OK then -Hallandale commissioner: Muslim congresswoman might 'blow up' Capitol Hill

because she said they should ITMF!

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/hallandale/fl-ne-hallandale-official-attacks-rashida-tlaib-20190114-story.html
<snip>

A Jewish commissioner from Hallandale Beach has accused a Muslim congresswoman from Michigan of being an anti-Semite who might “blow up Capitol Hill.”

Her comments were directed at U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who sparked a political firestorm soon after being sworn in to Congress on Jan. 3 by vowing to help fellow Democrats go after President Donald Trump and “impeach the mother------.”

Five days later, Hallandale Commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub signed an online petition seeking to remove Tlaib from office and posted the petition on her personal Facebook page.

“Proudly signed,” Lima-Taub wrote. “A Hamas-loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”

Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, made history as one of the first two Muslim women to ever serve in Congress.

Trump makes racists feel proud about their racism.

Now, the racist will receive a backlash and claim that she is being victimized by the non-racists.

Poor racists.


I held up a sign last night at a protest against a local racist. The sign says:

Do not like being called a racist?
Do not speak like a racist.

Thank you for protesting.

I have a goal to show up at five or more protests this year. I haven’t done enough.

I have no illusion that they will be convinced, but they should know that if they speak publicly, they might get confronted.

The entire nation has now learned that the "pResident" is the target of an FBI investigation into his probable collusion with the Russians - and this twit thinks that Congresswoman Tlaib is the danger?

... there's no such animal as an "intelligent racist".

It's their low IQs that compel them to believe they must be somehow superior to somebody - because they can't live with the fact that by virtue of their own abject stupidity, they are the inferior group among us.
