KO's are far left--to some anyway--but damn they sure got the picture, as they say, on this one.

Of course CPAC has no interest in OUTREACH. hahahahahah

Oh and the Issa thingy...what is most marvelous about that little scene was that Elijah aint takin no shite from that .....oh I am not going to swear. hahahahah

I love Cummings, I have always loved Cummings and what a great statesman to have on a level to take care of hypocritical lying frauds like Issa!

Sometimes, out protocols work!

My God, I love Representative Cummings.

In reply to Well, Daily KO's presents

49 years ago today was the first attempt to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in support of voting rights. The response to the march was a brutal assault by Alabama law enforcement. The current crop of Conservatives are using political maneuvering to prevent people from voting. These modern Conservative are less brutal physically but equally brutal in their goal of keeping specific groups of people from voting.

The people at CPAC don't care about outreach. They don't want Blacks and other minorities to vote.

The disrespect directed at Elijah Cummings by Darrell Issa has been supported by Boehner and the rest of the House GOP who voted to table an effort by The Black Caucus to have Issa reprimanded. Cummings was just too uppity.

Saw that. The speaker went over his time and the room began filling, and filling and filling. Soon it was at capacity. Wayne LaPierre was coming in next. Oh, well.

In reply to I watched that clip in total

Ted Nugent is a respected icon on the right. Wayne LaPierre salivates at Black youth getting gunned down. Rand Paul goes to educate the darkies at Howard and can't remember the guy he supposedly admires. Darrell Issa disrespects one of the most mild manners people in Congress. Paul Ryan wants children to starve. Conservatives express admiration for Vlad Putin, a dictator. Is there any wonder why the majority of a Black voters reject the GOP?

Robert Woodson, a Black Conservative activist, was on a minority outreach panel at CPAC. Woodson had to tell his fellow panelists that Blacks were voting for Democrats because Blacks wanted government gifts. Blacks wanted jobs. By the way, the degree of interest in minority outreach at CPACwas demonstrated by the fact that the room was literally empty.

I watched that clip in total disbelief. Paul Ryan takes "clueless" to whole new levels. Couldn't he see right from the start that his analogy made no sense at all? The thing that will finally get the government off the hook from having to deal with hungry kids is--awwwww--loving parents who care enough to pack a good school lunch.

There.

All done.

Fairy Tales Do Come True. . .

At CPAC, Paul Ryan told a story of a little boy who didn't want free school lunches, preferring brown bag lunches from home. The story implied that the little boy felt that the free school lunches were from an impersonal government while the brown bag was a sign of food prepared by parents who cared. Ryan was justifying cutting school lunch programs.

Ryan said that the story was told to him by Eloise Anderson, a Black Wisconsin GOP state administrator and former welfare recipient. It turns out that the story comes from a book written by a White female former business executive who helped a young Black child who was panhandling.The message of the book was how individual citizens can impact the lives of those less fortunate. The author thinks that cutting school lunch programs is not the right thing to do.

Ryan tried to use a story to bolster the rationale for letting kids starve,. Eloise Anderson either has a parallel life to the author of the book "Invisible Thread", Laura Schroff, or Anderson is not telling the truth.

Totally bananas. Except not

It didn't really, but it seemed like a good place to put it because of the CPAC=Red State connection. I'm working with this guy whose last name is McCord, and I kept wanting to call him Ripper McCord. I knew that name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. I thought maybe he was a movie character. So I Googled him and came up with this.

Yes, we've talked about this before, I think, but I don't quite understand why this post reminded you of it.
