From (where else?) The Drudge Report. I think it would be fair to say that Rep. Maxine Waters is not a supporter of the Tea Party movement.
“I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.”
Here is what she had to say about the L.A. riots back in 1992, according to Wikipedia,
Waters described the riots as a rebellion, saying “If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable.”
So, just to make things clear, in the liberal la-la land that Democrats like her inhabit, people peacefully assembling to petition the government are bad, people burning buildings and looting are good.
Glad we have that straight now.
