We are shocked, absolutely shocked, that anyone would accuse California Senator Barbara Boxer of being condescending. She doesn’t know the meaning of the word.
No, seriously, we don’t think she knows the meaning of the word. She doesn’t know the meaning of a lot of words.
In this exchange, Black Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Harry Alford accuses the dimwitted Senator Boxer of making condescending remarks, racial remarks, and was undoubtedly thinking, stupid remarks.
Can’t really blame Alford. Boxer talks to him as if he got to the hearings on the short bus. He showed her every bit of respect she deserved, which was none.
Boxer looks baffled. But what the hell, she normally looks baffled.

What a dodo headed imbecile. Or perhaps doodoo headed would be the better choice.
I am surprised she did not have a statement from Jessie Jackson or Louis Farrakhan. I am glad the democrats are starting to self destruct. Boxer has lived in her elitist ivory tower for so long she starts to believe her own BS.
The really sad thing is the lefty’s all over the net are defending her actions while tearing up Mr. Alford. How obvious does racism have to be for the democrats to notice it on their own side?? Do they realize how disingenuous they sound by trying to pass off her obvious racism while they beat on Mr. Alford? If I am a black person, I am insulted by Boxer and then twice insulted by the democrats for coming to her defense!!!
Good work Boxer! You have single handedly brought the Democratic Party to it’s knees! hahahahahaha!
Ah say, ah say, ah say boy! Don’t you be coming ’round here telling me dis and telling me dat when all my other negroes be saying yes ma’am!
Note she didn’t have the nerve to explain her deserving the title ’senator.’ He called her madam, and that in itself probably made all the honest madams in the world hang their entrepreneurial heads in shame.

(What Boxer actually heard)
Missy Babs! Missy Babs! I dont know nuthing bout no green jobs.
Mr. Alford you are a true American hero. Thanks for standing up to the elitist and shining a spotlight on their obvious racism. Obamacorn and his cronies are doing a horrible injustice to the black community and he is a horrible role model. We are starting to see that now.
Stay strong People. We shall get our country back.
Men like Mr Alford are a beacon of hope and sanity in this topsy turvy world. Talk about bearding the lioness in her own den! Not only is Mr Alford an honest man, he’s also got brass ones the size of Colorado!
I was so proud for Harry!!!! I have hope for America! Hey Barbara, try the Helathcare package first & let us know how good it works!
God Bless America!
Please note that we have updated the post with audio from an interview by Dennis Miller of Harry Alford.
SHE NEEDS TO BE VOTED OUT!!! SHAME ON HER!!!
This is ridiculous. The man is there trading on being black, as head of the Black Chamber of Commerce. Without being so cynical, let’s suppose that there are black interests that need special rep in national business policy. Fine. He’s the head of that group.
Boxer et al figure they have all the blacks in the U.S. towing their line. But Alford shows up to say, “No, you don’t.” If I’m not mistaken, he SAID he was speaking for the black community.
So how is it irrelevant for her to bring up what other black groups say on the matter? The point is that HE is there to say, “No, you do NOT know what all black businesspeople feel on C&T,” and anticipating this, she prepared quotes from black groups (business committees?) who offer countering opinions.
What he should have said is, “Are you doubting that I speak for the black business community? You can trot out the NAACP or other groups you fund, to look as if you have all the support of the black community, as if we’re a homogeneous group that behave like political sheep, but I’m here offering you other evidence.” But then again, where would he stand? He’s claiming to speak for all black businessmen.
She simply sat there and said, “Well, Alford, we’re going to enter into the record that there are other black business committees who disagree, who ARE worried about global warming.”
Tit for tat. They’re both obnoxious, political creatures.
