This is another classic example of how the far-left nutroots define citizens questioning government policy that affects their pocketbooks.

Citizen who questions government under Bush = Patriotic

Citizen who questions government under Obama = Raaaaaaaaaaaaaacist!

Makes complete sense, right? Yeah, I don’t buy it either.  But unfortunately this is the kind of race-baiting politics the far left like to indulge in when the don’t have both legs to stand on a plausible argument. It couldn’t be that these citizens are disagreeing with bad policy, it MUST be because the current president isn’t male, rich and white. Because under this same hypothesis all bad policy then must come under white leaders and all good policy comes under minority leaders.

Like when Jesse Jackson embezzled funds from his nonprofit to pay support for his illegitimate child. Yeah, that was a good decision and the funds were really just supporting civil rights but in an indirect way. But when Patton made the decision to open the door for backs to serve in the military – clearly he was racist and making a bad decision. Or Dwight Eisenhower delegating D.C. to set an example of integration for the school system immediately after the passing of Brown v. Board of Education – bad decision and racist! Riiight. (Rolling eyes)

So here’s the latest, House Majority Whip Weakling James Clyburn (D-SC) is accusing those who don’t support the stimulus, raising concerns and asking any questions are doing so not because they are concerned citizens but R-A-C-I-S-T.  Here’s what he says about those governors who expressed concern with not accepting stimulus money because they don’t think it’s a good direction financially for taxpayer dollars. Nevermind the fact that most states don’t want to get locked into supporting programs once the stimulus money dries up.  But Clyburn just quips that up to “not liking black people.” (via Michelle Malkin)

“The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African-American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governor’s represent states that are in the black belt. I was insulted by that,” Clyburn said. “All of this was a slap in the face of African-Americans.”

I loved Govenor Mark Sanford’s response to Clyburn’s unvalidated accusation.

“Representative Clyburn is no stranger to playing the race card, because he has no defense for the runaway spending and the deficits contained in this so-called stimulus bil that will hurt our economy. Spending money at the federal level that we do not have represents a future tax increase on all South Carolinians, regardless of their color – and in the process of doing so, he’s ripping off everyone he claims to represent.”

And here is Governor Bobby Jindal’s response (via HotAir).

“The federal money in this bill will run out in less than three years for this benefit and our businesses would then be stuck paying the bill,” Jindal said. “We must be careful and thoughtful as we examine all the strings attached to the funding in this package. We cannot grow government in an unsustainable way.”

Yeah, suuuuuuuuuuuuuure sounds like those decisions were based on race, specifically to oppress black citizens. Clyburn is a disgrace and is himself a racist. The people who continually vote for this piece of uneducated garbage of a legislature are doing a disservice to the vision of our founding fathers.
