Democrat Congressman claims that the Tea Party wants to see black people “hanging on a tree”

  He basically said that all members of the Tea Party want to lynch black people, and he also lumped in some Republican members in the Congress for good measure. I need not even mention how offensive and bigoted it is to lump a whole group of people into one category, as he has done, for this statement says more about his prejudice than it does about any member of the Tea Party.

  I could take this opportunity to go into a long diatribe about the hypocrisy of the left for calling for a new era of civil discourse and a toning down of the violent rhetoric and the vitriol on the right while not maintaining the same standards themselves. I could even call out Barack Obama’s hypocrisy for not taking this representative to task for failing to live up the the president’s challenge in the wake of the Arizona shooting. Or I could even use this post to call for  Carson’s resignation, or at least censure on the House floor, but I have decided to take this post in another direction because I feel that this is just the beginning of this type of libel as we head into the 2012 election.

  In the 2008 election Barack Obama did not run on his record because he had no record. He ran against George W Bush’s record. He had no record because he did not want a record; by voting present most of the time in the Illinois Senate he created a blank canvass and he was able to fill that canvass with glorious images and soaring rhetoric. Much like the great artists and impressionists of days gone by–when people would look at an artist’s rendition and come to various conclusions about the true meaning of the piece of art and no interpretation of that piece of art was wrong–Barack Obama was able to create an image of himself that was all things to all people. The people looked at Barack Obama’s blank canvas and painted the picture of Obama that they wanted to see.

  In this regard Barack Obama was a master artist and he created a masterpiece which propelled him to the White House. But after two years of the Obama regime people are now taking a second look at that masterpiece and they are coming to the conclusion that his canvas was not a masterpiece but more equivalent to “dogs playing poker.”

  “Dogs playing poker” is an image that many people find entertaining to look at for the first time, but that image holds no real meaning and grows tiring and boring after repeated glances.

  After that long and drawn out analogy, back to the point I was trying to make; Barack Obama now has a record, but the American people have rejected that record as can be seen by his approval rating which is under 40%. This means that the only people who approve of the job the president has done is his base and this simply is not enough to get him reelected. Barack Obama cannot run on his record, and the Democrats in the Congress cannot run on his record, and naturally they cannot run against their own record so they have to come up with a new battle plan.

  The Republicans–if they are smart–are going to run against Barack Obama’s record in the hopes of achieving the success that Democrats had in running against President Bush’s record so the Democrats are going to have to attempt a flanking manuever to break the head on assault coming at them from the Republicans.

  The Democrats do not want this election to be decided on Barack Obama record or on the issues, so they are in the process of turning this whole election into a race issue. Instead of trying to defend Barack Obama’s record the left is going to try to deflect the attention away from his failings and they are going to try to paint everyone that opposes this president as a racist.

 They hope that this strategy will pay off twofold: they hope that this will result in the voters not paying attention to the issues, as well as forcing the Republican candidates to take a defensive stand instead of attacking the president on the issues. This is what is known as a feigning manuever in warfare and we must not fall for this trap. For this is nothing but a designed manuever intended to take our eyes off the place where the real battle should be fought.

  If the Republicans are forced on the defensive and do not remain focused on the issues Barack Obama could very well win a second term, and that must be avoided at all costs. These attacks on the character of the various Republican candidates will only increase as the Obama regime and the Democrats become more desperate, but as I said above, these attacks tell us more about them than they do about us.

  Andre Carson has begun to lay the foundation of the Democrat platform moving forward; the Democrats are going to try to hammer the Republicans into submission by levying the most vile of accusations against them so we had all better get used to it, grow a thick skin, and continue the charge to the White House.

  If these comments by Andre Carson are any indication–and I think they are–this is going to be the dirtiest and most disgusting campaign ever run and I hope that the American people do not forget how far the Democrats have sunk in their lust to remain in power when they head to the polls in 2012.
