In her response to the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 19 others in Arizona, Sarah Palin criticized journalists for manufacturing a "blood libel" against her. On a radio program this morning, Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-SC) said that the former Alaska Governor "just can't seem to get it."
"You know, Sarah Palin just can't seem to get it, on any front. I think she's an attractive person, she is articulate," Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show, according to The Hill. "But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what's going on here."
Clyburn said that his experiences in the Civil Rights Era gives him a different understanding of the relationship between rhetoric and action, and says what he sees and hears today reminds him of what he heard back then.
"I have some experiences that maybe she does not have," he said. "When I see and hear things today that are reminiscent of that period of time, I am very, very concerned about it, because I know what it led to back then, and I know what it can lead to again."
Trust me, she knows the destructive power of communism.
Well, obviously! She didn’t get an advanced degree from Harvard, so what could she possibly know?
More proof that the Left is a group of useful idiots.
Mr Clyburn, we measured the sanity of your recent statements and we’re sorry to inform you that they measured 4.5 MegaJareds.
Clyburn doesn’t have the intellect the Good Lord gave a turnip.
Useful to the Left maybe, to us....useLESS idiots
For Clyburn to even think of calling anyone intellectually stunted is, well I risk saying it, the pot calling the kettle black.
I dont think Clyburn went to Hardvard either and if he did it would have been due to affirmative action just like our current president. We all know whats going on Clyburn that is why we want you out of office.
Clyburn's got nothing without race and come to think of it he's got nothing there either.
The idea that a dim bulb like Clyburn is credentialed to speak about Palin’s intellectual credentials is risible.
I doubt Clyburn received a high school diploma.
Alan Dershowitz Defends Palin on Blood Libel

In a statement to BigGovernment.com:
The term blood libel has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People, its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.
It is obvious he did not read her column.
Hey Clybum, you are apparently not intellectually capable of understanding what happened in the last November election. Nor are you capable of understanding how Pelosi just made you the House n*gger.
the congressman can recognizes the voices because they’ve come from the democrat party each time.
This from a Man, who believes that government spending can pull the nation out of recession and sounds like he escaped the plantation yesterday.
It’s obvious these RAT useful idiots still haven’t realized that they lost on November 2nd. They were rejected by We The People.
