Discussion: Clyburn: Benghazi Probe Targeting Obama Like Southerners Went After Blacks In 1890s

Discussion for article #223054

Why the fuck isn’t Grayson on that committee? He’d treat it like it deserves to be treated.

And then Grayson would be all over the place, any available mic, every night, telling anyone who’ll listen how he’s going to set them straight, blah, blah, overlooking the reasonable choices Pelosi made. She chose five Democrats who have been on previous BENGH investigative committees who bring something more important than just the glibness Grayson would bring. There’s a reason he lost after one term, and I’m not sure how he got back for a second term.

Does this, and Rockefeller’s comment yesterday, mean that Democrats are ready to talk about GOP racism? Clyburn, of course, has been more willing than most to name it. Still, I hope that we’re finally ready to call it what it is.

Good Lord, I hope so! While it’s several years late, I welcome the discussion all the same.

They’re plenty of racist on the right but this ‘investigation’ is not about race it’s about politics. It’s more about Hilary at this point then it is about Obama actually but they will certainly throw mud on who ever they can. They would go after any Democrat regardless of race or gender, it what they do when they can’t win on ideas.
