Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the third-ranking House Democrat, on Wednesday accused the U.S. media of spreading "manufactured controversies" that pose dangers similar to the propaganda spread by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Speaking to Sirius XM, Clyburn accused the modern Internet-based media of misrepresenting the statements of people in order to hurt their reputations. "You have people´s words and phrases being misrepresented and looped through the news media and thrown out there on the Internet, and people run with it because these things start getting reported in the mainstream media, and before you know it, people believe that stuff," Clyburn

I think he & his staff were the ones that don’t know the zip codes in his district. He put an earmark in for a library for a town in his district, but they used a zip for a same-name town that I don’t think was even East of the Mississippi, let alone his district or even SC for that matter.

He is right about that, but it is his guys that are doing it.

Clyburn is the kind of career politician who inspires those who want term limits for politicians. Mark Levin covers this in his book, THE LIBERTY AMENDMENTS: RESTORING THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. I am on page 52 of this great book and I can highly recommend it already.

Sorry, but anyone who pays any attention to Clyburn gets what they ask for. The man is a joke and if it weren’t for the districts that elect him he would be sweeping floors.

This certified IDIOT owns the 6th Congressional District in South Carolina. The 6th possesses strange paranormal powers. It engulfed my MIL’s house but not the houses on the other side of the street. My house was sucked into its maw when that year’s ballot showed I could either vote for Clyburn or write in my own candidate (I had been voting for Joe Wilson).

So I wrote in Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Of course, they learned from the best, the Democrat broadcast media.

With a significant difference being, Goebbels & Co. admitted that what they were doing was ‘propaganda.’ That’s what they themselves called it.

The American propagandists can’t even be honest with themselves as to what they do. This makes them (drumroll plz) worse than the Nazis.

Clyburn is like a stopped calendar. Correct about once a year.

This Democrat could be said to “look like Obama’s father” - but how would anyone know if that were true?

Like Obama, he is black, communism infected, a glib liar, opportunistic, ad nauseam.

He could be . . . .
