When treason talks....Rep. Diane Watson praises Che Guevara, Castro and communism

August 31, 12:20 PM
Geoff Caldwell Wichita Independent Examiner
Treason was talking last week when Rep. Diane Watson (D, CA) spewed forth at her own town hall meeting that to oppose President Obama was racist, that Fidel Castro was to be praised for what he had accomplished in Cuba, and that Che Guevara was a patriot for "kicking out the wealthy" during the revolution....

She is allowed to raise the racism card, no problem. Glenn Beck does it and he starts loosing advertisers.

THIS my friends is why we will continue to have problems with race in this country, IMHO. Until we call racism, racism, regardless of the color of skin of the person espousing it, we will never move past it.

And just because I don't agree with the POTUS, who just happens to be a man of color, DOES NOT make me a racist. It makes me an American Citizen who can not stand the POLICIES of this administration.

How is it that this video did not find "National attention" while this nation is at war?
I know the answer, but it still outrages my sensibilites; the simple concepts of right and wrong.
Maybe if I print a million tee shiets that tell the truth "OBAMA IS A PHUCKIN HONKEY" is that racist enough to grab national attention.

I just wonder how many of these wealthy people would continue to praise Castro if Che took all their money during a Communist revolution for "better healthcare."

Just a thought.

This lady seems to be a quite crazy, and her history is terribly off.
“After Che kicked out the rich people, then they went out into the country to find a leader…an attorney Fidel Castro.” What the f*ck?!

What goes on inside of her head, and how did we get to a point where people like her run this country? Her stupidity, and the applause from that dead audience, and the size of her shoe collection, seems an insurmountable obstacle in my pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Congresswoman Diane E. Watson, born in Los Angeles, is a lifetime resident of California’s 33rd Congressional District, which includes Culver City, portions of the City of Los Angeles, and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

Representative Watson attended Birdie Lee Bright Elementary School (formerly 36th Street School), Foshay Junior High School, and Dorsey High School.

She also holds a M.A. in School Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. in Educational Administration from the Claremont Graduate School.

Her lifetime commitment to education stems from her involvement in the Los Angeles public schools where she worked as an elementary school teacher and school psychologist. She has lectured at both California State Universities at Los Angeles and Long Beach.

In 1975, Congresswoman Watson became the first African-American woman to be elected to the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education. Her legacy there includes efforts to expand school integration and toughen academic standards.

The year 1978 marked her election to the California State Senate where she was chosen to chair, from 1981 to 1998, the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. She also served on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

During her tenure in the California State Senate, Congresswoman Watson became a statewide and national advocate for health care, consumer protection, women, and children. In 1993, she authored the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program Act, which led to pioneering research into the causes of birth defects, and the Residential Care Facilities Act, to ensure that senior citizens receive quality care in nursing and assisted living homes. In 1997, she introduced legislation to toughen food health safety requirements for restaurants. She also played a key role in the enactment of legislation to promote breast cancer research.

Congresswoman Watson has been an advocate for commonsense welfare reform in the State of California. She played a major role in formulating the State of California's TANF program, which provides education, child care, and employment to welfare recipients. She sought funding to help teen mothers complete their education and gain jobs through the Cal-Learn program.

In 1999, President William Jefferson Clinton appointed Congresswoman Watson to serve as the United States Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia. Watson served in this capacity until 2001 when she returned to California to run for Congress in a special election held on June 5, 2001, after the death of Congressman Julian Dixon. She was reelected on November 5, 2002 to a full two year term and has served in each succeeding Congress.

Congresswoman Watson is a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and is the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Government Management, Organization, and Procurement.
