Rep. Maxine Waters mocked at California tea party conference

This pisses me off to no end. You have to look at the picture to see what the fuss is about. It's disgusting.

LA Times link: http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-rep-maxine-waters-mocked-at-tea-party-1502552052-htmlstory.html

An unflattering picture of Waters, obviously doctored, was flashed on a screen just after Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Elk Grove) delivered the keynote address Friday evening.

Woody Woodrum of the conservative activist group California Screaming Eagles told the crowd that it was Waters' reaction when she heard McClintock was coming to speak to California tea party members, drawing a big laugh in the room.

“It was just a joke,” Woodrum said later.

Woodrum said it wasn’t meant to be mean-spirited. He said the photo has been floating around the Internet.

Didn't that hairdo and big red mouth make you fall down laughing? So funny...thank God for white racists and misogynists.

Strong black women make the best targets. It makes me sick that these people are part of our government.

They tend to go after those who are the biggest threats to them. She's pissing them off - good.
