They're always so civil. It's nice to hear from Maxine "Socialize Big Oil" Waters. She's a hoot.

Maxine Waters to tea party: Go to Hell

By Nia-Malika Henderson

At a community summit on Saturday, the California Democrat, who has been increasingly critical of President Obama, as well, had tough words for the other side.

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” Waters said at the summit in Inglewood, Calif. “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.”

A prominent tea party group shot back with a statement calling on Obama to check the members of his party and to condemn the rough talk.

“We’ve had Democrats calling American citizens ‘terrorists’ and ‘hostage takers,’ and now an elected Democratic representative says that we can ‘go straight to hell,’” the group Tea Party Patriots said. “The president and all leaders of the Democratic Party, who have called for civility in the past, are neglecting to censure their own. Is civility only required from their opponents? Perhaps it’s time for a new-NEW era of civility. ... The president’s silence on these latest violations of civility has been deafening, but not surprising.”

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have been hosting town halls and job fairs across the country, most recently in Detroit, Atlanta and Cleveland.

On Tuesday afternoon Waters and other members will attend a summit in Los Angeles to discuss their jobs resolution, “For The People,” which calls on Congress to pass jobs legislation. The unemployment rate among African Americans is 16 percent, almost double the national average.

Waters, who has faced complaints about ethics over the last year, has been at the forefront of a recent, more public venting of frustrations between the CBC and Obama. She addressed the delicate maneuvering that black elected officials have had to make in the Obama era at a town hall in Detroit last week.

Go to Hell, do not pass go and do not collect $200. Besides, that money is a government handout from evil Socialists.

She does seem to speak for a majority of Americans on this point.

I'm guessing come November next year the voters will reflect Ms. Waters' sentiment.
