Clyburn: Stimulus opponents are insulting African-Americans
Posted: 05:56 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

Clyburn is the highest-ranking African-American in congress.



(CNN) – Democratic Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina said Thursday that GOP governors who oppose the stimulus bill are giving African-Americans “a slap in the face.”
Clyburn has been sparring with his state’s governor, Republican Mark Sanford, who has been a leading voice of opposition to the stimulus package. But the highest-ranking African-American in Congress said his frustration with the bill’s opponents isn’t limited to Sanford.

that doesn't even begin to make any sense.
how does being against the porkulus package equate to a 'slap in the face' to blacks?

what an idiot.

He is saying that those Governors are from "Black" areas, so they will be depriving Black people...

Nevermind that those people were ELECTED!!!

This is outrageous abuse of the race issue and I fear just the beginning in a disturbing trend...

Just as many citizens who criticized Obama during the election were called 'racist' we are seeing politicians who oppose the Obama policy being labeled the same way...

It's no more nonsensical than race baiters who call those who oppose taxpayer $$$ to Israel anti-semitic.

So he's admitting the stimulus is aimed at african-americans? That's a slap in the face to non-african-americans.
