Dem Rep. Richardson Says House Investigation Is Racist
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, November 4, 2011, 6:19 PM
Democrat Laura Richardson told reporters today that the bipartisan House Ethics Committee was investigating her because she’s African-American.
The AP reported, via FOX Nation:
Rep. Laura Richardson charged Friday the House Ethics Committee has singled her out for scrutiny because she’s African-American.
Richardson, D-Calif., effectively announced the committee’s investigation before the panel revealed it, accusing fellow lawmakers of ignoring wrongdoing by others in order to focus on her.
The Ethics Committee is looking into whether she improperly used staff for political purposes.
The committee is composed of five members from each party. The ranking Democrat is a Hispanic, Rep. Linda Sanchez of California. Other Democratic members are Rep. Donna Edwards, an African-American from Maryland; Rep. Pedro Pierluisi, who represents Puerto Rico; John Yarmuth of Kentucky; and Joe Courtney of Connecticut. The five Republicans are all white men. They are Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama, the committee chairman; Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas; Rep. K. Michael Conaway of Texas; Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania; and Gregg Harper of Mississippi.

Notice they just say “John Yarmuth of Kentucky” instead of pointing out that he is white like they did the Republicans?

Vote her out. Americans are sick of lawmakers who are black using the race card when they are under investigation. If so Lilly White, no pun intended, then no worries, right.
Sounds like she has just convicted herself and that means less time on her and more time to get out the vote and her kicked out of office.
SERIOUSLY, WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY IS THE THEME THIS YEAR, SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. NOW, AMERICANS NEED TO GET PEOPLE LIKE HER OUT OF OFFICE AND HOME WITH GRAND BABIES.

Of course it’s racist. She’s black (though she sure doesn’t look like one of the bros and sis’s down in da hood), and more importantly DEMOCRAT.
You know the party; no standards of morality, so therefore no problem as to what she may have done illegally.

When in doubt (or guilty) play the Dem’s race card. Ad nauseum.

No its not racist, you lady and I don’t capitalize “Lady” intentionally, are a thief.
Content of your character, NOT the color of your skin.

Well, if they don’t want all Republicans to be white, maybe they should begin changing their party affiliation. Republicans can’t elect blacks or hispanics or orientals if the respective races won’t campaign as Republicans or won’t vote for those who do.
What a whining douchebag. Biss off, pitch!
Liz commented:
I look more African American than she does. Maybe I’m being discriminated against too. I didn’t even get elected and given a chance for graft and corruption. Ingrate.
MN Jim commented:
Rep Richardson claims to be black. She is also fat and dumpy. But if she wasn’t dirty, she wouldn’t be subject of an ethics investigation.
Ipso Facto commented:
We have a real problem in America with certain defiant and angry blacks and other minorities that find their way into government who then conduct themselves like royalty without any regard for their staffs, ethics or the law. It’s common by now isn’t it?
What many people fail to realize is that when people get to walk around the turnstile simply because of their race, they also get a pass on their character, their work ethic, their ability to take negative feedback and learn from it, or any other dysfunction they may have. We thus, in affirmative action, are moving people up the ladder that shouldn’t even be on the ladder. And we are also throwing good people off the ladder to give minorities the places they do not deserve.
This is yet another example of the unintended consequences of affirmative action. I am tired of people taking away my rights and giving them to other people because of their minority status. We have way too many minorities in America that have jobs and positions for which they are neither intellectually capable, nor qualified for the work they are supposed to be doing. These people are like having thousands of monkey wrenches in the machine of our economy.
The sooner we rid ourselves of these people and the practice of giving them preference the better. Clearly, this does not apply to all minorities, however, it certainly applies to a good number of them. When we talk about getting our economy back on track, people like Rep. Richardson should be given toilet brushes to do the jobs they are clearly suited for.

…and the media is only going after Cain for playing the race card…

That skeezer is black?
CommieJuice commented:
What a beaut this chickenhead is, no doubt driving the fellas wild.
These crooks like Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson want a pass because of their race. I say give it to them… a one way pass to Zimbabwe or Cuba and we know how much they love Cuba and the other dictator.
Why aren’t the losers at MSLSD and Commie News Network criticizing her for using the race card like they did when Herman Cain was defending himself?
Apparently every victim is a Dimocrat, but not every Dimocrat is a victim. That is left for a select few.
Rachelle commented:
QUESTION: Is there anyone in the Congressional Black Caucus who is not under investigation for wrongdoing?
Why do they elect such scum?
