Ah, when identity politics collide…
Barbara Boxer is an idiot. But this video is priceless, watching both of these useless tools go after each other:
Ed at Hot Air:
I just love it when white politicians set themselves up as arbiters of racial authenticity, especially when they try to scold minorities for drifting off the political reservation. It belies a “soft” bigotry, if you will, when Barbara Boxer assumes all black people think the same and hold the same opinions — or even worse, that they should.
I did notice that several times during the video, Mr Alford responds to Boxer with the very condescending “Yes Ma’am”, but unlike General Michael Walsh, she didn’t interrupt him and demand to be called “Senator”, because dammit…she earned it.
UPDATE — Breitbart.tv has a follow up interview with Harry Alford: “Never Have I Heard Such A Racial Slant Directed Towards Me In All These Years.”
Also, Mr. Alford notes that General Walsh emailed him right after the testimony with the message, “Go get ‘em.”
As I’ve said before, the US Military hates Democrats. And with good reason.

Why can’t all minorities understand that white liberals know what’s good for them? Why do they have to get all uppity and think differently? Further, why would a black man want to rely on facts instead of his empathy?
It’s always amusing to watch liberals – particular white liberals – get all huffy when someone who is of a minority race wanders off the liberal plantation. It’s as if you can’t be authentically black or Hispanic or what have you unless you also buy in to liberal dogma.
If you doubt this…then go read the comments section at the liberal stink hole “Think Progress” (which is neither).
Thanks, Robbie. For that link to “Think Progress”. Let me go wash out my eyes with alcohol………
Seriously, if they manage to finish the revolution they have started, these are the people that will kill out of hand.
I saw this yesterday. I also took note of the times he used the words maam. I wish there could be hope the people of California would send this idiot packing, but I know better.
Barbara Boxer is a malignant cunt, and a shameful excuse of a United States Senator.
Sam, calling Boxer the same name the left freuently called Sarah Palin acheives nothing.
Is Boxer a rich, arrogant liberal elitist? Yes. But then, you have to look at the people she represents and the condition of the state she comes from.
The mass exodus that is rapidly approaching with people leaving her state is going to look like the exodus of people from Oklahoma heading to California during the Dust Bowl. Already businesses are heading for friendlier ground.
When California has 25% unemployment and the only ones working are the illegals they have allowed to settle there, there will be a revolt.
It is certainly no wonder that California is in such a mess. Between Hollywood egomaniacs, Congressional narcissists, and illegal Mexicans taking all of the money. Maybe it would be best if they just fell in the Ocean.
Good to see her get dressed down for her absurd and condescending approach.
