"Clyburn: Obama's 'problems are in large measure because of the color of his skin'"

No growth, an ever-expanding federal Leviathan, a diminution of individual liberty, crony capitalism, high unemployment, profligate spending, and a disjointed foreign policy that seems to favor framing events after they’ve happened? All black things, I guess.

Making my pointing out that the employment rate among black men is at a record low under this administration akin to donning my hood for a kind of rhetorical lynching.

  1. Clyburn’s wrong. I’ve just been digging through my Crayola’s and there is no “asshole”. There’s a “green-blue” and a “blue-green” for some reason, but no “asshole”. Must be in the White House.

  2. Jeff G. says:

    I apologize in advance for my racism. In my defense, I’ve been reared on the coded language of states rights, a colorblind society, and equality of opportunity. So is it really any wonder how I wound up hating dark skin so very very much?

  3. If having a black president doesn’t show the world what a bunch of ugly racists America is, then I don’t know what would. Oprah’s checkbook?

  4. Squid says:

    Narcissism, shallow thinking, inability to foresee likely effects of actions, arrogance, need for power and control, short temper, ignorance of history, ignorance of world culture, ignorance of protocol, ignorance of economics, vindictiveness, thin skin, and the inability to formulate an argument without a teleprompter.

    These are among the many things that Mr. Clyburn believes are linked to skin color. Poor racist bastard. No wonder he went into politics — he must be so self-loathing to begin with that living as a politician really isn’t any worse.

  5. Spiny Norman says:

    Would noting that Representative Clyburn appears to be blinded by his own prejudices make me a racist, too?

  6. geoffb says:

    How about the ‘“green” and “black”‘ crayon?

  7. Bob Reed says:

    Dude! I’ll never figure these lefties out. To start, one would think someone like Clyburn would be able to discriminate (SWIDT) between actual racism and the phony-baloney self-serving apologistic kind; since he actually experienced the tail end of institutional racism in the south.

    And having lived it, one would think that he’d be reluctant to go all, “boy who cried wolf”, with it so as not to dilute the toxicity of the accusation.

    But he, like most of the rest of the identity politics crew, have gotten so used to using like a nuclear option, to immediately shut off debate and shut down their opponents, that they cavalierly go to that well far too many times.

    Which, the well too many times thing being a wisdom that a 70year old man would have come by in his life…

    And worse for them yet, folks are seeing through this, and are getting tired of being called racists for having political differences with the President; like they’ve been able to have with any other…

    And the Dems will suffer for using enjoying the cover provided by smearing all opponents of Democrat policy as racists.

  8. R. Sherman says:

    So the fact that over the last 3 years my self-employment which happens to support 5 other families in addition to my own, and which has decreased about 40% during said 3 years, is my own damn fault, thanks to my racism? Who knew?

    Now that I think about it, I’d much rather have less money and swim in the irrational hatred than otherwise.

  9. eleven says:

    I just lynched a Sharpie(TM). You know what color it was.

    Actually I’m pretty fucking racist against Nancy Fucking Pelosi too. And Harry Fucking Reid.

  10. JHoward says:

    So is it really any wonder how I wound up hating dark skin so very very much?

    I hear that can be treated now, JG. Although it’s sure to take months and at the end of it they hang a big yoke around your neck with chains, just to equalize things. You know, insurance.

    Which leads me to the thing there’s never going to be a treatment for: Seeing inferiors all around yourself and then building them evil, failed federal programs you can’t help but notice keep them down for generations.

    No, that racialist sumbich is some golden religion. And we can all take states rights, a colorblind society, and equality of opportunity and shove them up our ass.

  11. Abe Froman says:

    I don’t even see Obama as black. He’s a white dork with dark skin. I mean, seriously, have you ever seen a black dude who has a long history of playing basketball yet still can’t dribble with his weak hand?

  12. Nolanimrod says:

    Funny. Clyburn said the exact same thing when it was pointed out that Franklin Delano Raines (no, I am not being droll) had played find the pea with Fannie Mae’s books so he could collect a few – or 20, or 30 – million in bonuses.

    The exact same thing. How odd.

  13. Spiny Norman says:

    I believe it was $90 million.

  14. cranky-d says:

    boy who cried wolf

    RAAAAACIST!

  15. Silver Whistle says:

    My problem with Barack Obama isn’t that he’s black…

    …My problem with Barack Obama is that he’s a white liberal.

  16. McGehee says:

    Only the black half is liberal. The white half lurves him the dirty socialisms.

  17. Pablo says:

    Sorry, I’m not taking social advice from a guy who named his nitwit daughter after a steak.

  18. Abe Froman says:

    T-Bone Clyburn?

  19. mojo says:

    Race Card: Overdrawn

  20. Jim in KC says:

    Sorry, I’m not taking social advice from a guy who named his nitwit daughter after a steak.

    Porterhouse Clyburn?

  21. Bob Reed says:

    I don’t even see Obama as black. He’s a white dork with dark skin.

    Abe,
    If you can stomach paying attention to their rhetoric, Obama is basically John Edwards with a tan and the ability to keep from diddling the staff; although, rumors abound.

    Somehow all of Edwards fail-licious policy ideas are magically transformed into the salvation of America through Obama’s identity politics driven absolute moral authority.

    Really, that’s what I said throughtout the Dem primaries in 2007-2008.

  22. Slartibartfast says:

    I think that New York Strip Clyburn would not be the best name for a daughter.

    Or maybe it was Porterhouse Clyburn? That sounds more like a boy’s name.

  23. alppuccino says:

    Clyburn just says that because he hates all white people…….because he’s black.

  24. Jim in KC says:

    Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that the MSM publicizes this type of nonsensical braying endlessly up to and through the campaign, and that the Republicans know how to take advantage of it.

    By now, it’s clear to everyone that President Dipstick is a moron, and blaming racism for his failures just makes everyone laugh.

  25. guinsPen says:

    Tube Clyburn.

  26. A fine scotch says:

    Dammit, guins! Do you know 1) how much the nut in a banana nut muffin hurts when it gets stuck in the nose? and 2) how hard it is to explain to co-workers how said nut got into the nasal passage?

  27. Spiny Norman says:

    Holy crap! Pablo’s not kidding!

    o_O

  28. It takes a cruel man to name his daughter Tuna.

  29. JD says:

    Mignon?!?!?!?! WTF ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  30. shari.hodges says:

    I heard that. I grew up in South Central Los Angeles, went to college with the Black Panthers and Angela Davis – so when it comes to knowing all thing Black, been there done that. My parents were Scandanavian. I really stood out in the hood. I can tell the difference between civil rights, and bullshit. Don’t apologize. Obama’s administration is like a panhandler that lives in Penthouse.

  31. LBascom says:

    “Obama is basically John Edwards with a tan and the ability to keep from diddling the staff; although, rumors abound.”

    I have heard no rumors. What rumors?

  32. Bob Reed says:

    Lee,
    I was referring to allegations that Obama had an affair with one Vera Baker, a former aid of his.

  33. JD says:

    ZOMFGBBQ you RACISTS !!!!!!!!

  34. Pablo says:

    Holy crap! Pablo’s not kidding!

    And these people are in charge of stuff. Our stuff. Scary, ain’t it?

  35. Spiny Norman says:

    That makes it even worse. Nepotism, it’s the Chicago Way.

  36. Ella says:

    Bob, I thought he was talking about Kal Pen who left “House” to be …. some kind of entertainment czar? Or something? He had more meetings with the Prez than the security guys and had an office in the same hallway as the Oval office (when no a single cabinet secretary did). NTTAWWT.

  37. LBascom says:

    “I was referring to allegations that Obama had an affair with one Vera Baker, a former aid of his.”

    Oh, missed that one Bob.

    We have a leader with a backbone like a ramrod and now – now – the real Barack Obama, the president who inherited the most god-awful circumstance any president has inherited, is coming into sharp focus.” – Joe Biden

  40. Mueller says:

    Is asshole a race now?
    ’cause if it is, I’m due some of that sweet,sweet entitlement money.
    Win!

  41. Spiny Norman says:

    geoffb,

    Do you realize you could take the most idiotic comments you could find and put Joe Biden’s name after it and no one would bat an eye?

  42. Caecus Caesar says:

    Omission corrected:

    Lynn Sweet is a columnist and the Washington Bureau Chief Obamapologist for the Chicago Sun-Times.

    The house organ regrets the neglection.

  43. Dave in SoCal says:

    “I have always abhorred the word ‘racism,’ ” Clyburn said in the letter. “I never use it. I believe it is a lethal term, and I am offended that my honest responses to a reporter’s clearly designed agenda would be distorted in such a manner.”

    How dare you imply that me saying “Obama’s problems are in large measure because of the color of his skin” is somehow accusing people of racism?

    This man is a certified moron and thinks that we all are too. He’s like a toddler who thinks that by covering his eyes, he can’t see you so therefore you can’t see him either.

    Delicious misspellings #464:

    When I was still a young man in Charleston, before I first ran for office in 1970, I had a conversation with Rowenia Tobias, a very well-heeled white woman from an old Charleston family. In that conversation, she advised me that Charlestonians could never get past the issue of race, because they weren’t willing to talk about it. Mrs. Tobias made me promise her that I would never stop talking about the issue of race, and I believe I have held true to that promise.

    There are people I know who don’t have a prejudiced bone in their body, but think consciously about race. We can never solve the issue of race if we aren’t willing to discuss it openly and honestly. We dampen any efforts to transcend race by making it a lightening rod (sic)

  45. guinsPen says:

    Dear Mr. Goldstein,

    I know you’re not running for office, but please promise me you’ll never stop talking about whatever the hell it is you’re talking about.

    Yours in transcendence,

    &c.
