Under Pressure From Tea Party Activists, Charleston GOP Censures Lindsey Graham For Bipartisanship
On Monday, the Charleston County Republican Party’s executive committee “took the unusual step” of officially censuring Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The local GOP committee admonished Graham for stepping across party lines to work with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) on a bipartisan clean energy bill and other pieces of legislation. The censure stated that Graham’s “bipartisanship continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom.”
Part of the fury from the right against Graham is being spurred by the oil and coal industry. The oil company front group “American Energy Alliance” has blanketed South Carolina with ads smearing Graham for seeking to address climate change.
The pressure against Graham has also stemmed from his criticism of hate radio and Fox News host Glenn Beck. “Only in America can you make that much money crying,” said Graham, mocking Beck in early October. Beck has responded with a slime campaign against Graham that he typically reserves for liberals. The leader of the Charleston Republican Party, Lin Bennett, is also a member of Glenn Beck’s 9/12 organization in South Carolina. According to its website, the Charleston GOP claims to work closely with tea party groups and Beck’s 9/12 activists in selecting its favored candidates.
Will Graham be able to stand up to the angry backlash being cultivated by far right voices and entrenched corporations interests? At a Graham town hall in Greenville last month, activist Harry Kimball of “RINO HUNT” protested by constructing a display that portrayed Graham, as well as other GOP moderates, being flushed down a toilet:
KIMBALL: This is for every RINO who has failed to represent us. [...] [the toilet represents] flushing them, flushing them.
Watch it:
Graham’s spokesman defended his boss to reporters yesterday, claiming the senator has a “90 percent conservative voting record.” Unfortunately for Graham, that may not prevent him from being “Scozzafavaed.”

So now GRAHAM isn’t ‘Pure’ enough? Dear Lord. Is that Hell I hear freezing over? These people are truly insane. But hey, if they want to eat their own, who I’m I to stop them?
November 11th, 2009 at 4:04 pmAnd if you’ve ever been “Scozzafavaed” you know how painful that can be.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:04 pmThis illustrates that the Republican Party has absolutely no intention of working with Democrats in any way, shape, or form. Those Republicans who see bipartisanship and cooperation as a way of making some progress will be punished. The very idea that Graham is a RINO is laughable, but when someone like Graham is considered to be too liberal for the GOP, that whole party is sinking. There just aren’t enough super-extremists in this country to create a majority — not when one has to be considerably right of the John Birch Society to qualify.
Tell me again why we should delay needed legislation in order to get some buy-in from the minority party?
November 11th, 2009 at 4:06 pmI admit, I love that term. ‘Scozzafavaed’ It has a delicious ring to it.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:07 pmIt is amazing to see how American politics have evolved. We now have a single party system where the party defines what is proper and right, all members of said party are answerable to the party for hewing strictly to the party line. Failure to do so results in censure. Anyone who doesn’t agree with the party is deemed an enemy.
Na vash drovie, tovarish.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:09 pmAh, lookie there. Lady Graham got his hand slapped for crossing party lines to work with those pesky Dems. Oh, the horror. I can see Graham clinging to his pearls when he got chastized. I’m all broken up in tears for Lady Graham.
The GOP are certainly falling apart by the seams. Who else is next on the list of GOPs to be “Scozzafaved?”

– - I wonder if even an armed military invasion upon our shores would bring this country together. I think we’re FUBAR.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:10 pmThe dumb bums! The whole purpose of the Congress as outlined in the Constitution is that both houses work together for the good of the citizens. So, I must conclude that they do not want their Senator to follow the Constitution? Are they are really so ignorant?
November 11th, 2009 at 4:11 pmMan the repugs are sick. They dont care if your a dem or a repug. If your not for big oil and the corperations then they will do anything to try and destroy you. I cant believe there are still people who follow the repugs and their policies.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:12 pmIf you cant see that the repugs dont care about the citizens of the U.S.then I guess you deserve to be a repug.
lark@9, What do you expect? These people are from SC. Religion and guns are their motto. I look at this way, will the GOP and ‘Tea-Baggers’ force Graham out? Damn, that is something I want to see. It will get really ugly.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:13 pmKeep up the good work, teabaggers. We need more Dems in the House & Senate.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:13 pmssc@10, there was a new Gallup poll out saying Repugs are getting a surge. I didn’t believe it at first. But then again, Americans are lazy and ignorant. Picking up and reading a newspaper is exercise for them.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:16 pmLike the Titanic.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:17 pmA United States Senator is supposed to uphold the Constitution and the needs of constituents in their home states, not follow Republican Party dogma.
These people are truly out of touch with reality…

The State of South Carolina should have a warning label on their visitor bureau web site…
Warning! Visiting South Carolina may cause injury or death to people with non-white skin or to people who support President Obama and the USA.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:18 pmWTF is wrong with these people? “tarnish the ideals of freedom”? WTF does that even mean? (head meets desk)
November 11th, 2009 at 4:18 pmLindsey Graham, really?
If they censure their own for bipartisanship, why would anyone (I’m looking at you, Obama) continue to strive for bipartisanship?
R policies have been proven not to work and yet they’re demanding no compromise? It’s insane.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:19 pmMiss Graham isn’t the chosen one any more. The GOP is falling apart and lady Graham will have to end his career in 2014. Now Britney Cantor has to be careful making friends with Miss Graham, the GOP might not like that. Now I watched the discussion between Miss Graham and Justice Sotomayor during the confirmation hearing. It was clear a cat fight between two woman. Now Miss Graham’s bio clears up any misunderstanding. Miss Graham picked the right career to keep him from going to Vietnam and give him time for a social life. As Michael Jackson’s song said KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:19 pm16, I’m going to vote up on that because an honest ex-republican beats a dead horse every time.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:21 pmP.D. 13..
It’s one poll. But ya.. it is a bad sign – we really need a huge.. far more noticeable trend in the economy.. and a strong stance on our goals in Afghanistan to reclaim the so called ‘independents’… a large number of which are just Republicans who refuse to wear their brand.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:22 pmAnd in a separate resolution, the Charleston GOP and teabaggers declared the late Sen. John C. Calhoun too liberal.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:22 pmYou’re right on the money, missmolly (@3)!
We should stop trying to get Republican buy-in on anything. They aren’t bargaining in good faith.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:23 pmIf these “tea partiers” would read up on their American history once in a while, they would realize that it’s not the government that’s the problem, it’s the corporate takeover of government! The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the East India Company, the largest transnational corporation at that time.

November 11th, 2009 at 4:25 pmlux@22, I’m hoping the Stimulus will help with the unemployment. But the Dems inaction and waffling on Health Care will hurt them. Already Progreesive groups told the Blue Dogs they will withhold ALL their money unless they show courage and sign the friggin thing, AND they mean business.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:26 pmThe shrinking party of NO thinks they will win the next election? ROFLMAO!

FreeDUMB, maybe – but real freedom??
The mind boggles.
Better watch out, Liberace – the teabaggers are after you!!!
November 11th, 2009 at 4:31 pmOnly if there were a Republican president. Democrats have proven that they can come together behind Republican leadership in times of crisis, no matter how incompetent that leadership is.
Republicans seem incapable of such selfless devotion to country at this point.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:31 pmHas it been determined yet that Londra is a parody troll?
Sure sounds like one.

Jail time would be the responsible choice – not death.. we are the only country this developed that still promotes killing it’s citizens.

These people really DO want to Socialize Your Nazism.
Glenn Beck spews incoherent garbage as an act; the teabaggers take it to heart
November 11th, 2009 at 4:37 pmAnnie@30, Liberace. LOL! I like that. Now when I see Graham, that will pop up in my head. I can just see Graham say, ‘I wish my brother George were here!’
November 11th, 2009 at 4:37 pmP.D #27.. ya, the stimulus was always intended to kick into high gear throughout this year. For political reasons? Definitely. The turn around should only accelerate – I’ve listened to the economists.. and they have always underestimated the recovery.. with every forecast – and that trend is likely to continue. The joblessness though is a questionable problem.. foreign workers are still cheaper – no one has a real way of fixing that.. If only there were a simple solution.
The question is though.. even with an even more profound economic turn around.. will Republicans care? They haven’t seemed to be that receptive over the fact that every economic indicator has been on an upswing.. I’m sure even with more dramatic results – they’ll just have their fingers in their ears…with their blinders on (in other words.. watching FOX).

If they could work up enough mental activity (perhaps collectively) to read and comprehend, that would destroy most, if not all, of their ideas of how and why our country was founded.
Maybe they would stop claiming this as a theocracy based on ‘under god’ being in the Pledge, but that’s giving them way too much credit.

YOU miss the point. I am merely pointing out that Biush and Cheney MAY escape JUSTICE in THIS life.
But God SEES the MURDER and EVIL they have done, and he HEARS their LIES and BLASPHEMY.
The SAME God that THEY think gives THEM Carte Blanche.
I have NEVER promoted the idea of killing ANYONE.
Just want to remind those “christians” and OTHERS that God does NOT overlook their EVIL because they CLAIM to be “christians”.
And the WORLD will INDEED celebrate the demise of such EVIL MURDERERS.
Sorry if you are offended by the TRUTH; so are the RapePublics who CLAIM to be “christians”.
Hope this clarifies it for you…
November 11th, 2009 at 4:48 pmThey don’t watch out, they’ll have another Arlen Specter on their hands. Pushing them into the corner is not a good idea… except for us happy observers, of course…

I understand, just ease on the Bold Print.. anyone who screams only makes their opinions easier to ignore. Look at the tea partiers as an example..
I’m sure the Bush admin will answer for their crimes.. I’d prefer they have to answer for it here and now – in a hearing that will expose them for what they are in this life.
If jail time can’t be achieved.. the further marginalizing of all those who share their idiotic, war mongering platform would be a goal. Their program for America’s destruction can’t be allowed legitimacy.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:55 pmWell, well, well…… It turns out the AP writer who disects the Poll results, is none other then Liz (Donuts) Sidoti, who has a very anti-Obama bias. Reminds me that ALL of the AP is always biased against Obama.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:57 pmAs much as I love criticizing Graham (and being from SC, boy do I love criticizing him),
The guy went through college as ROTC and was a military prosecutor. He consistentely votes as conservative as you can be.
I wonder if part of this may be that Graham is from the Upcountry (The NW corner of the state) and the Charleston group is from the lowcountry.
SC still has a lot of rivalry between the two.

November 11th, 2009 at 5:04 pmI believe the length of I-95 in South Carolina is 190 miles. Anyone driving I-95 through South Carolina heading south please fill up in North Carolina and northbound drivers please fill up in Georgia. Flipping Pedro the bird as you pass by is optional.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:05 pmO/T, I have some good news that I would like to share.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:07 pmGlenn beck is back hosting his show. I watch a few minutes of him once in awhile. I sit here in amazment at what a total freakin idiot he is. How on earth can anyone watch this idiot for an hour and actually believe what he spews. Unfcking believable.
activists displayed signs which “bore messages such as ‘downsize D.C.’ and ‘Rush and Glenn for president’ –
Let’s, for one moment, have a little thought experiment on the results of electing these fools to any position higher than the student council.
*shudders*
I have no interest in returning to plantations and lynchings. I have no interest in our country attempting a nuclear war vs China, Russia and Iran. I have no interest in legislation proposing corporations and individuals making above $100k shouldn’t pay taxes. I have no interest in starting a 4th branch of the government legislation process: the NRA.
Having these bigoted lunatics in any position of power is equally as frightening as electing the quitter Palin.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:10 pmTeabaggers are not very politically savvy. Doing the lobbyists bidding is more of the same old same old same old that keeps the unelected corrupted washington consenus in power.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:11 pmRush and Glenn for president’ –
Bopsy Twins 2011!!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:12 pmssc@49, My father won’t even admit to watching Beck anymore. After Faux News inflated the number of the ‘912er’ protest. He told me he saw the footage and knew they used different protests to back up their phony number.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:12 pmWhat frikkin’ hypocrites!! They whine and cry about the Democrats not practicing bi-partisanship, but then when one of their own tries to do it, they slap him down. Why don’t they just establish their own little Country of No in Texas and secede. I can’t think of it happening to a nicer state.

Those driving south can get off Exit 2 in North Carolina (the exit just before Pedro), drive west into Rowland, and fill up at the BP or the Shell there. I’m sure they’d appreciate the business.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:25 pmP.D. @57….I’m with you, brother. The country wouldn’t be losing a thing if Texas took the whole South with it….except maybe all those old farts in Florida–but that state is a complete mess, anyway. And I think the bulk of the NRA members live down South, too, so we’d be killing two birds with one seceding! Go ahead.

Hopefully you Republicant’s decide the same for every representative… I’m watching with my fingers crossed. Hopefully you eventually have no one pure enough to represent you except backwoods hillbillies holding their holocaust signs.. these are the guys you feel are ‘Conservative Enough’ – and they can’t possibly get elected for anything. Keep up the good work – Get those RINO’s out conservatives! They don’t share your view of America!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pmIt doesn’t have to be “Rush and Glenn for president” (and technically speaking it couldn’t be, since only one can actually be president at one time), but I’d be more than happy to back any combination of Rush, Glenn, Sarah, Michelle and Ann for a 2012 ticket. Please, any and all of them, run, please!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pmYes Conservative guy…
I’ll be backing your
RINO Hunt 100 %.
By all means…work to challenge them all in the Primaries with REAL Conservatives. You may lose a bit of Senate Seniority, but at least you can sleep easy knowing you’ve done your part to stamp out Moderation and Compromise.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:28 pmHi conservative guy.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:28 pmIf you haven’t run away already might you give me that list of true republicans….
Thanks-
Graham just needs to survive until 2010 and if the teabaggers spoil the elections for Republicans, he will be in a better position if the party tosses the radicals. The further right he moves makes it difficult for him to be considered for higher office. This is going to be a very difficult time for Graham as well as others like Snowe and Collins.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:29 pmSo, let me get this straight. It’s now against the principles of the GOP to actually function as an elected official instead of flinging poo on FAUX 24/7?
Good luck with that.

November 11th, 2009 at 5:38 pmThe GOP has been taken over by the crazy people in the extreme right and the religious taliban. They know nothing about partisanship. They are angry, crazy, and stupid.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:41 pmAnd we must also mention, so they dont think otherwise, the teabaggers, East India company was not INDIAN Or MUSLIM!!
November 11th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI don’t often make predictions but, at the rate things are going, the next round of GOP primaries are going to be the sleaziest in American history. Extremists always reserve their worst for those who “betray” the movement. In fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see primaries and caucuses devolve into violence.
The looming battle between “conservatives” and GOoPers is going to put Godzilla vs. Rodan to shame.
November 11th, 2009 at 5:59 pmXisithrus,
Your attempts to educate the stupid trolls is admirable but, I fear, ultimately futile. It seems that the poor morons got the idea that the original tea party activists were conservative American patriots fighting against the evil Godless communists. Once a falsehood of such magnitude takes hold I think the only appropriate response is to simply back away slowly and write them off.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pmMay I suggest conservatives target my Congressman, John Mica, R FL-07. He actually secured federal funds to help build a playground in a predominately black area of town.
I’m afraid, however, his support for the manufactures of the trailers with toxic fume problems that Bush’s FEMA supplied for victims of Katrina just might endear him to the teabaggers.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:12 pmThe GOP is on their way to becoming the NCP, the Neo-Confedrate Party.
That’s why they’re close to extinct on the Federal level in the Northeast.
They hate the U.S. Federal Government and the Americans who are different or hold different viewpoints from them.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:25 pmThey lost the war in 1865, the civil rights battle in 1964 and the election in 2008.
They can’t handle the fact that it is 2009 and yes, there’s a n***** in the White House.
Dear teabaggers: I’d like to suggest you take out my senator, Richard Burr. He voted for cloture on the immigration reform bill in 2007. I think he deserves to be purged for his anti-freedom vote. Thank you for your consideration.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:32 pm48 St. Augustine,
Not to mention that Pedro has a questionable background. There are some who will say a well-heeled politico in SC bought the land and then changed the path of I-95 so it would right through by his land.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:34 pm47 PD -
I moved away from SC 5 years ago. If things haven’t changed, Graham was rather popular. Folks just loved to see someone holding conservative values. He wasn’t in any danger of being voted out at all.
Thats part of what has me so confused that the Charleston Delegation would attack him. But Charleston at times seems to feel that it is a world all its own (I think it was in “Lords of Discipline” that started by saying along the lines that in Charleston, more than anywhere else, one got the idea that the 20th century was an unfortunate anomaly).

November 11th, 2009 at 7:08 pmLet’s remember how the Republican Party of (any state) really works. Voters register as R or D or something else. Each county has a D or R Executive Committee which is supposed to advance party politics in the county. The county chief executives (and maybe others) for the state party executive committee.
Along comes a Lindsey Graham (or John McCain or Win Rockefeller or others) who does not toe the party line, but keeps getting elected because the voters like him (or her) and the party dare not object.
Then there appears on the horizon from the bowels of the earth a group of extremists who scare the party executive committees to yellow their shorts. These gutless wonders then vote a sanction against their popular elected official who can ignore them because they no longer represent his (or her) true constituency. Should they try to unseat the incumbent they get a Lieberman.
As an Independent I like Lindsey Graham and expect him to help in the process of crafting a health reform bill that will pass the Senate despite his public comments to the contrary.
November 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pmLooks the “Big Tent” party got its name by pitching a big tent in their pants whenever an idiot opens his or her mouth. If they get their way (and they won’t, they’re getting too crazy even for the GNOP), will we call our new idiocracy Glennbeckistan or Rushia?
November 11th, 2009 at 8:40 pmLindsey Graham, this is your Party, the one you presided over.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:56 pmThe monster has turned on its master by the biddings of two talk show idiots. The irony, the ring master becomes the sideshow. I have no sympothy for any conservative these days.

November 12th, 2009 at 6:22 amI was raised as a proper southern republican but grew up and learned to think for myself…..more of an independent with leanings toward what the Constitution ment and not necessarily what the GOP thinks it means.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:15 amIn this case (and while I would dearly love to see Sen Graham pink slipped)the Party of NO strikes again. Those numnuts had their chance last year when he was up for re-election. Working with the other side apparently was OK then!
Thank you for your sharing.!
