US Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA), part of the radical moonbat sector of society, and one of the chief moonbats of the Congressional Black (Democratic & Liberal) Caucus, appeared on Pacifica's (a whole den of moonbats if there ever were any) Democracy Now radio program yesterday and had the audacity to infer that Saddam not only wasn't a bad person, but that he didn't even exist.
"Everywhere we go we seem to be creating a mess. We've created a mess in Iraq, and our soldiers are dying every day. Now we find that we are violating the prisoners. We're treating them worse than so-called Saddam had treated them.""So-called?"
"So-called?" Did I miss something somewhere?
Congresscritter Waters actually seems to be implying that not only is the US military as a whole complicit in the Iraqi prisoner mess, but then goes as far as to imply that Saddam didn't exist, by way of her veiled statement.
In that same interview, Waters directly contravenes official US foreign policy by encouraging active rejection of the new government in Haiti. She suggests that she knows better what US foreign policy should be regarding Haiti, far better than the State Department, and far better than the White House.
As of this morning, I have 22 members who join with me in no recognition of this illegitimate Prime Minister. There have been no elections. He was supported essentially by the United States, with the support of France and Canada, to take over the post of Prime Minister after the coup d'etat, and I believe, as other members apparently believe, that he is illegitimate. He's but a puppet, and we should not recognize him.No recognition of former leader Jean Bertrand Aristide's crimes; no recognition that Aristide was responsible for the sorry state that Haiti had fallen into in the first place.
With constant and continued crud like this, Waters has firmly cemented her spot as one of the most brainless moonbats on the Hill.

Posted by: John Cunningham at May 7, 2004 02:07 AMI'm glad someone has the balls to say it.
Posted by: Beck at May 7, 2004 05:30 AMNice page, friend. Keep up the good work.
Posted by: Acidman at May 7, 2004 07:11 AMI love Democracy Now -- Amy Goodman is the funniest host on radio. Indeed, Air America missed a chance by not recruiting her. Of course she's far too interested in actual blood in the streets (she always gets this slightly creepy tone of cheerfulness when describing 'uprisings,' even when it's her side being slaughtered in Aceh) for the Democrat party...
I read somewhere yesterday, though, that her new book is being published by a subsidary of Disney! I'm thrilled! Amy sells out!
Posted by: Michael Tinkler at May 7, 2004 07:51 AMAw mmmman!! Mike.....whatchu tryin to do, man? That big ole Maxine Waters mug is 'trocious!!! Yuck.
All b.s. aside, her & her liberal ilk will only be happy when those WMDs show up in an L.A. mall, oh, maybe exploding in the middle of large a food court about 1:17 p.m. on Saturday. Then another in about 13 minutes at the other food court. Lovely.
No, no little dinky Sbarro's Pizza Joint like Hamas does over in Tel Aviv - we're talkin real deal, massive blood & guts. This aint no joke.
While may GOD FORBID that ever happens, I hope they dont't get amnesia when the debate starts. Remember who was "presiding", supposedly, when so-called Saddam told the punk ass UN inspectors to get the @#%* out!!
("I ain't gettin rid of no WMD and you aint inspectin nuthin!" Yes, Mr. Hussein. Don't worry about the cease fire agreement, Dude. It's cool.)
They are scared to death OF answering that crucial question that led us to this point - hence all the silly, made-up distractions, of course.
1) Mr. Clinton, how could and why did you allow Saddam to call off UN inspections?
2) Were you not the most powerful man in the world, duty bound to protect American lives??
3) Did did you not take seriously that those weapons would be supplied those trying to kill us?"
Therefore, that angry heffa needs to shut her fat, stinkin, pie hole......and hope my concerns don't become reality. Alright, people, I don't really know if it really IS a stinky mouth.
I suppose "it depends on what the definition of IS.............is." Right, right. Loser Boy.

Posted by: Walter Wallis at May 7, 2004 01:54 PMThis is the same gal who claimed that she "had to" march for abortion, because her mother could not get one. Think a moment on that.
Her lunacy is almost comic.
BTW, I thought that was a pic of Mick Jagger.
Posted by: ben at May 8, 2004 04:38 AMKeep in mind that these people want to govern us!
Liberals like this woman seem to have the whole "group mentality" going on, in that, if one person in the group does it, that means that everyone else in the group does it, in here reference to the abuse in Iraq. That's just like saying that all Black people like fried chicken, all southerners are in the KKK, all Mexicans wear sombreros, all Japanese like Anime, etc. etc.
If I were Californian, I'd be downright ashamed that I had such a basketcase bitch representing me.
Posted by: Mob_Triggerman at May 8, 2004 06:25 AM"If I were Californian, I'd be downright ashamed that I had such a basketcase bitch representing me."
No offence to Californians by that statement. I meant that I'd be really shocked if she were somehow re-elected after making such a retarded statement.
Posted by: Mob_Triggerman at May 8, 2004 06:32 AMIf these liberals are so concerned about "respect for third world culutre" and "the Muslim street" why don't they simply convert to Islam? Then at least fatmouthed broads like Maxine will have to shut up and cover their faces.
Posted by: Jim at May 8, 2004 07:54 AMMob Triggerman: She'll be re-elected, no doubt. (I live in the district.) The mindset around here cares more about the *image* of a black woman talking back to "the man" than the substance of what that woman is actually saying. You can bet that few around know or care about something so stupid as the "so-called Saddam" phrasing or the "abortion" quote. She's been saying stuff like that for years.
Posted by: Juliette at May 8, 2004 04:05 PMThat's a shame, Juliette.
Great post, Michael, and the new site's great. Blogroll link updated! (and thanks for the well-wishes.)
Posted by: maura at May 8, 2004 04:09 PMSome of us old crocks can remember when Martin Luther King was referred to, in some circles, as "the so-called Reverend Martin Luther King."
Posted by: Wild Bill at May 8, 2004 07:58 PMWild Bill: If someone were skeptical about Dr. King's Christianity or ordination, refering to him as a "so-called reverend" makes sense. If they referred to him as so-called Martin Luther King, however, then they're stupid, since it is a fact that the man's name was Martin Luther King and not Joe Blow.
This same concept applies to the phrase "so-called Saddam."
