Dem Rep. Andre Carson: “We Need a Referendum On Those Members Of Congress Who Hold Extremist Views”…
Carson also said his comments about Tea Partiers wanting to see blacks “hanging on a tree” were meant to be taken “figuratively,” which is obviously a total load of BS.
Via Washington Times:
Congressman Andre Carson, Indiana Democrat, spoke with Washington Times radio program America’s Morning News on Monday about his controversial remarks almost two weeks ago regarding tea party activists and lawmakers on the hill who support them.
Carson said that they would “love to see” black Americans “as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me . . . hanging on a tree.”
Although Rep. Carson explained to AMN that he only meant these comments “figuratively,” he did say he still had concern about lawmakers on the hill with “extremist views.” When asked which members he was referring to, Rep. Carson, said: “I was talking about a school of thought. Some want to take us back 50 or 60 years. We have to see a push next year . . . we have to see a referendum on those members of Congress who hold extremist views.”

RE: the tree – you are correct, Sir.
He wants a referendum on himself?
“we have to see a referendum on those members of Congress who hold extremist views.”
Time to start lining up the members of the CBC then, eh?

ROFLMAO!
You first, sir. And I say sir with exquisite sarcasm.
Ok let’s start with Muslims, oh wait.

Frankly, I find it terrifying that so many on the Left seem to want to criminalize those on the Right who have differing opinions than they. Last I checked, this was America and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Actually, Andre, I’d like to see you put a sock in it, Numbnut.
The only thing sadder than this half-wit is the electorate that put him in office.
Does this person, who wants to be taken so seriously, have a big wad of blue bubblegum in his cheek as he speaks to this journalist?
What a dumb-ass! He’d be one of the first assholes looking for a new Job!
I guess if I go with this racist character’s thinking;
if I say something only figuratively, the comments I choose to use might as well be endless in a disgusting diatribe.
But people like Andre Carson unfortunately get a pass and are held to a different standard which is just plain wrong.
this race baiter is a pos.
he needs to go.
please black America wake up, you have a lot to offer the future, we Americans are all in this together, white black yellow polka dot.
we have a couple of generations where middle class black and white have lived together in the same neighborhoods and attend the same schools, grew up together.
you are the ones to stand up and say enough is enough, i will not listen to anymore of this race baiting bull crap.
Mercy, how to count the ways of trashing the Constitution. Enlightening Herr Carson.
Sure, I agree with him, considering the average Democratic Congressmen is much farther from the center (hence, more “extreme”) than the average Republican. The average Democrat is so far left of center that even a RINO looks like an “extremist” to them.
What’s the point of having 535 different people there if only one ‘opinion set’ is allowed?
Careful what you wish for, Andre. Your referendum could come a year later than you expect…….during a Republican administration. Then by definition, YOU would be the extremist.
.
Actually Andre Carson, I would love to see you and all other race baiting un-Americain, social progressive assholes hang from a tree. But that may just be me……
I want an INVESTIGATION as to how many of his immediate and extended families are on Welfare, WIC, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, SSI, Food Stamps and live in Section 8 Housing.
How can he be trusted to be unbiase when it comes to entitlements when all his relatives are part of the “benefit” class?
Andre, you look really stupid. Now that you’ve spoken, it is obvious that you are really stupid.
I agree… we can start with the CBC.
@JenBee Liberalism, Socialism, Marxism is only Communism on the installment plan. We all know how that turned out.
There is very definately going to be a referrendum. check the results of two races this Wed for a preview.
Yup…if you are a communist or a socialist, you by definition should have no free speech.
Oh, a referendum on the extremists is coming. He’s just completely wrong on who said extremists are.
Dumb, racist, a liar, and evil. Come to think of it that pretty much describes all commiecrats in Congress.
I hope and pray that when we win next year the incoming republican president and justice dept goes aftet the corrupts pieces of shit that are in office now. Maxine Waters ethics investigation is one example.Bawney Fwank etc. I dont get how a people can elect an asshole like this either? Then go and cry about how bad they got it.I guess it will take generations to breed out the school of thought that reigns in these voters (simple) minds. Fuckin losers.
Hey Carson, just who gets to choose which views are more extremist than others??? You?…just another socialist liberal who believes in free speech, but not for the other side…These are the kind of “politicians” that need to be flushed down the toilet of history…talk about a waste of taxpayers money…and my time, for even commenting on these stupid politicians elected by stupid people….
If Carson’s brain was put onto the sharp edge of a razor blade, it would look like a BB sitting on a four-lane highway. What a hopelessly stupid and disgusting little racist.
A member of the House of Representatives that is as dimwitted as Andy scares me.
Put a tie on a dimwit and you still have a dimwit.
Peter Principle. High as he can go. Post Turtle Principle. How the f ck di he ever get where he is?
Is it me but when did these people become so ironic and embolden? If Obumma loses theres gonna be ma-ham in the streets. Especially if they think the government teat will dry up for them
Is he trying to outdue Obama as the world`s best firearm Salesman. If I was the CEO of a gun manfacturer I would send this POS a fruit basket and a Thank You note. This guy needs to have his ass painted Blue and educated in American History.
Would anyone who thinks throwing babies in trashcan OK extreme?
Yes, let’s start with him!
Wow! Does this mean we will get rid of some more democrats?
How about senators who hold extreme views like AL GORE and some others who are solid liberals
In January 2013 he needs to be expelled from Congress, along with several others. We’re coming for you Carson. We’re going to crush your party, politically. We stand on the shoulders of George Washington. You can count on it. EXPELL HIM!!!
Yeah alright Rep Carson wants a referendum on those members of Congress who hold extremist views…I wonder how this guy shaves since he must never look in the mirror !
Carson is completely wrong. I don’t want to see black Americans as second-class citizens or hanging on a tree. I want to see them successful and PAYING TAXES so I don’t have to support them.
it’s a rare moment when a hoosier has to admit that his congressman is one of the numbest nuts in the congress. the bar is just so low that you almost have to try to be noticed with people like barry, biden, holder, wasserman-shultz, pelosi and hoyer.
however, this vermin scum is giving them all a run for the money. I’m so ashamed but my distirict is largely composed of people that vote the treasury rather than actually think about the country or the next generation. This is the kind of filth you get when you let scum vote the treasury.
If you do that most of your racist fiends and political alies would be unemployed… not a bad idea.
