    Black caucus wants Issa stripped of committee chairmanship for Cummings mike cut

    Washington Post

    "Mr. Issa is a disgrace and should not be allowed to continue in a leadership role," wrote Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, in the letter to Boehner.
    In a strongly worded letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), the Congressional Black Caucus called for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) to be stripped of his House committee chairmanship after he abruptly ended a hearing Wednesday morning over the objection of Democrats in the room.

Elijah Cummings's microphone turned off after adjourning a hearing March 5, 2014, after former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner exercised her Fifth Amendment right not to speak about the IRS targeting scandal.

    "Mr. Issa is a disgrace and should not be allowed to continue in a leadership role," wrote Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), who leads the Congressional Black Caucus, in the letter to Boehner.

    The Wednesday hearing on the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting controversy quickly turned tense. When former IRS official Lois Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment right and declined to testify, Issa adjourned the meeting of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

    The panel’s ranking member, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), asked that the hearing be continued so he could speak, but Issa refused and had Cummings's microphone cut off. Republicans on the panel, led by Issa, then walked out of the room while the Maryland congressman continued to speak.

    "Congressman Darrell Issa of California abused his authority and therefore must be reprimanded to ensure the dignity of the House of Representatives is preserved," Fudge wrote. "We urge you to take prompt action to maintain the integrity of this body and remove Mr. Issa as chair of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee immediately."

    House Democrats also attempted Thursday to introduce a resolution condemning Issa's behavior at the hearing.

    Spokespeople for Issa could not be immediately reached for comment.

    Asked by reporters about the CBC's letter, Boehner said that he believes Issa was not out of line.
    "He was within his rights to do what he did," Boehner said.

    The Democratic Socialist Party of America


    An article appeared nearly one year ago in the Canada Free press outlining the intertwining relationship between the progressive movement, the socialist movement, communism, the Democratic Socialists of America, The Congressional Black Caucus and elected representatives of the United States House of Representatives. The article was completely ignored by the U.S. press.

    “Together, Communist Party and Socialist Party leaders established the Democratic Socialists of America, and they share a common ideology which is now the platform and mantra of today’s DNC – CPUSA.

    The Internal Revenue Service scandal involves more than nameless, faceless Tea Party groups. Congress needs to expand its investigation and ask officials about the targeting of individual critics of President Barack Obama, good Americans whom they tried to destroy and intimidate. That story will resonate with the American people.

    In a country of racial equality, why do we have a caucus in the Congress that tries to promote the interests of one race over others? So much for the melting pot.

    Race was not the issue. Cummins has been the best friend that the IRS and Lois Lerner has had during these hearings. The hearing was adjourned and Cummins wanted to grandstand.

    Did anyone ever collect that $100,000.00 that was offered for video proof that Cummins was racially attacked during his little victory walk with Nancy Pelosi after they triumphantly celebrated ramming Obamacare down the throats of the American people on a party line vote? JMO

    I think it was done to take the focus off Lois Lerner.

    Race race race, these people ought to be embarrassed, has nothing to do with race. This divisiveness needs to stop.

    Obama has divided this nation more than any other entity, or combination of entities since the beginning of the Civil War. He has had to work very hard, targeting crucial old hate idioms that he knew would work right into his hands. The utter and total reverse discrimination actions of his attorney general confirm it.

    Progressives' patronizing of blacks - 'Victims In Need of Special Favors'

    This is all a part of the progressive agenda to hook Americans, particularly black Americans, on government handouts. In future elections, they will be able to claim that anyone who campaigns on cutting taxing and spending is a racist. That’s what Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said in denouncing the Republican 1994 call for tax cuts. He said, “It’s not ‘****’ or ‘ni—r’ anymore. (Instead,) they say, ‘Let’s cut taxes.’”

    The best response to these despicable, pieces of crap is to make more phone calls and make a contribution to ALIPAC.
