Only From A LIB

From Inside the Beltway
John McCaslin

How many people hear from the main stream media
on this kind of story? And this is a Democrat!Where would
this story be if it was a Right Winger?

Here's the phrase that makes me laugh.

According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called Mr.
Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his arrest not
be leaked to the press, and not get back to her district."

The whole story;

Mouthy Maxine
Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, reportedly had
former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and homeless activist
Ted Hayes arrested for disorderly conduct outside her
Capitol Hill office several days ago, then requested he
remain quiet about his apprehension.
"[T]o have a citizen arrested because they disagree is
beyond the pale and begs the question, why do they care
more about illegal aliens than they do their own constituents?"
Washington columnist Nina May wrote this week on the
Renaissance Women Web site.

Mrs. May was to have met with Mr. Hayes on June 19 when
he was on Capitol Hill meeting with a lawmaker about illegal
immigration. She later learned of his arrest when he couldn't
keep the appointment.
"Ted's concern with the [proposed immigration] bill is that,
as a black man who has worked with the homeless and
disadvantaged for years, he sees an amnesty bill as one
more obstacle for poor blacks to overcome," Mrs. May wrote.
"He sees the illegal aliens in his home area of Los Angeles putting
an insurmountable burden on the social welfare and education
system, and sees jobs that would ordinarily go to his people
... going to the illegals.

And when he speaks out about it, he is castigated as a racist,
called names, slandered and threatened."
Mr. Hayes had stopped in to see Mrs. Waters, who he has
known for more than 20 years, only to have her walk past
him and into the hallway.
"Ted got up to follow her asking why ... ? To this query she
spun around and responded, 'You are full of [expletive],
You are full of [expletive], Ted Hayes,' " Mrs. May wrote.
At that point, a U.S. Capitol Police officer responded and
placed Mr. Hayes in handcuffs. He was charged with
disorderly conduct, a police spokesman confirmed yesterday.
According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called
Mr. Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his
arrest not be leaked to the press, and not get back to her
district."
Mrs. Waters declined to speak to Inside the Beltway yesterday.
