Seventy-year-old Democrat James Clyburn has been the U.S. Representative for South Carolina’s 6th congressional district since 1993. He also has served as House Majority Whip since 2007, making him the third-ranking Democrat in the House behind Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. When the new Congress convenes in January 2011, Clyburn will retain a #3 leadership position – “Assistant Minority Leader” – among the now-minority Democrats. As one of the most influential political figures in the country, he merits the closest scrutiny of the American people – particularly in light of the fact that his politics are those of Democratic Party orthodoxy writ large.
A member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Clyburn, in the longstanding tradition of the CBC and the political Left, has cultivated an uncanny ability to spot white racists lurking menacingly around virtually every corner. For instance, when former President Bill Clinton likened Barack Obama’s 2008 Democratic primary victory in South Carolina to then-candidate Jesse Jackson’s primary victory there twenty years earlier, Clyburn concluded that Clinton’s remarks were embedded with a racist intent to diminish Obama’s achievement. “When he [Clinton] was going through his impeachment problems, it was the black community that bellied up to the bar,” said Clyburn. “I think black folks feel strongly that that this is a strange way for President Clinton to show his appreciation.”
When South Carolina’s Republican governor Mark Sanford formally rejected federal earmarks for his state early last year, Clyburn alleged that Sanford was a racially insensitive elitist: “He [Sanford] happens to be a millionaire. He may not need help for the plantation his family owns, but the people whose grandparents and great-grandparents worked those plantations need the help.”

Clyburn is a clymer. Clinton was the first “black” president. He carried a lot of baggage but by very definition he could not have been a racist!
Clyburn willingly went to the back of the bus to make room for a rich whitey. He deserves nothing but scorn, ridicule and disrespect for not even putting up a fight.
which is all that is necessary to justify expropration and redistribution by force and violation of rights, according to libtardism.
This ‘new position’ was a totally made-up position done by Nancy Pelosi. Taxpayers get to pay for all this jerk’s perks.
Not to be out-gunned, Harry Reid did something similar in the Senate.
Power certainly has gone to their heads, hasn’t it?
2012 should be great fun.
My office phone is identical to Clyburn’s with the exception of the area code. Mine 212, his 202.

Figures.

He’s a RAT.To expect anything resembling decency or morality from a current day RAT is the height of folly.
My goodness...do you realize what a gold mine these messages could prove to be? You've gotta get in touch with Fox News,the NY Post and the Washington Times! I'm as serious as a heart attack!!
