Sellers didn’t fail the bar exam, he just balked at it. Twice. A true Profile in Courage, don’t you think?

Snead,
You lose all credibility when you start throwing the f-bomb at bloggers that you disagree with.

It’s easy to distinguish Bakari from Barack. One went to Harvard Law School, and the other failed the SC bar exam.

Cowardly?

At least he put his name on it. And he probably didn’t even get a check to write it, giving him two up on you, Folks.

I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’ve heard it, but go fuck yourself. The only thing sadder than a middle-aged, never-was thinking he’s a political superstar are the people he’s convinced he actually is one. You’re a political tool for hire without a firm conviction (save one) on any issue. Your “ideological affiliation”, if you have one at all, is tied to your wallet and you clearly can’t stand the idea of your tax dollars going to anyone else. You profess disdain for the entire governmental system, from state to federal, so how can you then backtrack and say that you really want to do good for “the poor black children who are being left behind by the tens of thousands each year in South Carolina” when you don’t think government should have a role in education?

But I ain’t mad at ya. I know you’re just trying to feed your kids and keep your woman in nice clothes. I just wish you’d show us the price tag on an attack like this.

And I’d really love to see that Viewpolitik client list. I want to know who finances the guy whose idea of political discourse is “eff you”.

Wait just a rip roarin’ ruttin’ tutin’ minute here…this “Young Blood” fella doesn’t want to drain state coffers (whcih are already empty) to starte writing checks to the the parents of the tens of thousands of children who are ALREADY in private schools and ALREADY home schooled?

What is wrong with this guy, the state should should have to pay to fund the private school system too!!! Parents should even be able to ‘make’ an extra buck or two if they send their kids to public school during the day but ‘home school’ them at night.

Actually I am being really sarcastic here, and do not agree with the idea of a massive expenditure of government itself and government expenditures that FITS news always so adamantly argues for when it comes to public money for private education.

As much as I disagree with the status-quo dribble that Bakari Sellers wrote in his op-ed, I’m just glad someone FINALLY got out a mention about Karen Floyd being a big-money Democrat not THAT long ago–giving money as Sellers notes to Hollings and Tenenbaum (not to mention writings checks to Bill Clinton and attending his rallies, and also attending DSCC fundraisers in DC as late as 1998). But he did get one point wrong on the timeline of Karen’s “conversion”. Those of us involved in Spartanburg politics know that she was a big Dem as an attorney and Flagstar corporate VP, all up until she decided to run for County Council chair in 1998. As the “GOP” chair of county council her signature issue involved advocating for sales and property tax increases on county residents. After her one term on county council, she basically left the poliical scene until people like Rita Allison started shopping her name around as a “Republican” female with no prior education policy background who could be molded into a candidate for Supt. of Ed. to go up against Tenenbaum.
