‘This Defies Any Further Explanation’

Posted on | May 12, 2011 | 4 Comments

That’s the caption Larry O’Connor of Breitbart TV supplies for this video of ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis singing “Wal-Mart Sucks” at a mocking “church” event in New York City:

(Via Memeorandum.) Well, you may ask, who is Bertha Lewis? What does Bertha Lewis believe? She spoke during a March meeting of the Young Democratic Socialists:

“Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me. You know that’s no light thing to do — to actually say, I’m a socialist — because you guys know right now we are living in a time which is going to dwarf the McCarthy era. It is going to dwarf the internment during World War II. We are right now in a time that is going to dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation,” Lewis said.
Lewis went on to explain that she wasn’t exaggerating — just look at the Tea Parties, she reasoned.
“This is not rhetoric or hyperbole — this is real,” Lewis said. “This rise of this Tea Party so-called movement — bowel movement in my estimation — and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism.”

So now you know who Bertha Lewis is. Why does the head of ACORN hate Wal-Mart? Matthew Vadum explains at Human Events:

ACORN has always had a special, visceral contempt for Walmart because it is not unionized and hasn’t given money to the in-your-face protest group to make it go away.

    We should start a campaign to insist that Bertha play a prominent, public role in the Obama 2012 campaign. As an Obama campaign spokesperson, she would have a much greater platform from which to defend the persecuted young socialists, explain the role of socialist organizations and ideas to the current labor movement and community organizing infrastructure, and to remind voters why people who shop at Walmart really suck. I see wall-to-wall segments on CNN, MSNBC, and the networks.

    If Democrats deny Bertha her proper voice, we call them raaaaacists and neo-McCarthyites.
