Clyburn: Newt Won SC Because Of ‘Racist’ ‘Code Words’ To Tea Party Base

Congressman James Clyburn said that he would "never" call Newt Gingrich a racist, but that he used code words to appeal to the Tea Party base. He claimed, "we all know" what Newt's rhetoric about President Obama being the "food stamp President" was to imply.

How effective can the code words be if only racist black people can perceive them?

Keltic1   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:43 am

Clyburn's code word for THIEVERY is "Redistribution".
Pass it on. These THIEVES use code words all the time & we allow them to set the debate points by NOT being offensive with the THIEVES.

Origanalist   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:44 am

Yes "we all know" that the truth is racist.

solgreatman   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:45 am

More people of color on food stamps then whites percentage wise,obarry knows and loves it,that's what "organizing"a community is all about.

mickigal   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:45 am

Clyburn, you "CODER", you! (Hey, it stuck for birth certificate skeptics.)

jackwood   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:45 am

Sorry if I'm late… I just got my coded message that Clyburn doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. What kind of electorate elects bozos like this? Oh…

Jenny2   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:46 am

I've got 2 code words for Clyburn – bite me and bite me. Honestly, what a load of crap.

skipper99   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:47 am

Unbelievable that anyone with a single functioning brain cell, can be so inept, stupid, intellecturally illiterate, and still be elected to political office. The more these dysfunctional buffons spout their lies the more it does to show them for the charlatans they are. They are one of our best secret weapons for getting rid of the fungus called obama.

13Sisters76   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:47 am

I am SO OVER this 'yer a raaaascist" garbage. I love Tea Party rallies and love the good people- of EVERY color- that I meet there. Do I support what the Tea Party supports? You bet your butt I do! "Code words" indeed! Words like freedom, self-determination, Constitutional government and equal opportunity sure do fire me up!
People like Olberman, Mathews, and this nitwit, Clyburn, and all the rest of the mindless morons of the left, are all parroting what they have been told to say. Their stupidity lies in the adherence to a political mindset that has enslaved whole population groups as assuredly as slavery did.
You left wing idiots can call me a racist all day long- I just don't care what you think. You have turned the word into a joke.

Red_Buttocks   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:48 am

Everyone opposed to Democratic Party policies is racists. Policies that do not favor Democrats over others are racist. Everyone who is not a registered Democrat is a racist. This isn't hard! I've figured it out.

theonenot   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:48 am

There are racist words being used, but it is from clyburn and people like him. Why is it ok that a black person can say what they think but expect a white person to remain silent. Jessie Lee Peterson said it best and if you do not know what he said, look it up!

wonderall2   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:48 am

I have a few choice not so code words I'd like to say here but then my comment would be put into moderation so I shall refrain.

Give me a break. The race card has been overspent, downgraded, and on the verge of becoming obsolete. I know, I know. That's really code for something racist. Meh.

CPeony   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:49 am

Thats all they have left : racism…racist code….racist this and that. Well they can take their racism and stuff it where the sun don't shine cause they are loooooosing big time.

When o-hole loses the election, it will all be due to racism. So be it. The truth will prevail and these mealy mouth, corrupt, entitled bigots can crawl back into their sewers.

It would help if he could tell me what those racist phrases were. I voted for Newt and never noticed the racism.

If Obama gets 4 more years
he plans to roundup the white people

allmenareequal   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:53 am

Just a few years ago, Jim Clyburn was involved in adds saying that if the Republican contendor won, the police would sic dogs and water hoses on blacks on the street. He is a vile hate mongering race baiter and another perfect example of how the Democratic Party continues to poison America with its racist hate.

ToddM   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:53 am

As someone who aligns with the Tea Party, I'm still waiting for my code book and decoder ring that all these commie, racist leftist say I have. Does anyone have the URL for this place so I can get them ordered? Clyburn's a race baiting punk and where there is no racism, he and his ilk will create it to further their political agenda which is dying worldwide.

Whats_Up   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:54 am

Very well said, CP. We need to figure out a way to permanently seal those sewers.

doublezero12   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:54 am

Those Lowcountry jackwagons. People in Georgetown and Charleston. He's our state's disgrace. They're the same one that keeps sending Graham to the Senate. I really hope they get rid of him. He's a bitter old race-baiter.

mustafamonde   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:54 am

And with that Clyburn just delivered vacuous code to his insipid base.

whatsnew59   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:55 am

To Congressman James Clyburn, I'm an INDEPENDENT white voter who, in '08, cast my vote for Barack Obama. You are saying that Newt Gingrich is appealing because of the subtle racism in his rhetoric. I beg to differ with you, Sir.
I like Newt and if nominated, hope like all hell he defeats Mr. Obama because history's proving how bad is he in the White House. You object to Newt's characterization of Mr. Obama as a "food stamp President." Do you deny there's been a drastic jump in users since 1/20/09? But why do you think Newt's referring only to African-Americans when stats tell us there are more Caucasians on stamps than people of color? I voted for Mr. Obama because I thought he'd bring us together. It seems that people of color automatically think that he will be voted out thanks to racism. That's totally false. He'll leave because of INEPTNESS domestically and internationally.

Cali4niaPatriot   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:55 am

That proves it to me. The left has a whole series of code speak. That's why they accuse the right of it.

ksmith5468   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:55 am

Message to Clyburn. Read the story about the boy who cried wolf too often.

Georg_01   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:56 am

Cyburn, you f'n idiot, the code words when decoded didn't spell out "racist," they spelled out "drink your Ovaltine."

Insane racist conspiracy theory by a racist paranoid ignorant fool. Yup that describes the Democrats perfectly.

Sigh…………..again with the "racist" crap. The only race to worry about is the one to unseat the failure-in-chief this November.

StanDoffish   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:59 am

Racist Code words? Like the "Congressional Black Caucus"? or Obama's "Night at the Apollo"? Or Holder's "my People"?

Like that you idiot?

Attila57   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:59 am

These morons really are broken records. Screaming racist is the only thing these jerks know how to do. I guess its easier for thinking, which is something they cannot do for whatever reason; laziness or just plain stupidity. I think that it is a combination of both; they are stupid and they are lazy.

Racist baiting jerks.

I have seen blacks, browns and whites at Tea Party events. People have been nice, well mannered, and have not trashed where they have met like the low lifes int he leftist occupy movement. Or, for that matter the blacks who totally trashed the national mall at BO's inauguration, where I might add there were several stabbings and a couple of rapes.

Attila57   January 22nd, 2012 - 9:59 am

Der be a racist behind every bush!

TommyRichards   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:00 am

Clyburn – the so-called democrat party, now referred to as the communist party, is empty with American ideas, visions and principle – the only response these idiots offer is `racism, insensitive, old people haters, etc., never building businesses, marriage, growing families, owning homes, IRA and 401k plans. It's ALWAYS taking from john and giving to paul! As Karl Marx said, “the effective way to control is to always appeal to the public’s emotions”.

Kevin Stowell   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:00 am

Does anyone here remember how "the natives" reacted in the old Tarzan movies when they first saw one of the hunters, in the jungle, fire the "bang stick (rifle)?" Or the scene in Santa Fe Trail where the slaves are trapped in the loft of a burning barn at Harper's Ferry? See also terminally-backward, livin'-in-the-past, moron of a human being James Clyburn.

The only thing missing is his saying, "Shuckins, Bos', do this mean we' free?!" What an embarrassment to America.

Attila57   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:00 am

Those sewers are Piglosi's swamp land. There are too many exits to drain forever but we can dump a lot of pure patriotic sand on them and let them choke on it.

13% of the population will not divide this country anymore. They either join us in rebuilding this country or they can smother in their own "woe is entitled me" fecal matter.

Here's a "code word" for President Obama that has nothing to do with his race—which, by the way, is half-white and an African amalgam of Black and Arab—and that word is "incompetent".

ForgottenDreams   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:06 am

Yes, Clyburn, we have code words, hand signals, and handshakes that we use to convey our Tea Party racism. When a person joins the Tea Party, he/she receives a special decoder ring that is used to decrypt racially-oriented messages. Most people would think you are paranoid, but in fact, you're onto us! You must be silenced at all costs! You obviously have access to top-secret "Eyes Only" briefings about the Tea Party threat. Wow, the power you have is enormous.

lynched1   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:07 am

Where do you get one of these "decoders" Clyburn and Jackson are using? I know back in the day they had all kinds of decoders listed in the back of comic books. Do you have to register with the DNC or the CBC to get one?

heynorm0601   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:07 am

I wonder what it's like to wake up every morning and look for hidden agendas or code words spoken by every person I meet.? How depressing is that??
This whole race card that is constantly being thrown around by Clyburn and his ilk is really getting tiresome.

Sarsipious   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:07 am

I think Newt is the wrong guy to run the country. We need a uniter, not another divider…However…COME ON, racist words, this is insanity.

Whats next… racist posture?

They nailed Romney for wearing Racist white shirts.

Oh, and feel free to stay far away from any GOP or TEA organized event.

Clyburn ends saying there is only one thing that makes the Zero different from all the other presidents we've had. He's right, you know. The Zero is the only Marxist of the lot of them! Other than that, Clyburn and the Zero are both total wastes of otherwise perfectly good skin, imho.

Clyburn has made a career out of accusing whites or racism, while keeping those of his own race down and exploiting their misery. I call to all American blacks to rise up and shake the chains of the oppressive Democratic party. Read Thomas Sowell and understand that you can too can achieve what all Americans work to achieve. You just have to believe in yourselves and work hard toward your goals. Just like all Americans.

John_Campbell   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:18 am

I felt so sick after seeing that one. To think anyone could be so ignorant seemed beyond reality, but then for that person to get elected to office was beyond the twilight zone. It seemed cold for some to pick on him and yet you have to say something at least to point out that there is a problem. What do you do?

Options:
1) Pull him aside and quietly try to educate him on the subject. Still leaves him in office though and no help for the rest of his issues.

2) Secretly employ some submarines with scoop shovels to undermine Guam and give it a flip. Then politely smile and walk away. :o )

LivingBeyondThe MSM   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:19 am

What "Racist Code Words" would Mr. Clyburn use if his son/nephew/cousin was camping out on his sofa doing nothing for 9 to 36 months?

What "Racist Code Words" do the poverty pimps use to describe tax payers?

What is the "Racist Code Word" status of "work" and "legal"

rmcssboomer   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:21 am

As a former constituent of Rep Clyburn's, I feel I must comment. His entire life has revolved around being a professional black racist, from age 12 with the NAACP to various state EEOC positions, to a congressional career completely involving racial issues to the exclusion of all else. Clyburn IS a racial code word.

CPeony   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:22 am

Obama IS the FOOD STAMP PRESIDENT. Period. In three years he created more entitled people than any president before him. Typical ghetto mentality. Garbage everywhere.

Nightfly24   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:24 am

Reading Thomas Sowell sheds a bright light on the shadow of misery the Democrats have imposed on American blacks.
His truth renders frauds like Clyburn irrelevant.

Another reason why Dr. Walter Williams calls guys like Cylburn "the Klan with a Tan"

Samshile   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:26 am

Saying Racist is code for "I think black Americans are stupid and will believe this crap”. The only difference between the old and new democrat is: since they can’t lynch anymore they, direct the teachers unions to produce economic dolts and mathematical imbeciles year after year.

susandiane311   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:47 am

Once racism meant an irrational fear and dislike of people solely based on their skin color and ethnic background. These prejudices resulted in denying persons their constitutional and civll rights. The institutional and individual racism of the past often led to barriers to employment and educational opportunities. for minorities. For the sake of brevity I won't list all the positve changes that have occurred in the last 50 years that enable all Americans to have better access to "life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"

Unfortunately the race baiters and poverty pimps have attempted to redefine the term "racism" to mean the denial of select classes of persons entitlements and privileges (often at the expense of other groups). Perhaps they and politicians like Rep Clyburn should reexamine their copies of the Constitution because those entitlements and privileges are not in that document.

sporky   January 22nd, 2012 - 10:48 am

To Clyburn, the symbolic meaning of tea alone has racist implications. Any desperate Democrat, liberal or member of the NAACP can tell you so.

Has Sheila Jackson Lee shared her tin foil hat / helmet hair with Clyburn (he could use a little more hair). That tin foil is the only device that can receive and translate those secret GOP "code words." To all of us unlucky enough to be without that tin foil, GOP words sound just like English and we think the words mean what the dictionary says they mean. But then again, we don't have codebreaking translator, tin foil.
