“BETTA CHECK HISSELF”
U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn is playing the race card (again) when it comes to critics of embattled Richland County, S.C. election director Lillian McBride – accusing them of using “coded language” in attacking her handling of last month’s election.
According to Clyburn, it is racist to refer to a black public official “incompetent.” In fact Clyburn has used the same “coded language” argument to attack critics of Susan Rice – who is being considered for the role of Secretary of State in U.S. President Barack Obama’s second term.
For those of you unfamiliar with the context here, McBride oversaw the “Richland County Robbery” – a rigged election last month that facilitated passage of a $1.2 billion county-wide tax hike.
For the record, this website has never alleged that McBride was incompetent – although even her allies acknowledge that she “may not present herself” as being capable and qualified. Seriously … check out the comments from S.C. Rep. Leon Howard in this story written by reporter Corey Hutchins of The (Columbia, S.C.) Free Times.
Anyway, if Clyburn’s poverty pimpin‘, money-wastin‘, Cosby sweater-wearin‘, free speech strippin‘, Louis Farrakhan-lovin‘ black ass thinks it’s “racist” to apply the same standards of criticism to people of all colors … “bitch betta check hisself.”
It is not racist to call someone incompetent any more than it is racist to call them fat or ugly. Nor is it racist to call them corrupt (which is the specific allegation that we are leveling against McBride).
Being black doesn’t exempt one from criticism – nor does it entitle them to praise.
If someone does something wrong they should be called out for it as quickly and as stridently as possible. And just as this website’s founding editor has called out Clyburn for this crap before … we will continue to call him out for it.
Every time, punk. Every time.
Black leaders at the state and national level should be embarrassed by Clyburn’s shameless (and racist) antics. He’s a disgrace, and a racist in his own right – not to mention one of the most fiscally liberal lawmakers in the history of the U.S. Congress.
Like we said … “bitch better check hisself.”

No surprise, it is the only card in his deck.
Are you sure he has a deck – or a “full deck”?
He needs to get off of his hobby horse and learn to play with the adults. Anyway, this racist crap he slings around is really outdated now. We have better, more refined, ways (and polite) to express our feelings.
Jimbo, sorry if your feelings were hurt. Leave the sandbox, change your diapers, wipe your nose, and perhaps you may be accepted as an adult. Someday.
Are you sure he has a deck – or a “full deck”?
Might not be a full deck, but this is Clyburn we’re talking about, so it is definitely a stacked one.
And though it is a marked deck, that dosen’t matter, they ARE all the same card.
I actually agree with you on this one. Maybe if enough people call him on it, he will stop playing this ugly, divisive card…Probably, not, though, because it has worked so successfully for so many years…
Hey, Jimbo, if you rearrange the letters in “RACE” you get “CARE”, which is a good word for you to know. Think about it.
If you rearrange the letters in “RACIST” you get “STUPID”!
So there you are. Have a nice day.
There is no U, P, or D in “RACIST”
Idiot.
I think junior just made his point.
Big Jim: Being an incompetent, over paid, political appointee payoff, is: EQUAL OPPORTUNITY!!! Even the whites do it. So, don’t go there, your argument is stupid and racist.
Got to see his minions do just what was suggested here. That was at the Presidential Democrat Debate after party event that his honor hosted in Mrytle Beach a few years back.
Bulging envelopes were in the hands of many as they all glistened their lips for the big on.
That ALMOST makes sense, Vinnie. Congratulations.
I don’t know why he, as an educated man, cannot understand the simple definition of “incompetent” – applies moreso to us Whiteys since we hold more public offices.
To paraphrase Browning: “How do I count Thee? Let’s count the ways… starting with 46 state senators and a governess…”
I agree with you, Sic. Clyburn is an embarrassment to this state. He does not even realize he is being dragged around as the token black for Pelosi and Obama. The race card has served him well in the past and he intends to keep on using it.
Absolutely correct. He needs to shut up and wait for his retirement. Maybe he is getting “Bidenitis” and is forgetting how good he has it. Probably moreso than 97% of his constituents. Jimbo, just keep on playing and pretending that you are the “Big Daddy” and enjoy the ride.
Oh, he gets it. He just doesn’t care, since it serves his purposes and gets him “paid.”
Clyburn is such a black guy!
He worked too long for Massa John West when he be gubnor…
It is, in fact, 100% racial – Miz Lilly is only in this position because she is black. There is no other reason that she would have been hired – the racists here are Darryl Jackson and Jim Clyburn, and any other elected official who does not demand Miz Lilly’s resignation and replacement. And “incompetent” is kind. She needs to be FIRED immediately – her office cluster fucked the entire election – which will cost the people of Richland County mabillions in higher taxes and will drive local merchants further into the red as consumers flee to Lexington and Kerhaw to shop, and as new empty busses prowl the skreets looking for riders to get assaulted and robbed.
(ditto all of my previous comments)
Bullshit – she got this position because she knew the right people. The exact same process works on the conservative and largely white side of the political spectrum. Have you ever hired anyone for your own or some other business? Can you seriously say that you did not favor people that you already knew to some degree simply because the unknowns of whether they were a psychopath or a bed-wetter were reduced?
He and Al Sharpton are two of a kind.
At this time I extend my apologies to the commentators on this site.
It is rare for me to express myself in such harsh language, but when someone insinuates that I am “racist” (which is false) then my asshole puckers – and I don’t like it.
As a life-long Southerner, born and reared in the deep south by caring parents, and an extended family, who never expressed or taught me anything but respect for other people. This included either race or circumstances in life, and I feel that I was treated the same in return.
Jimbo, you still try to have a nice day.
He must be frustated. He is probably trying to suck up obama’s butthole expecting to get a cabinet position. After all, others did it so why can’t he? If he thinks being divisive in his comments helps him well let him be that way. It won’t make him any prettier, and it might get him out of the state. It almost makes me feel sorry for him – almost. Right now Alvin Greene would probably beat him in a popularity contest. Here is my vote – 1.
That’s my vote for Alvin, by the way.
No question Alvin Greene is more honest than Clyburn.
Bottom line is she was hired to run the department and under her watch the department totally fucked up election day for hundreds if not thousands of Richland County residents.
Bitch has to go.
Memo to: James Enos Clyburn
********** You are REALLY pissing me off.
I just checked The State, WISTV and WLTX websites and none have a story on their do-boy token Clyburn’s comments. As expected.
When I saw, “Bitch better check hisself.” I thought we were still talking about Graham…
What does Jimmy Crack Corn have to say about the black residents of Richland County who want McBribe gone? If Jimbo wants to see race, all he has to do is look at a map of his district. There’s no logical reason other than race to have a congressional district that looks like that.
Yeah like he drew his district you racist asswipe.
Bike, You are right. He is too stupid to understand a map. His white keepers drew his district for him.
OBD – Peddle this, and get the fuck out of the road before I put you in the ditch.
Of course,the ‘Richland County Robbery’ never happened.There WAS NO ‘rigged election’.Fits is the one playing the ‘race card’,here and look how quickly the honkies take the bait..
No one takes Fits seriously enough to sue for his libelous statements.He’s part of a slowly dying racist breed.
Face it,asshole.You’re a joke.
9″ you are just pissed cause Will Folks used the word “bitch.” Sic has bitched slapped you so many times its like you owe him money. You hold the record for posts being pulled down here. Sic has pulled down your posts about as many times as your tighty whities have been pulled down at bus station restrooms — lost count after 16.
9 that is truth.
Let me tell ya, this is nothing compared to what he pulled in georgetown county a few years back. Clyburn helped Dayo and Beulah White get earmark money for an organization called five rivers, which was supposed to use federal money from HUD to help low income families get into their own homes. Of course, they never really helped anyone but their friends and themselves, and after some digging from David Wren (The un-news, myrtle beach) charges were filed by solicitor Greg Hembrees office. Now, here is where it gets really interesting; The first time they showed up in court they both claim not to have money for an attorney, so the court appointed one to represent them. THEN a year later, lo and behold they are being represented by none other than Charlie Condon( former attorney general, SC). How bout that shit! And of course, Charlie would’nt fess up to who was paying him (And you Know a former AG can’t be cheap) or how he got involved, but anyone with a half o brain could figure all that out. Yeah, Clyburn is nothing but F’n crook from way back.
You make a great point and as usual, someone is a little too quick to pull the race card. But I think maybe the next time you write an article condemning racism and the race card, maybe it’d help your case if you leave out the part about his ‘black ass’.. Not quite sure why that was necessary and if anything, it just adds fuel to the already redundant fire that. Otherwise, I completely agree.
His ass is not black? Did he bleach it. A nurse friend of mine says when Clyburn had his hemorrhoids operation the doctor had to roll him in flour to find his asshole. Now that’s black!
..Good one, Judy. But if you want to eliminate race, you stop talking about it. Period. Anyone intelligent knows I’m right.

How is this for coded words:
You fucked up Bitch. You be fired like a muthafucka!
I didn’t even realize she was black — until Clyburn informed me.
for turtle- saw this about 5 days ago on Drudge Report which reported that Jimbo made these comments but referred only to Rice at that time. But you are right about other local outlets.
This is one porch negro for sure! Clyburn has some of the thickest lips me’s seen. Picture of him looks like he just polished off a bucket of KFC or a watermelon.
I bet you can finish off a eight piece box faster than he can, inbred.
Redneck, That is not possible. The niggra has been bred with fat lips to catch lubricants such as chicken grease or bacon fat. This makes him unbeatable in chicken and watermelon eating contests.
You know, it annoys me when I see blacks get too sensitive about racial issues. But you two simpletons remind me that sometimes they have a point.
I’s knows that the chicken is finger and lip smacken good
Jim would make an excellent butler. I love his accent. It’s sort of a Gullah, British, Swaziland thing he’s got going. Really desirable in a domestic.
Golly
I just wandered into a meeting of one of those Republican Party Outreach groups
y’all are doing a great job!
Keep up the good work!
OF COURSE its racial! its the only damn card that incompetent fool has!
Judy Chop , I love you!
off topic, but anyone notice video of this lady reaching in her shirt, as if she is trying to crawl inside the shirt and hide? LOL
@Judy Chop.What the fuck are you talking about?
When did Fits pull down one of my posts? Maybe I’m blissfully unaware of censored posts,didn’t know you were keeping score,and now that I read your’e a racist,homophobic cunt:Fuck Off,Bitch!
With Obama reelected,this blog is about done,anyway.Eat shit,racist motherfuckers.
9″ you be so cute when you all riled up and fussy like. When you be bitch slapping you still swinging that turgid member or do you hang limp when you hot and bothered?
Lets say we do lunch at the Parliament Resort sometime and discuss your shortcomings, big boy.
Sic my man, for a a jersey wearin, backward ball cap sportin, whigger wannabe, you talk a lot of honkey bullshit. I have an acquaintance, an SC State grad, who owns a little fish camp juke joint on Hilton Head. No not the white boy part of HH, no this is up on the original hoods of HH. Now I’m sure I could take you by there on any Saturday night and Palmer would be more than happy to give you the floor and a microphone so that you could spread this Clyburn truth to the brothers. What say ye? You talk the talk. Can you walk the walk?
Not one in ten of the chaps in the place would know who Clyburn is.
OBD – Shut up boy and don’t you dare get any of that big lipped spit on my shoes when you’re shining them.
JudyChop said in another post about Will Folks. Kinda nailed it:
Will Folks resembles Yasser Arafat or Ringo Starr in that picture.
What’s with the thug style ass-backwards baseball cap and fluffy wristband? Looks like Ghetto chump meets skateboard dude. You wear this hook up when you be ushering at the Lutheran Church, Cuz?
Need a picture of your pants on the ground NBA shorts, too. They probably look like you toting a canned ham ‘neath your junk…
Uhh huh that’s what I thought. Talk a lot of shit but never do shit. BWS they would have a blast with you. Between your camel toe and the chicken shit running down your leg, you’d be somebody’s bitch quick.
Don’t worry though. The BCSO has made over 200 visits there in the last year. Hopefully they’d get you out before anything real bad happens.
OBD – They’d love me, I’d just bring them some dope and a basketball and they’d not even know I was there.
You seem awful proud that your home is such a shithole. Maybe next year the BCSO will make 400 visits, 399 of them black on black homicides, you know how you black boys love to cap a nigga.
So your successful buddy, the SC State grad, owns a fishing shack and a dive bar. I always wondered what one does with a degree from SC State… that is the ones who don’t drop out once Uncle Sam quits sending them checks to pay their tuition.
Old Bike Dude – “you’d be somebody’s bitch quick”, are you saying that you’re buddy’s “juke joint” is a gay bar, or are you just saying that there are plenty of gay men in there looking to pick up another man?
Not to mention the appointment of his daughter Mignon Clyburn as an FCC Commissioner. Here is an extract from a 2009 article from McClatchy news service:
“Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, noted Mignon Clyburn’s more than decade-long service on the S.C. Public Service Commission in hailing her ascension to the FCC.
“As a seasoned state regulator, Ms. Clyburn brings with her a strong understanding of the telecommunications challenges rural Americans face every day,” Rockefeller said.

I live on acreage in Hanahan, a suburb of Charleston. All of my neighbors are hard-working African-Americans (I am the only white guy). Most live on very large heirs property lots. About 10 years ago developers purchased a huge tract of land surrounding this historic former freed slave community from West Virginia Pulp and Paper. They proceeded to flatten these several thousand acres and build thousands of wall-to-wall cheap homes, condos, and a gigantic apartment complex. In this process (in collusion with local government) they refused to extend infrastructure improvements a few hundred feet to the original residents. A few years after the development began they did provide city water.
Developers are drooling over this remaining undeveloped tract where hundreds of wild turkeys gobble their way through the underbrush and deer abound. Hey! Who needs wildlife when we can have parking lots?
I contacted Ms. Clyburn about the “rural Americans” in my neighborhood who were refused upgrades in the phone lines to allow high-speed internet access.
NO RESPONSE.
Interesting. This seems like an excellent time to press Jimbo on that situation. He may not want the bad publicity and you may accomplish something good.
It would not do much good as it would receive no attention. All of the media in Charleston, especially the TV stations, are in the pocket of the monied interests. I guess the point that I was trying to make is that periodically these African-American politicos step out of the box and make statements to mollify their constituencies and make them believe that they have someone out there speaking for them. In reality, the Clyburn’s are out to promote their own power and self-interest. They are not foolish enough to step on the toes of those who pull the strings.
Sic, I think the scoop of the year would be to get your hands on the “code book” Clyburn uses. If you could make it public it would help us all to be better citizens. Besides, why should Clyburn be the only one to have access to the codes? He’s a government employee and is supposed to be working for us, so shouldn’t he share the code with his constituents?
Very good! Wish I had thought of that. Perhaps it is well organized – it might even be “COLOR-CODED” for quick referencing!
And here is a new one he can add to his list: “jicakiouwhas”.
— (one for all and all for one)— [or something like that]
As much as I disagree with Clyburn I must admit that racism is alive in SC. Lots of comments prove it. Is it that tough to speak your mind without spewing filth?
Agreed.
The worst is Old Bike Dude, when he isn’t out stealing kids bicycles he’s on this blog bragging about how bad his homeboys are.
Unfortunately, a few loud idiots try their best to make the rest of us look bad.
Simply knew there would be many comments on ole JIMBO. The truth of the matter is this woman is just an incompetent black woman in her job position and MUST be fired. Her management of the election and subsequent failures concerning the American voters is an OUTRAGE and DISGRACE. She should be terminated immediately, I do not care if she is frigging purple.
Jimbo has always been a race baiter and most SC voters await his retirement as he disgraces the state with his BULLSHIT of Racism.
Perhaps Jimbo keeps doing this because he is otherwise ignored (and for good reasons) and he now needs to appear to be “the victim” – I just can’t stop my tears from falling!
I need to stop posting for a while because I’m using too many (“”) and (()) and (CAPS).
Maybe she’s just incompetant…But why are Darryl Jackson and Jim Clyburn SOOO willing to put their reputations on the line for her? FITS is right this time – it was a “rigged election” to get the penny sales tax passed.
when are we going to remove all Clyburns from the state/fed payroll. They are all incompetent. From Brother Jim to smack-ah-lackah at the statehouse,to Jims radio fequency daughter??? WHEN
So. A Spade really isn’t a Spade?
Why you so hard on the brother?
They have nothing to fall back on. Thier arguments are senseless, thier ideas have been negated by history, in general they are stupid little people. Falling on the Racism cry is all they have. The response is laughter.
Hahahaha anything you say has no credibility just based on your pitiful inability to spell the elementary level word ‘their’. Misspelled not only once, but twice. Congrats, man.
… too many rayciss comments.
I don’t blame the blacks who support these seditious crooks. They are childlike, greedy, and gullible by nature and can be bought off out of hand. It’s the pious, but always self-serving, white Democrats that make me puke in my mouth.
