Just like we all told everyone during the election. If the dems, with C hairman Obama, gain control of all 3 branches of government, any and all opposition to them will be termed racism and political diversity will be criminalized.

Crazily radical were'nt we! Never dreamed this could happen in this country but I reckon I was naive.

What he said is ridiculous and he knows it. It is also very irresponsible for any media outlet to give him a platform to spew his nonsense without critque.He doesn't need the Governor to distribute those funds because he made sure.He inserted it himself.

"If funds provided to any state in any division of this act are not
accepted for use by the governor, then acceptance by the state
legislature, by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, shall
be sufficient to provide funding to such state."

Race baiting pure and simple.It's how Democrats roll me homey.

Because with a name like Obama... you know it has to be good.

Clyburn is a real piece of work.

I detest what he did to strangle Sanford.

I posted earlier this week somewhere about it.

I despise the left and their tactics.

...I also am sick of the left like Slyburn and the msm using race to cow the repubs, heck all of us if we disagree with anything someone of color says...this is getting beyond disgusting.

remember:  targeted, temporary, and timely

The Stimulus is NONE of those....especially Temporary.

Once you get the states and the recipients hooked, it's over.  they will NEVER get give it up.

any responsible governor would consider following Jindal and refusing the free junk as a means to avoiding becomming dependent on the Feds for a fix.

Ah shut up ya crybaby.

For eight years we heard nothing but denigration and "opposition to the plan" and never whined about it. You libs have done more whining in the last three weeks than a three-year-old does in a year. GROW-UP!

If you're going to play the race card over everything, especially when this is so obviously a difference of opinion on economic policy and has nothing to do with race, then you forfeit the right to call anyone cowards about race.

BUT, you might argue, Clyburn and Holder may both be black, but that doesn't mean they're coordinating their statements. It may be that one black has one view, and another black has another. To which I reply: EXACTLY! You can't lump them both together just because of race - that's what prejudice is.

And, therefore, if you don't want me to be prejudiced and lump blacks together on account of race, then I demand the same courtesy in return. Clyburn has no right to throw around charges of prejudice, based on his own prejudiced assumptions that whites must be rejecting the stimulus on account of race.

Let Clyburn know ... race cards can be trumped.

No, no, no, no, no.. Republican Opposition to the Stimulus Bill was a popular position - it supported the majority view of the American people - we the people. It was not racist.

Numerous national polls (CBS, Gallop, Rasmussen, etc.) leading up to the vote clearly showed that a majority (and a strong majority on some issues) of voters did not support the bills as presented; that they preferred less spending (pork - pork it Schumer) and wanted more stimulus in the form of more tax relief.

The Republicans supported the majority view of the people. They were the populist movement on this one -- if only they understood that, and could learn how to speak.  

Well, he is at least consistent.  Conservatives don't believe in spending money wastefully or needlessly.  Liberals believe any program can be successful if one spends enough money.  So the rationalization for liberals to create the non racist society: if spending money is egalitarian and then not spending money is racist.  I seem to remember another person, was it Reich that made essentially the same charge?  

Any wonder why Democrats are known to be the tax and spend Party? In their morality, self righteousness is good and spending money earns them their righteousness, even if it isn't their money as long as they are making the decisions.  I can see the attraction by libs in buying Carbon Credits.  I would call it moral bankruptcy myself.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.

I would like to interject just a little truth here. Bobby Jindal (Whose Parents are from India but was born in the US) Govenor of Louisiana did not say he would not take the Stimulus Money. He said that the State would not take the money until all the strings attached could be evaluated. He was worried that taking the money would actually end up costing Louisiana more than it would recieve which would be a disservice to the Taxpayers in Louisiana. There is nothing he can do about the increased tax burden that this bill has already put on all of us. He is just doing his job trying to protect the intrest of the citizens of Louisiana. If after the review, which will take some time as the implications of all that is included in this is understood, if they find it benifits Louisiana the state will probably take some or all of the funds. As a citizen and a supporter of Bobby Jindal I am in total agreement. We are all on the hook for this bill but if taking the money we suddenly find that we in this state actually have to come up with more state money I say pass it by. Jindal has already made huge cuts in the State Budget due to decreased tax revenues. We are doing our jobs here, I wish the rest of the country would do thiers.

I wonder if any of these black politicians, who love to blame whites for slavery, actually know the history of slavery in this country? I wonder if they know that more than 300,000 black men fought for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War? I wonder if they know that there were thousands of black slave owners in the South during the 1800s? I wonder if they know how easy it is to find this information?

Do these black politicians practice race baiting? Yes. Do they continue to play the victim? Yes. Contrary to Representative Clyburn's statement that the Governors of Mississippi, Texas, South Carolina, and Louisiana opposition to the porkulus bill was a slap in the face to all African-Americans and that he was insulted, the only person who insulted the African-American community was the representative himself. These people need to the give playing the race card a rest.

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.

South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn is a RASCIST and undoubtedly would not hold his elected office if he were not an African-American.  I have seldom if ever heard anything that has come out of his mouth that did not define an issue in terms of race.

Blacks and/or African-Americans are just as capable of being rascists as any member of the KKK.

It's time to get on with other things.

Tbey cannot change their behavior, given that they now really are the Obama New York Times.

Note to Clyburn:  Govenors have an obligation to represent all the people of his/her state. Showing favor of only African-Americans would be racist.

1) What is the "Black Belt?"

2) Louisiana has the 10th highest Black population of the 50 states.

Just another Coward?race Baiting/hustler.
