Dem Rep. Carson Yet Again Defends Lynching Comments, “I Stand On The Truth Of What I Spoke”…
But don’t worry, Carson says he wasn’t talking about the entire Tea Party, just the bitter clingers.
LOS ANGELES (CNN) — As members of the Congressional Black Caucus converged in Los Angeles for its final national job fair series, one of its ranking members responded to his own previous inflammatory comments in Miami about the tea party, comparing their movement to Jim Crow laws that segregated and marginalized African Americans in society.
A video surfaced Tuesday on TheBlaze.com, a website run by conservative host Glenn Beck, that shows Rep. Andre Carson, D- Indiana, who holds a leadership role in the CBC, at an August 22 event in Florida.
“Some of these folks in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me . . . hanging on a tree,” Carson said, according to the audio.
On Wednesday, Carson told CNN he stood by those remarks.
“Well, I wasn’t talking about the entire tea party. I think the tea party is absolutely right when they call for increased transparency in government, when they call for a cutback on excessive government spending. I am deeply concerned about some elements of the tea party who are extremist and who have reflected a mentality going back to the John Birch society, going back to George Wallace’s Dixiecrats,” Carson said.
Tea party officials have previously renounced characterizations that their movement is racist. Carson said he believes the vitriolic political environment has encouraged increased attacks on minority groups. . . .
“I stand on the truth of what I spoke,” he said. My intentions weren’t to hurt anyone or any group. I wanted to speak to the issues that concern me and the philosophical issues that concern me as it relates to certain leadership within the tea party organization, not the entire tea party, but certain elements that have concerned me deeply and for quite some time that I think should really re-evaluate what it means to be an American and we shouldn’t go along the path of taking America back to the ‘good old days’ because those days were not good for everyone.”
This is the second time today Carson has defended the indefensible.

Just another commie faggot muslim arch criminal.
blah blah blah, shut the fuck up, you said what you said.
We know what you meant, “now go get your shine box”.
Please. We are no longer in “Strange Fruit” territory. What an anus.
Whee-ouuu, whee-ouuu…here comes the boys in the white suits.
On the CBC…they received 55 million dollars in contributions in 2010. That’s a lot of spank…it’s time they get investigated. 10 to 1 odds say they are deep into corruption.
Who taught this home boy English? Good grief.
@Rocketman
Yep, Carson, he be “concerned”…he be says it trees times in onee sintance.
The blacks need more leaders like Alan West. I wonder how West can stand to be in the company of fools like Carson.
“My intentions weren’t to hurt anyone or any group. I wanted to speak to the issues that concern me and the philosophical issues” Carson said.
So, stating that the Tea Party (which IS an entire group of people) wants to see people like you (hint: black people), hanging on a tree wasn’t an intentional effort to hurt them? To demonize them? To intimidate them? To cause your constituents to attack them?
Nothing philosophical about that, you POS. Nor was it issue based.
What you wanted to do is exactly what you did: stirred up racial hatred and avoided having to discuss the Democrats responsibility for the economy.
Tea party officials have previously renounced characterizations that their movement is racist. “Carson said he believes the vitriolic political environment has encouraged increased attacks on minority groups”…….
Attacks on minority groups?? looks to me like its beat up Whitey season, attacks at state fairs, flash mobs, knock out whitey games played by gangs of roving minorities. I haven’t heard a bleep out of the black caucus about that. People have been killed (elderly people) and put in the hospital for no reason. But all the black caucus can site as racist oppression is a claim of being spit on as they passed O’barry care.
Funny how these MFER CBC DEM RATS kept their fucking pie holes shut all those years when KKK kleagle (D) Robert Byrd was running the plantation up there in DC.
So he honestly thinks we’re gonna “lynch” people?
Someone needs to tell him DEMOCRATS did the lynching during the Jim Crow days. DEMOCRATS also are in favor of putting abortion clinics in black communities.
So who’s lynching who?
Why is it that all these dem reps shooting thier muoths off about the tea party have the worst economy in the country
This idiot represents Indianapolis – that figures.
Seriously, who is going to use a rope to lynch someone in 2011?
It’s a lot safer to stand off a kilometer and put a slug through the dudes round little punkin head! A lot more impressive too!
btw Separate Reality…… the odds are WAY better than that. Several have already been investigated.
ALl the others just havent been caught yet.
I guess thats another one:
12. Be good at spending other peoples money, especially to buy houses in the Dominican Republic and so forth. Cheating, lying, general corruption, are all sure fire tickets into the CBC.
These screeching blacks will embarrass O”bum”o over time.
The jungle (inner city) trees are shaking with livid rage. The
more that middle America senses a Mau-Mau insurrection…
subconsciously…the lower this “Chauncy Gardener” will
sink. We’ll find out that he constantly mumbled…”I like
to watch TV!…(when I’m on, reading flawlessly from my
TelePrompter)…in 2013..surrounded by his stalwarts
in the O”bum”o bunker…with explosions every 5 minutes.
Pardon me all to hell, but this smacks of espistemology (the study of the limits of knowledge).
“I stand on the truth of what I spoke,” he said. “My intentions weren’t to hurt anyone or any group. I wanted to speak to the issues that concern me and the philosophical issues that concern me …”
In other words, what I spoke was truth. Because my motives were pure, (undoubtedly, unlike some others) that which concerns me is, per se, knowledge. Whether it is fact, or not, is immaterial because it is knowledge.
(Is emotional “concern” an existential imperative? Holy sh*t! This could be the subject of some dweeb’s Masters Thesis!)
And knowledge, per se, vanquishes all arguments against it. (Especially when it’s phrased like, “I think the tea party is absolutely right when …” but “….”)
I know, therefore that which I know … simply is. (“…the truth of what I spoke…”)
Because I know it, and because it therefore is, the rest of you can just buzz off and ….
Aw shit, my sophomore-level philosophy classes are coming back to me! I’m gonna have another glass of wine and LMAO.
/// Which, I hope, is more humility than what Carson appears “willing to stoop to.”
The United States of America IS A UNION!
The socialist assholes who claim to be unifying people by creating multiple identity classes are doing anything but calling for national unity. All social groups claim to be inclusive, but all end up excluding more people than they exclude. It’s the most apparent observation you can make of ANY social network.
‘The Checkers Club’ excludes;
- Chess Players
- Backgammon Players
- Poker Players
- Monopoly Players
- Chutes and Ladders Players
- Pool Players
- World of Warcraft Players
- etc., etc., etc…..
SOCIAL GROUPS ARE CREATED TO EXCLUDE PEOPLE, NOT TO INCLUDE THEM! ‘Social Justice’ is an agenda-driven strategy to deteriorate the established group unity. In a FREE Republic where everyone has the same rights and ridgepoles, there is no reason to separate people into different groups other than to create a different existence for them. In the ideal FREE Republic, ‘class qualifiers’ are irrelevant.
The path to a socialist “classless society” comes via the creation of hundreds of new social classifications for it’s citizens. It seeks to unite them by first dividing them. This works about as well as putting out a fire by pouring gasoline on it.

We should take Congressman Carson seriously. After all, he IS a respected member of the US House of Representatives.
By his statements, he is apparently aware of a violent racist plot against members of the House by unnamed members of the Tea Party movement. As such, he has an obligation to make a formal complaint to the FBI , and see to it that these people are immediately investigated and placed under arrest and have them taken off the streets before they are able to act on their conspiracy. Threats against public officials is serious business.
Of course, it goes without saying that making a false statement to the FBI is a felony, even by a member of Congress. Ask Scooter Libby. He can explain how this particular law works in terms that Congressman Carson can understand.
I’m pretty sure that almost all Tea Party members would be in complete agreement with a full FBI investigation and prosecution of those involved, if they in fact exist.
Wait…did the John Birch society take a stand on Blacks? I thought they were all about alerting the country to the vast Communist conspiracy taking over government. Guess they were right…just 50 years ahead of the fact.
“In other words, what I spoke was truth. Because my motives were pure…”

Ya know what a real judge would call someone who did the wrong thing for the right reasons? “An accessory to the crime.”
People are defined by their actions, not their good intentions, and not by their “Hopey Changey” words. By the ‘fruits of their labor’ will we know them.

How do these ignorant stupid negroes get elected? I thought the Indiana electorate was more intelligent than that? Hangin’ this bozo would be an insult to a beautiful fine tree!
Another from the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK COCKROACHES a whole bunch of blabbering radicals like the BLACK PANTHERS and NATION of ISLAM
The CBC is clearly involved itself in “flash mob” politics…
Carson is a racist.
Well, he pretty well nailed this bitter clinger.
What puzzles me is “what does this do” for Carson? Get him more votes from an already brain-dead constituency? Get him air time on TV for what – a show on MSNBC?
It’s not driving more votes to Dems or Obama. I think it’s the electronic version of graffitti – no value whatsoever other than someone with a small penis trying to draw attention to themselves.
Good move, Carson.
Looks like he is a useful idiot.
They got him to push the race card, and that may be their only thing they have going since the economy is so messed up (a new recession that can only be blamed on the current administration/Obama), and there are more wars than when Obama took office. It is probably going to get more race-y as we get closer to the election.
What is the best response to this kind of balderdash? Perhaps it is to point out that he is in the congressional black caucus, and keep harping on the black part, since it is they themselves that are singling themselves out as far as race. Are other caucuses just for a particular race? the cbc thus seems to be racist. The tea party that will accept anyone, but the cBc discriminates based on race, as evidenced by their name. Maybe push back on this cBc thing, and show the vast hypocrisy in this idiot’s statements.
George Wallace “Dixiecrats”????
Here lemme fix that for ya!!
George Wallace DEMOcrats!!!
There….that’s better!!!

“Let’s recognize the contibutions of ugly women to America”
“Let’s realize that blind Latino midgets deserve our respect.”
“Let’s celebrate Black America…well…b/c of MLK.”
“… and don’t forget to vote ‘D’ every chance you get…no
matter HOW much we’ve screwed you over in the last 50
years”!
Rep. Carson…..I’ve found your tree but someone else has
to supply the rope….or maybe you found it, yourself.
Keep it up CBC….you’re throwing Obama an anchor as he
tries to keep his Ivy-League nose above H2O.
Hey isn’t the TEA Party a minority?, we are a small part of the overall population
The only lynching going on in the USA nowadays is the lynching of TRUTH, by guys like him……
Want to talk about bitter clingers? Look at the president. He doesn’t like the word victory. Why? Because he doesn’t like Churchill. Why? Because Churchill fought against his grandfather. So because of that he doesn’t like a word.
A word. Not a person, but a word, a concept. Which word? VICTORY. The commander in chief doesn’t like the word victory.
THAT’S a BITTER CLINGER if there ever was one.
“I am deeply concerned about some elements of the tea party who are extremist and who have reflected a mentality going back to the John Birch society, going back to George Wallace’s Dixiecrats,” Carson said.”
A) news flash, the John Birchers were in fact 100% correct about the hard money issue, a fact that a good number of people, even in govt. have admitted. You can not, in fact, simply keep printing money.
B)Outside of the hard money issue talk about projecting? Why are the democrats past problems being foisted upon the modern day Republican’s…again?
TRUTH?
It was an OPINION.
These jackasses don’t even know what the TRUTH is anymore.
The editor at the NY Times wants to grill candidates on their religious beliefs thereby stepping on the one of the most fundamental of freedoms – the freedom to worship and believe as one wishes in one’s life.
I have a better “test” of candidates – do you support the Constitution and our government system as set forth in that document and will uphold the laws of our land? Do you reject socialism and communism as being incongruent with individual liberty and will not seek to impose these philosophies via laws on the American people? Do you promise not to appoint any Communists to posts in our government? Etc Etc Etc
i feel so sad for the black americans, they have another ‘leader’ keeping them on the plantation
He stands on what he said without facts or evidence. Do you think he also believes in global warming?
“Carson said he believes the vitriolic political environment has encouraged increased attacks on minority groups. . . .”
‘Effing double-speaking tool!!!!
then tell us asshole….why its ALWAYS the spearchuckers we see “increasing the attacks on minority groups”????
Ive yet to see any video, anywhere, ever, showing whites going on a rampage, tearing up shit, robbing stores or attacking single blacks, burning down entire ‘effing cities!!!!
Blacks in America today = self- imposed entitlement slaves to the dems….The New Massa’ “Comin’ fo’ ta’ carry meh’ home” (because Im too effing lazy to carry myself!)
@Weasel: You folks ever think about putting a rating system here?
You have a GREAT site by the way!
Well, it makes sense- most of the violence against African-Americans are caused by other African-Americans, and we all know that group is purely tea party…
The Congressional Black Caucus, the new Black Panthers and obama have set race relations back at least 60 years.
The irony is that blacks who have overcome great adversity to become real achievers (such as Allen West, Herman Cain, Condoleza Rice) are belittled by the rest of the black community and the Democrats, when they should be held in high esteem as good examples to emulate..
Wind up toy doing Obama’s bidding for him so Obama won’t have his hands dirtied. Now go away.
Dem Rep. Carson… dumber than a box of rocks… and about as useless…
more racism being spread by the dems, who see their power slipping away.why do the blacks always feel the need to resort to whing about racism when things don’t go their way” no one brings up obama’s race, just the fact that he is the worst president in this country/s history.
He knows his constituents. They’ll lap it up.
“If you can’t be right, be very loud.”
I say hang him!
That’s right Carson, keep that race-baiting language going. Your president has missed a wonderful opportunity to unite this country and speak to “his” young people about what you can accomplish in this country if you pull up your pants, marry and stay with your family, raise your children to be good citizens, and give them a role model. The children WILL find a role model somewhere – it would make a difference if they could choose a good father and mother. Take a leaf out of Bill Cosby’s book.
The young black unemployment rate is worse than any other – what do you think that means?
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and fellow humans.
every thing i need to know about the black powers that be i learned in Freaknic the Movie, and if you are too white to have seen it you should…
@ j Huey Brown – watched the trailer – that explains some of what’s going on – sad, really sad. I don’t believe most of the black youth are like that but if you see no hope and have no guidance, things probably aren’t going to work out well.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and fellow humans.
AC is nothing but a small, disfunctional tool.
If you are Tea Party, you are a terrorist. Sarah Palin is a mouthpiece for the Tea Party which represents nothing but hatred and dissension. Her rhetoric and violence-inciting imagery IS a form of terrorism and a prime example. She held Jared Lee Loughner’s hand while he murdered people with his misguided sensibilities. I was compelled to draw a visual commentary showing her handing him the gun on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/sarah-palin-made-me-do-it.html She’ll go to any lengths and keep spewing her insanity for that attention (and the money of course.)
