Lake Marion Bridge opponent criticized in Capitol Hill rampage
House Majority Whip Jim “J.C. Hammer” Clyburn (D-SC) lashed out at a key critic of his plans to build a new bridge crossing across upper Lake Marion. The project hit a major roadblock when it was denied a water quality permit by DHEC officials, a move which he blamed on Mike Reino, a Florence County GOP activist and blogger.Shortly after the permit was denied, there were reports of sounds of crashing and howls of rage coming from J.C. Hammer’s congressional office. Witnesses reported seeing a the wrecked pieces of a chair being flung out of a window which was claimed to be Hammer’s personal office, followed by several staffers.
According to reports, Hammer then stuck his head out the window, screaming at the staffers which were lying on the ground outside, awaiting medical attention. His comments included a string of obscenities and references to “that damn Mike Reino, it’s all his damn fault.”
Later, Hammer denied this incident, and lamented “the suicidal tendencies of my staff, who thankfully survived their falls”.
Later at a press conference, Hammer complained about Reino’s “regressive efforts in leading the opposition to this much-needed bridge project. His actions penalize the people of this region, who need the tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic development that this bridge will surely bring.”
Reino’s brief response was delivered in a hastily-arranged press conference at The Palms at Wyboo, a bar and restaurant in Clarendon County, near Lake Marion: “Yeah, right. There aren’t 100 squirrels who would benefit from that bridge”.






Who gives a damn about some pale ass cracker getting his fishing disturbed. Cry me a river.
My people need joba, and I want to get a big fat government contract for helping on that bridge.
But, you crackers keep trying to keep me down.

We were going to blow up the I-95 bridges next week, and then the US 601 bridge after that, just to make sure the two counties were cut off, and then hire Scotty and the starship Enterprise to beam just the white people across the lake.
But once again, you caught us in the darn act. Can't get anything past you, can we?
I bet your cracker ass has pointed ears.
Ty
May the force be with you.
Maybe Ty has given us an opening in the conspiracy to let folk get out an' fish that part of the lake, but leave them with a catch of poisoned fish thanks to the oil and antifreeze and toxic heavy metals from non point source pollution.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll spend all day drinkin beer in a boat.
There is nothing like showing your younging the alligators on the banks and how to fish.
Who wants Clyburn's bridge overhead?
Besides, is giving people in Lone Star something high to jump off of a good idea?
if we cannot say "nigger",
why can they say "pale ass cracker"
????
Have you ever seen a politician so hellbent on wasting taxpayer money with little or no criticism from the mainstream media?
Further, Earl, or someone, how much campaign money does the Congressman get from potential contractors on the project.
When something stinks to high heaven, follow the money, and you will find the source of the odor nearly every time. That is why we all eventually end up voting under hte influence.
