Rep. James Clyburn accused protesters who opposed the Obamacare bill of being engaged in terrorism in an interview with NPR. He likened the protesters to the KKK and slandered the Republican congressmen who waved flags and spoke to the crowd outside the capitol building last weekend.

Rep. Clyburn should immediately apologize for his incendiary remarks and his slander of those who came to Washington to voice their concerns about the Obamacare bill. When a congressman labels someone a terrorist, that is a serious and harmful accusation that should not be taken lightly.

Call Rep. Clyburn at (202)-225-3315 and ask to speak to his press secretary. Ask him whether he will be retracting his statements, and issuing an apology to the 40,000 protesters that gathered outside the capitol building last weekend. Please let us know what kind of response you get by emailing them to krombach@freedomworks.org. We must defend ourselves against baseless attacks and accusations meant to silence our voices.

By the way, I encourage everyone in the media to watch the footage from the huge 9/12 Taxpayer March on Washington last year. Note the number of African-American speakers and their reception by hundreds of thousands of protesters. Kind of destroys the whole racism charge, doesn't it?
