| Clyburn:Republicans are using racial ‘Code Words’ to attack Rice (Posted on 11/20/12 at 2:14 pm)
quote:
Democratic congressman James Clyburn appeared on CNN’s Starting Point earlier today to defend U.N. ambassador Susan Rice from criticism over her role in a possible cover-up following the attacks on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Soledad O’Brien specifically asked Clyburn about the tone of the attacks leveled at Rice. Clyburn said that Republicans have been using racial “code words” to attack Rice and have gone over the line in attacking her qualifications.
quote:
“These are code words. We heard them during the campaign. During this recent campaign, we heard Senator Sununu calling our president ‘lazy,’ ‘incompetent,’ these kinds of terms that those of us… we’ve been hearing these little words and phrases all of our lives, and we get insulted by them.”

Good. Now they have "won" the arguement. Time to move on. They are intellectually superior to you now.

Clyburn can find a fire, and promptly die in it.

Calling "lazy" and "incompetent" racist code words, is racist.
And it is extremely insulting to blacks.

This has always been my contention. Seems race baiters have a low opinion of minorities.

The President has called himself lazy
President Bush was called way worst than incompetent
It was because he was black

It's amazing how little respect liberals have for the intelligence of the American public.

I hope they don't catch on to Ginsburg's term "undesirables".
Any negative word is now racist and sexist. These guys have it made.
Maybe I'll just start saying nice things really loudly with wide eyes and air quotes.
That Trayvon sure is a "SELF MOTIVATED" and "WELL SPOKEN" young undesirable

The board should compile a list of all these code words.
I know a girl who said the bumper stickers that say "kids who hunt and fish don't steal and deal" is racist... Because apparently black people don't hunt.

Interesting I used to fish with some black guys whilst in South Carolina, I was their token white guy. I guess I never knew if they hunted!
