33. You think Clyburn "should take a look at the history"?
Perhaps you are too young or too dumb to know that Jim Clyburn LIVED the history you are so cavalier about. He helped make that history. He was one of those so "valiantly" fighting. He was one of those masses of good people who pushed Kennedy and Johnson to do the right thing. And make no mistake, there would have been no civil rights bills - no voting rights bills - without people like Jim Clyburn and all the others who put their lives on the line.

Or perhaps it is just your job to come here and say things like you just did. You're going to "call out" Jim Clyburn? Idiocy. Clyburn may be not be leftist enough for my taste, but his credentials are impeccable.

Neither Jim Clyburn nor anyone else needs to "pit blacks" against the Clintons - the Clintons seem to be doing a fine job of that all on their own.
