Letter: Question Rep. Jones on radio show

11 Comments | Leave a Comment


I am a Democrat. For some of you, that troubles you. But I’ve always voted on who I thought was the best for the job.

I have voted for U.S. Rep. Walter Jones ever since I have lived in the Greenville area. He personally intervened in a situation for my family and votes his conscience. While I don’t always agree with him (Freedom fries? Really?), I respect him. Until now.

I recently read an article detailing how Jones appeared on a radio show named “The Political Cesspool” in Memphis, Tenn., which openly aligns itself with white supremacy. According to the article I read, the hosts have referred to African Americans as “heathen savages” and “subhuman” and suggested that slavery was “the greatest thing that ever happened” to blacks.

He KNEW

http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/statement.php <-That is a link to the website for the radio program. It is their mission statement. It is different to think that "#2America would not be as prosperous, ruggedly individualistic, and a land of opportunity if the founding stock were not Europeans." than to be in the NAACP or any other group. I am or appear white. If I think I am better, (which I do not) because of my skin color that is the definition of a racist. People of the NAACP and groups like that have banned together through time to prevent people from treating them badly because they are black or Jews or whatever not because they think they are better but because people treat them bad because they have a different skin tone or religion. I don't need to ban together with other white people and love being white. I am what I am. I had no choice and it makes me no better nor worse than anyone else.

Furthermore, when Jones was on the program at about the minute 5 mark. You hear the man introducing the Congressman say this: "Well, I don't think James (the show's host) would vote for you now, even if you burned down the White House because you like The Four Seasons" (a music group). That is when Jones should have but didn't walk away, instead he laughed. He knew. He knew that appealing to White Supremacist he could get some support for his bill to impeach Obama. I mean Obama has dark skin and they don't like dark skinned people a hard reach to think he might be pandering to racist.

Furthermore, his reasoning for wanting to impeach is faulty because the Congress has given the President this power consistently since the end of WWII. And thank God too, if someone attacked us today it would take Congress lord knows how long to make a decision. Someone would filibuster and we'd all be dead. Korean War ... no Korean Conflict (NATO actions)... not a war sanction by Congress. Three years and 36,516 dead and my grandpa wants the use of his foot back and part of his intestines back. Libya (for which Jones want Obama impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors" was a 5 month strategic bombing campaign (also NATO action) and without I believe the loss of an American life. Jones needs to apologies. If you lose the bigot demographic, so be it. You can claim it is one of your many poor choices like supporting the "breaking of young peoples bodies" by supporting the war that broke them.

Jones YOU represent ME by proxy. I don't want an idiot (which is definitely the case because war is hell and people die and you should have known that and you need to do more for our regions' military members than just whine- like make effective policy to help them and their families and fight BRAC) or a racist (I don't know that he is but he will apparently pander to one in a hot minute) to speak in my name or in the names of my friends and family. And please don't attack me as anti-military I am not. I am pro military they do a great job. It's not their fault their commander in chief was the DECIDER. Just a poor decider. I knew they were all full of it back then just like I know Israel is full of it now about Iran. We never needed to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan and we don't need to fight in Iran. Unless you think they have some undiscovered gold we can haul back and pay off our debts to China which is who we need to look at...but we are in Afghanistan now. Lets the military do what they do and get out no scramble like a retreat.

The Political Cesspool

Ms. Hollis:

Why is it perfectly fine for blacks have advocacy groups like the NAACP, Hispanic groups like NCLR and Jewish groups have AIPAC, yet is a mortal sin for whites to have any group or a person to advocate for the interest of white people? Second; the article you referred to is from Mother Jones, a less than mainstream publication. The savages and subhumans you are referring to is the people responsible for the horrendous criminal acts against two innocent people in Knoxville, TN, not to an entire race of people! Third; the host of the Political Cesspool, James Edwards has stressed time and time again he has nothing but love of people of all races, and wishes them success, and stresses equal rights for all, special privileges for none. What the staff of the Political Cesspool does is talk about what people think in private or in close circles of friends. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck etc, the Political Cesspool actually talk about Affirmative Action, mass illegal immigration, Jewish power and influence, black violence, the problems with forced diversity, and the hypocrisy of both the left and right. How can anyone disagree with the statement "You can't have a first world nation with a third world population." As for Rep. Jones, it's his decision what radio show to appear on. If you disagree you can contact Rep. Jones, vote for his opponent this November, or run for his seat yourself.

why

are so upset with Congressman Jones?

are you as upset that obama's spiritual leader was wright, or that he associated with ayers, that he now associates with know criminals, that he appointed a know tax cheater to head the treasury

i don't remember seeing anything from you about these things, maybe i missed it

*have always liked and

*have always liked and respected rep jones. my hope is that he was scheduled on this program not knowing of some of its beliefs. perhaps someone on his staff needs to go if this was knowingly done. find it hard to believe that mr jones would be on this type of program on purpose.

Average Jones

It is past time for Jones to retire. He contributes little to congressional discourse and his views are outdated. We do not need average people in congress, we need exceptional and vibrant people, Jones is neither. Unfortunately the constituents who continue to vote him in are similarly "pablumic".

???

I thought that was the political norm, you know, just hangin with people like Ludacris, Kanye West, Jay-Z, etc... You know, convicted criminals, men who denigrate women, rappers talking of killing cops. Don't know why you seem so upset. It's the political norm from the top down.

Wow

Kanye lumped in with white power sickos.

Are all retired people so out of touch?

There is no excuse for Rep. Jones appearing on racists show

Like Jody Hollis it concerns me why Congressman Walter B. Jones felt the need to appear on some White Supremacists Radio Show. Attacking Jody Hollis for questioning why her Congressman would appear on such a show makes no sense at all. Yes Hollis is a Democrat, but she also said she has voted for Congressman Jones before. When I first heard about this I admit it surprise me. I am a African American and I don't believe it was a oversight. These white supremacists are first class racists,fill with hate and Congressman Jones had to know that.I do think Jones owe the people he represent an answer.

Jody try this

Call his local office and ask.Which is something most would have done before writing a letter to a newspaper. The fact that you ask if he embraces these idiots just proves that you do not know Rep. Jones at all. But then again you said you were a democrat.

Mr. Jones is a good man. I

Mr. Jones is a good man. I am African American and although I don't agree with all of his views on things; he's a great servant and genuinely cares about all of his constituents. This is obviously an oversight on his part.

Yeah Jody

If you ask to many questions the bullies come out and call you names.

Keep askin your questions....they got nothing else to do.
