Time to censure Barbara Lee; Joseph Farah reveals proper label for congresswoman calling others 'racist'

Joseph Farah  ... "Here’s something deliciously small for him to consider: How about censuring ( California Bay area elected) Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., for her prodigiously intemperate and slanderous characterizations of colleagues as “racist.”

"Recently, she hurled the mindless, reactionary epithet ay Rep. Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., for making a point that was lost on race hustlers like Barbara Lee when it was first articulated so thoughtfully and courageously by the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan in 1965 – a Democrat, by the way. When Bill O’Reilly called Lee on her slur, she called him a racist, too.

"She has famously labeled as racist all those in favor of requiring proper identification to vote.

"Last year, following the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict in the killing of Trayvon Martin, she declared it was evidence that “institutional racism is alive and well in America.”

"In 2013 she called Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, a racist.

"In 2011 she called a group trying to save black babies from abortion racist.

"In 2005, she called Bill Bennett a racist.

"Suffice it to say, “racist” is her mantra.

"What is she hiding with all this racist talk? An extremist background and political career that is so shocking she should never have been seated in the House of Representatives in the first place.

"That’s why it’s long past time for the House to censure her for conduct unbecoming a member of Congress." ...
