California congresswoman Maxine Waters had this to say recently:

"I’m not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to Hell.”

Mrs. Waters was speaking at a "Kitchen Table Summit" in Ingleside, California when she said those words, as seen in video footage right here.

Between you and me, I don't think that kind of talk is appropriate for anyone to say to anybody under any circumstances.

Mrs. Waters is a congresswoman for the 35th District of California. 
Mrs. Waters is an elected official.
Mrs. Waters represents was the chosen candidate of all the citizens who voted her in to office.
Mrs. Waters represents all of the citizens in her district.

I wonder if all of the people in Mrs. Waters' district appreciate how she conducts herself and speaks about people in public. I wonder if all of the people in Mrs. Waters' district appreciate how she conducts herself and speaks about people in public, while on stage, into a microphone, for everyone to see and hear on the internet and the news and read about on the internet and in the newspapers.

There has to be a standard of decorum somewhere.
Mrs. Waters certainly has not set that standard.
