Retarded Politician of the Week

Congressman James Clyburn, D-SC

Congressman Clyburn, typical left-wing lunatic, has compared town hall meeting protesters to racist Southern officials, also likely Democrats, during the 1960's.

Let's see, comparing concerned citizens, expressing themselves over a policy that will likely bankrupt the nation, to Bull Connor. What idiocy!

The quote that propelled Clyburn to victory as Retarded Politician of the Week was his comparison of the protected 1st Amendment speech and assembly rights of citizens to the racist 1960's officials who assaulted protesters: "This is all about activity — trying to deny the establishment of a civil right."

Memo to Clyburn: The Government does not have civil rights. Only individual citizens have civil rights. Citizens as in the protesters who care enough about their country to show up and speak up.

Clyburn = Dumbshit.

Close runner-up: Congressman John Dingell (or is that Dingbat?) D-MI, who compared town hall protesters to members of the Ku Klux Klan.
