Mr Giiiii-ngrich.

Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

I think Newt really, really doesn't want the presidential nomination, and is making sure he doesn't get it.

Do you think he's been hooking up with his party leader's doctor for an Oxycontin scrip? It would explain a lot.

Anyone discussing any link to KOS is a Lib and should therefore be ignored. KOS links automatically invalidate all arguments, no matter what ridiculous behavior they describe.

would YOU want someone on the bench who belonged to an organization that had the motto 'For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada'?

If you're a member of that race, i'm sure you'd be ok with it. everyone is gonna wonder tho.

You are mixing up the Raza Unida Party with the National Council of La Raza (new window). Same as Liddy and Rush.

The one Sotomayor is part of is the benign, charitable one. Not the race above country or party one.

Great, one group who would blindly defend whoever obama picked is upset with a group who would blindly attack whoever obama picked.

 
DoWhatNowToWhat 2009-05-29 07:53:23 PM  
And he does this by starting off his email by quoting Martin Luther King.

He also goes on to say this:

True justice is blind. It does not consider one's religion, wealth, race or in this case sex, family origin and ethnicity. To do so would be unjust.

To put someone on our nation's highest court who believes these traits should be considered in cases before the court, would be wrong.


I hear MLK Jr spinning is his grave now. I wasn't aware sotomayer was elected because she was solely a women who didn't service any time on the bench.

/also LOL WTF?

 
Cup_O_Jo 2009-05-29 07:53:47 PM  
Of course no one get's that he means that she IS A RACIST. And Civil Rights means nothing with her on the bench. But whatever libs.

 
rppp01a 2009-05-29 07:54:58 PM  
Fine, Newt. Then succeed again. Then the rest of the nation can kick your ass again and this time do it right.

And they called those who weren't lock step with Bush anti-american.

me_the_farker 2009-05-29 07:58:09 PM  
I'm getting so sick and tired of hearing about these people who in the end get no vote in deciding whether or not she sits on the bench what so ever.

Media, please give your airtime to people who actually matter and not people who are getting free airtime till 2012.

No. Racists have no place on the bench.

What organization are you talking about? It doesn't appear to be NCLR.

 
Britney Spear's Speculum 2009-05-29 07:58:38 PM  
Tom Tancredo said something about La Raza being like the KKK. That is incorrect. He should have said they are a race supremacy group. They are non-violent but they are a race supremacy group.


My FSM, the GOP fails even in their attacks which just obfuscates the truth even more.

Oh, and by Tancredo's logic any group would be equivalent to the KKK.

The difference is that Weaver might be making a mistake. Liddy and Rush are doing it on purpose.

Wow...I actually didn't know that.

Obama & Co really need to play the PR better on this. I think they're taking a bit too long before the "listen, children, this is how it is" reveal.

Maybe before Congress.

He did the exact same thing a couple years ago. I don't know if he's intentionally being stupid, or what.

It was the first occasion I noticed he has difficulty admitting when he's completely wrong.

Here's the thread:

Her opinion is that Hispanic people are better than white men. This make her a bigot. When and if a white man is sitting in her front of her she is going to have a biased opinion. If a hispanic is sitting in front of her she will have a biased opinion. She would never be called for jury duty having made that statement. Bias is bias. Can not make a ruling if your going to have biased opinions.

Holy damn! I've taken a break from reading much about politics for a couple of days. I was getting tired of the idiocy. Looks like I'm going to have to take a couple more days off.

And, no, I don't expect the idiocy to go away. Or even abate for that matter. I'm just hoping my tolerance will grow again.

unlikely: The difference is that Weaver might be making a mistake. Liddy and Rush are doing it on purpose.

I'm more inclined to believe the same. I will give Weaver the benefit of the doubt. It has been such a loudly blasted talking point from every corner of the right that it even moderately neutral observers can forget to fact-check. But this one is way, way wrong and needs to stop now.

As for the "but she IS RACIST" crowd, there is no reasoning or talking like adults with them. They just bray the same crap over and over, hoping that repetition will bring truth. When called on to back it up, they just hop to the next thread.

 
ScouserDuck 2009-05-29 08:06:22 PM  
How about a giant FAIL for the authors take on the reasons the civil war was fought

the Civil War, fighting to give women and blacks the right to vote, and ending discrimination..

Definitely FAIL

 
Franco 2009-05-29 08:06:42 PM  
Who said the Republican Party is party lacking ideas. As Newt so aptly demonstrated the Republican Party is still a party of ideas, very stupid ideas.
