#1 Being a Democrat means never being called a racist, no matter how big of a racist ass you are. Brown, Byrd -- same crap, different bags.

#2 not quite the same, Byrd (the WV Senator) did repent for being in the KKK (although he repented more contritely for airline deregulation). I doubt Rep. Brown will repent or apologize or even be critized by her party.

#3 Brown then told him "you all look alike to me," the participants said.

The fact that a Black member of Congress can get away with being a blatant racist without so much as word from her colleagues is a testimony to the depths the Democrats have sunk, as well as the hypocrisy and vacuum of leadership in the Black community.

#4 She's just looking to increase the size of the black vote. In a way, it's no different from Hispanic representatives trying to increase the size of the Hispanic vote by calling efforts to restrict illegal immigration racist. The main difference is that it's a lot more difficult for Haitians to make their way across a large body of water than it is for Latin Americans to come across the Rio Grande.

Thankfully, even the voting blocs themselves feel the pain (in terms of lower wages) from illegal immigrants. Eventually, this will become such a vote-loser that no politician will bring up open borders in an attempt to pander to ethnic blocs.

Uh, yeah. He repented so much he still uses the term "nigger" freely enough that he let it slip out on TV.

#6 Well, so far no calls for her to resign from any of her colleagues, and no calls to censure her. Must be a delay on the news wire.

#7 I wonder why the Cubans & Haitians don't land in Mexico and slip across the border in an orderly fashion with the rest of our illegals. Must be that the mules don't accept the gourde (HTG) or the Cuban peso (CUP). Ya think?

#8 He noted that Brown, who is black, is "very passionate about Haiti."
Methinks it has much to do with a Marxist propping up a Marxist and his government as to do with race.
I wonder which card Brown, who is member of the Democratic Socialists of America, would have played had the discussion been about her buddy Fidel and basic human rights of the Cuban people?

#9 yelled into a microphone

I hope that microphone was connected to a tape recorder...

#10 Would someone refresh my memory? I can't seem to recall where supporting non-United States governments, including the use of military intervention when there's no physical threat to the United States, is located in the Consitution. I want to re-read it before I comment on what this mental midget said at this "informative" meeting.

#11 There's one issue I have with this report - what's with this "Mexican-American" crap? Is the guy Mexican? Or is he an American? Is someone African, or American? Asian? Or American? People (and the press) need to dump this shit; it gets tiring hearing it over and over.

Here's a clue: when I go overseas to other countries and the people hear me speak, they have always asked me if I was American, and never hyphenated it with my ancestry.

#12 Bomb-a-rama: what's with this "Mexican-American" crap? Is the guy Mexican? Or is he an American?

The truth is that whatever the press calls Roger Noriega, when he heads south of the border, they think of him as a gringo. Skin color has nothing to do with it - a gringo is a gringo is a gringo - Americans simply don't act like Latin Americans.

#13 Corrine represents a sizable chunk of the Haitian population of S. Florida. Perhaps more importantly her son's Florida Senate seat is near 60%(?) Haitian and he wants Corrine's seat when she retires or goes to the quiet place.
