Maxine Waters Gets To Eat Her Words
by Big Dog on Aug 3, 2010 at 04:58 Political
There is a saying about people who live in glass houses not throwing stones. It took over a decade but Maxine Waters has broken her glass house with the stone she threw at Newt Gingrich. When Newt was charged with violating House Ethics rules Waters had a field day going after him. Oh yes, she was pretty upset and told us all that it took a while but now we would find out who Gingrich is.
NO, WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.
WE THOUGHT YOU HAD.
BUT FINALLY AFTER THE FILING OF MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH AND 14 MONTHS LATER, THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE FOUND THE SPEAKER GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY ON ONE, TWO, THREE COUNTS OF VIOLENTING HOUSE RULES BY MISUSE — VIOLATING HOUSE RULES BY MISUSING COMMITTEE RESOURCES AND WE’VE APPOINTED AN OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE ANOTHER SERIOUS CHARGE ABOUT THE SPEAKER’S POLITICAL GOPAC OPERATION.
WELL, IT’S ABOUT TIME.
BELIEVE ME, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOES NOT APPRECIATE DOUBLE STANDARDS.
WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER.
NO ONE SHOULD BE SO BIG, SO IMPORTANT, SO POWERFUL THEY CAN VIOLATE THE RULES OF THIS HOUSE AND THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES.
NEWT MAY BE SPEAKER.
HOWEVER, HE, TOO, MUST ACCOUNT FOR ANY AND ALL WRONGDOING.
IT’S ABOUT TIME.
LET’S GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF FINDING OUT WHO NEWT GINGRICH REALLY IS. CSPAN
Well, well, well. It seems that now Maxine has ethics problems of her own. She claims she is innocent and did nothing wrong but it is obvious that she had a conflict of interest and was involved in helping a bank in which her husband was invested. She did something wrong and charges have been brought against her.
Let me put this in words she will understand:
BELIEVE ME, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOES NOT APPRECIATE DOUBLE STANDARDS.
WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER.
NO ONE SHOULD BE SO BIG, SO IMPORTANT, SO POWERFUL THEY CAN VIOLATE THE RULES OF THIS HOUSE AND THE LAWS OF THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES.
America also does not appreciate Socialism and this Congresswoman is all about Socialism. So let’s do the country a favor this fall and vote this scumbag out of office. Let us hold her to the standard she expected Gingrich to be held to. She needs to go.
But not until we have a messy trial. I would love to see this babbling moron trying to explain herself.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

This “scumbag”, as you so eloquently put it, is just another example of someone with no talent, and no good work ethic, trying to enrich herself at the taxpayer’s expense- if she wasn’t doing this, she would be on welfare.
Just another loudmouth socialist piggybacking on the taxpayer.
Let’s do scrape this chancre on the butt of America off this November, if she hasn’t been thrown in jail by then.
If Waters is guilty she should suffer the consequences the same as Rangel (and I support calls for Rangel to resign) but Waters’ alleged ethics violations don’t give anyone an excuse to rewrite history as Blake has just done.
Unlike Blake’s faulty image of Waters, she is actually a woman who has worked incredibly hard over the years to support her family, educate herself, and build a public service career as a black woman in what has always been a white man’s political world. If she’s become corrupt it’s time to end that career but that doesn’t erase the past no matter what Blake thinks.
It figures though, doesn’t it? Blake holds up folks like the four times divorced, drug abusing, law breaking Rush Limbaugh as a model American. He’ll always rush to the defense of that fat pig but he’ll flat out lie about Waters’ history. The difference? He’s a conservative and Waters is a liberal.
To Blake and other morons like himself a career Democratic politician is just someone who couldn’t hold down a real job and instead has to live off tax payers. There’s no such thing as public service for liberals apparently.
Well, no matter what you say about Rush, he makes his own money. He is not on the government dole and he is successful.
Unlike Waters, Rangel and others (of both parties) who are living off the taxpayer and have been for many years.
You see, I think all of them who serve more than a few terms are career politicians who can’t hold down a real job.
And yes, her lifetime service. How does her honorable service rate?
In its 2009 report, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Waters one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress. She was also included in their 2005 and 2006 reports.
Check out how many other things she has been involved in…
Right Here…
I don’t think Waters has had an incident free career and I won’t defend her alleged ethics violations but I will defend her overall work history and her public service against liars like Blake when Blake is just making up stuff as he goes along.
I love watching conservatives come to the defense of the pathetic excuse of a human being known as Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh is a worm who gets paid to spew hate over the air but in your mind that is superior to a public servant like Waters because he’s not getting paid by tax dollars? Does this count for all government employees? What about war contractors?
I don’t know what a war contractor is. A contractor that builds military equipment or supports the military is something else. I think they provide a service for what we pay them and if we do not like their wares we can get rid of them.
Limbaugh is not perfect, no one is. But people like you will attack him while extolling the virtues of people like Ted Kennedy who murdered a woman. You will take up for people who are robbing us left and right. Limbaugh is not stealing from us and whether or not what he says is hate depends on your definition. You view all that disagrees with your philosophy as hate.
How often have you called people like Franken, Rhodes, Colmes and others hate mongers and alcoholics for their antics and their hate filled diatribes spewed on the radio?
“I think they provide a service for what we pay them and if we do not like their wares we can get rid of them.”
So you’re not against all employees of the government and not all folks who make their living from tax dollars then? Just politicians elected by the people to perform constitutionally mandated services?
“How often have you called people like Franken, Rhodes, Colmes and others hate mongers and alcoholics for their antics and their hate filled diatribes spewed on the radio?”
Why should I call out folks who don’t even have that much influence or lead the political movement I belong to? Limbaugh runs your movement and he’s a greasy lying dirt bag with huge influence over the millions of little sock puppets that defend and cheer on his every move.
“But people like you will attack him while extolling the virtues of people like Ted Kennedy who murdered a woman.”
Sorry. Ted Kennedy was a million times the human being and public servant that Rush Limbaugh is or ever hopes to be. But that tells you something doesn’t it? Our leaders are public servants like Ted Kennedy. Yours are talk radio blowhards like Rush Limbaugh.
It is true that I equate a Dem with a govt.- employed ex- welfare queen- the symbolism is just too perfect- probably describes at least half of your family, Adam- and since Waters is an AVOWED Socialist, she is the poster child of all that is wrong with the Democratic party.
“…probably describes at least half of your family, Adam…”
Classic Blake: A squirmy little old coward who insults people he doesn’t know anything about just to score imaginary points in an argument he can’t win with facts or logic. Stay classy, moron.
Classic Adam: a squirmy little old coward who insults people he doesn’t know anything about(in this case, I am talking about Rush) just to score imaginary points in an argument he can’t win with facts or logic.
You stay moronic.
Yeah Adam, since your liberals make a lot of noise but no one listens it is OK. What you are saying is you are jealous that conservatives control talk radio, just a push for the “fairness” doctrine.
Kennedy a public servant? Hardly. He served himself and pushed a radical agenda. He murdered a woman and he helped his rapist family members escape charges.
Limbaugh does not run any movement. He is an entertainer who makes a lot of money because he has a big audience. He lives in your head for free. Obviously you and the libby leftists are bothered by him because you continue to attack him.
As for your leaders being public servants, bah they are lining their pockets serving themselves and trying to become ruling elite over the unwashed masses.
And no, I do not have a problem with all members of government. However, your assertion that they are performing Constitutionally mandated services is laughable. What is Constitutional about the health care law, Social Security, cap and trade, and any number of other things they (and many others in the past) have passed?
Maybe if you learned the Constitution you would see how foolish what you said actually is.
I will take Limbaugh and the millions he donates to charity over any politician any day. Rush gives his own money freely and helps the families of fallen police officers and Marines. Your political heroes use our money which was extorted from us to be generous with.
Kennedy was a slug, a cretin, a womanizer, a parasite, a bastard and a shameless drunk. Yep, that sounds like a person you lefties would be proud of and it is no wonder you worship him.
It is all falling apart for you and the only sock puppets little fella are those in the media who do the bidding of the man child in the White House. A poor excuse who can’t lead. He is worthless and needs to go. But I understand why you like all the libbies you call your heroes. They tell you how to live your life because you are unable to figure that out on your own.
Sad and pathetic…
“Maybe if you learned the Constitution you would see how foolish what you said actually is.”
The real Constitution is easy to understand. It’s the narrow Conservative view of the Constitution that I have a hard time following.
“Kennedy was a slug, a cretin, a womanizer, a parasite, a bastard and a shameless drunk.”
Go ahead and vent and spew the conspiracy and lies about Kennedy all you want. At the end of the day Rush Limbaugh will only be respected by the morons on your side of the isle while Kennedy will take his place as one of the greatest Senators in the history of Congress.
You have trouble with the real Constitution because it provides a narrow framework for running the country. You have to work hard to find the things in it that are pushed by liberals.
You seem to have a hard time grasping that if it is not in there then it is up to the STATES or the PEOPLE to decide.
As for Kennedy, he will no doubt go down as a great man among liberals. His brothers went down in history as great men and the biggest thing they did politically was get assassinated. Neither had a stellar political career and JFK botched all kinds of things. He is remembered as a great man because he was killed (by a Commie no less).
He did get one thing right, tax cuts.
As for Ted, he will be remembered as the bastard he is. The guy who laid in the fetal position on a bridge while a woman lay dead in the water below. The whole time he was crying as to how this could happen to HIM.
I imagine Kennedy and Limbaugh will at least have that in common. Kennedy will be endeared by the left. Limbaugh by the right.
But what I wonder about is why you and your ilk keep going after Rush. He is a private citizen, not a politician. You guys must be scared of him or something.
I just don’t understand it but you all go ahead.
While you are at it maybe you can tell us about your leader, Keith Olberdouche.
Ted Kennedy made one big mistake, as far as I am concerned. He died way too late.
“But what I wonder about is why you and your ilk keep going after Rush. He is a private citizen, not a politician. You guys must be scared of him or something.”
It’s simple and I’ve said it several times already in this thread. We go after Rush because he is a leader of your movement who is a liar and a hypocrite. It also helps make it easier to poke fun at the guy because he has so many personal failings.
“While you are at it maybe you can tell us about your leader, Keith Olberdouche.”
Don’t kid. Olbermann is just a low rated TV host and a blow hard. Who does he lead? He certainly doesn’t lead me. You can’t just throw out liberal names you know like Franken, Rhodes, Colmes and Olbermann and pretend they have the power or influence over the left in America the same way that folks like Rush and Beck do. It’s just not true.
On the other hand I’m not sure who I’d call progressive leaders. It’s hard to say right now because progressives have spent the last 4 years in real political power so my side tends to look to the actual leaders in Congress and the White House for now and not to talk radio or TV or the Internet.
It was the same way for your side when Bush was in office and the GOP held Congress. Who would step up to lead the message and charge if the GOP takes over Congress or when there’s another Republican President someday is anyone’s guess. I very much doubt it would be a radio or TV personality like the people you keep listing. That’s more of your side’s thing and not ours.
Rush, as I understand it, has rehabbed his life- are you not a Christian? Do you not forgive?
Kennedy, on the other hand, was a serial transgressor when it came to adultery and alcohol and probably drugs ( I put in that last thing, because you do so about Rush without any proof, so I can do this too- it is really, really hard to smear a man who is already so slimy.)
“Kennedy, on the other hand, was a serial transgressor when it came to adultery and alcohol and probably drugs…”
Baseless accusations of which you have no proof…of course…propped up by the phony idea that you are somehow justfied in telling lies about Kennedy because you think I’m telling lies about Limbaugh.
We know these things for certain of Rush, a leader of conservatives in America: He is 4 times divorced, has battled drug addiction, was arrested on drug charges.
Also it’s pretty clear Rush is a serial liar. He lied again just recently about 9% unemployment for 2 years consecutively. Limbaugh didn’t check the facts because he knows his moron listeners won’t either.
But again I love watch you defend this slug of a man.
[…] Another Democrat whom fails to practice what she preaches… […]
Oh right Adam, Franken did not step out of radio and TV and into Congress, that is more our thing.
No, Rush is not the leader. That is the lie you and Barry started to use your Alinsky tactics to isolate and marginalize.
It is a lie and you are part of it.
Your guys do not look to leaders in Congress, there are none other than in title. You guys look to Huffington, Kos, and who knows how many others to tell you what to think.
Limbaugh is a private citizen and you all must attack him.
And yes, Olberdouche is your leader. He is the same kind of blithering idiot one sees in any progressive crowd.
Your political idols would be Marx and Che.
Your momma must be proud.
Man, that’s a pretty big list of people you consider leaders of the left. Funny, none of them are even a fraction as influential or powerful as Rush Limbaugh who you deny is a leader of your movement. Talk about funny. Rush Limbaugh isn’t a leader and that’s just Alinsky saying otherwise? Funny.
No, our leaders aren’t in blogs or talk radio or TV. Our leaders are the President and Vice President of the United States. Our leaders are Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader.
Someday when Dems are out of power either partially or completely we’ll come up with new leaders. They may be from TV or talk radio or blogs or whatever. But right now we don’t need it.
No, you just need someone, ANYONE, who is COMPETENT- someone who actually understands how things work, and most importantly, what does not work.
None of the people in the WH has EVER done an honest day’s work.
That’s really sad- they are all one election from welfare.
Statistics show Limbaugh is correct over 90% of the time. Now if you want to chalk up lies then you should start with Obama and what he said vs what he has done. There are plenty of politicians who lie and you excuse them.
“Statistics show Limbaugh is correct over 90% of the time.”
Really? This is really your counter to Rush Limbaugh’s lies? Rush Limbaugh only lies 10% of the time. No wonder you defend the guy.
No Adam, you have to prove he lies at any time. Perhaps he is just in error. A lie is a deliberate attempt to deceive. Can you prove this is the case?
Of course not. He lies because you do not like him. On the other hand you have a man crush on Obama so when he lies you say he made a mistake and you defend him.
Don’t kid. If Limbaugh was just getting things wrong then I’m sure he’d have plenty of cases of corrections issued for the errors he made. Somehow I doubt we’d find such a thing but feel free to list some.
I have heard him correct mistakes though I do not listen to him very often as I have to work and can’t listen tot he show.
Once again, prove he lied.
Well Adam, you can call Blake a coward but you are no different in your attacks on others. We could list a number of facts about Kennedy that are not flattering. You cite being married and divorced a number of times. OK, how many times have your lib heroes been in that boat? How many have been divorced? How many have had a drug problem (especially alcohol). By your standard, Obama is a slimy drug abuser.
And if you think Blake is a coward I will pay for his plane ticket to come up here and meet with you so you can work out who is the coward. I will put $1000 on Blake to kick your ass. I will put another $1000 that you will become a coward real fast when confronted by him.
So what say? Should I book the flight? I can have a ticket for him in no time flat.
“I will put $1000 on Blake to kick your ass.”
Yes, I’m sure Blake’s ability to physically assault me makes up for his lack of logic and the fact that he writes childish garbage about my family which he knows nothing about.
That is not the point. You called him a coward. I challenge you to back that up and I will pay for him to come here and let you.
If you find the label ‘coward’ to be so offensive perhaps you can find me a better one. What would you call a guy who writes childish insults about someone elses family he’s never met simply because he has has once again run out of logical arguments or factual statements?
How about “childish”?
As if you haven’t written childish garbage yourself- and I can prove my assertions about Kennedy, (or as I refer to him, Jabba the Hut)- heck, his whole family is a compedium of pedophiles, drunks, drug addicts, and adulterers- I could list them, but you already know them well- you might have even voted for them.
Character counts- at least for some voters.
Goody- an old fashioned duel- I would look forward to that- I will, by tradition, allow Adam to choose the weapon.
Guns, knives, swords, or fists, it’s all the same to me.
How about Bullwhips? I am open to suggestions-
