A Mississippi Democratic Congressman says Clarence Thomas is an “Uncle Tom,” Mitch McConnell is a “racist,” and that Republicans are only anti-big government and anti-Obamacare because President Obama is black. Rep. Bennie Thompson was appearing on a New Nation of Islam radio program over weekend where he made the comments.
“I’ve been in Washington. I saw three presidents now. I never saw George Bush treated like this. I never saw Bill Clinton treated like this with such disrespect,” Thompson said. “That Mitch McConnell would have the audacity to tell the president of the United States — not the chief executive, but the commander-in-chief — that ‘I don’t care what you come up with we’re going to be against it.’ Now if that’s not a racist statement I don’t know what is.”
Thompson adds at 2:40 in the video that the governor of Mississippi was against expanding Medicaid through Obamacare “just because a black man created it.”
At 3:00 into the video, Thompson adds opposition to Obama is “all about race” and “when a black man comes with an idea [for Obamacare] there’s something wrong with it. Again, it’s race creeping into the picture.”
At 4:47 in the video says the anti-government attitude has only been around since Obama was president.

He calls Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an “Uncle Tom” and Mitch McConnell a “racist.”
Yawn.
I’m so tired of these race-baiting douchebags.
So when you disagree with white sociologist what is it ?
(I crack myself up!)
A lie
Can they make him sell his basketball team?
What more should we expect from these clowns and you will see more of this as 2013 drags on as the Democrats have chosen to run on race for this years mid-term election.
There was a relentless attack by the Left on both Bush and Reagan on a daily basis. This guy has a very selective memory.
I’m sure Boehner will sanction him for his bigotry.
Sterling is part of a group of rich and powerful men (and women) who think they are above the 'little people'.
Kind of like our secretary of state who referred to Israel as an 'apartheid state'. The difference is that he doesn't have to pay the price for his bigotry. Unlike Sterling who does nothing but pay for basketball players to run up and down the court, Kerry's words have the power to get innocent people killed.
I’m sure the bro’ s will make a nice contribution to the L.A NAACP,since they can’t shakedown Sterling!
Agree.
Careful - you can get kicked out of the NBA for life for saying stuff like that.
They’re looking at defeat in November. It’s all they have. Ever work with lab rats? It’s like when a rat’s only defense is to piss on you when you hold him by the tail.
it’s so obvious that the demorats are using the Rules for Radicals play book.
What a hypocrite
Didn’t anyone tell Thompson that he is only protected from libel when he is on the House floor?
