You know Maxine Waters. She was the Congresswoman who actually threatened to “socialize” the oil companies for not doing what she wants them to do. Now she’s back and wants the protesters opposing the socialization of health care probed for, you got it, racism:

The media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists like the ones who descended on Washington last weekend, one liberal congresswoman said Wednesday.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it’s not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.

“I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed,” Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. “I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers.”

“What I’m looking for is the very people who carry the signs who are referring to the policies in very, very strange ways like ‘Obamacare’ and ‘Barry Obamacare with Kennedy,’” she said. “What I’ve been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody’s referring to — everybody on the Mall, in the rally.”

Funny story: “ObamaCare” is actually a modern version of the term “HillaryCare”, which opponents named after a white woman from Illinois back in 1993. You know, when said white woman tried to socialize our health care system and, er, opponents strongly protested and mocked it. Suddenly it’s all about racism, apparently.

Waters is either lying or is frighteningly ignorant of modern American history. Your basic high school civics student should know that the term “(Politician)Care” dates back at least as far as 1993, when it was attributed to our white First Lady. To assume it’s a new, racist term is absolutely moronic. It’s applied to any liberal Democrat seeking to socialize America’s health care system.
