Debating the Left: Fact-Checking Tamara Holder on SCOTUS Vacancy
Townhall.com ^ | March 21, 2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on 03/21/2016 7:23:21 AM PDT by Kaslin

Please enjoy this Supreme Court-related segment from yesterday's Media Buzz wherein liberal panelist Tamara Holder (a) misunderstands my initial point completely, (b) offers several misstatements about history and the constitution, and (c) interrupts my final answer with a question -- the response to which she was not prepared for, via Right Sightings:

Guy Benson Schools Tamara Holder on Media Spin of SCOTUS Nomination
In these circumstances, one must pick one's spots, so I chose not to correct Ms. Holder on her Bork comparisons, which were incorrect both regarding the year in which that confirmation battle took place (she was off by nearly two-and-a-half decades) as well as the tone of Bork's critics.

 Her constitutional assertion was patently false, as evidenced by the text of the document itself.  And her decision to showcase her lack of awareness about the abundant Democratic hypocrisy on judicial appointments -- interrupting my concession that this sort of thing also occurs among Republicans -- seemed...unwise.  Had there been more time, I would have expanded upon the sitting Vice President's extensive 'Biden Rule' comments, or the Reid/Schumer standard from the waning years of George W. Bush's presidency, or Barack Obama becoming the first president in history to demand up-or-down votes for his nominees after having attempted to deny one of his predecessors' picks the same opportunity via the filibuster.  I'll leave you with the White House chief of staff and Senate Democrats' lame duck minority leader getting grilled over the very double standards Ms. Holder evidently had never heard about -- courtesy of the Free Beacon:

If it weren’t for double standards, the left would have no standards at all.

Hard pressed to name somebody on TV who is more clueless than Tamara Holder - Jesse Jacksons concubine. For the life of me I’ll never know why Hannitty puts her on - other than to highlight her stupidity and representation of the left.

And, she uses it quite a bit on the radio. Doesn't mean, the minds eye doesn't see her fugliness, though.

It used to be the left would send at least a “learned” liar to debate on these shows. Now that they control the government and the media they can just send out a clueless dimwit like Tamara Holder because they know the GOP won’t do anything to stop them and the average voter doesn’t care.

Butt ugly leftist Tamara Holder used to sleep with butt ugly “reverend” Jesse Jackson and has bragged about sleeping with ZERO. No one on Fox gives her the time of day but Sean Hannity.

Sources about Tamara Holder and Jackson and Obama?

If she was that desperate, then we need to show some pity to her.

If she’s just dumb as dog crap, there is nothing we can do but to use her as a foil with which to educate people.

I think she would be a nice person to have at a charity fundraising, but not to teach school.
