John Boehner has no choice. He must discipline Andrew Carson for his unbelievable remarks about the Tea Party, insulting other members of Congress and disgracing the institution.

“A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African-Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.

Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who serves as the CBC’s chief vote counter, said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would “love to see us as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree.

Carson also said the tea party is stopping change in Congress, likening it to “the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow.”

The explosive comments, caught on tape, were uploaded on the Internet Tuesday, and Carson’s office stood by the remarks.”

I’ve contacted Allen West’s office to ask him to introduce the measure and we all need to begin to light up the phone lines to Boehner’s office to make sure action is taken.
