Democrat: Republicans hate ObamaCare because they’re racists. Also, Castro’s a genius.
posted at 5:13 pm on August 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
Pro-ObamaCare + pro-Castro = one crazy delicious GOP attack ad. The boss has been tracking Diane Watson’s race-baiting for years, but there’s one nuance to this she doesn’t mention: Watson endorsed Clinton over Obama last year, and therefore presumably knows only too well how energized the conservative response to HillaryCare was 15 years ago. How can it be racist to oppose a black president’s program after opposing the same program proposed by a white president? Unclear, but consider this a fresh, exciting addition to our “national conversation on race.”
Also, I like the way she warns about America becoming a “failed state” if Obama’s agenda doesn’t succeed before praising Cuba in the next breath. Your ideas are intriguing to me, congresswoman, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Exit question: She’s lifting her talking points here directly from Fidel himself, isn’t she?

What a dingleberry.

Damn. Fortunately for Obama, he looks nothing like this woman.
funky chicken on August 28, 2009 at 5:15 PM
She is a retard. But, she’s from CA. They make some serious craaazzzy representatives out there. Uh huh!
JAM on August 28, 2009 at 5:15 PM
And she thinks Che was a great person who found a very smart Cuban (Castro) to lead the country. Unbelievable.
FlyoverJ-HawkFan on August 28, 2009 at 5:16 PM
She endorsed the white woman over black man? RACIST!!1!
amerpundit on August 28, 2009 at 5:16 PM
I’m surprised this woman can dress herself.
jhffmn on August 28, 2009 at 5:16 PM
And Mussolini made the trains run on time. For the Record Cuba had the most advanced health Care in the Caribbean pre-revolution a fact often ignored by the fellow travelers of the democratic party.
rob verdi on August 28, 2009 at 5:16 PM
I don’t even hate Barry that much to say that.
Caper29 on August 28, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Another communist claiming to be a democrat. This country is infested with them.
darwin on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
I would rather have Obama than a President who looks like her . Who in the hell is she talking about ?
borntoraisehogs on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
How dare you bring logic into an argument dealing with President Spock!
Orange Doorhinge on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
That was gender racism.
exception on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Wha? He doesn’t look like her…Oh the mom jeans, right…She must wear mom jeans too…
Battlecruiser-operational on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Waxman called, he said the “gotch’r nose” game is just a gag for kids and he wants his nose back.
WashJeff on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
The progressives make me sick.
HadithHarry on August 28, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Well, I guess I’m a racist. Oh well.
FlyoverJ-HawkFan on August 28, 2009 at 5:18 PM
Somebody needs to get hold of the float that the Delta House made for the concluding scene in Animal House and then run it up on her lawn.
Hey, Rep. Watson: Eat me. And count me among your ridiculous category of racists.
BuckeyeSam on August 28, 2009 at 5:19 PM
She really over-enunciates doesn’t she.
AUINSC on August 28, 2009 at 5:19 PM
Progressives were born out of communism. The only way to fight them is to continually shine a light on them and never back down. Call them what they are to their faces … communists.
darwin on August 28, 2009 at 5:19 PM
I heard this woman speaking in the bathroom, and then I flushed….
HornetSting on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
It’s the policy, stupid.
Nothing to do with the color of your skin.
I love the race-baiting though. Seems like the default fall back position.
Dare to disagree and you are obviously a racist backwoods type who just hates black people.
Anders on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Progressive was an Alinsky name-change to not scare the people like Liberal does.
FlyoverJ-HawkFan on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
You can put lipstick on Barry, but he’d still look like a pig, and not this piece of pig waste.
SouthernGent on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Heh. All politics aside, Waxman is one of the butt-ugliest men I have ever seen…
Battlecruiser-operational on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
No lady — you’re a racist. A filthy, smelly pig of a racist. Now have a nice day.
D2Boston on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
This attitude is not uncommon on the left side of the aisle.
They’re more and more open about it. They love them some murderous thugs.
capitalist piglet on August 28, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Obama doesn’t look anything like you, lady. Obama doesn’t cover up his purple with lipstick. And Obama doesn’t shave off his eyebrows and draw them back in with a Sharpie.
Daggett on August 28, 2009 at 5:21 PM
I don’t see the resemblance.

another sterling example of the quality of california legislators.
thanks for the laugh.
homesickamerican on August 28, 2009 at 5:21 PM
thats a whole lot of crazy
Doctor Zhivago on August 28, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Clearly the ranting of a pathetic moronic psychopath.
MB4 on August 28, 2009 at 5:22 PM
I heard this today and I was sooo pissed. If she thinks Cuba is such a bang up place, I say we send her there. Let’s take her away her job, her pension, her expense account, her health care and just put her in a raft and send her to her good buddy Fidel.
Terrye on August 28, 2009 at 5:22 PM
To be fair, he was very good in the original Phantom of the Opera.
trubble on August 28, 2009 at 5:23 PM
You stupid hussy, the first President that looks like you is evidently trying to make sure he fails, along with the rest of us.
jimmy2shoes on August 28, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Ass-Clown.
Jaibones on August 28, 2009 at 5:23 PM
We have politicians who are too stupid to realize that they are Socialist or Communist. They simply do not know what those label mean to recognize that it fits what they believe.
cptthumper on August 28, 2009 at 5:23 PM
The Marxist roaches are crawling out of the woodwork now. I wonder what could ever have them so emboldened? Hubris.
elduende on August 28, 2009 at 5:24 PM
I like it. Give her the mike more often.
a capella on August 28, 2009 at 5:24 PM
Why waste good money on a raft, tell her to dog paddle.
jimmy2shoes on August 28, 2009 at 5:25 PM
LOL – I love that line.
strictnein on August 28, 2009 at 5:25 PM
If Cuba is so great how come everyone wants to leave?
Rumor is Castro is still burying the bodies of the people he slaughtered during his “revolution”.
darwin on August 28, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Diane Watson: A proud product of the California State Public Edumacation System

Maxine Waters has some real competition now.
Fletch54 on August 28, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Is she American?
fourdeucer on August 28, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Are the Dems really stupid enough to confuse the healthcare that Fidel and his brother get is the same healthcare the great Cuban unwashed get? Sheesh. Once again with these progressive douchebags, it comes down to are they really that stupid, or are they really that evil?
Battlecruiser-operational on August 28, 2009 at 5:26 PM
I hate his Karl Marx third and his Benito Mussolini third, but his Bozo the Clown third is not so bad.
If it sounds like Karl Marx, acts like Benito Mussolini and stumbles like Bozo the clown … … it’s probably Barack Obama!!!
MB4 on August 28, 2009 at 5:26 PM
I don’t think 1/10 of your audience knows what happened at Waterloo.
Bishop on August 28, 2009 at 5:26 PM
FIFY !
darwin on August 28, 2009 at 5:27 PM
I admit. I chuckled at this.
FontanaConservative on August 28, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Bush looked like me and this yahoo wished for him to fail..Pot/Kettle/Black???
But all that aside, if we had a president that had any common since and if he?she was purple ..I`D WISH HIM WELL.
Lou on August 28, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Oh snap! That’s who I was thinking he looked like! I just couldn’t remember it…Thanks for reminding me! :D
Battlecruiser-operational on August 28, 2009 at 5:28 PM
They probably think it’s something to put beer in.
jimmy2shoes on August 28, 2009 at 5:28 PM
This race-baiting crap is about to backfire on the communist party. If Obama wasn’t half Kenyan he would never have been elected. The white guilt voters are starting to realize that they didn’t elect a post-racial prez, they elected a racist president.
farright on August 28, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Hey Diane:
If Cuba is so great, then why is no one allowed to leave? Why is no one trying to sneak in?
Can’t answer? That’s OK. No other leftist dingbat has been able to either.
RadClown on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Exactly, they are continuing to dig their own graves. They have absolutely no idea what they have awakened. BOUT FRIGGIN TIME.
FlyoverJ-HawkFan on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Must be the Left Coast that loves Castro. My Cuban friends who fled the island after the revolution had a somewhat different experience with him. I dunno, maybe it was their time in his prisons and the torture and stuff that jaded them.
obladioblada on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
I wish Western California would seceed from the country.
WashJeff on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Boy, you can’t get nothin’ past ol’ Watson, huh.
She got us all figgered out all quick like. Darn. I guess we should just give up now, uh?
BobMbx on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
It’s interesting to look at whether Obama, and Bush, are to the left of Castro.
The Dean on August 28, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Fear them the most when they stop trying to hide their agenda.
Glenn Beck was right the other night, this is not your fathers democratic party.
portlandon on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
I’ll bet I could chip it in her right nostril from 40 yards out.
……awaiting accusation of being a KKKlansmen……
moonbat monitor on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
I agree, people on the left like her should get more “mike” time. We want her and her kind on the air all the time…this is the type of person who the conservatives would like to see out and speaking on behalf of liberals everywhere.
Good call…you understand also…
right2bright on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Yep. They think they are firmly ensconced in power, now. They might be right. We’ll find out soon enough.
After seeing flat-out marxists voted in to a Precedency, taking over Congress, welcomed as executive czars, championed by the media, lionized by the Washington junta for their attempted coup in Honduras … I can see why they think they have won.
This is why I see no solution but secession. This marxist cancer has metastasized and I have little faith that it can be removed without killing the patient. Best to take the energy states and producers out to restart a US based on our founding principles and without all of the marxist/progressive junk that the federal judiciary has forced on us over the past decades. Otherwise, the American way will just die.
progressoverpeace on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Obama isn’t going to fail because we WANT him to fail. He’s obviously quite capable of doing that all by himself.
DrStock on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Are you saying Obama looks like a girl?
Kini on August 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
God save this nation.
With idiots like her – we can only pray.

Venezuela & Cuba: The role model states for the Democratic Party.
Of course, back in Ted Kennedy’s heyday, the role model was the Soviet Union. But the Gipper put an end to that dream.
Norwegian on August 28, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Pretty obvious you aren’t, you’re willing to take her on a golf course…

He certainly throws like one…maybe that’s why he won’t show us his birth cert…..check under his tail…
HornetSting on August 28, 2009 at 5:32 PM
I for won am glad we have people like her living here in this country.
FontanaConservative on August 28, 2009 at 5:32 PM
Truth is she’s preaching to the choir, and will probably be reelected by a landslide.
cjk on August 28, 2009 at 5:33 PM
She’s Nazi, Fascist, Socialist, Commie enough for me – I’d vote for her. I hate all those damn normal folks who just want to have a good job, raise their kids, pay their mortgage, have good school systems and safe communities and go to the church of their choice – now those people are dangerous……….better get the Media Czar to record their e-mails………….
Cinday Blackburn on August 28, 2009 at 5:33 PM

‘And there was another brilliant person…who unified a great country…Say what you will about Stalin….blah, blah, blech..’
I’d like to see her point out on a map all of these far east countries she visited…

Miss Piggy says, “if this president fails, America fails.”
No – if this sorry excuse now living in the White House fails – American wins.

It will bend the curve.
What?
You are a racist if you dont support this.
really?
We need to do this for Ted!
Wow… GFY!
Jussi on August 28, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Just another reason to kill off LA, besides Maxine Waters.
Those idiots deserve these representatives.
Exit question: Will those same idiots ever ask why their lot in life never gets any better? Could it be that Watson and Waters have a vested interest in the status quo?
GarandFan on August 28, 2009 at 5:34 PM
No, but he throws like one.

If I close my eyes, it sounds like I’m listening to Maxine Waters. You people in California really can pick ‘em.

She likes Castro ? How about one way ticket to Cuba, crazy girl?

darwin on August 28, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I don’t know what is more sickening: the Congresswoman’s words or the people shouting and cheering them.
Castro was NOT a lawyer!!!! What kind of shrooms is she taking?? Castro led the revolution. Che was his executioner-in-chief.
There are too many folks in Congress who think exactly like her. there are also too many folks who will re-elect her over and over due to her skin color and/or enunciation skills. (If you enunciate well, they’ll think you must be as great as Jesse Jackson.)
