It appears Mr. Clyburn is the only superdelegate that has all of his ducks in a row. taking in the whole picture ,and then deciding on his choise for the presidential nomenee is the only fair way to have a nomenee that will beat McCain.

Clyburn: follow your own advice, please.

Bravo Mr. Clyburn. All of the superdelegates should view this primary the same way you do. Your way of thinking is the only way this primary would be fair to both candidates.

NOBODY CAN MAKE PASTOR WRIGHT SHUT UP. TELLING PASTOR WRIGHT THAT "SILENCE IS GOLDEN" BY A POLITICIAN
LIKE CLYBURN OUGHT TO KNOW THAT THE PASTOR HAS FOUND
A GOLDMINE OF OPPORTUNITY ON THE SPEAKING TOUR !!!
IF THE PASTOR HELD OBAMA AS A GOOD FRIEND ,MENTOREE
AND SUPPORTER , HE WOULD NOT HAVE SPOKE SO MUCH HATEFULL ANTI-AMERICAN RHETORIC AND SERMONS IN WHICH OBAMA HAD BEEN A CHURCH MEMBER FOR 20 TEARS

Is there realy people out there that believe Clyburn or any of the rest of that bunch, including the obama, are going to distance themselves from Rev. Wright?
Each and every one of them think that the obama might be the long awaited 12TH IMAM. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Mr. Clyburn, you should be running against McCain this November.

I guess the latest Clinton e-mail talks about Obama's so called whining. Puhleaze!!!!

Clinton hs been whining, near tears, playing the victim for months.
Give me a break!

Yes, be quiet Wright, don't burst the already busted bubble. Come 'on, this guy is done.

I wonder why the media won't ask the question: Who is lying? Sen. Obama who has painted himself as an honest politician with his 'politics of change' or a Pastor???????????????

Yes, be quiet Wright, don't burst the already busted bubble. Come 'on, this guy is done.

I wonder why the media won't ask the question: Who is lying? Sen. Obama who has painted himself as an honest politician with his 'politics of change' or a Pastor???????????????

YES

Who really believes that Jim Clyburn is not already completely supporting Barack Obama? Clyburn voted in his own SC primary and no doubt voted for Obama. Do you think he voted any differently? Clyburn beats up on Bill Clinton every time Bill takes a strong stand against Obama but what has Clyburn publicly said about how Obama or his surrogates have attacked Hillary? Jim Clyburn is not neutral in this election and Bill Clinton did not play the race card. Obama played the race card in SC when Obama repeatedly told black crowds that Bill Clinton was trying to "bamboozle, hoodwink, run a hokey doke" (words taken directly from Malcolm X's statements to blacks that white America had brainwashed them) on them by saying that Obama's Iraq position was a "fairy tale". Clyburn never called Obama to task for playing the race card. (By the way, I'm African-American).

No, silence is not golden. In the prophetic tradition allegedly embraced and expressed by Rev. Wright, you must speak truth to power in love. Problem is Wright spoke his appalling truth to a power-seeker in revenge. Egomaniacs, whether politician or pastor, have a habit of self-destruction.

Telling the oppressed black man to just "shut up" eh. Don't want to hear no uppity Negro speaking the truth about the white masters.

Hey mike go buy yourself an education you really need one. If you want to be lead into a even bigger whole than we already are by someone that has lied more than any other political figure I can remember in 35 years of voting go right ahead. brainwashed people!

Go Obama 08 Yes we Can

Excellent suggestion. This old crab in a barrel, knows that he wants the Clintons to win. This is what happens when you raise a man to a position of trust thst only CHRIST should occupy. With all of the corruption in churches, it is no wonder that men of the cloth wield so little power today. I don't understand how anyone can try and saddle Obama with this mans rantings. If he should have left the church, why didnt any catholics leave the church with it's scandals. Judge not lest ye be judged.

Clyburn, Wright does need to slow down.

Also, hope you endorse Hillary Clinton..
She is experienced, for the people, and a fighter.

Rep. Clyburn is probably right on calling a ceasefire,but may be too little too late.

just when America was ready to elect its first black president, a racist minister comes along to derail him…and it can not be blamed on that white man but on that black man..

Didn't he try to pretend people who weren't racist were?

Didn't he spur the racial divide by his comments.

NOw he wants to help get Obama back into the good graces of Americans.

Maybe in 10 years.

Rep. Clyburn is probably right in calling for a ceasefire! I am of the opinion,that such a powerful legislator waited for too long.The request on Rev.Wright to remain silent,is too little and too late. There is damage done,that will take longer than the upcoming election.That is on either side of the equation.

Agreed Mr. Clyburn, Wright should just shut up and go back to doing what he does best, nothing.

People the issue is not about Wright but about Obama's decision making.
I do not see how anyone can blame Wright for Obama's decline.
Obama made the choice to go to Wrights Church.
Obama made the choice to become a very close friend with this man.
Obama made the choice to attend this church and listen to this man for 20+ years.
Obama, your choices are what put you at fault for this.
What other reason was there that kept you attending his Church and listening to his sermons and donating money to his church for 20+ years if you didn't agree on what that man was preaching.
Obama you made a horrible choice 20 years ago that you kept on making for 20 years.
And now you blame this man for your political downfall.
Pulleeaase….
I think the change that Wright wants and preaches is exactly the change you want. That is why you do not give any specifics about the change you are going to bring, because that change is a warped, racist change.
For all you Obama supporters are you seriously still trusting this man.

I wish Mr Clyburn would take his own advice and stop with the pandering!
All this poor me crap from the Obama side is just getting old!

Shame on the press, especially CNN. Talk about milking a story for all it's worth! There are so many more important issues in America than whose nutty minister said what. The bible makes reference to not being "my brother's keeper." Senator Obama has made it extremely clear that Rev. Wright does not speak for him. Enough, already.

Great Job! There are still some reasonable minds overthere.

CNN knock it off. You need to get rid of your ticker screeners and get new ones. They are biased and irresponsible.

For Clyburn, all should either chill,shut up or ……………………………….HRC all the way

I really dont understand why whites are so upset about Rev. Wright's comments in the first place. Is what he said not true?

I understand the political inconvenience and the unfortunate timing for Obama, but he opened the "pandora's box" of race, religion and culture in America. Those issues are ripe with political incorrectness, i.e. when has there ever been an open dialogue about race, religion or culture without someone or some group not being offended? Its virtually impossible.

Obama set out to do something nobody has ever done - unite this country across demographical lines. Thats a Herculian chore and a bit altruistic if you ask me. How can you do that and run a political campaign successfully?

Race, religion, culture are ripe with "moral" questions that arent suited for inclusion in a political campaign, maybe afterward as a part of the legislative process, but not while campaigning, where the "risks" far outweigh the reward.

Moreover, the voting populus is not an especially highly educated one. When Rev. Wright refers to the Tuskegee experiment, how many voting age whites even know what he's talking about?

African-American history is selective in this country and something most school districts would rather ignore or gloss over, even if its factually true.

I dont like Rev. Wrights' timing, but there's nothing "beyond the pale" in his recent speech at the National Press Club. He's asking for an open dialogue on the same issues Obama raised. He defended his positions eloquently; nor did he come across as the stark raving mad lunatic that the media has attempted to portray.

And his position that the "attack" was on the black church, not him is a stretch, but not unfounded, if you have any knowledge about black history, if you dont, then should enlighten yourself and I think thats what he was attempting to do, educate the unenlightened.

The black church has always been a "safe haven" for blacks to speak about "any" issues concerning the collective group. Now, because Barak is running for president, that should change?

Nevertheless, it wouldnt hurt for Rev. Wright to take a sabbatical for a couple months.

take your own advise FOOL!!!!!

be careful you might be the next one OBAMA throws under the bus!!!!!

go go rev wright you go. go ha ha ha

GOOD, I like Obama more after he denounced this nutcase Wright.

Who the F**K is he to tell everyone one to shut up.

some please say amen to that

Hi Clyburn
You said something about Bill Clinton Last week
What happen this week
Hillary 08

silent is golden for wright but not for him he ought to speak soon, or they will destroy Obama,

billarys dont care about a thing exc\ept power………..
history has shown that………….hisotyr will show that.

Jeremiah Wright will be back in front of camera soon
Obama I feel sorry for you
Sorry again my family votes for Hillary

Obama will be the best leader for our country. Those who want power and want to stay in power are bombarding him with negative attacks yet he maintains an even keel and continues to demonstrate superior judgment on economic issues (for example Hillary and McCain's gas tax plan that won't help) and the Iraq war. Experts and lawmakers in Congress agree his health plan is the one that will succeed.

I think it's from François de Malherbe : " Silence is golden everything else is weakness"

Wright showed his true colors. He is phony! Real preachers don't put themselves on display and then lie and try to pull down others. He's self-serving and hypocritical.

Go Obama!

And this guy had the nerve to criticize the Clintons?

He's as much of a hypocrite as the Obama campaign is!

Haha! He is really Obama's safeguard!

I think Both Obama and Clyburn should shut up!

No obama!

Clyburn is a hyprcrite…he is not neutral at all…he was celebrating for Obama's victory in SC and led the false racist accusations against Pres Clinton. Shame on you Clyburn.
The Obamanites are Cruel and Hostile and KARMA got this "W-Right".
The Obama Campaign and The Pro Obama Media(CNN and MSNBC) tried to paint a horrible picture of both Clintons with spins and Anti-Clinton rheteric and now have to Eat Crow.
The bias and subjective primary coverage that favored Obama is now HISTORY…the people are seeing through this and Indiana and North Carolina will respond to this horrible BAD JUDGEMENT OF SENATOR OBAMA. This divorce should have came years ago when Obama decided to run for the Presidency…BUT NO Obama tried to conceal this disaster and his campaign tried to re-direct the attention to the Clintons AND THEY FAILED HORRIBLY.
This is only one of many disgressions that Senator Obama and his campaign concealed…and as the rest will surface the more we will see TRUE POLITICIAN AS USUAL will surface also.
Senator Obama's smug and arrogant sexist and racist behavior has met head on with reality and not even the Pro-Obama Media will be able to save his sorry self.
If Obama was 100% White and he went to a "White Church" all of us(People Of Color) would be crucifying him but since the Church he attends is mojority "Black" it's okay to spew Racist, Hatred and Anti-American senitments. Even in it's "So Called" minimal amount of usage…that type of rheteric is unacceptable and to use the excuse that he was quoting another person(which turns out to be FALSE), you took the responsibility to put that garbage in play. Nobody made you choose that phrases to create a hostile environment.
For 20 years you knew of this behavior…You got called to the front and got caught and know you want us to believe you were misled…HOGWASH…YOU MISLED US!!

Wolf give OBAMA A REST! its getting OLD! OBAMA/08

Clyburn you should shutup, you keep on opening the race card everytime a primary is right in the corner. Guess what, Wright throw Obama under the bus after Obama toss him there. Hey! don't blame the white man or use race card again! You're doing it to each other!

This man sounds like a politican with some good old fashion horse sense and a pulse on the people. He is right. Superdelegates should not declare until after the balloting is over. I think he should have run for President unstead of Obama if black politicans wanted a run at the White House. I would have voted for him if I did not already support Clinton. i will never vote for Obama. Clinton 08

So Biased you are Clyburn.

Here is a question for the "lets move on" crowd;
If any other candidate in this election had been a 20 year member of a racist church, would you still be trying to "put it to bed", indeed, would that candidate even be in the race at this point?

Mike,

Is there anything else you can type? Or comment on? All of the Democrats need to grow up. And Wolf shut up! I have seen any real reporting since this primary started. Just tabloid rubbish geared towards one candidate. Biased reporting on all channels. Disgusting.

Wright should be sensible and listen to this golden advice….'The word of our elders are word of wisdom'. Jeremiah should just buy padlocks and seal his mouth.

How about this Rep taking his own words to heart. Silence could have been golden when he chose to dis Bill Clinton….."He needs to chill a little.." Oh no What's good for the goose is not good for the gander…make that Grander Obbama and his supporters. Heh Clyburn why don't you just shut up and let we voters fight it out?

CLYBURN == THE ARCHITECT OF THE RACE CARD !===

VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO PRESIDENT CLINTON

SHAME ON YOU================================================ MR. CLYBURN MY FAMILY IN SOUTH CAROLINA WILL NEVER FORGET !

Am I the only one who sees the obvious here? Wright who proved by his brilliant NAACP speech, that he is intelligent and articulate. Goes on TV the very next day and acts like a retarded buffoon. Come on! Wright HAD to know he was doing damage to Obama. Wake up and smell the coffee America. Wright who used to counsel the Clintons when Billary was President, is now clearly working for the Clinton campaign.

Silence is golden and we all should be about Rev Wright.

I think the writing is on the wall - Obama can never win in the general election. So if a democratic is going to win the White House, it has to be Hillary or no one.

(Please Post)

I personally believe that the NObama/Wright controversy was staged.

I believe that NObama used this farce as an opportunity to get on a platform and look emotional and apologetic to the American people.

I believe that NObama knew that he was losing momentum and needed to appeal (emotional) to the country.

NObama knew that he NEVER denounced himself from Wright, so he needed to try and do the right thing, to appeal to the Catholics, blue collar workers and white male voters that he was losing.

NObama and Wright are like two peas in a pod, this was staged I say!!!

Go Hillary!!!

Don't buy into NObamas false beliefs, he's a wolf in sheeps clothing!

Did anyone else believe that this could be?

Here goes the golden mouth of "chill out." I wish Clyburn would go somewhere, close his mouth, and CHILL OUT.

Hillary/McCain '08′

It was a Press club member who supports Hillary who set this disgrace of a press release up,why did she not stop it.Hillary is full of bull ,she was running this in the ground before the republicans picked up on this.She is so strong ,but afraid to admit she wrote the game plan for the republicans.Hillary has destroyed all chances for the democrats because of an ego and her true racist values.

Enough of Rev. Wright.

SHUT UP CLYBURN YOU ARE TALKING FROM BOTH SIDES OF YOUR ONE MOUTH. STOP AGREEING WITH CLINTON, WHOEVER GET 2025 WINS. ONE MINUTE YOU ARE FOR OBAMA NOW YOU ARE AGREEING WITH THE STUPID CLINTONS.

What integrity this man has I wish more Americans were like him.

Thank you!

We supporters know that the news-media and the Clintons are behind this!

Go Obama!

Clyburn please do us a favor and go away. We all know you are for OBAMA. You have everything to say about Bill Clinton but him being a child of God, now you want to Silence the Reverend Jerimiah Wright?

How purposterous is that? Let Americans speak freely please congressman.

Hillary 2008!

*“Please let us go forward with this campaign… so that we can chalk a way forward that will be a benefit to our children and grandchildren,” Clyburn said in a message to Wright on CNN Wednesday, telling the pastor directly he should not continue to “inject himself” into the national discussion.*

"Inject himself" like Clyburn has lately?

Silence is golden. Its ashame that Obama cared more for his pastor than his pastor cared for him.

Clyburn..better yet tell him to COOL IT! like you said to Bill Clinton. Are you about double standards as well. Bill did not and has not come close to vile and insane remarks made by Wright. Is it possible we use out of context for him. How about Mistake. Lets get real about this Mess!

good! this is a ridiculous non-issue,that idiots will use over and over to influence the election.

Clyburn should SHUT UP himself!!! GO AWAY!

OBAMA SAID HE^S OUTRAGED WITH PASTORS COMMENTS…
(PLEASE SEE SOME BLOGS BACK).

HILLARY IS SAYING "I think it’s offensive and outrageous"

I DON^T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS A BIG ISSUE AND ATTACKING HILLARY AS A MEAN PERSON WHEN BOTH HILLARY AND OBAMA SAID THE SAME…..:

DOESN^T HILLARY HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY HER OPINION…..???

The Democratic congressman is towing the Party line ! this election is so polarized and so intense that the chances of a united party is very much in doubt ! (Obama's worst enemies are African Americans) !

yeah Clyburn you don't want to ruin the chances of a Black President.
You may not be around for the next one, unless off course. Condi
Rice decides to join John McCain as our next President.

McCain-Rice. Real Americans for America.

i thought according to rules of the primary the person with the most pledged delegates wins the nomination. could rep. clyburn be saying that the rules have now changed ?

Michael and Shirley,,,I agree. Clyburn and Wolf should both SHUT UP!

Clyburn has an opportunity to make a significant impact, but he cowardess allows him to remain hidden behind the Clinton cloth. What do they have on him? Time will tell if he throws his support to Obama!!!

Has Mr. Clyburn heard about the 1st amendment ? I hope to hear more of Rev. Write's comment. Wouldn't Obama's supporter want to know more about their candidate? After all, the Rev should know Obama more than anybody, they known each other for twenty years (before Obama threw him under the bus). Let the paster speak!

It's time for the superdelegates to speak with little courage in early May; the Clintons could do irreparable damage to the party by June.

Scilence is Golden but my eyes still see, and it aint looking
good for Obama.

THE DEM RACE IS OVER PERIOD.
NEWS CHANNELS LOVE TO MAKE IS SEEM LIKE IT'S STILL ON.
WHY?
MORE VIEWERS, MORE CLICKS ON THIER WEBSITES=MORE REVENUE FROM COMMERCIALS AND ADS.
CNN, I DARE YOU TO POST THIS, YOUR STAFF KNOW FOR A FACT THAT CLINCTON STANDS NO CHANCE. YOU KNOW THAT OBAMA WILL BE THE DEM NOMINEE.

Wolf Clinton can't shut up about Wright. And Lou Dobbs Clinton, the two faced so called independant. What a biggott you are. You guys should be impeached from your jobs.

Hey Wolf,

Are you secretly in love with Rev. Wright? You can't stop thinking about him.

Clyburn you play RACE game..!!! period

Rev. Wright has done us all a favor. Continue your rantings, please and don't forget to show us some video with you and Barack holding hands and praying.

God is in the business of exposing all sin. "Every secret sin will be shouted from the rooftops" That's bible truth.

If Obama ever became President you could bet your money that Reverand Wright would be answering the phone at 3 in the morning!

Guess he figures that Wright blew the whistle on what was going to sneak through the back door into the White House. Hillary sure knows how to set up a coup d'grace. Wonder how much it cost her?

Good for James Clyburn — words of wisdom all the way around. I wish he would please explain to the other Super Delegates and media, what they should consider when making these choices and follow his wisdom in waiting until ALL the states have a chance to vote.

So, a Hillary Clinton supporter set the whole news press interview up for Rev. Wright, than Hillary goes on FoxFixnews/Oreilly to bash Wright. What a scheme. I'm voting for Obama!

Too Late Mr Clyburn. American now knows just WHO Barack and Michelle really are…. typical Black Liberation Theologist couple. They bought into the racist view until it hurt their campaign.

No Thank you!

Clyburn is NOT an UNDECIDED SUPERDELEGATE… HE is clearly an OBAMA SUPPORTER, has been and always will be.

All of his blithering to the contrary, the sole TASK of the SUPERDELEGATES is to choose the candidate who is MOST ELECTABLE! All of the other GARBAGE about most states, most delegates and most popular vote is just that: GARBAGE!

The SUPERDELEGATES are tasked with nominating the MOST ELECTABLE NOMINEE… clearly that is NOT Senator OBAMA!

gas tax holiday==insult to the intelligence of voters.

people Please, do your homework.

hillary every day you prove it more and more to me why i should Not vote for you.

obama 2008

I think he is for O. O got his self in this mess, let him get his self out of the mud. Like the old saying, BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.

ONLY NOW YOU REALIZE THAT SILENCE IS GOLDEN, YOUR MOUTH WAS WIDE OPEN LAST WEEK.

Thank you Congressman Clyburn for intelligently laying out the parameters that should be used to select the democratic candidate. All democrats, regardless of which candidate they support now, have to eventually support the individual who will be facing John McCain in November. All this ranting and raving against Obama and Clinton by supporters (some of whom seem certifiable) will end and the party will have its candidate. Let's do what we can to help him/her to victory.

Silence is golden but it sounds like Wolf is calling him out. I wish Wolf would shut up about and put it to bed already.

Clyburn should shut up, too.

Thank you.

Interesting comments from Clyburn. For a long time, and especially in recent days, I have been convinced that Clyburn has privately decided to support Obama. I still think this is true, but interesting that Clyburn is siding more with Clinton's camp on the procedural issues of the nomination.

I agree with Mr.Clyburn, silenece is golden, so NObama PLEASE shut-up!

NObama whines way too much!!!!

Go Hillary!!

Trying to un-ring a bell Mr. Clyburn?

"Don't ask for whom the bell tolls"
