Congressman Scott will be replacing James DeMint, who is retiring to become leader of the Heritage Foundation.

Good news for the people of South Carolina and for the Republican caucus in the Senate. Scott is a rising star.

Will probably help Governor Haley with GOP primary voters, too.

I guess this is another indicator that there are no sane people in South Carolina.

This was disappointing. We could have done better. He supported the current SC House speaker who is Boehner level bad. And he voted to raise the debt ceiling.

Robert ... you hate black people too? You're such a racist.

Black, white, pink or green it makes no difference. I am an equal opportunity hater.

Too bad my friend Todd Kincannon wasn't appointed.

Nikki Haley kept saying over and over it wasn't affirmative action and he earned this position.

Well, he has the Republican talking points down and the religous BS down as well(bringing up the Bible thumper from Chik fil a). THis guy certainly qualifies as

I DETEST Todd Kincannon. He was the parliamentarian used to railroad the state convention a few years back. He is also associated closely with all the slimy elements within the SCGOP. And he approved of the national convention this year. In short ... f*ck that guy.

1st term black congressman appointed to senate seat after GOP has issues with minorities in 2012 election. Sounds like affirmative action to me. Now which conservatives agree?

That is probably a contributing factor. However, Scott won his House seat by defeating Strom Thurmond's son in a primary. So he has some ability. It's just that he isn't as libertarian as I'd like.

I guess you are calling him a cornball brother, Token, or something else?

Good choice.

Tim Scott has been appointed to fill the South Carolina Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Jim DeMint and immediately the racebaiters jumped in with both feet to attack him. One of the early hatemongers was Amos Brown, a host on a religious radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana. Brown used his Twitter account to claim that African American Tim Scott isn't really a black man.

Tim Scott is, of course, a Republican just like Governor Haley who will appoint him to the vacant seat. All one need be is a black man in the GOP and the hatemongers come out in force with their racist name calling and radio host Amos Brown rose early to the rote attack.

On his Twitter account (@Amoswtlcindy), Brown wrote, "Gee, courtesy of S Carolina GOP, the nation gets Tim Scott an ultra-rightwing, Tea Party devotee US Senator who's Black only in skin color."

Mr. Amos Brown calls himself a man of God and works for AM 1310, "The Light," a religious station that caters to the African American community in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Brown has a grandiose description of himself on his Twitter account: "Radio Host, Media Mgr, Columnist, Servant/Leader, Demographer, Chronicler of Indy's communities, Grandfather, Institutional Memory."

No. Not yet. Right now, I'm just seeing where you all stand on Affirmative Action.

WTF are you talking about, you sound like you really have a problem with a black man being conservative. It really gets your goat doesn't it?

He's an attorney. Counsel for the SC GOP. He's establishment, but a great person to drink with. Todd wouldn't play by McConnell rules though.

"Affirmative Action" is not all the same, and you can't honestly talk about it as if it were.

I have no problem at all with people in positions of political authority taking "personal background" (however you want to define that term) into account when filling political appointments. That does not mean that I support (or logically "ought" to support) many of the common practices that go by the name of "affirmative action", most especially in the academic and corporate worlds.

Black man, conservative, I have no problem with that. I loved Herman Cain and who could forget Allen West? I'm just trying to get your opinions on Affirmative Action. Do you think that Scott was the most qualified person for this position? Should he have taken it away from someone more deserving? Discuss.

Coming from an Obama voter? Hysterical.



Scott served 13 years on the Charleston City Council. He served in the SC State House, the US Congress and now the US Senate. He is more than qualified to assume the role of US Senator. He also has worked in the private sector and small business.

Now granted he was never a community organizer, the job that truly prepares you for a job at the national level. But not everyone can be so lucky.

The disdain leftists have for conservative minorities is appalling
