Must read takedown of Lindsey Graham.

[blm]

The entire piece should be read. It’s written by one of the most beloved writers in the Carolinas.

.......
The word lynching carries all that historical weight. It is not just about persecution. It is about humiliation and murder.

This all came up because President Trump himself said the impeachment process is a lynching. I honestly don’t know if our president knows enough to understand what he meant. I’m not sure exactly what he knows beyond his own need for power and attention.

But Lindsey Graham damn sure knows what lynching means.

You know, Lindsey Graham used to be somebody. Now he has become one of those birds that sit on the back of a rhino and pick bugs out of their skin.

1. K & R...for visibility...

Is this cross posed in the South Carolina forum?

2. Perfect description:

4. That is one for the ages. And trust me ....

in the Carolinas it will leave a mark.

6. More like a worm that lives in a dogs ass.

3. Tommy Tomlinson. Yes, I've always liked him. Good piece. n/t

5. In other words, Lindsey Graham is a little varmint

[lastlib]

14. ("Vermin" is the word you're looking for, I believe...)

[Hekate]

20. Nope. Varmint it is. The colloquial for vermin has a long history...

Probably comes from the South, but by the time all the Disney TV shows (Davey Crockett, Dan'l Boone, and others) ran their course a whole generation knew words like varmint.

[democratisphere]

23. NO. I actually meant "varmint"'.

Look it up!

7. Those birds are called oxpeckers....LOL.

8. Toward the end of the article

“ After he backed Trump on the word “lynching,” he tied himself into knots trying to explain that he was talking about a political lynching, and how that was different.

But he is from Pickens County, South Carolina, and there is no way he didn’t know exactly what he was saying, and how much it would hurt people who are not like him.

That’s definitely the result. What bothers me most was that it might have also been the point.”

Indeed.

[blm]

10. Yep. From start to finish.

He stripped Graham down to who he is now.

[MerryBlooms]

9. Graham was never anything but a bootlicker for the republican party, now he's

stepped up his game to graduate to brown nosed asslicker for the republican party. History books will paint him as the scourge on humanity he is, for tossing every moral fiber he may have once had into the trash, in order to gain favor with the party of trump. Fucking traitors, the whole damned-to-hell, republican party members who are still covering trump's ass and laundering russian money through their campaigns and lining their pockets with blood money.

11. Lindsey Graham revealed a lot about his real self

when he chose to play around with the word “lynching” and then offered up what he thought was a clever reason for doing so. He can’t sink much lower.

12. Nonsense ! Those pest-eating birds serve a useful purpose, unlike Flimsey Graham. nt

[crazytown]

13. Lindsey is a pilot fish, a yellow pilot fish,

that feeds at the shark's mouth, always in danger of being eaten.

15. "Graham used to be somebody"

Nope!

[thenelm1]

16. Nope. Never forget.

Never forget that Graham was one of the leaders of the pack in the House back in the day leading the charge during the Clinton impeachment. Now maybe Clinton should have been impeached, but that's not the point. Go find the videos of Graham and his sanctimonious statements about how noble the Republicans push for impeachment were and compare those statements to what he says today. What an a total tool and m-eff'in hypocrite. Whomever is his Dem opponent in the current SC senate race should be incorporating these vids in his ads and having then aired every chance he gets.

17. I remember Lindsey's whiny appeal on the house floor asking Clinton

to "fess up" and throw himself on the mercy of the impeachment managers. The slimy rat was just setting a trap.

perhaps he should talk to these people about lynchings.

[Bluesaph]

19. Once McCain died he had to find cover

He could no longer ride the coattails of a great man. He’s the little nerdy kid who would have been eaten alive by the Republican bullies. So he attached himself to the biggest bully there is.

Basically, he’s a nothing. Always has been.

[Hekate]

21. I read the whole thing, & it is elegant. Lindsey Graham used to be somebody.

Now he sits on the back of a RINO (see, I fixed it) and picks bugs off its hide.

Everything Trump touches dies. I wonder if this will merit a mention in Rick Wilson's new book.

22. Kick for reading
