Apparently referring to some of the speakers at Coretta Scott King's February 7 funeral, Republican political strategist Mary Matalin stated that "these civil rights leaders are nothing more than racists." Continuing, Matalin claimed that "they're keeping constituency, they're keeping their neighborhoods and their African-American brothers enslaved ... by continuing to let them think that they're -- or forced to think that they're victims." Matalin's comments came during the February 8 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes.You have to see it for yourself. She actually said, "Civil rights leaders are enslaving their African-American brothers." Yes, Mary Matalin, former Cheney advisor and privileged white woman knows all about the black experience.
Civil rights leaders are enslaving their African-American brothers. As opposed to the White House, which just let African-Americans die in New Orleans. Lied about not knowing about the breach of the levees. The Preznit said, "No one could have predicted the breach of the levees." He played guitar and then went back on vacation while New Orleans drowned. He did a fly by and said everyone was doing a heckuva job. Remember that, Mary?
You are seriously out of your f-ing mind, lady. I shouldn't be surprised. She most recently served as an advisor to Cheney, the same Dick Cheney who voted against the MLK holiday and called Nelson Mandela a terrorist.
The bubble boy Preznit finally gets to hear some truth and all of the sudden Republicans have developed thin skin. Well excuse me.
Ignoring the impending destruction of an entire city and doing nothing to help people rebuild their lives or at least return to some sense of normalcy, that tends to make people angry.
Sending poor American kids off to die or be maimed in a war based on cherry-picked evidence, that makes people angry.
The Republican response, when the President happens to hear some criticism of his policies, at the funeral of a woman who devoted her whole life to social justice?
Civil rights leaders are racists.
My response?
Mary, go Cheney yourself. You, your manufactured outrage, and the soulless party you support couldn't possibly be more revolting.
