Rep. Clyburn: Palin Is “Attractive” And “Articulate” But Lacks Intellect To Understand Arizona Shooting

Audio
» 150 comments

In the wake of Sarah Palin‘s video address dealing with the Arizona shooting, it was easy to predict that her controversial “blood libel” reference would generate passionate reaction from many. Without much delay, Assistant Minority Leader in the House, Representative James Clyburn, offered up his instant reaction to the comment on a radio show with liberal host Bill Press that is likely to stir up some controversy of its own.

Press asked Clyburn to respond to Palin’s comments that pundits have manufactured a “blood libel” by trying to find someone to blame for the shooting and Clyburn responded:

“Sarah Palin just can’t seem to get it – on any front. I think that she’s an attractive person. She is articulate. But I think intellectually she seems not to be able to understand what’s going on here.”

Strangely, before Clyburn delivered his blow to Palin’s intellect, it seemed he thought he was actually complimenting her by calling “attractive” and “articulate.” Such dismissive words once got Vice President Joe Biden into trouble when he referred to President Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

Clyburn also discussed his days living through segregation and his worry that he sees the violence from that era as likely to repeat itself given the violent rhetoric he now hears. Clyburn concluded saying, “all of us in public office oughta be very careful about what we say and how we say it.” If that’s the advice Clyburn wants to promote, then when the Congressman gets a chance he might want to share it with himself.

    Just once — probably never get reelected if you ever said it — I would like to hear somebody say, ‘The voters have spoken, the bastards.’ Or, ‘The voters have spoken. What a bunch of idiots.’ ‘The voters have spoken. God, they’re dumb. Dumb as hell.’ I just wish I’d hear somebody say that, because I think that happens to be the case this particular midterm elections.”

    “I call NPR ‘National Pentagon Radio.’ They’re no more left wing than Fox News as far as I’m concerned. Look at the commentators they have on there, right? They’re all right-wing commentators. I couldn’t get in the door of NPR. I’m sure you don’t appear on their shows either, right? They lean so far right. The idea that they’re part of the liberal media, as if they were. Look, except for MSNBC, these guys control all the media as far as I’m concerned.

    It seems to me that none of these Liberal politicians, MSNBC, CNN et al. would never get any news coverage if they were not attacking Sarah Palin, O’Reilly, Beck and Rush on his radio show commentaries.

    That is what you call clinging onto the tailcoat of successful people, and the hatred these Liberals spew amaze me because 99% of their venom are lies.

    I think when people reach the age of 70 it is time for them to retire and give young; healthy non-corrupt (yet) minds, their turn to lead the country in all aspects of power… Especially that ranting 75 year old Pima County Sheriff, who has only has hatred in his heart, so much for growing old and gaining wisdom.

    “Attractive”?? To whom??? “Articulate”??? To what portion of out dumbed-down nation??? A “slow” 12 year old??

  • trica

    Does Palin even know what blood libel means?

  • SteveMG

    It seems to me that if you truly think that harsh political rhetoric can push mentally unstable individuals over the edge and cause them to act out murderously that you’d be a bit more careful in your own rhetoric. Correct?

    Imagine – again if you think language affects such people – a mentally unstable person reading and listening to the rhetoric that spewed out over Jared Loughner and how Palin or the right contributed to his acts. Or that the right wants to starve children or take away healthcare from the poor or take money from the poor and give it to the rich.

    I’m not denying that over the past two years that the right’s language has been much, much worse than the left’s. But not all of it comes from the right.

    So, if you think harsh language fuels insane people to act violently, wouldn’t you want to be careful not to use such language?

    The Left can’t help itself. It’s caught up in a feeding frenzy. No matter that there is not connection — ZERO! — between Palin and the shooting.

    spot on rep. clyburn. a smarter person might have realized the real tragedy was the shooting spree that killed six people, and not what people are saying about you. a smarter person would have spent more time talking about the victims, the real victims and not spent so much time trying to justify herself and her rhetoric.
    of course she needed to address the allegations, but it came across more like a ‘this is why i am not to blame, and oh…by the way, it’s terrible what happened to rep. giffords.’

    No one ever gives Sarah Palin credit. She has amassed a large group of people to respond to her message and her existence and she is part of the dumbing down of this nation. Maybe someone needs to point that out again. Her followers are by no means the smartest people in the union and she has huge support from the hanger-oners around her and huge support from people who do things like this wacko did in Tucson.

    From an education standpoint this nation is done. We are doing nothing more than making it OK to follow someone with limited intellect and intelligence rather than supporting those with a clear, concise message which this woman does not have. People in this country, if educated, should follow those who are better, more prepared, smarter, can think and articulate which Sarah Palin cannot do.

    And that’s what most liberals are afraid of when it comes to her. That the rest of our nation feels the need to follow someone on such a low level. We need good leaders on both sides not dimwits.

    Here’s Alan Dershowitz, no Palin fan or conservative, on the use of the “blood libel” phrase:

    “The term “blood libel” has taken on a broad metaphorical meaning in public discourse. Although its historical origins were in theologically based false accusations against the Jews and the Jewish People, its current usage is far broader. I myself have used it to describe false accusations against the State of Israel by the Goldstone Report. There is nothing improper and certainly nothing anti-Semitic in Sarah Palin using the term to characterize what she reasonably believes are false accusations that her words or images may have caused a mentally disturbed individual to kill and maim. The fact that two of the victims are Jewish is utterly irrelevant to the propriety of using this widely used term.”

    FWIW, he sees nothing wrong with it.

    It seems to me, however, that a better phrase could have been used. It’s too “rough” of a phrase to be used in this context.

    Sarah Palin, for good or bad, is a influential figure in our politics. As such, she needs to judged by a higher standard than others. And in this case, the use of “blood libel” doesn’t meet that standard.

    At least for me.

    “all of us in public office oughta be very careful about what we say and how we say it.”

    Idea. Why don’t ‘We the People’ LIMIT what the Gov’t can DO, and then there will be no reason to worry about what you SAY Rep. Clyburn.

    Imagine for a moment that the Federal Gov’t was actually LIMITED to Art 1 Sec 8 as described in the Constitution and the Federalist Papers.

    If the Federal Gov’t had not been, for 140 years or so, usurping Individual Liberty under the guise of ‘social’ security rather than individual security, then Federal Representatives would be the LAST people that ‘radicals’ of any flavor would be interested in.

    But this is not to say that since the Feds have Usurped our Liberties, passed UnConstitutional Laws and Acts, and Created 500+ Federal Agencies that Usurp the Power and Sole vestment of Congress to Create Laws, that we should act violently towards the Feds.

    No. No we should instead simply start to RESIST Consenting to these unjust Laws and Illegal Regulations. Force the Feds to use more and more coercive means to erode our Liberty. Liberty is Freedom from Coercion, and at some point their will be no mistaking Coercion from Tyranny.

    Clyburn is old, ugly and unintelligent. He remains in office because he gives entitlements for votes. He’s likely never read the Constitution. Just saying; I once lived in his state. His Black Caucus is clearly and continuing a racist oriented group which advocates the evil of whites while insisting that whites support the blacks.

    Hillary threw that campaign. Any turd with a brain, save The Articulate One himself, knew the disaster that awaited the next Administration. He took the bait like an ACORN CEO

    Watch for Hillary to step up her distance from PrezBO and resign somewhere around July. Former President Clinton taking over The President’s White House Podium is a foreshadow of what is to come. The former Junior Senator from Illinois will soon be regarded as the Former Junior President.

    Unless a Tea Partier or a Jeffersonian Republican boldly steps up to the plate, we can be sure to see a Clintonian Aristocracy born. No current R who has talked about running has a chance against Hillary, though I’d like to see Paul run.

One an exceptionally gifted politician who has a brilliant career and life ahead of her if she recovers from her grievous wounds and the other, Sarah Palin. As John McCain’s career winds down, one of the things he’ll forever be remembered for is inserting Sarah Palin into the American psyche. Poor John McCain who out of desperation elevated Ms Palin into a role she is totally unsuited for, and poor us for having to endure this superficial, and as we’re seeing dangerous person. Hopefully, she’ll soon have her fill of booty and be gone.

What would be even better for the crash-course constitutionalists and 1/2 term former governor who “cut and run” on the people that thought enough of her to vote her into office in Alaska, it would be even better if she “could understand what she reads”. The GOP made it abundantly clear – they don’t like reading (HCR Bill) and yet, somehow, Sister Sarah “wrote” 2 Books. How do you like your Right-Wing Communism Comrades? That’s called Propaganda – you know, when a “central” government – one voice opinion for “all your people” is broadcast and spread through the AM Hate Talk Radio and Ministry of Lies called Fox. You love to shout words you don’t understand – and misuse them constantly – spend less time repeating the idiocy of Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Palin and the Luntz/Ailes writing team for the GOP/RNC hate and fear mongering machine – and LEARN TO UNDERSTAND, a) what communist, socialist, fascist, marxists, elitists, liberals, democrats et. al. mean and b) by your own nonsequiter conspiracy theories – democrats CAN’T BE ALL ideologies AT ONCE.

    Clyburn is old, ugly and unintelligent. He remains in office because he gives entitlements for votes. He’s likely never read the Constitution. Just saying; I once lived in his state. His Black Caucus is clearly and continuing a racist oriented group which advocates the evil of whites while insisting that whites support the blacks.

    From a party that doesn’t like to read – the Republicans (Bush, Palin, Boehner and the HCR Bill) – I can guarantee you, that it is of little consequence – the Republican constituents lack the ability to “understand” as proved by following these same morons that almost brought on the 2nd Great Depression under Bush. You’re such Pavlovian dogs – and easily manipulated. Your party is missing that one last demonic piece….Palin isn’t it, Beohner’s an alcoholic lobbyist for the Health Insurance Company’s, whom will it be? Rand Paul? With a Napoleon complex whom destroys democracy once and for all? Who would you guess?

    I did NOT go beyond the headline here. It was NOT necessary to continue reading such trash reporting.
    Where does Rep. Clyburn get off judging someone else’s intellect? Why don’t we start listing IQ’s ? How could any decent website (Mediaite) even think of publishing this crap?

    Either way, you miss the point and are picking back up on the idiocy that is republican hate and fear mongering. No one is blaming Sarah Palin for the hockey mom from Alaska should have remained there. The hate and fear mongering climate is OWNED by the GOP and it incites lunatics (the climate) with ideas, that they may not have not had otherwise. This “shooting” isn’t random and the hate and fear mongering that is the climate, particular­ly in Arizona and the idiocy there, is part of this twisted minds make-up. He didn’t arbitraril­y go into a post office and start shooting – the ideas came from somewhere – and the truth is the teabagger terrorist took in the air of the hate mongering of the right – as brought to you by Hannity, Beck, Palin, Limbaugh, Savage, Levine, et. al. One students view that he didn’t listen to such things does not an expert make – nor does it excuse the climate that the Right has created that would suggest such things – and deny as you might – the Right has made this aggressive actions and suggestion towards the Democrats via name calling (in lieu of a legitimate argument) and in the Congresswo­man’s own words last March.

    Just once — probably never get reelected if you ever said it — I would like to hear somebody say, ‘The voters have spoken, the bastards.’ Or, ‘The voters have spoken. What a bunch of idiots.’ ‘The voters have spoken. God, they’re dumb. Dumb as hell.’ I just wish I’d hear somebody say that, because I think that happens to be the case this particular midterm elections.”

    What would you call the obstructionist between 2008-2010? Oh, that’s right, Sarah Palin’s “real Americans” – lol.

    Republican­s are only Anti-Gover­nment – when they’re not in power. The sad truth is the RNC leadership has unleashed this evil monster of ignorance, hate and fear to disrupt our governing and government­, using their tools of distortion and false morality and false patriotism – prior generation­s have warned us of this – well, they’re here.

    And the Republican voter forgets the simple fact: The government is US – not some mythical boogey man that Pat Robertson and the NRA/KKK have been selling them.

    So what exactly are they against?

    You guessed – they’re Anti-Democ­rats – and they use the hate and fear rhetoric to destabiliz­e their religious and cult extremists – and in this will be a danger to us all – and the republic. The GOP Leadership is hell bent on serving themselves right now and they don’t care about the future; this is not only said over and over again, but proven by their actions.

    Tell that to the 92% of voting blacks who pulled for Barak because of his black father and not his tissue paper thin resume.

    You’re home schooled intellect is telling. And your false figures are RNC/Fox lies that you hear from the KKK members of the Teabagger caucus that Fox/Koch Bros./FreedomWorks/Dick Army created to disrupt town hall meetings (good use of their Republicorp Dollars – it means Trillions of our tax dollars to THEM).

    You discredit common sense by echoing the hate and fear mongers, but you’ll probably reach your intended audience of idiots that will repeat your idiocy again. Congrats for being a stooge for morons (but as you’re a fan of Palin, Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, Levine and Fox – you’re in the right company).

    Perhaps you can point me to one of his Law Review writings so that I can assess his legal accumen myself.

    He was never a proff at UofC….he was a lecturer….think TA with a good parking spot.

    He really comported himself well in the Ill legislature too with all those present votes. But the one issue that he took on the really caught my eye Michelle had a hand in too……you klnow the one where they fought the law that would have outlawed doctors and hospitals from leaving failed aborted fetuses (see live babby for description) in closets to die.

    Well done!!

    BTW to quailify for 4 years as a US Senator you might have to actually be in Washington doing your job for 4 years……not 14 or 15 months before you hit the campaign trail.

    But I’m real glad you were impressed. It sort of puts a point on any assessment one might make of your abilitiies……

    Hey!! Can you tell me, since you’re keeping track, what were the Republicans doing on their 10 year vacation from 2000 to 2012? The last two years of doing nothing, they hit happy hour a lot and the S&M clubs – but didn’t have time to read (you would think with all that time flying to Argentina and such, they could have bothered reading, but – I’m just curious what exactly they’ve done. Hell, Bush was on vacation 3 1/2 years of an 8 year Tryannical run – and you guys didn’t say a word!! But, I guess it’s because you just don’t expect anything from the Republicans – well, oddly enough – they found time to deregulate systems put in place by your great, great grandfathers You know, the ones that fought WWI and WWII for their financial gain. They’re basically saying, their predecessors – were communists, socialists, fascists, marxists, et. al. Wow!! Who knew! Well, once the “did away with government” over-site, we of course were given the worst economy in 80 years, a President that lied about WMDs to take us to war, before catching his summer home buddy whom attacked America on 9/11 Osama Bin Laden (Dead or Alive! – No, wait, what did he say in the end, “I’m not really that interested in Osama Bin Laden…” GWBush), then of course, they were all on vacation during the natural disaster and humanitarian disaster of Hurricane Katrina – no hurry there – it’s a Democratic state (unlike Florida where the photo ops for the GOP base were non-stop) – let your nation drown while you spend time on the farm – sure you can blame others AND YOU WILL, but what kind of leadership is THAT?! lol. Well, enjoy listening to more of the same stupidity, your support means a lot to the Health Care Industry con men and BP Oil – don’t worry about global warming and huge weather swings – they live in the desert in Africa – your personal nightmare. Cheers.

    The Left can’t help itself. It’s caught up in a feeding frenzy. No matter that there is not connection — ZERO! — between Palin and the shooting. But their venom and hatred for this woman overwhelms logic and facts, and prevents them from seeing how ugly they appear for trying to squeeze political gain out of a tragic shooting.

    When the first article came out saying that Palin was finished because of this I predicted that she would bounce back and even the conservatives laughed at me. So interesting. Love her or hate her she’s not going away. She even has people defending her who don’t agree with her now. It almost seems she picked up a few points. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and what affect this will have on it.

    You’re a true fan. Can you tell me of what? That she exudes ignorance and represents and even larger part of our population that celebrates being “brainwashed” vs. educated? What pray tell are her admirable accomplishments – being a shrill of hate and fear in America for those less educated to warm them and comfort their like-minded stupidity? There is this theme that, the so-called – because there is no evidence in action or words, Christian Right, that a) God is American, b) God loves America more than all other humans to have walked the earth – for your edification – in the last 6,000 years when the Earth was born (lol – for my edification) and c) just by “saying” you’re Christian will save you – particularly if you join a larger group of simple sheep that wish to believe – however insanely – the same thing while walking this earth and journey and betraying your own story line. What faith I had died when George W. Bush used God to explain his crimes. It’s one thing to lie to me, but do you think God is a moron? You don’t give Him any credit for seeing through all the BS – YOU are indoctrinated in. If you had half a brain and believed any of the Christianity you “say” you believe – you would see how evil supporting the GOP has become. That is a very sad state of events. But you’ll jump like Pavlovian dogs on the red-herring false morality issues that your master serves you. You worry about the collapse of America and American values – it’s easy – look in the mirror. It’s not the Liberals trying to save the earth and America – it’s those who are afraid the can’t keep up – the blind faith sheep – as the world evolves.

    Sarah Palin had the intellect and gumption to destroy the old boy network of corruption in Alaska. That is something they don’t do in the house and senate!

    Clyburn is a clean cut articulate black man with none of that negro dialect.
