More racial bomb throwing at the link.  South Carolina Democrats are now using the judicial process to smear Republicans as racists.  This distasteful outburst comes over the South Carolina congressional redistricting plan adopted by the legislature and recently approved by the Obama DOJ.  These comments are very similar to the outrageous comments made by Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who compared voter ID laws to Jim Crow racial legislation.  In that instance, because of the inflammatory nature of the comments, she retracted her statement.  One wonders if the Democrat leaders in South Carolina will demand a retraction from Chairman Harpootlian.  Here is an excerpt of the article: 

State Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian filed the lawsuit on behalf of six African-American voters in Florence, Sumter, Georgetown, Berkeley, Darlington and Charleston counties and said that the state’s new redistricting plans amounted to “voting apartheid.”

The lawsuit, filed against Governor Nikki Haley, the Legislature and other state officials, claims that the new district lines create a system that segregates white and black voters and essentially puts a large amount of black voters into one congressional district.

Friday, Harpootlian told the Associated Press, “The congressional reapportionment plan passed by this Legislature and signed by this governor is racial apartheid in that it segregates our state by congressional districts.”
