Top Democrat accuses anti-stimulus GOP governors of…RAAAAACISM!
Well, Attorney General Eric Holder, here's your conversation about race: House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina is now accusing GOP governors who have fundamental misgivings about the trillion-dollar stimulus of opposing the law because they don’t like black people.
Who’s being divisive, Eric Holder? Who’s obsessed with race? Who needs to stop self-segregating and stop spreading race-based poison? Where’s the outrage? Clyburn earlier this year invoked plantation imagery to suggest that S.C. GOP Gov. Mark Sanford’s opposition to earmarks was based on RAAAACISM.
Now this:
Representative James Clyburn held a roundtable meeting to discuss how the newly-signed stimulus package will affect South Carolina.
He said not only would it create jobs, but also repair roads and bridges around the state.
Clyburn also had some strong comments for Gov. Mark Sanford on why he thinks he opposed the stimulus.
“The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African-American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governor’s represent states that are in the black belt. I was insulted by that,” Clyburn said. “All of this was a slap in the face of African-Americans. It had nothing to do with Governor Sanford.”

We don’t need more talk like this. We need the racial grievance-mongers to shut up. Shut. Up.

Texas in the black belt? Don’t let the Hispanics hear you say that.
I’m REALLY tired of this post-racial lifestyle that Dear Leader brought with him.
I can’t remember so many racial cries spouted so often by our own elected officials.
the Racial Card game is OVER. Fold up the table.
Lets go back to the old way, not calling names and just getting along with other folks.
This race baiting little puke can stick it in his ear or the orifice of his choice. We’re quickly moving toward a time when people simply won’t care if they are considered racist.
If anything, race relations are going backwards and it seems to be picking up speed in that direction. I’m getting sick of hearing “racism” from the race who claims they can’t be racist.
They always accuse others of what they, themselves, are guilty of. They should just Shut the heck up!
I wonder how long before we see a $70 billion trillion gazillion Reparation Bill?
He is a racist himself IMO.
Waiting for liberal posters to jump in with any or all of the following:
“You did it, too!”
Complete non sequitur
“Explanation” of what was said
5…4…3…2…1
Obviously we haven’t yet paid enough…jus’ ax rev wright, I think he’s running things now.
BINGO!!!
Socialists/statists/fascists live and breathe by projection, word-twisting, and spin, among other things.
There’s a good reason why Orwell is as pertinent and accurate today, as he was 60 years ago…if not more so.
Of course. How pathetic.
Hope you like being called “racist”, America, because that’s what you’re going to get for the next 4 years if current trends are any indication.
Let’s start a pool. My guess is they’ll start kicking it around Congress by Memorial Day and have a bill ready to sign by Labor Day.
Clyburn jumped the shark long ago.
Obama is my President!
So this guy is trying to pander to minorities and this GOP Governor is getting in his way? Didn’t the GOP Governor get the Obama Memo? I won. Which equates to a Democrat Free For All.
Mr Clyburn, did you vote for it because you dislike others??? – This crap is getting so old.
Not ready for primetime. It takes more than rhetoric and slogans to govern. Looks like Obamamania in already petering out. Honeymoon over!
Breaking news: conservative Congressmen accuse opponents of the Iraq war of TREEEEEEEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Care to source that?
Breaking News: lgm is such a DOOOOUUUUUCHE!!!!
So what Clyburn is trying to say is that the stimulus is for mostly blacks. Apparently, they aren’t capable in dealing with daily living and need the government. Is that what you’re saying, Mr. Clyburn? Seems to me that is what is being said. It’s racism to oppose this plan because it will benefit mostly black people. If there is a racist here, I suggest it is you, Mr. Clyburn.
Whatever happened to being judged by the content of our character and not by the color of our skin, as Martin Luther King said? I’d say it’s “gone with the wind”. Silly me, I thought that the election of the Mighty One, His majesty the king, Obama, was going to obliterate for all time any divisiveness left in the land of the free and the home of the brave…NOT.
Hello, lgm, its been 10 minutes, if you are going to spout off and make a comment like that, you better have a source, and if you do, it should not take 10 minutes to post it. Let’s go, let us see it.
I wonder what Representative James Clyburn
has to say about Thomas Sowell, Larry Elders, Bob Parks, Michael Steele, Star Parker, Bill Cosby and many others?
Judge a person by the content of his or her character, unless they are black and they have not denounced the non blacks!
PS-As you can see “Eric the terrorist pardoner”, this “coward” is unafraid of your anti-American insults.
What Clyburn was arguing is that home buyers weren’t the only ones guilty of abusing the system. Banks were guilty too so…(continued with puerile logic). His logic was incoherent and incomplete. Something about banks forcing buyers to borrow four-five times as much as they could afford.
Even if that is true (and it probably is), irrelevant. They bought houses they couldn’t afford then and can’t afford now. They should not end up owning them! Case closed.
Clyburn also stated that this was mainly a bank-created problem. Wrong. Banks were merely reacting to a bipartisan (there’s that troublesome word again, goes with “comprehensive”) government home-ownership mandate to sell homes to unqualified borrowers. Lenders merely figured out a way to make politicians happy without getting stuck with the risks which they passed on to others with “alternative investments”.
Oh, the pathology of weasels. Right out of “The Sopranos”.
Sheesh.
Hey LGM, I wish I could claim this as my own, but I shamelessly stole it from someone else on here.
Does it hurt to be so stupid?

Don’t forget that Clyburn is the one that sicced the media on Bill Clinton after he made his “fairy tale” remark about Obama.
P.S. to Connie Hair: Hey, CaL! Nice to see you. Lookin’ goooood!
If Holder is so concerned about racism I wonder why he is silent about Pro Life Pastor
Walter B. Hoye possibly going to jail for his abortion protest in Oakland?
There are some people you just want to shun. Every time they open their mouth the same thing comes out, again, and again. It’s so tiresome.
How many times do we have to listen the boy cry wolf or Chicken Little’s shrieking?
If I lock my door at night it’s because I’m racist. If I plug my space heater in the top plug instead of the bottom, I’m racist. If I turn my head and cough, I’m a racist because I turned the wrong way.
Honey, pass me another brewski, I’m staying in bed today. I wonder which side I’m supposed to sleep on that isn’t racist.
Gee MM, I only just cut and pasted and printed out your last Race Card pic last year and now you found a new issue? No wonder my card hasn’t done squat for me lately — it’s expired! Gee, I’m really missing out all those juicy nanny perks because I’m too cheap to pay any dues! Oh well, pardon me while I rip that pix since those cards are as good and solid as a Confederate dollar!

Clyburn is simply giving credence to the idea that Lord Barack the Dim’s porkulus bill is just 21st century reparations.
Waiting!
I can only hope that Texas does not accept any on these funds.
we’ve been paying reparations for 200 years. Now we call it welfare!
With people like Clyburn pontificating non-stop, they are creating a self-fulfilling prophesy. By the way, has he complained yet, that his title, Majority Whip is hurtful, and racist? What about the body for which he works? The House of Representatives. Isn’t he afraid he’ll be called a “house negro?”
Mr. Clyburn, why don’t you STFU and do your job!
This card is a little worn out. Do you think the party of the KKK should really be playing the race card?
BTW has the Democrat party ever apologized for the KKK, the Jim Crow laws. segregation, or lynching. Afterall the Democrats are the apology party.
Only a black racist could think such a stupid thought.
I thought I would leave you good folks something to chew on over night.
Anybody want to start a pool on where the first riots/protests/free speech rallies get started if BHO only gets the one term?
Of course it will be due to the racism in this country of cowards.
Chumps like this clown from SC will be right there along side Jesse Jackson, Rev Wright, that fat slob with bad hair Al Sharpton and other folks that are living off of the very prejudice they claim to be against.
Guaranteed the riots will happen.
I didn’t know that the U.S. has a black belt. Where, pray tell is the white belt? And the yellow, green, orange, red and brown belts that my son had to earn in karate????
*Clyburn is one of those individuals still stuck in the 50′s and 60′s; It will take the dying off of that generation for the black folks to begin looking inward for true salvation and stop seeking it from the government; It’s like continuing to give a drunk a drink; I pray they will hit bottom soon and decide once and for all to leave the liberal plantation for the betterment of their race.
*I can guarantee the American Dream for any young black individual, and it requires no stimulus; Just do these four things:
1)Finish High School
2)Stay away from drugs
3)Do not break any laws
4)Do not get pregnant or get anybody pregnant that you are not married to
*It’s really that simple.
Crying “Racism” has become a highly effective form of intimidation. It has worked for the past 40 years. It’s time to get out of the “victim” mode. It is very unbecoming and is unproductive. America needs every able-bodied person to contribute to its greatness, not sit around sucking the life out of her.
Clyburn’s learned from Colin Powell how to put race over logic and ethics. What’s the issue?
Don’t hold your breath, waiting for lgm to do anything other than poop and swoop, I have a theory that he’s into S & M, because he invariably gets a whole bunch of abuse and is silent for the rest of the thread, because, he’s, you know, ‘busy’.
bjc – you know that, I know that, all people who succeed in life know that. Unfortunately, the younger generation (race doesn’t matter) doesn’t care. If they don’t succeed the government will be there to bail them out. President BHO is backing this up with his actions.
House Majority Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina is now accusing whites who say they have fundamental misgivings about Obama’s environmental policies of continuing to breathe out carbon dioxide because they don’t like black people.
Clyburn is a relic who is using the race card to hang on, because it works with his constituancy.
So this is the “New Deal”….?
Thanks, Ed Mahmoud abu al-Kahoul (#13). That was well done satire.
But as a WASP, the Jessee Jacksons and Al Sharptons of this world already don’t consider me as deserving of breath, so I probably am not considered to have the right to say anything. (Maybe if I promise to keep paying my taxes on time….)
Representative James Clyburn needs to learn his Constitution and what states rights really are. (I am NOT making a positive reference to slavery or even the slightly milder Jim Crow–both of which I am so thankful to have missed.) Of course, since he was the one who put in the un-Constitutional provision in the Porkulous Bill, he’ll probably never know.
That is awesome!
Not only rascism but, no transparency…Hat Tip to Riehl World View :
WTF ?
SShh, don’t disturb lgm!
Sorry!
lol
Seems like race relations are going down indeed. I wonder if the race baiters will enforce seperate black graduations at universities and seperate areas in the dining areas? Whose fault is that race baiter? As for LGM would it be a miracle if he put up a source or answer questions, or does he still have no answers and only complaints of the ex-president?
Some of my best friends are math instructors.
“Breaking news: conservative Congressmen accuse opponents of the Iraq war of TREEEEEEEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!”
There are 2 things sad about that post.
1. LGM actually believes the two things are moral equivalent.
2. They were treasonous.
I just read about that Rat board, very interesting. It is now law that Obama can promote or nix internal federal investigations. Political enemies will be parsed out this way and political friends protected.
They grilled Alberto Gonzales for much less! Imagine if Bush had tried this!
It’s time to impeach Obama over this alone!
Canuck craziness….Hat Tip NYT :
Feel the love… Behind a glass enclosure…
Now there is no accountability, nor, transparency. All Hail the Messiah…
I’m thinking when the Canadians get a whiff of Obama’s protectionism and impact of wanting to rewrite NAFTA, they’ll be gathering in crowds for a very different reason than the one we see now.
I’ll say it over and over again:
We have treasonous members of Congress. Does anyone dispute this?
Do they uphold the Constitution?
I’m not so sure. I’m kind of surprised Jesse and Al haven’t shown up to support Burris since so many Democrats are now calling for his resignation.
For as fast and how many are doing so, it makes me think something is up and they want him out for some reason.
Then again, how much does it cost to get in on the pool?
We are only 30 days into this adminstration, and they have already done a monumental blitzkrieg. We have 3 years, 11 months to go.
Please forward this to Bristol.
I knew when we elected a black president that it would devolve into this kind of crap. I am so weary of all of it!! The president is a black liberationist. It is obvious when you look at the church he supported and attended for 20 years. He is also a socialist who wants to destroy our capitalist system and make us all pawns of the government. This is not suprising if only people had the gumption to find out a little bit about this creep. These stupid,racist jerks who want to make everything about race are just showing how racist they are…everything is about race to them. For God’s sake, stop it!!! The color of Barack’s skin has nothing to do with the fact that I despise everything he stands for!! He is a Chicago thug who wants to destroy this country. It has ZERO to do with his skin color. GEEZ!! I just want my country back.
southcoast, I am getting tired, where have you been? I do not think it needs to be forwarded to Bristal, she understands that she is not in position A and she will work to make her life the best she can, while her family helps as much as they can. She will not have 5 kids by 4 men and she will not be pumping them out as fast as she can so she can sit on her a$$ and suck off of the government teet!
Do you see the difference?
Clyburn is still mad at Sanford for not backing down to him when it comes to the affairs of South Carolina. Believe me. This was ALL about Gov. Sanford.
gads this is getting really old…another black yelling Racist…my answer to that accusation is PROVE IT.
Wow. Remember back over the last 8 years how many times surrendercrats demanded the IG of some agency look into some issue.
…and if the demand did not work, ol Nostrilitis Waxman would convene another investigation.
The sole reason for this Rat board is to allow malfeasance, fraud, waste and abuse to occur in favor of the protected.
I bet a great deal of IG investigations in most agencies have to deal with the agency spending federal money improperly.
Now, special people within the agency can permit all the fraud they want going to those they want it to go to, and nobody will know.
I’ve never been racist but I’m starting to feel like I should accomodate these fools and become one.
Hello O supporting Black Americans. Guess what? The descendants of every person on this planet endured some form of slavery throughout history. Get. Over. It. Next, you need to realize that B. Hussein doesn’t give a rats butt about you. He used his black half only to gain political power. How can you support someone who is so destructive to your own race? Abortion kills a third of your new population every year. When you add in black on black murder and your ever shrinking birth rate, you will always be a minority. I don’t think mexican and south american immigrants will feel sorry for you in a few years when they are the majority. Their gangs seem to do a good job of killing your young as well. Man I’m tired of this race crap. Oh the poor black victim… the gubment should take care of them. Oh but I’m just an angry privileged white male. That’s what you want to call me right? Angry? Absolutely!! Privileged? Maybe. I guess I’m privileged to fear shame if I were ever to need gubment assistance. I guess I’m privileged because I believe in hard work, integrity, responsibility, and I refuse to be a victim. Man what a great feeling it is to not feel shame because I’m white. I don’t feel sorry for you because you are black, I feel sorry for you because you are stupid.
just when you thought no one could surpass the stupidty summit, someone proves you wrong.
this slug went to college and majored in ignorance, it seems he graduated with honors.
I am already there. For all my life i have had to be a second rate citizen and treated different. All my life i have had to endure intolerance and injustice because of my race. I feel my constitutional rights have been infringed upon all my life. I have been unable to get special loans, educational opportunities, housing, or holidays to respect my heritage. I am tired of being treated this way. I am suppose to be judged by the content of my character not the color of my skin. We are all suppose to be equal.
I am a white male born and raised in the south who is tired of being treated like this. All this has been caused by AFFIRMATIVE ACTION !!
There was a time when the black community looked after itself and the people worked hard, and helped each other. I agree with Walter Williams and Cosby that the black neighborhoods once were safer than the other neighborhoods. Talking with seniors seems to reinforce that opinion. One elderly lady told me that they would watch all the kids. If a kid screwed up, it was okay to smack him/her even if the kid wasn’t her own (Green Valley, Arlington, Va.). And, they all admit that things were pretty good until Johnson and the democrats came along. The “war on poverty” has nearly destroyed them. Clyburn is in the club to keep them down, for his own political power. That’s the real racism.
Two points – One – He may be Black but he is in the House because he was elected by Black and WHITE people. Keep screaming “racist” every chance you get and see if you will be reelected. I, for one, am getting tired of being called a “racist” just because I happen to be born white.
Second point – I once hired a man who happened to be Black. I caught him “appropiating” money that belonged to the company and fired him. He claimed that I had fired him because he was “Black”. I shut him up when I asked one simple question – “where you Black when I hired you?”
These cartoon characters in the Race Baiting Industry are easily offended aren’t they? And they are good at it to tell the truth. We just saw Congressmen and former Black Panther, US Army deserter, convicted felon Bobby Rush back down Senator Harry Reid and the US Senate to help his fellow Victim Roland Burris to the vacated Senate seat of President Obama.
Generally there is not one good thing I could say about Bobby Rush but he is good at being a shakedown thug. There is money and power in that business and that is why it will not go away, not in our lifetime.
Our Attorney General Eric Holder plays the race card, President Obama certainly does, the Black Caucus IS a shakedown. Instead of getting better it is getting bigger-Hispanic Grievance, Asian, Pacific Islander, People with Disabilities and Hangnails all have Grievance committees.
Race DOES have an ugly history in this country and just about everywhere else. As for me all I can do is try to treat people with decency and respect. If they try to play the victim card I ask them how much time they spent in the packing sheds and fields and then I tell this to go away. Eric Holder can talk to himself.
I sincerely hope no one is surprised by these kinds of statements from black politicians. They aren’t going to stop making them. They will probably get more frequent and more shrill.
Unfortunately, Clyburn’s attitude is mirrored by a lot of his Democratic constituents here in SC. Not all, but a lot.
I was not aware that the South had a black belt. If that’s true, they should have been able to kick the Norths ass in the civil war. Hell! I didn’t even know the South took Karate lessons.
this was my point of yesterday’s holder thread. say anything negative about anything black, and you are a racist and maybe a hate crime criminal. so white america just keeps quiet, and moves farther away from the ghetto.
Actually, even if the treason accusation was made, at least it’s logial (overly aggressive, but logical).
A racism charge for opposing the stimulus ISN’T EVEN LOGICAL.
so another racist uttering out of this racist; more blacks kill whites per year than whites kill blacks. more blacks assault whites per year than whites assault blacks. if you want to wind up as the victim of crime, hang around black neighborhoods. and lgm, my source is the fbi crime statistics.
When you make a living race-baiting, and that way of life is threatened, you speak up. That’s all Rep. Clyburn is doing.
He’s obviously gone through Al Sharpton’s easy “Race-Hustling For Dummies” program…probably has the disk queued up in his Blu-Ray right now.
Let’s see now, Representative James Clyburn and his cronies ram a piece of legislation down our throats and that is no problem with them. Then, someone has the audacity to question their combined genuis, now that is a BIG PROBLEM. Hey, Representative James Clyburn, shouldn’t you be about your business of wrecking our nation?
.
Holder clearly has some major racist issues. An African American POTUS and Attorney General, what a racist AmeriKKKa we live in.
We should talk more about race. Like it’s so incredible to have a ‘Man of Color’ as President here in America. Now, so much more is possible. I’m sure someday even ‘sophisticated’ and ‘more advanced’ countries, like those in Europe will get beyond their deeper-seated racism and bigotry and do the same thing.
This will all help more people see that it is the politics of politicians, not their races, or their genders, that more helps or hurts the citizenry.
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
NEVER ELECT a woman
OR a minority
if they are Right of center
.
Clyburn can take his racist poverty-pimping trash and kiss my white a**. What a SOB! This is insulting to both whites and blacks. It’s silence over garbage like this why we don’t have honest dealing with race and the racial/ethnic divide remain as wide as ever among Americans. Are there any black groups denouncing his comments?
Racism… again?
Yawn.
I thought lefties were supposed to be the creative ones.
