…is outright, blatant, baldfaced lies.
Rep. Frederica Wilson and her co-conspirators in the Black Caucus hector the TEA Party movement for wanting to reinstitute slavery, making clear that to her, ” …the real enemy is the [sic] Tea Party.”*
And you know, in part she is right. HER real enemies ARE those who desire justice, fiscal responsibility and a respect for the rule of law, in other words, TEA Party folks. Lying about what TEA Party principles are is simply standard operating procedure for this class of scum.
At that same meeting, for example, one of Wilson’s co-conspirators, Jesse Jackson (non “reverend” he), claimed that TEA Party folks are members of the same class of people that once, in his words, comprised a “Fort Sumter Tea Party that sought to maintain states’ rights and slavery.”
That’s right folks. This class of slanderers claims that people whose entire stated aims (and behaviors) have been focused on calling the “feddle gummint” to account for fiscal irresponsibility, a disrespect for the rule of law and for institutionalized injustices just want to return black folk to the plantation as slaves.
And, for some of them in their deluded fantasies, this may be an honest–though psychotic–view. Others, like Wilson, Jackson and Waters, simply and correctly see justice, the rule of law and fiscal responsibility as serious threats to their exercise of power and influence, and so any calls for real justice, genuine fiscal responsibility and serious adherence to the rule of law are enemy action.
*I get really tired of this “THE tea Party” construction. It’s even more disgusting and misleading than simply stupid constructions popularized by the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind like “War on Terror” (making war on an emotion is stupid, but not as deceptive as “THE Tea Party”). Folks, as ANYONE who has more working brain cells than a 10-year-old cracked crock of spoiled kimchi knows by now, there is no “THE Tea Party”. There are various groups, many not even loosely affiliated, who have held rallies, maintain communications with like-minded folks who volunteer their contact info and who all espouse similar aims. Rarely does it seep through the “damn ’em all” filter the Hivemind has erected that “TEA Party” affiliation generally means just what I described above: a desire to call the “feddle gummint” to heel to be instructed that The People require justice, an adherence to the rule of law and fiscal responsibility from their government.
Of course, those things are anathema to the Hivemind as well, but knowing that those concepts resonate well with people in general, in connivance with their co-conspirators and fellow travelers in the politburo and nomenklatura, they seek to obfuscate, and, when that is not enough, simply lie about those who hold typical TEA Party values.
