Bertha Lewis: Tea Party is a "bowel movement" and is coming after you!
2010-04-22
Good to see they get her goat, anyway.
Former ACORN head Bertha Lewis told a group of the Young Democratic Socialists on that they should "do everything [they] can" to build their organization, and then insisted that our times are worse than internment under the Japanese and the years of Jim Crow laws (h/t Morgan Richmond at BigGovernment):

Any of these groups that says, "I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist," is okay with me. You know that's no light thing to do -- to actually say, I'm a socialist. You've got to know, actually, we are living in a time that's going to dwarf the McCarthy era. It is going to dwarf the internment of World War II. We are right now in a time that is going to dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation.

They are coming. And they are coming after you. And they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They've already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement -- a bowel-movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism...
Ah yes, she's played the Racist Card. A good sign they have no logic to throw at the situation. As usual. I guess we can stop listening at that point.
Bertha's group lost its congressional funding after videos were released depicting actual ACORN workers offering advice on how to hide income from prostitution from the government as well as how to lie to get mortgages. This video demonstrates a contrast to rhetoric about alleged fear-mongering among Tea Party protesters.

Even more ironic is the explicit Democrat support given to the causes she lists. Liberal icon Bobby Kennedy played no small part in Joe McCarthy's efforts to investigate Communist infiltration in the U.S. government. Internment of the Japanese came under the original New Deal Democrat president Franklin Roosevelt. The era of Jim Crow laws was governed by southern Democrats like Alabama governor George Wallace and Mississippi senator Jim Eastland.

Guess she would recognize that - since she's full of sh*t.

#5  It's when the BM's stop that I begin to worry. Get a real job and a life Bertha. While your on the subject of toilet, cleaning them might be a good place to initiate your job search. Done a bit of it myself as a teenager working in gas stations. It's an honest wage...something you probably wouldn't understand.

#4  With 100 Million+ murdered you should be ashamed to be a socialist.

#2  Never forget that segregation was brought to Washington DC by progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
