Huh?… Rep. Elijah Cummings: ‘Best Way Tea Party Can Fight Their Racism… Is to Help Folks Get Jobs’ (Video)
by Jim HoftRep. Elijah Cummings was on with Andrea Mitchell this week to discuss the bogus tea party racism story. Cummings said,
“The best way that the tea party can rid racism from their ranks is to help people get jobs.”
Huh?
What does he think the tea party is, an employment agency?…
What does he want the tea party to do?… Ram through another stimulus? Pass the hat?
Unreal.
And, besides… When the tea party does create jobs they just beat the hell out of them anyway! That’s worked really well.
Does Elijah have any idea what the h*ll he’s talking about?

what an assinine statement. People who consider themselves TEA Party activists are just a bunch of similar minded individuals. Clearly this fool doesn't know what "we" are. He's used to dealing with a union or other corrupt payoff system.
Poor ol Elijah, he never got a kiss
Poor ol Elijah, he don'no what he missed
Is it any wonder, that his face is red
Opps that's about the end of that analogy………………….
Mr Cummings showing his foolishness, once again he asks, what can you do for me today?
Calling the Tea Parties "racist" is another distraction tactic. Puts people on the defensive, having to deny a non-truth.
He makes a box of desert rocks look real smart!
In the TEA PARTY we all have a job and perhaps the most important job in AMERICA and the pay comes down the road after we put idiotic SOCIALISTS into the UNEMPLOYMENT LINES. That is OUR JOB and we do it every day!
Memo to Elijah:
Turn this corrupt Obama administration over to one with Tea Party principles, and the whole country would immediately explode with prosperity. Oh forgot, you're on the taxpayers dime and don't get it…right!
A preview of coming attractions Elijah, that's gonna make the Black and Progressive caucuses wet their panties:
GO MICHELLE BACHMANN AND THE CONGRESSIONAL TEA PARTY CAUCUS
Either he thinks WE'RE all stupid or he's the biggest moron this side of Hollywood. Apparently he has no clue how a business functions or what makes up a private sector job. See in the private sector we trade our talents for money. Since he has no talent he believes everyone gets paid for nothing just like him.
Just another idiot.
Ok Mr. Cummings, I can match your challenge. The taxes I paid this year employed 1/3 of a Federal Employee, not counting benifits and pensions.
Did your taxes, if you paid them, pay for anything? Oh that's right, all of your salary and staffs salary was siphoned off the other tax paying Tea partiers.
Has a Democrat anywhere, ever known what they were talking about?
The racist meme died out for a few months. But now it's back again in full force for two reason: 1) Distract from the actual racism living in the DOJ, and 2) They've lost on the issues and this is all we will here until November.
I do believe the Democrats are going to campaign against Bush and call everyone a racist. I for one, can't wait to watch this Epic Fail unfold.
i know that there are a lot of stupid white politicians.
but it seems like one out of every two black politicians is really daft.. i may as well say what i think, because i'm a white guy who didn't vote for Obama, so i'm labeled 'racist' anyway.
but between the former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters, Elijah Cummings, Shelia Jackson, etc.. just like children, black members of Congress say the goofiest things.
"Does Elijah have any idea what the h*ll he’s talking about?"
No
Yo Elijah-since you choose to have a given name that is commonly in use with Black Muslims, maybe we should first ask WHERE the unemployment is highest. Whats the unemployment rate in YOUR district there Cuminmy mouthings? Id bet its pretty high. What about the CRIME RATE ? Pretty high id bet. Let me see where the unemployment rate looks high-DETROIT-whos the former mayor of Detroit-THE CROOKED, SLEAZY KWAMI KILPATRICK-a black man. Whos the mayor of Detroit now-Former NBA player Dave Bing-who seems to think building gardens is more important than factories. CLEVELAND-another slum hellhole-runby another black demonrat, Frank Jackass. Elijah-you and your fellow congresscritter from Atlanta Mr Hank Johnson(who seems to think Guam might "tip over" if too many naval personnel get stationed there) need an IQ transplant or something, you are really doing Blacks a disservice by appearing too be so stupid. Luckliy, foks like me dont flog an Alan West, A Herman Cain , or a Lynn Swann with the same broad brush you racists try to flog the tea party with, liklely becuase unlike you and your ilk, we actually know how to use the brains God provided us with.
JOB POSTING
Will hire any individual of any race who will support and defend th US Constitution. Must also support smaller government and individual rights.
PAY
Whatever you can make by doing anything you want in a free market system. Bare in mind basic market principles in that you must offer goods or serices that have a demand.
Now go out and sieze your destiny!
The Fact is, he is on to something, but just a little Premature, The Tea Party will be Creating Jobs come November, When the GOP retakes Control. There better be Indictments up the Wazoo for these Traitors on the Democratic side, And to think these fools Call Bush and Cheney Crooks? Wow just Wow.
So Basically it comes down to all of US getting out, away from The PC and start getting hands on with people around us, I know most will say "But I am" I know, Just look at it as a Situation where we can not do Enough, Attack it from a desperation state of Mind, It is that Important.
Signed, Still a Proud American.
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, Mr.Elijah Cummings.

A desert might describe best what exists between this dorks ears.
It's all about Black Liberation Theology/Philosophy which holds as a central tenant for whites in order to atone for prior sins (alledged racism) whites must redistribute their wealth to the black community. That is how Mr. Elijah Cummings gets from alledged Tea Party racism to demanding jobs (payment). In his mind racism exists everywhere in the white community until it transfers all of its wealth (power) to the black community.
Great job on the posting.
They just can't believe we will NOT accept their premise, of us (conservatives) being racist…………….
Evidently they've never had this problem before…………………..accusation =guilt, in their world.
I hate this us vs them……..we're all Americans………….but maybe they don't want to be Americans?
If not,………… what DO they want to be?
I wonder if they could find another place where they could be at peace,
Perhaps they are addicted to the ANGER.
"Does Elijah have any idea what the h*ll hes talking about?"
NO
I heard the New Black Panthers were hiring cracker killers.
Anyone heard about the Feds reportedly closing down 73,000 websites?
http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-authorities-shut-down...
Like I said the statist has lots of things on their to-do list.
Eli's Cumming, hide your wallet.
I condemn the NAACP for the Nissan Cube,the french revolution, disco, the sinking of the Lusitania, and Joanie Loves Chachi
Rep.Cummings = Delusional Dem.
Amen Sister
I'll sign up. I love Town House, but Ritz are good too….
Only one thumb !! sorry
This guy has got to be Al Greene's dumber brother, right? Even Al had a better idea for job creation , with the action figures in his likeness thing.
It's actually Kaw-liga (Hank Williams Sr.) but close enough
Kaw-liga, that poor ol wooden head… would fit…no wood is useful this talking head ain't.
Maybe that's the idea of his idiocy–to divert Tea Party activist attention away from what they're doing and what they're speaking out against.
If these folks are going out of their way to focus on these activists, be it calling them racists or any other bogus names or claims they can conjure up–you just know the Tea Party's are threatening to them.
My box of desert rocks have just been insulted and victimized.
It wasn't 73K websites, but a site with 73K BLOGS on it.
Can I send that to my local paper
Has Elijah Cummings stopped beating his wife yet?
Has he stopped killing dogs and cats yet?
This is essentially what he is saying to the tea party people.
The nerve of this racist lying porker. He seems to be thinking with the wrong end of his body. I presume even he can't tell the difference.
"……Mr Cummings showing his foolishness, once again he asks, what can you do for me today?……..'
very,….. VERY,…..astute line there onecornpone,…………
Short answer – No! Elijah doesn't know what he's talking about. These liberals just spout what someone else says without thinking for themselves/ or they make things up that suit their agenda.
Talk to them and put them in the sunshine and they will perk right up even without a government grant!
It is not this poor black boy wannabe congressman that amazed me in this video,……….
it is how Andrea Mitchell went right along with the flow,…….
The rhetoric from this duo was funnier than the "Who's on First" skit.
Yes I was deliberately overstating this, but even still, to some degree a blog *is* a website.
Gotta love some of the comments from these likely young leftist oriented nerds:
"Jul 16, 2010 at 16:27 by jd
Actually the U.S. has become WORSE than China/Russia. We no longer have any rights over here, and can’t stop it due to a justice system that is also corrupt.
In the next election your best not voting Democrat. Both Obama and Biden are extremists."
Ha, Biden an extremest? That's giving him a lot of undeserved credit. He's barely smart enough to do what he is told.
and
"Jul 16, 2010 at 14:00 by Stig
Taking down WordPress wasn’t about copyright. It was about silencing 73,000 blogs.
The Obamabots are the people you thought were your friends. This is the kind of crap you thought the “Evil Republicans” would do, but never did.
Think about it."
Bwahahaha… Chickens have come home to roost it seems.
Thanks…..knew it was coming……when they do it, they do it big, huh? Did you read the comment by WhatThe Name. He says "what a crazy country, glad I don't live there".? Way to go Prog/Libs.
Being called a racist by these knuckleheads is just their simplistic way of saying, "SHUT UP"! And I won't!
Yep, Indy……….but close enuf fer gubment werk…………I rekun.
OK guys, we've done enough on the NAACP for the day. And the week. And the month.
Time to move on.
thank you kindly, ChiRalph………..jist write um as I see um…….
Only if you took at least three 15min breaks and cleared the work to be done by your union boss before you posted.
Damn that's to big to get on a bumper sticker,……………. make a great billboard though.
Stan, you da man!!!!!
Cummings said "Tea Party rid racism from their ranks"
Uh……….What racism?
WoW, you're absolutely right, Gold……….that one flew right over my head, and I watched that Beck show,
this very week. Must train my eye to spot this syndrome. Call it BLTS, exactly where all this stuff they
spout, that sounds so completely insane to us, comes from. Until that Beck show I beat my brains out
trying to figure how they could say some of that stuff with a straight face. Now I understand, they hear it
in church, …and they believe it IS God's will. Scary………….
Wow. Just wow. Start with an accusation, and then turn it into an assumed premise. These lying jackasses really are on the warpath, aren't they.
Two points, Mr Cummings
1) Your side controls the government, not ours. The Tea Party is not the one in power- it's you Democrats who OWN this shitty economy.
2) We are trying to help people get jobs to the best of our ability- by removing liberal idiots like yourself from office and reversing the Obama-Pelosi job-killing economic insanity.
Welfare rats…..connected to welfare rats…. It never ends looking for the handouts from productive Americans ! Get off your lazy asses, Cummins, Jackson, Waters, Sharpton, McKinney and start instilling some traditional values like say…. ohhhh… WORK, MARRIAGE, PRODUCTIVITY (for you rats that would be CARRYING the water instead of always DRINKING it !)
You have done NOTHING to embrace and further the future of minority children. Shut your damned mouths and DO something…..go ahead…..shock us ALL ! Look how far the Italians, Germans, Poles, Irish et. al have gone as far as INTEGRATING with AMERICANS ! You and your ilk just sit and collect welfare and you wonder why AMERICANS feel resentment. Losers all ! Pssst ! It's NOT about color…it's about BEHAVIOR ! (stupid asses).
Its not his face that's red…
Where *do* they come up with these bizarre talking points…"rid racism by helping people get jobs"…dude, *we* need jobs! How else are we supposed to support you? /sarc
My great grandmama, God bless her, always used to say to silliness like this "well now, you ain't got sense God graced a goat"
I'm thinking Mr. Cummings sounds remarkably like a bleating goat right now…
Give the guy a break. BHO (as in BEHOLD…the Messiah cometh) can't find a way to get someone a job without filching from someone else's wallet. He's serious: he know the right is the only hope for employment for his trolls.
Ohhh that's right, I almost forgot that Mr. Cummings was the mental midget that thought Guam was a geographical teeter totter <sigh>
I'm telling ya, one cannot condemn Joanie Loves Chachi enough to make up for the emotional scars…but hey, it saved or created at least 10 thousand therapist jobs….
so then the democrats must be racist because under their watch 15,000,000. are out of work?
who and how exactly has the naacp tackled unemployment? they also must be racist, right?
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This guy gives a**holes a bad name.
THE TEA PARTY IS TRYING TO CREATE JOBS, YOU IDIOT!!! "Taxed Enough Already", that's what the T.E.A. in Tea Party stand for. IF we stop this RIDICULOUS amount of spending, and the OVER-TAXATION of ALL Citizens, then Businesses will be created, jobs will be created, people will have income and be able to take care of themselves and their families! THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT, ELIJAH!!! My Goodness, Democrats are STUCK ON STUPID!! They want to raise taxes… do they think that will help create more businesses and jobs??? NO!!! By Cutting taxes you give a boost to All Businesses who are our EMPLOYERS, create more jobs, AND create more TAXPAYERS! If you lower the tax rate now, then those new businesses and new workers will be ADDED to the taxpayers we already have.
What would you rather have? LESS workers and higher taxes, thus Fewer taxpayers? OR, would you rather LOWER taxes, create more jobs, Thus creating MORE TAXPAYERS, Thus INCREASING the amount the government takes in, and ALSO creating more revenue?? OF COURSE YOU WANT TO LOWER TAXES!!!
Why is this so difficult? I'll tell you why… Because they don't give a rat's rear end about people! All Democrats care about is Money and POWER, as shown by our current leadership. LOWERING TAXES IS A PROVEN METHOD!!! It's when the Democrats step in and screw things up, in combination with Republicans losing their way, that we get into the mess that we're currently in!!!
Isn't this the guy who was worried that Guam was going to tip over?
Dems' ignorance is so overwhelming I lose track.
My favorite is at the 1:41 mark….Jealous said they should not tolerate racism in their ranks. I have not seen any proof that it has ever been tolerated in the Tea Pary ranks. It is like saying I don't think the Dims should tolerate the monthly full moon meetings and child sacrifices some of their members hold to pray to their idol for the chance to keep their seats in Novemeber…..No way to prove they do but it doesn't matter because "we all know that they do". What a load of horse manure….but at least he is good for a chuckle.
We need to prepare. Andrew needs to prepare and thats all I will say.
Yet another ignorant Congressman. How do these morons get elected? Mr. Cummings, the reason there aren't any jobs is because of our current president and his policies. He took office and instead of working on the economy, he focused on health care. Instead of working on job growth, he attacked Wall Street. Instead of concentrating on employment, he's now looking at Cap and Trade and Immigration. He's of your party, where is the outrage from you dems to the leader of your party? Your own leader, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “In its life, [healthcare reform] will create 4 million jobs, 400,000 jobs almost immediately [after becoming law]. Jobs, again, in the health-care industry but in the entrepreneurial world as well." So, where are the jobs? Or did she lie just to get the flawed healthcare bill passed into law? My guess is she lied.
You're exactly right, SM. Everything else they've tried has failed. The race card is the last arrow in the quiver, the last tool in the box. The ol' tried and true method of turning the tide, but it isn't working; not this time, and they don't have anything else. They know they're in trouble come Nov.
I agree with him, I will join with the NAACP to cut taxes to 14% top rate for individuals and create jobs.
Get rid of the IRS and lower the corporate tax rate to 20%.
Scrap cap and tax, raising the cost of energy will not create jobs!
Zero taxes for all alternative energy sales and purchases. Zero taxes on all alternative equipment, infrastructure and retrofits. In place of a tax on all energy.
Zero taxes on all auto, truck and bus HEVs, EVs…..install a chip in all vehicles that reduces taxes at the pump for low mileage vehicles. In place of a tax on all energy.
Get rid of utility regulation of the power grid and allow third parties to sell energy produced from alternative sources.
Get rid of utility integration fees for grid connection. In place of a tax on all energy.
Get rid of the ethanol subsidies and the oil drilling subsidies.
Open all federal property to drilling for natural gas.
Zero taxes for all combined heat and power (CHP) projects and equipment–supporting the existing grid…. In place of tax payer funding of a smart grid for utilities. —utilities and big tech want us to pay for their smart grid and smart devices –CHP doesn't need new grid infrastructure, CHP is the low hanging fruit of green efficiency, CHP uses natural gas and doesn't need new power lines, taking businesses off the grid removes strain on the existing grid and will support the grid for peak power loads.
Immediate tax write off for all the above.
Come on NAACP stand with the Green Tea Party……. "I AM the leader of the TEA Party and I reject racism in all of its forms."
These people are soooooo dumb. No wonder this country is in trouble.
Clearly you don't have to pass an intelligence test to be a member of congress.
Sheila Jackson Lee and Elija Cummings prove beyond any doubt that the bar has been set way too low to be a congressional representative. They are too simple minded to get jobs digging ditches.
Natural gas is as green as it comes. Walk away from all of the other B.S. It is like buying snake oil to cure everything that ales you. It does not exist, and will be effective. We use oil and gas for transportation, Everything else at this time is total fantasy, and not reality.
Huh, well, Tea Party members are just Americans, and Americans gave you YOUR job; But, don't worry, WE the People can fix that for ya.
CHP natural gas is green and it pays for itself….as for the other stuff as you call it, Zero tax cuts in the place of subsidies would allow the private sector to decide on the winners and losers, not the government….think about it. CHP is the low hanging fruit of green alternatives, already producing 12.6% of this country's energy today.
Zero tax cuts in place of a tax on all energy…think about it.
We need a replacement of cap and trade or, just like health care, wallstreet reform, student loans, Tarp and bailouts, we will get cap and trade….don't be stubborn, fight back with a capitalist message that is simple and that the American people will love….Replace cap and tax with a tax cut for all forms of alternative energy and let businesses Build Baby Build in place of trusting Washington to "invest" our money.
Or go ahead and put your faith in Scott Brown and Lindsey Grahman….how is that wokin out for you/us.
I choose to fight to replace cap and tax instead of trusting the above to stop it.
didn't they used to host Larry Sinclairs blog?

I'm a Lance Captains Wafer guy myself. Maybe we can take out some Melba Toast people while we're at it.
The only differences are that goats eats weeds and girl goats give milk. Cummings just bleats.
what a dough head……… pop'n fresh. I am sooo sick of the people that are in power.
More bread and circus!
"The best way that the tea party can rid racism from their ranks is to help people get jobs.”
Or they can write Rep. Cummings a big, fat check. That's typically enough to satisfy most demagogues.
The Tea Party membership will be giving people jobs. Who needs a job in Maryland's 7th Congressional District?
Accusation = Guilt. There ya have it, liberal argument tactic in a nutshell. Good post.
bakatcha RR, your post was the incubator of my thought, so thank yooouuuu.
I am not a racist but I am disgusted!. The race baiting by the black radicals is so old it is becoming a joke. They have had 14 trillion dollars spent on them since 1965 and they still haven't learned anything and probably never will. We could give them everything in the whole world and they would turn it into shit or destroy it and blame the white race for their rage and renewed proverty. We all need to go on to something else like painting our toenails and forget these losers. They bore me! Liberals bore me as well as Democrats also. They have all shown their hand and they are lifes losers!
I am sick to death of these dummies in Washington thinking they can create jobs. The only thing they can do is get in the way of the real job creators.
WASHINGTON, GET THE F*!K OUT OF THE WAY SO JOBS CAN BE CREATED!
We don't need a fence on the southern border, we need a giant wall around DC.
Seriously, LIBERALS are soooo friggin STUPID!
To answer Mr. Hoft's last question: No, Cummings has no idea what he's talking about. I'm really -really- sorry to say that ridiculous man represents part of my state, Maryland. This was once a great state (if you discount us electing Spiro Agnew as governor), with the full range of geography: mountains to the west; ocean to the east; the world's largest estuary in the Chesapeake Bay; MARYLAND CRAB CAKES!!!
Then, there is the history within and all around us: The War of 1812 battlefields and sites (Bladensburg, Ft. McHenry); the Star-Spangled Banner was written in Baltimore harbor; the US Naval Academy; Annapolis was the capital of our nation at one time; Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history; Gettysburg just across the state line to the north; all the battles of the Revolution and Civil War just to the south in VA; an, perhaps the greatest, was Gen. Smallwood's Maryland Regiment in the American Revolution, who Gen. Washington counted on so many times to guard the back of the retreating Continental Army, and they did so with distinction.
There is still the history and geography, of course, but now, that great heritage, that great wonder of God's creation, is represented by the likes of Elijah Cummings. How sad.
Llyrin (formerly Shaun)
Good point…goats are at least useful
I would like an IQ test mandatory for anyone running for Federal Representative!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The NAACP was created by White People originally! However, it was a Socilist or Progressive movement.
Cummings just flushed himself out!
perhaps the two of us almost equal one Krauthammer . . . (or not)
LOL…………..NOT!
if only it were so RR, Mr K is awesome although he HAS moderated somewhat in the last
few years, much to my regret.
I think Elijah is on to something!!!!
The Tea Party members have been sending out millions of emails and letters, making millions of phone calls, staging thousands of rallies aimed at the Obama regime, with little results.
If we were to turn our attention to the businesses that are hiring undocumented democrats, put them under an intense spotlight, they would be forced to fire the undocumented democrats and hire Americans. That would put millions of low skilled workers back to work.
Think about it…..Millions of undocumented democrats will self deport. Millions of black and hispanics Americans back to work. Making the race card equal to the two of clubs…….Problems solved!
Scott Baio is a Republican
true story.
Regarding unemployment benefits, the Republicans are not against paying them, they just want to use the money the Democrats are hoarding to use for their slush fund. Unemployment benefits are not welfare. Workers pay into it for insurance for being laid off. There are the people in the Gulf that are unemployed because of Obama's moratorium on drilling. Talk about a FOOLISH and DETRIMENTAL policy. Then again, what do you expect when you have a COMMUNITY AGITATOR as President. The NAACP and some other people are comparing the Tea-Partiers to the KKK. I'm confused, is that a compliment? Senator Robert Byrd was a leader of the KKK and Obama and Clinton spoke very highly of him at his funeral.
