Oh Snap. Clyburn May Make Endorsement. Disappointed by Clintons

11 Jan 2008 Author: Baratunde Thurston (Jack Turner)

Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress, said he was rethinking his neutral stance in his state’s presidential primary out of disappointment at comments by Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton that he saw as diminishing the historic role of civil rights activists.
Mr. Clyburn, a veteran of the civil rights movement and a power in state Democratic politics, put himself on the sidelines more than a year ago to help secure an early primary for South Carolina, saying he wanted to encourage all candidates to take part. But he said recent remarks by the Clintons that he saw as distorting civil rights history could change his mind.

I’ve jokingly stated this on my blog, and left a comment on Field Negro’s but hear me out: as I have always considered the Clintons opposite sides of the same coin as the Bushes, is it outside of the realm of possibility that they have hired or taken playbook pages from Karl Rove? As stated, they put Dick Morris on the payroll back in 96 and that resulted in more scandal and the Lincoln bedroom being auctioned, plus all those pardons. I have seen Rove and even Pat Buchanan offer stout defenses of Hillary on TV and in print and I am scratching my head. I’d like to see more outrage (as is lacking re: the 4 girls found dead and decayed here in DC…murdered by their Mama…and the only outrage is misplace crap at the city government, which wasn’t truly responsible); indeed this Obama “backlash” and white female ascendant crap as united even my superstar “colleague” at Georgetown Mr. Dyson, and Bill Cosby! Perhaps the mass of our other okey-doke politicians and pastors (those pastors not following Huckabee and the other white nazis who hide behind Jesus) should consider showing some balls and endorse Obama. It might show Mr. Rove he doesn’t have all the answers…

If a GOP politician had done the PATTERN that we’ve been pointing out, Clyburn wouldn’t be on the sidelines anymore. PERIOD. You know. I know it. He knows it. He grew up in South Carolina…he knows which way is up.

Look at the slithering Karl Rove! Obama lazy, pickup basketball???
Karl Rove & his bag of tricks…again. He really really wants Hillary as the nominee so Republicans will come out in droves to vote against her!
The handwriting is on the wall!
They know if Obama wins the nomination….”A Change is gonna come”! (Sam Cooke)

You know I think the one thing that has been kind of played up as racial but wasn’t was Clinton’s fairy tale comment about Obama’s position on Iraq. I honestly think that’s misinterpreted. Wrong, but misinterpreted.

Jim Clyburn is one of the biggest Toms in the Amerikkkan Congress!I’d bet my last dollar that he will not endorse Obama.The Clintons bribed most of the black ministers in South Carolina (i.e. Rev. Darrel Jackson, a bootleg preacher in Columbia,SC)with a measely $10,000 dollars per head.Clyburn is functioning on a 9th grade level. Dick Riley, former governor of SC hand-picked the Negro to lead Blk Folks down the accomadation path.He and John Lewis of Ga are very similiar in intelligence and style.

Hmmmm, looks like totin’ water for the Clintons is costing more than Clyburn and the rest of the CBC were expecting. ;-)

HRC said she talked to Clyburn on Saturday and he confirmed he will not make an endorsement. She even has the gall now to say the Obama camp are the ones who have taken her comments out of context.
