Why Are Some Republicans Afraid To Say Sotomayor Is Not A Racist?
Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Tom Tancredo have called Sonia Sotomayor “racist”, and Senator James Inofe (R-OK) has strongly implied it. To his credit, Republican Texas Senator John Cornynhas repudiated these remarks, as have Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham. But there are other Republicans lack the will to renounce them; or they truly believe Sotomayor is racist and lack the courage to say so.
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the highest ranking elected Republican in America, said he had better things to do than to renounce this kind of language, when asked about it by CNN’s John King (h/t Think Progress):
MCCONNELL: They’re certainly entitled to their opinions. … Look, I’ve got a big job to dealing with 40 senate Republicans and trying to advance a nation’s agenda. I’ve got better things to do than to be the speech police over people who are going to have their views about a very important appointment.
And Texas Senator John Kyl refused to renounce racist claims against Sotomayor when asked about it by Bob Schieffer on CBS.
Since EVERYONE is a racist to SOME degree, somewhere between 0 and 10 on a ten point scale, I think it unlikely that the GOPER’s are holding to a fact and THAT intelligent, just old and white and dinosaurs who can’t reproduce?

Graham, Sessions, and Cornyn are too smart to get into the conversation Newt and Rush are having.

Reverse racism is a charge that will keep some of its power, especially when white males such as myself are in the minority come 2034.

White males already are a minority. Heck, only about half of white people are even male. When you factor in the other races, it is quite obvious that white males are clearly a minority (and probably still will be in 2034).

Ok, when you take the total number of people identifying as white (one race)(221,457,175) and divide by two it equals 110,728,587.5. The total number identifying as black is 36,969,063. Total for Asian 12,951,215 and Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 44,019,880. So 110,728,587.5 is less than 36,969,063; 12,951,215; and 44,019,880?

If Um Cara agrees with me that white males are only outnumbered by white females then we are the biggest (not second largest) minority group in the country since white females would be the majority.

There isn’t a majority when you slice the population into such small subsets.

The modern Democratic Party is the descendant of the Democratic-Republican Party, an early-nineteenth-century political organization led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Also known as the Jeffersonian Republican Party, the Democratic-Republican Party began as an antifederalist group, opposed to strong, centralized government. The party was officially established at a national nominating convention in 1832. It dropped the Republican portion of its name in 1840.

The smart play is to accept her. Applaud her.
See, the thing is this: She is an intellectual light weight, has little legal merit to warrant her selection, is a racist herself and from many accounts, is a bully.

K: I don’t think she can be stopped so your scenario may be likely. However, a dupe can be pushed into voting a majority line so I’m not so sure her lib peers will reject OR marginalize her.

I don’t think she is a racist, but she is definitely a lightweight.

I sure hope you are right. I would hate to see her have any real influence over any important decisions the court would make.

K: An un-intellectual vote is still a vote and I think she’ll readily give up that vote to her lib peers whenever it fits her personal agenda…

Exactly Pino. I would of painted her has a political pick (which she is). You will get much more attention and traction from the middle then catering to the lunatic fringe. The right fell into the hole. Say what you want about ‘The Chairman’ (lol) it’s a pretty savy pick.

Did you take statistics in college? I’m sure you’d pass with that approach to numbers.

111 million out of 300 million is the largest number on the table.
Two groups of people:
1. 111 million.
2. 189 million.
Which one is the minority?

Tancredo is SO offended by racism:
Exec. Director Of Tancredo’s PAC Guilty Of “Karate Chop” Assault On African-American Woman
According to documents obtained from District of Columbia’s Superior Court, Epstein, 25, must appear before Judge Wendell P. Gardner on July 8 for sentencing after pleading guilty to simple assault charges stemming from an incident during the early evening hours of July 7, 2007. The documents state that Epstein was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the victim, called her the “N-word” and struck her in her head. He was briefly detained by the woman’s husband, but was able to escape, only to be arrested minutes later by a Secret Service officer who witnessed the attack. According to the officer’s statement, a friend of Epstein’s informed him that he had been drinking.
Epstein has plead guilty and will be sentenced on July 8, although he changed his plea to water down an admission of guilt into the belief that “the government could prove me guilty.” A spokesman for Team America PAC confirmed that Epstein is still at work until h Exec. Director Of Tancredo’s PAC Guilty Of “Karate Chop” Assault On African-American Woman
Good job.

Yeah like I thought. No statistical analysis here. You just say duh like since 111 million people are white males then they are outnumbered by everybody. You fool!Um Cara has even admitted that there is no such thing as a majority so end of argument-you are nuts!

So, which candidate won a majority of the popular votes in the 2000 election? How about the 1996 election? 1992?

Who cares if she is a racist? It lessens her as a human being. I just wish she could make a decision less than 3 years after hearing a case.

The answer is obvious..
And in the end destructive.
If they do not separate themselves from these comments they become guilty by association RIGHT HANNITY?
It will not matter how fair they are or how they vote they will be seen on the same page as the extremists.
On the one hand they state Rush is not an elected official which begs the question why not condemn his and others remarks?..
They are more afraid of losing the fringe of the party then minorities it is that simple.
