Within the next month, Sonia Sotomayor will be confirmed as a Justice on the Supreme Court. This, according to a series of random comments from around the web means only one thing: We’re all (all Real American Citizens, that is) DOOMED! You think I’m kidding? Here’s a sample for cow plops and giggles:
From the Y!Buzz AP blurb:
Al Franken from Saturday Night Live is questioning a Supreme Court Nominee on her qualifications…It is a miracle I am not doubled over sick.
She doesn’t need to answer any questions, she is a racist, liberal judge who whenever faced with a remotely ambiguous application of law is going to decide based on a liberal/ latina agenda PERIOD.
Do the Democrats vote for anyone that a democrat president nominates? Why bother spending the money questioning her-they could be doing something constructive like working on the economy. Maybe Al Franken could tell some jokes.
At least Al Franken is funny, unlike Rushbo or Ann “Kill all the liberals and let God sort them out” Coulter. And Republicans never vote along party lines for the nominee of Republican Presidents? I’m willing to bet if you compare the records of the two parties that the GOP votes much more “rigidly” in such circumstances than the Democratic party ever has.
The next one though, is a classic example of the paranoia that is raging over the Sotomayor nomination by true red right wing believers:
Of course she won’t tell her true feelings about upholding the Constitutional Rights of Citizens …. she obfuscates her personal agenda to gain power. True democrat form. It is nearly impossible to listen to her nonsensical answers to questions that deserve to be answered truthfully. She hopes to have a seat on the High Court and truthfulness would foil her ambitions.
Sad for the American Citizens to have another Liar running things!
The fact that Sotomayor has been a judge longer than either of the Bush nominees, won the Pyne Prize, the top undergraduate award given by Princeton, and was an Editor of the Yale Law Review just shows how damn devious these racist Latina Democrats truly are.
Here’s some more from the CBS web report:
(cont.)
Sotomayor made this a racist issue with her racist and sexist remarks.
————Exactly right! Well said.
Ever since we elected this semi-black president, we’ve seen a rise of the tyranny of the minorities.
Somebody better tell them what “backlash” means.
Word to the wise…
Word to the not wise. Implicitly threatening an armed insurrection against a “half-black” lawfully elected President is a sure fire way to get yourself on the Secret Service’s watch list. Amazing how fearful these po white folks are regarding the “tyranny of the minorities” isn’t it? Funny, they never had a problem with Tyranny when Bush and the Republicans ran roughshod over the Constitution these last 8 years.
Still these wingnut blowhards are only taking their cues from the mighty wurlitzer of conservative Republican spinmeisters as the Alternet staff have documented for us:
The craziness and incompetence on display at the hearings has been more than matched by the absurd smears leveled at Sotomayor in the conservative media. The shining lights of conservatism — Pat Buchanan, G. Gordan Liddy and Rush Limbaugh — have outdone themselves with uninformed, offensive rants about the nominee.
AlterNet has compiled the 10 dumbest, most ridiculous statements about Sotomayor to issue from the lips of GOP lawmakers and other conservatives in the past few weeks.
I’ll let you read Alternet’s top (bottom?) ten list yourself. As the Master Card slogan goes, they’re priceless.
News flash: parrots can post!
Garbage in, garbage out.
Please, don’t insult the intelligence of parrots.
<snark>
Judge Sotomayor has to be damned near perfect, and as far as background and qualifications, she is. But she is somehow suspect (we just want to know if you are who you say you are) and unqualified.
Sarah Palin is a stunning mediocrity, and of course, “one of us.” But she has a divine right to be president.
I hope all their heads are exploding. Just tell Drug Rush to clean up the mess when their done.
Geeze…when “they’re” done. That’s what I get for changing the sentence around.
Yes, there is a liberal conspiracy to deny Sarah Palin her rightful place as our new Commander in Chief.
Dubya’s best hope of attaining gravitas in hindsight ..
Most of the white folks making these comments are not “po”.
“Po folk” still cannot afford computers and libraries have time limits on use and filters on sites.
A lot of these “po” folk are libertarian-Republican IT people with personal histories in racist states.
It helps not to stereotype. You would be surprised who actually comes out with this sort of trash.
Too true. I’m often appalled at the crap I hear coming from my fellow software engineers who, while plainly intelligent enough to understand some extremely complex technical matters with ease, lack the ability to perform even the most rudimentary, common-sense thinking on matters of politics. It’s these same idiots who probably account for the majority of the insurrectionist talk, as if any of these pampered, upper-middle class weenies would even know how to load a gun, much less have the balls to point it at a platoon of Marines.
Which is almost a pity, since this far-left-wing and very experienced assault rifle user and owner was really looking forward to taking advantage of the vastly increased enlistment age limits of the US Army when Governor Perry was spewing crap about secession. All the treasonous Republican thugs you can shoot? Legally? With free ammunition? Hell, yes.
Probably better for the country in the long run, but still…
Po as I used it above was meant as a satirical rhetorical device. I did not mean to imply poor in income, I meant poor in the sense that these posters are playing the victim card, the victim of tyranny of the minorities (which is one of the more inane remarks I’ve seen).
Irony alert.
Repugs almost never, ever vote in blind lockstep.
