"The chair will ask the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the rules on decorum"

Nothing like Democrat members of Congress doing their level best to fan the fires of racial division in this country based solely on conjecture, presupposition and agenda driven opinion:

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., lost his right to speak on the House floor after he violated rules by putting on a hoodie and sunglasses in honor of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen shot last month.

"May God bless Trayvon Martin's soul, his family and -- [inaudible]" Rush said as he was removed from the House floor this morning for wearing a hoodie.

Rush was wearing a grey hoodie under his suit jacket. He took off his jacket, pulled the hood over his head and put on sunglasses while saying "racial profiling has to stop, Mr. Speaker. Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum," he said.

"The member will suspend," said a visibly frustrated Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Miss., the speaker pro tempore presiding over the morning session. "The member is no longer recognized. The chair will ask the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the rules on decorum."

Rush shouted Bible passages over the sound of the gavel as the speaker interrupted him, but he was eventually pulled from the House floor. "The chair will ask the sergeant-at-arms to enforce the rules on decorum," Harper said.

Rush was not alone in his race-baiting antics:

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Florida): This is Treyvon Martin. Trayvon Martin's murderer is still at large. It's been one month, thirty days, with no arrest. I want America to see this sweet young boy who was hunted down like a dog, shot in the street, and his killer is still at large. 

Not one person has been arrested in Treyvon's murder. I want to make sure that America knows that in Sanford, Florida, there was a young boy murdered. He is buried in Miami, Florida, and not one person has been arrested even though we all know who the murderer is. This was a standard case of racial profiling. No more! No more! We will stand for justice for Treyvon Martin.

This is now a full blown circus and these irresponsible people who ought to know better are doing that which will likely lead to more mayhem and even murder.

Pathetic.

In the mean-time, our Divider-In-Chief is mute.

Why?

Because this fires up his base and if we know anything about this President, it's that it's all about his being re-elected.

"racial profiling has to stop, Mr. Speaker. Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum"

So either he’s trying to say hoodies are only worn by Black people or hoodies in general are their own race…or something. Talk about “racial profiling…”

And actually, Mr. Rush, what has to stop is idiots like you being elected.

"This is now a full blown circus and these irresponsible people who ought to know better?"

You missed the point. They do know better, or in this case the truth. the problem is, the truth gets in the way of the race baiting meme being hustled by the so called leaders of the civil rights movement.

Much like Rep. Hank Johnson D Ga. Who was captured in the house that Trayvon Martin was killed for "walking while black in a gated community. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/03/27/dem_rep_trayvon_executed_for_walking_while_black_in_a_gated_community.html

This is the guy that replaced the previous racist Cynthia McKinney in this district.

The same guy that didn't want more Marines transferred to Guam for fear that the island would capsize and tip over from the added weight.

This is the caliber of people who are being elected to the house and senate all across this country. And we wonder why?

Race baiting for Obama! Rally the base, get out the vote, declare war on hispanic America. So many race baiters; so little time.

I recall when Obama gave his State of the Union address a while
back, and used that opportunity to publicly reprimand the
Supreme Court Justices in attendance, misrepresenting a recent
decision they'd handed down. Justice Alito was caught on video
mouthing the words "that's not true!".

The liberals and their lapdogs in the mainstream media tut-tutted
over Justice Alito's "inappropriate" behavior. Where are they now,
with their outrage and deep concern for propriety and civility on
the floor of the House?
