
Perhaps he means that if the Tea Party wants the accusations that it’s a racist movement to stop, Tea Partiers should give jobs to NAACP-approved blacks. It’s just another attempt by militant black racists to extort something from another group or other persons under threat of yet more slander and intimidation. Just another day at work for the race-baiters, when you think about it.

I wish you could actually pay for the privilege to debate these idiots in public.
So many of these “entitlement” public servants would be exposed as the uneducated, simple minded dolts they really are.

This just reaffirms the ignorance of the democrats.
He’s no different than Obama. Blaming others when he and his communist friends are responsible for driving this economy into a black hole.

This country has turned into absolute evil.
The Mexicans have taken southern California, Barak is suing Arizona, the illegal supporters are calling on God to wipe out the white man — this is evil that Obama has brought.
Granny commented:
Why does the Tea Party need to fight “their racism”? The only racism I’ve seen in quite some while comes from the likes of Nation of Islam and the NAACP – oh, and fools like this congress critter and Sheila what’s her name Lee.
kato commented:
We’ve carved out affirmative-action districts just so these lamebrains can get elected.
I guess it plays well among the freeloaders who want their Obama Money.
kato commented:
Do you think he pays any taxes?
Or is that just for white folk?
templar knight commented:
“…Sheila what’s her name Lee.”
Is that the one from North, or is it, South Vietnam?
“We Won! Yay!” There, I fixed it. We won the Vietnam War and everything. After the liberals said we lost it, now they say all we had to do was say we won it.
I wish all problems could be solved that easily. Of course, I’m still looking for So. Vietnam on my new atlas. Hmm…looks like my atlas already needs updating. Darn! Things change so fast nowadays.
Rock commented:
Oh I got it now it is the Tea Party that keeps erecting bureaucratic barriers to clean up efforts in the Gulf, It was the Tea Party that prevented skimmers going out because of number of life preservers, it is the Tea Party that is holding up cleanup claiming one group over another is getting preferred treatment, and it is the Tea Party that is destroying lives and lively hoods with the constant meddling. Well a news flash for Oby and gang, a lot of rules and equipment where lacking for the Katrina mess, but men and women where allowed to attack the problems, save lives, and property all without some CZAR running his mouth. Just another example of big Government trying to be the only solution. So Mr. Cummings do your job and the rest of us will do ours. And maybe you might consider this, when we run out of money to pay you salary, just who is going to pay yours? I honestly do not believe the One’s stash is going to be part of sharing the wealth agenda. One other comment Mr. Cummings I do not believe Americans see a bunch of DOJ ambulance chaser suing AZ. as a honest claim as to putting Americans to work.
Robert commented:
“They should not tolerate racism in their ranks.”
The Congress of which he is a member
should not tolerate racism in their ranks.
There should NOT be such a thing as a
Congressional Black Caucus,
where whites are denied participation.

I am aghast. These black officials must take dumb pills each morning. and their staff too. To let him say these things knowingly.

OT (but job related)..
State of Pelosi’s State 2008
[Between 1970 and 2008 the share of California’s population comprised
of immigrants (legal and illegal) tripled, growing from 9 percent to 27 percent. This Memorandum examines some of the ways California has changed over the last four decades. Historically, California has not been a state with a disproportionately large unskilled population, like Appalachia or parts of the South. As a result of immigration, however, by 2008 California had the least-educated labor force in the nation in terms of the share its workers without a high school education. This change has important implications for the state.]
High School Dropouts (2008)
Foreign-Born Percentage (2007)
[edited by me:
On the High School Dropouts map, look at the red and orange states with the most high school dropouts in the laborforce. Notice how most of those states are also colored red or orange on the Foreign-Born map for having the most immigrants.
OK, now look at the 18 green states on the High School Dropouts map
that have the smallest dropout rate. Then, note that all but three of
those green lowest-dropout states are colored on the Foreign-Born map
as either green or yellow for having the lowest rates of immigration.
(believe the 3 are Massachusetts, Connecticut & Hawaii)

The Tea Party DOES create jobs!
Look at all those SEIU thugs paid to o to Tea Party rallies…
and the astroturf liberals paid to go to the rallies..
and the folks that print the astroturf liberals signs…
and the folks paid to drive busses of these astroturf liberals to rallies…
I think the Tea Party has created more jobs than the white house (if you don’t count the chef..)!

OK! Cummings i’ll take your job! You know spread the wealth! I do not want your part of taking kick backs though! You, sir, are a racist moron!

Freddy commented:
Smaller government, lower taxes, fewer bad government regulations.
These ARE job creating policies supported by the Tea Party!
BarbaraS commented:
“The best way that the tea party can rid racism from their ranks is to help people get jobs.”
Only jobs for blacks, of course. No whites allowed. That would be racist.
Joanne commented:
Racists calling others racist – priceless. Blah, blah, blah.
Joanne commented:
What this guy is saying is that it is the white tea partiers who are the ones who are in a position to give people jobs and they aren’t doing it. Bad, bad white tea partiers for not hiring people. This guy is looney and is projecting blame on the white tea partiers for people not having jobs – figures.

The tea parties are there to ensure that elected Democrats lose their job, so USA can start creating jobs again.

Hmmm . . . 37 bureaucrats supervising 78 programs hiring 6 unemployable Democrats each equals how many integrated community workers?

I smell fear from the left, TPM march forward and take back America from those who could not have created it. powder is dry.
raisenettes commented:
Looks like the NAACP has taken a few race baiting lessons from hustler Obama.
The Arizona law concerning illegals would not have turned into a controversy had it not been a MANUFACTURED CONTROVERSY instigated by Obama.
This is the Obama pattern of behavior, manufacture a crisis in order to exploit the crisis to acheive his political ends.
He did the same thing with Obamacare.
The NAACP is trying to mimic Obama’s deceitful tactics and MANUFACTURING CONTROVERSY by
accusing Tea Party members of being racist.
In both instances, the Arizona law, as well as the Tea Party, there is not a shred of evidence of the alledged racism.
Obama and ilk are trying to turn back the clock and make people of all colors hate each other for their own political gain.
Divide and conquer.
TaSS commented:
We are trying to introduce fiscally sound governmental policies which would allow people to keep more of the money they earn and thus fuel the American economy. In eventuality, it is about more money, more jobs, more choice for the American people.
It’s not white or black. It’s green baby.

To the NAACP
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1″Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3″Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
So let me give you some advise. Shut up. Yes. Sit down. Shut up. Maybe someday, a child will hand you a clue. Until then, you are irrelevant, and we.don’t.care.about.you.
Congressman, the Tea Party people neither need nor want for you to speak for or about us. It should be the NAACP, who limits their membership and goals to be for some, to join with the Tea Party groups, who have no such limits. It should be the NAACP to address and clean out their own eyes because someday, it will be those that stood with us that will reap the rewards of our efforts, and those that stood with you and the failed NAACP that will reap from the vines filled will hate and blame.
You can’t hurt us anymore. You can’t define us anymore. We won’t bend. We won’t back up. We don’t hear you anymore. Last year we burned white hot and that scared you, but obviously not enough. This year we are cold, and that coldness is our defense. That is what we will use to win.
