WASHINGTON -- House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., both sons of the segregated South, grew up in parts of South Carolina that were much farther apart than the mere 175 miles between them.

The Columbia Urban League will present to Clyburn and Graham its annual Whitney M. Young Award in recognition of their efforts to advance race relations in South Carolina.

Graham seems to have more in common with the Marxist Clyburn than he has with Conservatives in the GOP.

Clyburn is more racist than any other SC politician I could name.

Clyburn is a race-baiting thug.

And Lindsey doesn’t like white people, which makes him a cool dude, I suppose.

At the very least, Twinkletoes doesn’t like Conservative people... which is something he shares in common with Boss Clyburn.
