CNN's Soledad O'Brien teed up Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) to pick out the "code words" in GOP opposition to Susan Rice's nomination to Secretary of State, on Tuesday morning's Starting Point.
"Would you agree with what she's saying that there's a racial or a sexist component to a lot of these comments?" O'Brien asked, quoting the incoming chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). "Or would you say as the letter seems to say, they use the word 'incompetent,' and they use the word undermining the desire to improve U.S. relations?"
Clyburn, himself a member of the CBC, obliged and said the criticism was racially-coded. "You know, these are code words," he insisted. "During this recent campaign we heard Senator Sununu calling our President 'lazy,' 'incompetent,' these kinds of terms that those of us, especially those of us who had grown and raised in the south, we would hear these little words and phrases all of our lives and we'd get insulted by them."
yup equality should be for anything goes but how strange the homosexuals oppose other kinds of marriage but shout equality, one would think they’re just hypocritical and it;s all about them.
Oh wait.

I think her refusal to identify, by name, Marcia Fudge is racial code-talking.
People believe this crap because it is easy. And the United States is all about easy. Black people can hide behind their skin color and Susan Rice can hide behind her vagina. That’s all it is. When will the GOP call them on it? Never...
1. Racists should be shot.
2. Anyone making accusations of racism without proof should be shot.
If the "crime" of racism is going to be held as heinous, then unfounded accustions of it should be no less so.
Aren’t we all “people of color”? I’ve yet to meet a person who didn’t have color. Whites, blacks, Latinos, Asians, and every other person has color.
Two words: Condolezza Rice
I don’t recall any Republicans opposing her on racist grounds.
All of this is very true but not important to those who like their free ice cream. If acting on the facts will result in eliminating the ice cream vendor, those who like their free ice cream don’t want to be bothered with the facts. We have lost our Republic - politicians know how to bribe the public with the public’s money. We have lost our democracy because the people have found the keys to our public treasury. We have lost America, in large part, because conservatives do not vote.
Me neither. I thought it was about what she said about Benghazi.
I never knew she was black until I read the Democrats saying criticism of her was racist.
Me neither. 99% of the country (including libs) probably didn’t know she was black until the race peddlers started screeching like banshees.
I thought it was about what she said about Benghazi.
Me too, until the race peddlers and Pravda USA set us straight. ‘Incompetent’ is racist code speak. So I guess there are no incompetent blacks in the US. Zero.
