The story is that, though he is the Whip, he actually left the floor (to attend his daughter’s wedding) and never voted for the final package when it passed the House.

Isn’t it ironic? Pelosi and Reid control the future of all 50 states but we can’t fire them?

Clyburn: Opposing the stimulus is racist or something

This clown of a congressman would best serve his state, by worrying about his state. BTW clownster, like it or not, the people of the United States gave every right to question, and/or oppose anything that’s passed as law in Washington.

One other thing idiot, get rid of the hyphenation BS. Because, I can’t seem to find it anywhere in the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold.

So Clyburn…yeah buddy…I’m not with you on this one. Just replace “black people” with “working class” or “poor” or “recently unemployed” people and not only do you avoid stupid race baiting…but you’re actually right. More than just black people will benefit from this. Stupid.

“…Louisiana…(h)as the highest African-American population in the country…Mississippi…Texas…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…”

…I wasn’t paying too much attention during the whole debate over this so-called stimulus package. Was it being sold as a “black bailout” or something? Does this…a’hem…legislator somehow think that the federal government should naturally spend itself into penury to benefit his racial constituency?

…more to the point, what do you call someone who anchors all his logic in race? Raaaaaaaaaacist, perhaps?

…for all those of you who’ve bought that week-old halibut about “black people can’t be racist”, take a long, hard look at this guy. He fits the bill….

This is, without a doubt, the best correction of the week. Okay, the month. Aw, hell, I’ll say it: Best. Correction. Ever. From the Huffington Post:

huffpo gibson scrotum.jpg

Huffpo had posted what appeared to be a video of Fox News’s John Gibson jokingly referring to Attorney General Eric Holder as a monkey with a “bright blue scrotum.” That last bit is a reference to an unrelated news story about a Debrazza monkey that escaped from a zoo in Seattle.

Again, leave it to the KKK Democrat socialist rainbow coalition to barrage the world with racial antics, while of course pointing the false finger of blame at Conservatives.

Thanks to Drudge for the good LOL headline.

Raaaacccciiiiiissssttt. You said rope.

If you want dumb, Marcy Kaptur (D/UAW-OH) will give Clyburn and Murray a run for your money.

Because that’s the whole point of this idiotic discussion Eric Holder wants us to have.

To elevate black Democrats above everyone else and to give them a “get out of jail free” card when they lie, cheat and steal.

Checkmate.

The first of Lincoln’s two most oft-noted achievements was ending the abomination of slavery. There is little doubt that Lincoln abhorred slavery, but likewise little doubt that he held racist views toward blacks. His own words undermine his hallowed status as the Great Emancipator.

For example, in his fourth debate with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln argued: “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races — that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

Lincoln declared, “What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races…”

In 1860, Lincoln’s racial views were explicit in these words: “I think I would go for enslaving the black man, in preference to being enslaved myself. … They say that between the nigger and the crocodile they go for the nigger. The proportion, therefore, is, that as the crocodile to the nigger so is the nigger to the white man.”

I saw these quotes in High School in 1977. After the war, Lincoln also set aside $500,000 (a Lordly sum in those day’s where $20.00 was a nearly an ounce of Gold) to pay ship passage to ship Blacks back to Africa. Then he was assassinated.

Anyway, if you want a great laugh check out the message that John Wiley Price has for you about race. Note: this is a real video and links directly to his website.
