... especially everything racial:
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) is blaming a Republican presidential candidate for the racial divide that has emerged between Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).During an interview Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with Joe Scarborough, Clyburn pointed the finger at former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) for injecting race into the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary.
“I don’t want to sound disingenuous here but we were doing well with this whole issue coming out of New Hampshire,” Clyburn said, noting that Obama had the support of Reps. Paul Hodes (D-N.H.) and Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.), who are both white.
“It was not until Huckabee sort of brought the Confederate battle flag into this thing,” Clyburn said. “Nobody’s been talking about that. And I guarantee you people recoiled when he did. You remember not only did he talk about the flag in a disparaging way but he talked about what the people of Arkansas would do with the pole of the flag...That’s the kind of stuff that brought this back into [the Democratic presidential] campaign and it was not here until he did that.”
Why would we want to elect folks that blame everyone and everything else for their own problems? How will Obama or Clinton be effective when they -- and their associates in the Democrat Party -- will be busy blaming foreign leaders (and the GOP, of course) for their own faults?
you know, this is just so typical and routine that at first you just laugh at the liberal media and their democratic partners, and then you get pissed again, etc....blame bush for everything or blame the GOP, it doesn't matter, because they rely on the ignorance of the american people to not question anything put out by the media and its partnered politicians.... I watch a few moments of the dem. candidates debate and think, 'there is no one there that even comes close to being in the running to obtain my vote.' Then I watch the repbulican debate, and wow, any one of them has the chance to earn my vote...which leads me to be still undecided on which GOP candidate I WILL vote for. Whatever happened to the Sam Nunn's of the dem party? Everyone saw what the party did to the only modern dem politico that made any sense- Lieberman. I hope and dare I say pray that the american people wake up and don't give us another clinton co-presidency or bring up the rookies to the major league too soon in obama!
Posted by: cardinals fan at January 25, 2008 06:52 PMThat's a big jump from Jim Clyburn to how the Democrats will bash foreign leaders.......
Can you substantiate that?
Jus' sounds like a Southerner talkin' "Southern'" to me. It can only be taken as seriously as to whatever impact it has on the south.
But, Republicans across the state should rejoice to see in Clinton-Obama the inevitability of a Markell-Carney divide. It will be deep. It will be as bitter.
There is just no way, two friends, each with their own intensely loyal supporters, can stay civil when the object is to "not come in second."
Get ready to enjoy the show...........
