CellaRaine, Actually I believe Clyburn is not racist. Obviously though, he believes black people are inferior to whites because he keeps requesting handouts for them. I suspect this is because he figures they are not capable of looking after themselves or don't understand birth control. We all really know he just wants all the money for them so he can keep getting re-elected because if he truly cared I think he would want the voucher program which would support school choice like someone pointed out in an earlier comment.

My paralegals live in Clyburn's district. I used to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now we know he is a race warlord. Scumbag. Go Sanford!

To Jackyl: It not surprising that you would say something like that and to be clear --- HE WAS ELECTED BY THE 6TH DISTRICT TO REPRESENT THE 6TH DISTRICT - that is what they DO in the House of Representative - The two SENATORS REPRESENT THE STATE IN D.C. Please tell me how is he a racist? When Neil and Rush say something they think is truthful is that racist or just a statement? --- To James: I am sorry you feel that way but how do you know that you were more qualified than a minority that was admitted over you? As a resident of the district and the state and a graduate of a University in South Carolina, I had to apply to a lot of schools and I had to work really hard to get there and stay there. From what I remember, I had to complete my assignment correctly and on time to keep up my gpa ... A professor never gave me any handouts with my grades. I happen to think that what is wrong with the politics today is what is the "extreme conservative ideology" that some republicans are holding on to and the hypocrisy that accompanies it. Guess what? America is not buying it anymore. I have worked since I was sixteen years old not stop, sometimes 2 or even 3 jobs to get pay for school and the things I have now. My parents and grandparents all have ALWAYS worked hard and taught us that WE HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR WHAT WE WANT as well and that what my entire family has done. Now I find myself living in a state with a governor only cares about himself, not the people of this state. This governor decided that he was going to play "chicken" with money that belongs to the people --- not the state. People who work pay unemployment insurance and when they lose their jobs they get a payment back for what they paid into the system. Are you all telling me with the unemployment rate as high as it is and jobs being lost after decades of work being put into companies that NOW was the time to GRANDSTAND? Seriously, it is a shame and it is sad, to stand on the backs of the people of this state to position yourself as a leader in a party that obviously doesn't get it and unfortunately you don't either. So I guess that only thing you have left is to pull this race thing only in reverse. I guess whatever gets you through the night.

I do live in South Carolina and have my entire life. While I don't always agree with Governor Sanford, I can tell you that I have never agreed with Jim Clyburn. He is nothing but a racist and his election is the result of gerrymandering. He would never have been elected if his district was not drawn for the sole purpose of electing a black official.

Right on Julio! It's what people do when they have nothing else to justify their "outrage". Media whores.

Its coming folks, I can't say when, but I can say; THE RACE WAR IN AMERICA IS ON IT'S.
As long as the "RACE PIMPS" in this country keep pushing the race card people will be growing more in-tolerant of those pushing the race card.

Calling someone a racist or tossing the race card is now officially the last refuge of a scoundrel.

On July 31, 2007, Clyburn said in a broadcast interview that it would be a "real big problem" for the Democratic party if General Petraeus issued a positive report in September. He is a race warload to me who is only interested in Black America.
