Keep digging democrats.
Far left Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) says Sarah Palin is unable to understand the bogus media charges against her this week.

The Hill reported:
A House Democratic leader on Wednesday lashed out at Sarah Palin, accusing the former Alaska governor of being intellectually unable of understanding why she’s faced criticism related to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said that Palin had missed the point by releasing a statement this morning blasting the media for “blood libel” for looking to assign blame in part to her rhetoric after the attempted assassination of Giffords last weekend.
“You know, Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it, on any front. I think she’s an attractive person, she is articulate,” Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show. “But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”
Palin broke her relative silence since the attack on Giffords, which some Democrats have said created an environment that allowed such an attack on a member of Congress. Democrats have honed in on the map Palin’s PAC had released, depicting targeted lawmakers in the election with crosshairs over their district.
“Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own,” Palin wrote. “They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state, not with those who listen to talk radio, not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle, not with law-abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their First Amendment rights at campaign rallies, not with those who proudly voted in the last election.”
Clyburn said that Palin didn’t grasp why such rhetoric was so troubling, regardless of the motivations of the alleged shooter of Giffords.
What a horrible person.
Now, who is the idiot again?

Once again we see the libs go after a woman who, according to them, has no chance of being president.

Your fear is showing!!!

Now, THAT was one jackash of a statement from someone exuding ignorance.

Good grief! Clyburn calling the kettle black?
These mental midgets in congress have no clue just how sad they really are.

I’d link to every stupid statement the congressman has made, but there’s simply not enough bandwidth.
Joe Camel commented:
Seems to be the norm for folks in the CBC to strike out against everyone not like them. Gerrymandered districts are what keep these people in power, much like Cleaver in Missouri. They can be as controversial as they wish, and know they will suffer no consequences for those actions.
Bobbi commented:
The democrats say they want to work with the Repubs, but with all this inflammatory language, they sure are burning their bridges. Remember when Clyburn called MxCain a racist, and it made McCain break up?
gary gulrud commented:
Watch out for the glass shards impinging on your ankles, Congressman.
Given the NYT is reporting Dupnik’s duplicitous misdirection and the esteemed commentator Bechtel of Georgetown is down playing Liberal histrionics as self-policed and desisted you might be behind the curve.
Highlander commented:
Palin’s statement seemed pretty coherent to me….
clyburn_sucks commented:
Clyburn complained that Alvin Greene was a GOP plant b/c he (Greene) couldn’t really represent democrats.
Au contraire, Burgermeister Clyburn. Both you and Greene are stupid and slovenly, representing to a T the welfare class lead by elitists that so characterizes the democratic party.
Sarah Palin has more class in one of her discarded fingernails clippings that Clyburn could ever hope to have.
IOpian commented:
In perpetuating the vitriol against Palin, Clyburn shows that he is the one that intellectually just doesn’t get it and fails to understand what is going on. He is the one guilty of the accusations he makes against her.
John Fembup commented:
Clyburn has it exactly backwards.
Clyburn is so ideologically-handicapped that he cannot understand why the charges about Palin ARE bogus and deserve EXACTLY the treatment Palin is giving them. By the way 60% of the public agrees with Palin, right now.
That 60% will grow as the facts begin to ooze out of this situation, despite the despicable efforts of the media, politicians, and even the idiot sheriff of Pima County, to stifle them and to focus instead on the politics. Facts? Yeah facts, such as the shooter’s past – his years of being disconnected from reality, his obsession with the Congresswoman, his record of arrests, and the failure of the county sheriff’s department to respond to this miscreant in any responsible or meaningful way.
As the public learns more of the facts, this howling mob of Democrat politicians and their fellow-travelers will simply quiet down.
Mind you, they won’t change their opinions or concede they are biased or wrong. They will just quiet down, and await their NEXT opportunity to howl in predictable rage against . . . facts. Their side is losing the public every day, and they don’t even know it. Clymer got the “intellectually unable” part right – - but he should be looking in the mirror.

You know what’s troubling Mr. Clyburn?

“But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”
Is he insane or a liar?
Spider commented:
The democrat’s claims are so convoluted that nobody can understand them; even a CBS lame stream media poll showed the American public believes the shooter is a lone mad man.
The only thing we understand is that you are trying to blame Sarah P. for this atrocity and its BS, and we won’t stand for it.
Can the adults take over?

Joe Camel #5…mega ditto’s. I checked this fools bio and learned he has never had a job off some government level teat nor has he ever had to make a payroll. A lot of people in SC have got to be embarrassed.
Henry Hawkins commented:
Clyburn knows full well Palin bears zero responsibility. No matter what negative event happens, if there is any way possible to tie it to Palin’s tail, or to any other conservative, or to the Republican Party, that’s what they do. It is planned behind closed doors and specifically assigned. This is pure Alinsky.
Spider commented:
This is the same old democrap strategy; trying to co-opt the debate.
For 50 years we have let the lefties slowly move the goal posts. They have brainwashed the American people into believing too much of their manifesto.
Well I believe we have had enough and we are truly pushing back in the other direction.
This has got the libtards absolutely panic’d and they are melting down in front of our eyes.
SandyToes commented:
Poor Clyburn, the idiot that wanted to use this tragedy to get himself and his buddies exempted from having their junk touched by the TSA. Afterall, Congressmen are not common, ordinary people. (Rolleyes). If the Justice Department allowed Congressional Districts to be drawn along county lines rather than forced gerrymandering, Clyburn would find himself and his relatives unemployed. SC has proved that we can elect any qualified person of any color, sex, creed etc in any district (See Tim Scott SC District#1, Nikki Haley SC Gov). Clyburn is an unfortunate result of Federally forced quota congressional districts.
greg commented:
Clyburn said “She is attractive, articulate, but ……” That smacks of a female putdown line that comes from a guy who is supposed to be sensitive regards discriminatory speach.
Andrew X commented:
100 years from now, whole PhD’s and careers will be based on studying the psychological effects of Sarah Palin on her enemies.
It is an endlessly fascinating topic, with layers upon layers. I confess my own intellectual limitations. I can’t even begin to scratch the surface of understanding it.
HarryT commented:
Miss Nancy needs to get her driver under control…
Speaking of intellectually unable to comprehend… When will Clyburn figure out that Nancy and Steny played him like the fool he is in giving him an “Assistant Leader” position?
Is that like “Assistant to the Regional Manager?”
Spider commented:
greg, Exactly!
Sarah has bored a hole so deep in these idiot’s heads; they are using Joe Biden tactics: “…. clean, articulate….”
arnonerik commented:
Stupid is as Clyburn does. Politics is not like a box of chocolates because you know in advance just what kind of crap your going to get from the Democrat BS artists.
Louis commented:
James Clyburn,
He sure is a Classic….. Here is Mr Clyburn and Judge Napolitano
Mr Clyburn: “So what is a fact to me, may not be a fact to you. So what kind of independent facts can we develop?“
Ridiculous. This is the 3rd ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives. He doesn’t know the difference between “fact” and “opinion”.
The Judge then pops the question: “Where in the Constitution is the federal government charged with maintaining people’s health?”
Clyburn’s answer: “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the federal government has anything to do with most of the stuff we do.”
The Judge charges back a bit later: “You took an oath to uphold the Constitution. You can’t go outside the Constitution because you think it is a good thing to do without violating that oath!”
Clyburn replies: “How about show me where in the Constitution it prohibits the federal government from doing this?”
Mr. Clyburn, Keeps it classy again

That replacement is exactly what Rep. Clyburn is doing here.

Nobody gives two $hits about what he has to say he like the ones he follows still think we back in slavery days still playing victim and being ignorant!! And yes I’m blk and saying this!!! Clyburn can kiss Palin a$$!! And go sit his RAGGEDY follow the leader obama kiss a$$ down !!
StrangernFiction commented:
From the Almanac of American Politics regarding “Representative” Clyburn’s career prior to “serving” in Congress:
Professional Career: Teacher, 1962-66; Dir., Charleston Neighborhood Youth Corps, 1966-68; Exec. dir., SC Comm. for Farm Workers, 1968-71; Asst., SC Gov. West, 1971-74; SC Human Affairs Comm., 1974-92.
Translation: community organizer, propagandist, parasite, communist, and consummate ‘rat.
Joanne commented:
Palin understand exactly what is going on here. You’re the idiot who doesn’t grasp that fact. Palin has been going through this crap for about three years now – you really think she doesn’t know what it going on. Democrats are beyond arrogant and ignorant.
cal rifkin commented:
Clyburn intentionally misstated Angle’s statement regarding the 2nd amendment, and it’s been picked up by others. Palin, as usual, has distilled the media’s despicable intentions down to the words ” BLOOD LIBEL “. There’s no more effective person to get a point across than Sarah ( Death Panels) Palin.
Mary commented:
The truth about the right’s inflammatory rhetoric has arrived right on time from Castro, who naturally blames the Tea Partiers. Birds of a feather……flee reality together.
oogum commented:
Hey, try listening to Clyburn on local SC talk radio. Every third word is uuuuhhhhuuuuhhh [sounds like grunting in the bathroom] No kidding. Serious. He needs speech lessons badly.
Mikey commented:
If for example, Senator Jim DeMint had made the same comment about a black woman we would endlessly be hearing RACISM!!!!!!!!!!! The double standard has to GO. It is aiding and abetting in the downfall of this great nation we PATRIOTS call the United States of America. Clyburn should slink silently into the night with the other vermin on the left. He is disgusting beyond belief – such vitriol from an elected representative of the PEOPLE. Vote him the hell out in 2012 – if that is an option.
Joel commented:
Mrs. Palin’s comments brought comfort to me like none others on this sad event. She should be given a chance to lead like we gave to President Reagan. I am sure she will do a great job and make us proud of her and our country. God Bless.

Clyburn, intellectually, seems not to be able to understand how condescending, offensive and vapid he is. He just can’t seem to get it, on any front. And, he is not attractive nor articulate.

Great news to those who hate Paline & everyone and everything conservative!
Thanks to the Democrats exploiting the Arizona psycho killer, GUN SALES
HAVE INCREASED 60%! This is because Americans recognize the con game.
Democrats are exploiting the Arizona shooting for their own political and monetary
gain. Americans know from past shootings that this is all about Democrats wanting to
erode free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. So keep it up leftists!
And the rate of gun sales will continue to sky rocket! An awesome way to
stimulate the economy!

No one wants to be without the means to defend themselves in the event the government decides American citizens are incapable of responsibly owning guns.
Some dude named Madcow on MSNBC last night was screeching about cop killer bullets, high capacity magazines and plastic guns. I guess he’s unaware of the black market created by prohibition laws. If there’s demand someone somewhere will find the means to supply that demand, regardless of the law. And they’ll become wealthy doing it.
I’d say that we’ll eventually learn the lessons of the past, but I’ve yet to see any evidence to support that notion.

Remember, the Democratic Party was the first to use target/crosshairs on a map in 2004, well before Sarah Palin did. In considering this fact, I must conclude that Far left Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is too darned stupid to understand the very stupid statement that he made about Palin, and, that he simply has no memory.
Diviney commented:
Oh, and Clyburn had to make a sexist remark regarding Palin’s appearance and speaking ability in a fruitless attempt to add credibility to his own stupid statement. Even if he was correct, one could say it is better to be attractive, articulate and stupid than ugly, inarticulate and stupid.
“You know, Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it, on any front. I think she’s an attractive person, she is articulate,” Clyburn said on the Bill Press radio show. “But I think intellectually, she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”

I’m not saying Ms. Palin is totally stupid. She is an educated woman but she should take care of business within her own family. Ms. Palin is not politician material and should not make public statements. I am sure she didn’t really mean someone should injure other people but her choice of words can be taken the wrong way by unstable people. If the Republicans do nominate Ms. Palin for a government position, it will just ensure a Democratic win. I plan to vote as I always have. . . by chosing the better candidate no matter which party they represent.
