WHITE HOUSE EXPOSED: FARRAKHAN, AYERS, WRIGHT, SHARPTON, JACKSON ARE IN DA HOUSE
There are consequential, disturbing revelations to be found when flipping through the visitors list at the White House. Bill Ayers is there no less than three times, Louis Farrakhan at least once, but there is also a separate visit for his family, and the infamous hater Jeremiah Wright is there at least five times (four times under Jeremy, one under Jeremiah). Contemptuously, Farrakhan’s visit is tagged as “MEETING WITH SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS”…Al Sharpton is there twice, and Jesse "hymietown" Jackson is a regular (six times).
It bears noting that despite solid evidence that Obama was tight with these haters, inciters and revolutionaries and traitors, he distanced himself from them during the campaign and outright lied about his ties to them. Mr. Ayers, for example, was dismissed as “a guy who lives in my neighborhood” and “somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know.”
Obama lied about his friends and nefarious colleagues because he he knew that his connection to them was deadly. He knew these were bad characters, and that his being involved with them would not sit well with the American people. He knew. And so he lied. And now they are regulars at the White House (while the Dalai Lama and Netanyahu are begrudgingly ushered in the side door or seen chilling with the trash).
These are terrorists, inciters to genocide, America haters, the underbelly of an ugly America -- and they are in the House.
Much thanks to Mark.

FLYING THE GANGSTA COLORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE: SEIU, THE COLOR PURPLE
The color purple: Obama signs health-care bill. President Obama signed the bill into law in the East Room of the White House after addressing an audience that included lawmakers who supported the measure. (Associated Press, edited by The Washington Post)
Yes, it seems this can no longer be written off as pure coincidence. The color purple is the fighting color of this administration. It is painfully clear who and what is running the show. Historically the color purple has signified royalty which, ironically, is exactly how the power mad pres thinks of himself.But this is SEIU, all the way. The Chicago way.
Stella Paul writes exclusively for Atlas:
OFFICIAL GANGSTA COLORS OF THE GANGSTA GOVERNMENT
Every gang of thugs needs its own official color scheme and now our gangsta government has its: SEIU purple. The increasingly brazen thugs in charge have junked the red white and blue and now festoon themselves for historic occasions in the purple color of their most intimate ally, Service Employees International Union (SEIU). After Robert Gibbs showed up at a press conference with a purple braceletmatching that of his best bud, SEIU head, Andy Stern, was there really any doubt what color Nancy Pelosi would wear for the health care vote or what color ties her fellow congressional gangstas would choose? Did you need to turn on the TV for the signing ceremony to know Obama would wear a purple tie?
It's increasingly clear who's the power behind Obama's gangsta throne. George Soros provides the money, but Andy Stern and SEIU provide the muscle. And by the Democrats' blatant signaling to their purple-shirted men in the street, it's clear they have already planned and coordinated their next crime spree.
Obama signs health care law in purple tie - here.
Obama wears purple tie to lobby for health care - here.
Nancy Pelosi in purple suit and shoes with gavel and other Dems in purple ties - here.
Gibbs and Andy Stern wear matching purple bracelets
The bracelet is kind of a signal to tell Stern that the administration has it under control and ObamaCare will be delivered. Just a few more Democrats need to be shown the Chicago way.

AEI DUMPS FRUM
What took so long?
Frum is a fraud. His betrayal of Bat Yeor and Robert Spencer (here) was the last straw for me. His intellectual dishonesty and flawed thinking hurt the right. He's been kicked to the curb -- long overdue, I say.
Apparently he laid the blame of the passage of Demcare at the door of the Republicans. Hardly surprising.
David Frum dropped by U.S. conservative think-tank The National Post hat tip Jane
Conservative commentator and National Post columnist David Frum has lost his job at the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing public policy think tank, four days after he called the Republican Party's opposition to U.S. health-care reform the "most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s."
Mr. Frum, who has been a resident fellow at the AEI since 2003, announced the "termination" of his position on his blog on Thursday, saying the decision was made over lunch with AEI President Arthur Brooks.
"I appreciate the consideration that delays my emptying of my office until after my return from travel next week. Premises will be vacated no later than April 9," Mr. Frum wrote in his resignation letter to Mr. Brooks. "I have had many fruitful years at the American Enterprise Institute, and I do regret this abrupt and unexpected conclusion of our relationship."
Mr. Frum declined interview requests last night, but told the Washington Post that his criticism of the Republican strategy, which he published on his website Sunday night and which ran in the National Post on Tuesday, did not appear to be a factor in the termination of his position.
"They invited me to remain associated with AEI on a non-salaried basis," Mr. Frum said. It was an offer he declined.
"While it has always been and will always be AEI's practice to not discuss personnel matters, David Frum is a truly original thinker and we are proud to have been associated with him for the last seven years. His decision to leave in no way diminishes our respect for him," Mr. Brooks told The Wall Street Journal in a statement through a spokeswoman.
In his Sunday posting on his website, FrumForum, the former speechwriter for President George W. Bush said part of the blame for the passing of the U.S. health-care reform bill "attaches to conservatives and Republicans ourselves."
"At the beginning of this process, we made a strategic decision: Unlike, say, Democrats in 2001 when president George W. Bush proposed his first tax cut, we would make no deal with the administration. No negotiations, no compromise, nothing. We were going for all the marbles. This would be Obama's Waterloo," Mr. Frum wrote. "This time, when we went for all the marbles, we ended with none. ... It's Waterloo all right: ours."
A contrarian conservative, Mr. Frum has been raising the ire of hardcore Republicans for some time. In his 2008 book, Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again, he criticized the party for losing sight of the issues he says matter most to Americans. He was also a vocal critic of John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as vice presidential candidate, but ultimately supported her during the last election.
He has also criticized the country's right-wing media organizations, whose popular celebrity hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, he says are ruining the party brand. Last year he called Rush Limbaugh a "walking stereotype of self-indulgence - exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party."

PAMELA GELLER, BIG JOURNALISM: BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA II’S WAR AGAINST ISRAEL
The six million are cold in their graves, weeping for what awaits you.
The only difference between American Jews of the 2000s and the European Jews of the 1930s is Israel. This is what separates you from the dehumanization, the oven, the end. A Jewish homeland is the thin blue and white line between civilized men and bloodthirsty savages.
Check out my latest column at Big Journalism. Here's an excerpt from Barack Hussein Obama II’s War Against Israel:
But now here we are. Jews may then have tried to avoid Obama’s anti-Semitism, but they cannot now avoid the consequences of avoiding Obama’s anti-Semitism. He has unleashed an evil in this world the extent of which we are only now beginning to see. He has made the world safe for haters and killers. The post-World War II peace was no accident; it was a direct result of American hegemony. But now he is following the European lead and unraveling it. Europe learned the wrong lessons from the war and the Holocaust. The lesson that Europe decided to take from Auschwitz was that everything was caused by nationalism. European leaders decided that therefore what they really needed was a European Union that would obviate their need for nationalism and prevent another Auschwitz.
They took all the wrong lessons from World War II and continue to apply them, while ignoring the only lesson that’s really relevant from World War II, which is that you have to choose good and defend good, and fight with the intention of defeating evil. We have to be able and willing to make moral distinctions and stand up for the good and fight evil — and that is something that both the Europeans and Obama refuse to do.
Nationalism isn’t evil. British nationalism hasn’t been evil. French nationalism isn’t evil. Polish nationalism isn’t evil. American nationalism wasn’t evil and has never been evil. Contrary to Obama’s actions, American exceptionalism isn’t evil.
But what did the Jews learn from the Holocaust? What does “never again” mean? Why does the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., cover up the crimes of the Muslim world and the Mufti of Jerusalem in the execution of the Holocaust? Why does the State of Israel not fight global anti-Semitism? Why is Islamic anti-Semitism not decried from the pulpits and the bimas of the shuls and Hebrew schools across the Jewish world? Why aren’t Robert Spencer
, Bat Ye’or, and Ibn Warraq mandatory reading in Jewish day schools? How can we fight a mortal enemy that promises our annihilation when we dare not speak its name?
The Jewish people, both in Israel and the diaspora, seem to be suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome. There can be no logical reason why an American Jew could intellectually excuse Obama’s twenty-year friendship and closeness with the anti-Semitic Farrakhan acolyte Jeremiah Wright. There is no way an American Jew could explain away or rationalize Obama’s connections to Rashid Khalidi, Ali Abunimah, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and know about those connections without knowing what was coming. These Jews (and our history is plagued with them) love ideas, not people. They are so married to their dogma, their ideology, that they cannot, will not, see what is right in front of them. They worship at the church of human secularism. That is their religion. They have no G-d. They are merely wearing a Jewish coat, but do not speak for Jews.
It is the curse of the Jewish people historically to be betrayed by our own. This is the deepest cut of all. The kinderlach, the mamas, the tatas, the bubbies and zadies, shvestas and bruders who were tortured and died unspeakable deaths are crying out to you. Are we so broken a people that they shall have died in vain, for nothing?

ANTI-SEMITE IN THE WHITE HOUSE: OBAMA "HUMILIATES" JEWISH LEADER AND "DUMPS" HIM
Obama shamed and humiliated the Jewish Prime Minister of Israel, while demanding we respect sharia and Islam. Jewish self-defense against virulent, genocidal Islamic anti-Semitism repels the leader of the free world.
Now here we are. Jews may then have tried to avoid Obama’s anti-Semitism, but they cannot now avoid the consequences of avoiding Obama’s anti-Semitism. He has unleashed an evil in this world the extent of which we are only now beginning to see. He has made the world safe for haters and killers.
The Jewish people, both in Israel and the diaspora, seem to be suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome. There can be no logical reason why an American Jew could intellectually excuse Obama’s twenty-year friendship and closeness with the anti-Semitic Farrakhan acolyte Jeremiah Wright. There is no way an American Jew could explain away or rationalize Obama’s connections to Rashid Khalidi, Ali Abunimah, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and know about those connections without knowing what was coming. These Jews (and our history is plagued with them) love ideas, not people. They are so married to their dogma, their ideology, that they cannot, will not, see what is right in front of them. They worship at the church of human secularism. That is their religion. They have no G-d. They merely wearing a Jewish coat, but do not speak for Jews. It is the curse of the Jewish people historically to be betrayed by our own. This is the deepest cut of all.
Are we so broken a people that they shall have died in vain, for nothing? The six million looked like you, laughed like you, denied like you. The six million loved their country -- some were war heroes for Germany in World War I. They too thought the fringe would stay relegated to the margins of society. Fringe, meet White House.
For a head of state to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of.
Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip seen in Jerusalem tonight as a disastrous humiliation.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House phone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.
Left to talk among themselves, Mr Netanyahu and his aides retreated to the Roosevelt Room. He later spent a further half-hour with Mr Obama and extended his stay for a day of emergency talks aimed at restarting peace negotiations, but left last night with no official statement from either side. He returns to Israel dangerously isolated after what Israeli media have called a White House ambush for which he is largely to blame.
Sources said that Mr Netanyahu failed to impress Mr Obama with a flow chart purporting to show that he was not be responsible for the timing of announcements of new settlement projects in east Jerusalem. Mr Obama was said to be livid when such an announcement derailed Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel this month, and his anger towards Israel does not appear to have cooled.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, cast doubt on minor details in Israeli accounts of the meeting but did not deny claims that it amounted to a dressing down for the Prime Minister, whose refusal to freeze settlements is seen in Washington as the main barrier to resuming peace talks.
The Likud leader now has to try to square the demands of the Obama Administration with his nationalist, ultra-Orthodox coalition partners, who want him to stand up to Washington, even though Israel desperately needs US backing in confronting the looming threat of a nuclear Iran.
“The Prime Minister leaves America disgraced, isolated and altogether weaker than when he came,” the Israeli dailyHa'aretz said.
Haaretz is a far left, jewicidal, ugly Israel newspaper. They are secretly loving this. Think of America haters -- well, same thing. Israel haters.
In their meeting Mr Obama set out a number of expectations that Israel was to satisfy if it wanted to end the crisis, Israeli sources said. These included an extension of the freeze on Jewish settlement growth beyond the 10-month deadline next September, an end to Israeli building projects in east Jerusalem, and even a withdrawal of Israeli forces to positions that they held before the Second Intifada in September 2000, after which they re-occupied most of the West Bank.
Newspaper reports recounted how Mr Netanyahu looked “excessively concerned and upset” as he pulled out a flow chart to show Mr Obama how Jerusalem planning permission worked and how he could not have known of the announcement that hundreds more homes were to be built just as Mr Biden arrived in Jerusalem.
Mr Obama then suggested that Mr Netanyahu and his staff stay on at the White House to consider his proposals, so that if he changed his mind he could inform the President right away. “I’m still around,” the Yediot Ahronot daily quoted Mr Obama saying. “Let me know if there is anything new.”
With the atmosphere so soured by the end of the evening, the Israelis decided that they could not trust the phone line they had been lent. Mr Netanyahu retired with his defence minister, Ehud Barak, to the Israeli Embassy to ensure the Americans were not listening in.
UPDATE: Robert has a disturbing development. Nightmare:
I expect that the President of Equatorial Guinea would be treated better.
But meanwhile, the Obama Administration can't do enough to soothe Pakistani sensibilities ruffled by our horrible Islamophobic airport security procedures: "US ambassador in UK ensures no body scan for Pak foreign minister," from the PTI, March 25 (thanks to Block Ness):
WASHINGTON: The extent to which the Obama administration will go to humour Pakistan is highlighted by the fact that its envoy to UK drove four hours to Manchester to ensure that a zealous American airline security does not body scan foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi ahead of his arrival here.When Qureshi's commercial flight to the US stopped in Manchester this week, American ambassador in London, Louis B Susman, drove four hours to be there for the hour long layover.
Susman's mission was to "avoid any unpleasantness - including the possibility that British-based US airline security might insist on body-scanning Qureshi - that might start the US-Pakistan strategic dialogue in Washington off on the wrong foot," the Washington Post reported.
As Pakistan and the US struggle to overcome what both characterise as a mutual "trust deficit," the Obama administration hopes that the upgraded strategic talks will consolidate the new partnership the President promised in exchange for Pakistan's cooperation in shutting down Taliban and al-Qaida havens in that country, the paper said....

AINOS -- AMERICANS IN NAME ONLY
I like Dr. Wheeler's column this week because it strikes at the heart of what I have been saying recently: that the difference between the two political parties could not be more stark. The Democrats -- fascist in their tactics, collectivist and statist in their policy, anti-Israel, anti-America, anti-military, and the Republicans -- pro-small government, pro-Israel, pro-individual rights, pro-America.
Dr. Wheeler takes this idea on in his column: ARE AMERICANS STILL AMERICANS? I am running the whole thing, as Jack's site is paid only (and well worth it). I hope Jack doesn't mind.
That's the question and the bet of our day. Conservatives and TeaPartyers bet yes, Democrats and moonbat moochers bet no. The Republican Party establishment wants to bet yes but hasn't got the guts to go all in.Understand this and you understand American politics today. Who wins the bet determines America's future.What made Americans Americans was their commitment - unrivaled in human history - to individual liberty. This commitment was enshrined as the founding principle of America in the Declaration of Independence:That every human being and specifically every American has a moral right endowed by his Creator, by what is required by his nature to be fully human, to his own personal life, his own personal liberty, and the pursuit of his own personal happiness - and that no government has the moral right or legitimate authority to violate this individual right.Further, that the very purpose of government, what legitimized a government's very existence, was to secure and protect this individual right - and whenever a government becomes destructive of this right, those governed by it have a moral right to alter and abolish it.The Declaration of Independence is the most truly revolutionary document in political history. It is the most profoundly moral document as well. And to confound the long line of philosophers who claim there is an unbridgeable abyss between moral behavior and pragmatic self-interested behavior, it is also the most practically successful America's prosperity dwarfs any historical comparison.document in history.The truth of America's founding principles were "self-evident" to the Americans who created our country. They are no longer to an increasingly large fraction of Americans today. The stated purpose and clear goal of Democrats is to increase that fraction. The claimed purpose and alleged goal of Republicans is to reduce it.For decades upon decades now, Americans on the whole have been slowly and progressively becoming less American, less independent and responsible for their own lives, more dependent on government programs and demanding of others to be responsible for them.We have now reached the point where between 40 to 50% of people in this country are so unwilling to be responsible for their lives and freedom, so demanding of their supposed right to mooch off taxpayers, that they still maintain a firm support of a president who believes that God should damn America.We have reached the point with the passage of ObamaCare that we are justified in terming those who continue to support President Zero and the Pelosi-Reid Democrat Party AINOs - Americans In Name Only.In one sense, we can be glad that ObamaCare passed in the House last Sunday, March 21, and signed into law by President Zero two days later - because it forces the issue. America must now choose between freedom or fascism, there is no other choice, nothing in-between."Give me liberty or give me death," proclaimed Patrick Henry in 1775. "Live free or die," said Revolutionary War general John Stark, which New Hampshire adopted as its state motto. That was a real choice at the birth of America. Now it is again.The next seven months are going to be the ugliest this country has experienced in our lifetimes. Any and all opponents of ObamaCare will be branded as terrorists - indeed they are already. The Democrats will look upon their ObamaCare victory as a template, and attempt to ram through via bribes and corruption passage of amnesty for illegals, a carbon tax, a VAT tax, and every other major item on their Marxist Fascist agenda.Given the volcanic rage this will engender in so many people, it will be impossible for there not to be outbreaks and incidents of violence perpetrated upon Democrat politicians. This is exactly what the Democrats want. Their goal is to goad and provoke their opponents into violence so they can demonize them, so they can sic the FBI upon them.It is going to take superhuman levels of self-control not to succumb to the temptation to take physical revenge upon the politicians and government personnel determined to destroy our country. There has got to be an alternative to violence that people can see is effective - much more effective, in fact, than violence.That alternative for immediate personal action is: peaceful civil disobedience. Following TTP's call for a Defund and Disobey movement, Forbes Magazine is now quoting Ghandi - "civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless and corrupt" - and predicting the largest civil disobedience movement since the civil rights era.There is one group of Americans who can lead this civil disobedience movement better than any other - and it's not the TeaPartyers. It's doctors. After all, they are the ones who are enslaved by the State to provide medical care according the State's edicts. If they refuse to be so enslaved, if they refuse to obey the edicts of ObamaCare, there is no ObamaCare.In the face of their enslavement, many doctors will "go Galt" - retire or quit practicing medicine. Others will meekly comply, becomingPINOs - Physicians In Name Only - to whom you should never trust your life and health.But others will fight. Like the group of 1,600 New Jersey physicians who are suing to overturn ObamaCare. Like Linda Johnston, MD, who is refusing to submit her patients' records to insurance companies.I am willing to bet there are tens of thousands of physicians and medical practitioners willing to join this fight. Thus I propose they form an organization called Doctors Against Medical Fascism or DAMF. I even bought the website names: doctorsagainstmedicalfascism.org and damf.org.If you know any medical doctors or practitioners, please ask them to consider helping to organize DAMF. If doctors take the lead in refusing to obey ObamaCare, millions will follow.Millions of others will be bought off by ObamaCare's goodies and subsidies - like forcing insurance companies to insure their kids with pre-existing illness, or getting a Medicare rebate of $250 for prescription drugs - just like Bart Stupak's deciding vote was bought for $800K in handouts to his district.Back in 2005, I wrote Infantilizomania. It argued that liberals possessed a neurotic compulsion to treat adults as children. It's worth re-reading now. Infantilizomania is the Democrats' path to power - because so many voters are willing to be infantilized.This has got to stop, one way or another. And it will, one way or another, on November 2nd. Ronald Reagan won the Cold War because he decided his strategy towards the Soviet Union was not appeasement but "We win, they lose."We have got to decide that on November 2nd, Americans win, AINOs lose. Here is the full page ad in every newspaper and on every TV channel in the country we should demand to see:DO YOU WANT1. To be free to make your own life?Or2. To have the government take care of your life?If you answered Yes to #1, you are a RepublicanIf you answered Yes to #2, you are a DemocratDO YOU THINK1. That you are responsible for your own life?Or2. That other people (taxpayers) are responsible for your life?If you answered Yes to #1, you are a RepublicanIf you answered Yes to #2, you are a DemocratIt's That Simple - Vote AccordinglyPaid for by the Republican National Committee * 310 First Street SEWashington DC 20003 * 202-863-8500 * www.gop.comOn November 2nd, all Americans will be given the opportunity to be Americans - Americans our Founders would recognize as their fellow countrymen. If that opportunity is lost, America is lost. Americans will no longer be Americans any longer. We should thank Providence that we have been given a final choice in our country's destiny.

GOP MINORITY WHIP ERIC CANTOR'S OFFICE SHOT AT, ANTI-JEWISH THREATS FROM LEFT WINGERS
Could the parties be more different, the differences more stark? The Democrats -- fascist in their tactics, collectivist and statist in their policy, anti-Israel, anti-America, anti-military.
Republicans -- pro-small government, pro-Israel, pro-individual rights, pro-America.
The left has spent the last year demonizing the great Americans who are standing up against this unprecedented marxist putsch. And it has become increasingly clear that the one thing the thugocracy is terrified of is -- the tea parties, aka the will of the American people.
The day of the vote of the largely opposed radically transformative demcare bill, two or three polarizing Congressmen alleged that the n word and homophobic slurs were hurled. They are lying -- with all the cameras and audio rolling, there is/was no documentation of their libel. Millions marching for a year against the totalitarians and on the day of the vote, fallacious accusations hurled. How coincidental.
Now they are accusing the right of threatening congressmen via voicemail (talk about thin skinned), when in fact it is the left that is inciting to violence and firing on the office of a Jewish congressman. Snakeoil salesman Stupak was crying about ugly voicemails this week and the media was all over it like vampires to human blood, but when left wingers threatened Stupak last week, you never heard a peep about it.
Gunshots at Eric Cantor's office. Now that's a threat. The deal is that Republicans don't publicize this stuff, but we need to start filing discriminatory/hate crimes police reports. Why are we protecting demons?
Eric Cantor blames Democrats for ‘fanning flames’ on threats
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor blamed top Democrats for “fanning the flames” regarding threats to members of Congress — and says his office in Richmond was shot at earlier this week.
Cantor, a Virginia Republican, said the heads of the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are using allegations of harassment and threats to Democrats nationwide for political purposes.
Cantor said he doesn’t release information about the incidents of threats against himself to the media because it would only ratchet up violence. But he did say a bullet shot through the window in his campaign office in Richmond on Monday evening, and he has received threats because he is Jewish.
“[I] have deep concerns that some, DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen and DNC Chairman Tim Kaine in particular, are dangerously fanning the flames by suggesting that these incidents be used as a political weapon,” Cantor said.
Democrats and Republicans today moved to distance themselves from the violence. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said “we all reject” any derisive language used by protestors Sunday in the lead up to the health care vote. The top House Democrat said protesters and those engaging in violence and threats should not be lumped together.
Meanwhile, House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio said that the “violence and the threats are unacceptable.” Tea party organizers across the country have also condemned the threats and vandalism.
Dear MoveOn member,
Last weekend, anti-health care protesters were out in force in Washington—and some of their behavior was deeply disturbing.A crowd of tea partiers shouted the "n word" at Congressman John Lewis, a former civil rights leader who marched with Dr. King. They yelled homophobic epithets at Rep. Barney Frank, an openly gay congressman. And one protester actually spat on a Black member of Congress.1Then this week, Democrats who voted for reform began receiving death threats—one had a coffin left on his lawn and another was told snipers would kill the children of lawmakers who voted yes.2 Several Democrats had their district offices vandalized, and a gas line was cut at a home that tea partiers mistakenly believed belonged to Rep. Tom Perriello.3A few Republicans have spoken out against the racism and violence, but most are still treating them as "isolated incidents."4 They are not isolated. They've been part of Republican-supported tea parties for almost a year and they're a natural consequence of telling people that reform is a totalitarian plot.5It's an outrage, and no American should tolerate it. So we're joining with our friends at Color of Change to stand up to the hate. Can you add your name to this letter asking Republican leaders to unequivocally condemn bigotry, hate, and violence among their supporters?The letter asks the leaders of the Republican party to do two simple things:
- Unequivocally condemn bigotry and hate among your supporters, and make clear that those who embrace it have no place in your party and that you reject their support.
- Make clear that you will not tolerate fear-mongering and coded appeals to racism from officials in the Republican Party, at any level.
Instead of calming the tea partiers' anger, Republican members of Congress have stoked it. NBC reported that on Saturday, Reps. Mike Pence, Tom Price, and Michele Bachmann all addressed the tea partiers and that Bachmann stirred them "into a tizzy."6 Protesters from that rally then fanned out across Capitol Hill and were behind the assaults on Reps. Lewis, Frank, and Cleaver.7Yesterday, Rep. John Boehner called the violence and threats "unacceptable."8 But just last week, he referred to fellow representative Steve Driehaus as "a dead man" if he voted for health care reform.9 And while Boehner's office insisted his remark wasn't meant to be taken literally, as Rep. Driehaus pointed out, "It doesn't really matter the way you meant it, nor the way I accept it. It's how the least sane person in my district accepts it."10[..]The Tea Party movement has been marked by racially inflammatory and violent outbursts since its inception a year ago. And while most Republicans are probably disgusted by this behavior, the Republican Party and its leaders have repeatedly tolerated it at events they support.13 But the hateful rhetoric and the tacit acceptance of "isolated incidents" of violence have gotten way out of hand.
