…for the dumbest reasons. Now the good old boys club (aka the GOP) is trying to convince Americans that those other people are racist.

The nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court has sparked a low-level race war in the Republican Party. On the one side are those who think the appeals court judge is unqualified and a racist put forth by those who want to diminish white men. The most vehement proponents of this position are white males. On the other side are racial minorities within the GOP who think such attacks will only reflect poorly on the party.

White male conservatives, despite polling showing both the public and GOP insiders disagree, are maintaining that Sonia Sotomayor is an unqualified racist whose nomination is somehow an affront to the Supreme Court.

While a variety of conservatives from different backgrounds have expressed reservations about Sotomayor, angry white conservatives have been consistently over-the-top, offensive and personal in their attacks. The ‘racist’ claim is based on one out-of-context remark the judge made. These conservatives, meanwhile, focus largely on Sotomayor’s own race and the presumption that because she is not white, she must have benefited from affirmative action in every step of her career and thus deprived a more qualified white person of all of her successes.

Pat Buchanan described Sotomayor in a column Friday as an “anti-white liberal judicial activist” as well as a “lightweight” who “covers up her intellectual inadequacy by bullying from the bench.”

LMAO!! Damn, this is just too much. Their legacy is one of failure, torture, lie, deceit, greed and hatred of tolerance. They misled us into an unnecessary and wrong war; costing trillions of dollars and worse, thousands of American lives lost, needlessly.

It is official. The GOP has completely lost touch with reality.
No new ideas
No strategies (unless you call whining a strategy)
No leadership
No message
No policies
No plans
Next—–extinction
