I understand your point, but this Clyburn is unbelievably hostile.
Last night, on CBS Evening News, Couric asked him if, in light of the fact that the killer appears now to have no definable political agenda, did he think that his comments blaming the shooting on Palin and the Tea Party were premature?
He responded "Absolutely not!" and then went on to claim that Loughner's eyes were the eyes of the people who threatened his life during the civil rights movement.
He's a nonsensical, vicious, hate-filled demagogue. I have no problem with throwing his hypocrisy back at him.
Correct. He "bracketed" (propaganda tech term) Tea Partiers and Sarah Palin supporters with the Klan and 1950's segregationists and, by extension, people like Byron de la Beckwith (who shot Medgar Evers) and James Earl Ray (who shot MLK).
Dims in media did the same thing when they constantly showed Bob Dole on a podium with Newt Gingrich, after the media had done a 10-month hate campaign, a "campaign of personal destruction", against Gingrich and driven his negatives up (by circulating divorce/dying-woman-with-cancer stories that Newt didn't refute, or wasn't given air to refute).
Kill Newt, then hang him around Dole's neck -- and you've got the ideal opponent for a weak and repudiated President like Slick.
