Clyburn: Clinton Supporters Flood Office With Hate Calls - America\’s Election HQ

An angry and upset Rep. James Clyburn said Wednesday that his office has been deluged with nasty phone calls with racial overtones since his endorsement of Barack Obama a day earlier.
Clyburn told FOX News Radio’s “Brian and the Judge” that the callers identified themselves as Hillary Clinton supporters. Clyburn, an African-American and the third ranking House Democrat, said a white intern in his office was so upset by the calls that she had to be consoled by other workers and left the office early.

“We got more vitriolic, nasty phone calls, really racially tinged phone calls in my congressional office, so much so, until one of the interns, a young lady who is not a stranger to politics … and she is not a black person, she left the office, had to be consoled because of the kinds of phone calls from people who identified themselves as Hillary Clinton supporters,” he said.

Clyburn said some of the callers used “names that I would not repeat on this show today.”

“I was absolutely shocked, could not believe that this happened. I could understand people saying, ‘Why are you doing this or why would you not support Hillary Clinton?’ but to call me the kinds of names I have not heard since the ’40s and ’50s,” he said.

Clyburn said some of the callers threatened to “sabotage this election.” He added that he does not think Clinton understands her role in unifying the party.

“I’ve got a call in to Bob Johnson, a good buddy of mine, he’s a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, he’s now pushing for her to be on the ticket as VP. And I’m gonna tell him today they’d better really raise their voices because this kind of stuff is lethal,” Clyburn said.

not supposed to be upset about this kind of SHIT, eh?

supposed to treat them with respect, eh?

obama's the racist, not clinton supporters, eh?

Will it never end?

I believe Rep. Clyburn was very upset about Hillary's "hardworking white people" remark, and when he discussed the perception
among some black leaders that the Clintons were going too far with the race card, it was noted that Clyburn usually keeps a very low profile.

If she doesn't go away and shut the fuck up, we may have a summer of racial unrest in this country.

the fanatics---(which is all we have here at PG)-- are all Harriet Christians---the "lady" interviewed after the hearing saturday with the "inadequate black man" comment.

A colleague of mine had to have a member of her staff escorted out by the police do to the racist rantings.

Lots of us are thinking about doing layoffs before there is more trouble.

I just have to think it is her deranged supporters and not staffers making calls to Clyburn's office. Of course, who knows who put them up to it. I am afraid to go read at HILLARY CLINTON FORUM - Independent Discussion Forum for Supporters of Hillary Clinton! - Powered by vBulletin.

The members of Trinity chruch are scared to send their children to their sunday school classes.

For those who what to understand what 'terrorism' is all about----TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLINTON FANATICS!!

You want to understand the mentality of a terrorist leader----look at Hillary----she has the opportunity to NOW---for a FEW more HOURS to try to diffuse this mess and she is escalating this entire thing.

Why can't you guys give up your hard-on for Hillary?

Obama is the official nominee, do you not get that? Yeah... that's right, she hasn't conceded yet, tough shit, she just doesn't want it that easy for him at first. So.......what? He is the official nominee - you got what you wanted... quit peeing in your pants over Hillary.

'No Rights That The White Man Was Bound To Respect '

In March of 1857, the United States Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, declared in Dred Scott v. Sanford that all blacks -- slaves as well as free -- were not and could never become citizens of the United States.

The case before the court was that of Dred Scott, a slave who had lived in the free state of Illinois and the free territory of Wisconsin before moving back to the slave state of Missouri. He appealed to the Supreme Court in hopes of being granted his freedom.

Taney wrote in the Court's majority opinion that, because Scott was black, he was not a citizen and therefore had no right to sue. The framers of the Constitution, he wrote, believed that blacks "had no rights that the white man was bound to respect..."

Making threats against a US Congressman and against the voting process is no joke Cosmo. This kind of thing makes your endless whining a few months back about the "typical white person" remark look infinitesimally small minded and stupid by comparison. Funny, when it's your sensibilities that get offended, it's the end of the fucking world but when a bunch of crackers lodge crank calls to a Black congressman, it's no big deal. Jesus, you're a douche!

Hillary CERTAINLY put them up to it!

Last night she told them that without her :

1) they are invisible

2) they are going to be disrespected

3) they will have no healthcare

4) their children will not go to school

5) their nation will not be safe.

I could go on.

She has spent several months now lathering her supporters with a message that they were being victimized.

She has told them that they could not believe anyone but her they can trust noone on earth but her.

It is the most MASSIVE abuse of power that I have ever heard of. I don't believe Hitler had 17 million in his audience for his message.

If THIS is what she would do with her "bully pulpit" now-----GOOD GOD---what would she do with the Presidential bully pulpit?!?!?!?!?
