To: Alas Babylon!; All
I am so mad!..Juan Williams in Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace said that Gonzales would have been a better political move, because at least it would have scored points with the “Hispanics.” Hugrrrrrrr…. That felt like a kick in the b***.

IF ANYTHING, the only thing I am GRATEFUL for, is that he did not choose GONZALES, thanks God!!!!!..... Because that would have put me, and many here, in a very difficult situation. You I, am many “Hispanics” could care less if they elect or choose someone Hispanic for a particular office…. What we want – on my side of the ‘Hispanic-spectrum’ is QUALITY, CONSERVATIVE QUALITY. If we ever produce someone of that caliber, then I might feel proud, but the suggestion that a mediocre candidate would somehow thrill us, “the hispanics” (all painted with the same brush), is offensive. I don't know where Mr Williams gets that perception other than the fact he is black, and as we all know 90% or so, of blacks vote democratic. We hispanics are a different bunch in many many different ways.

I could say more, but I'll stop here :)

Juan Williams is talking from Democrat talking points, where race trumps rational thinking. But, race is a red herring since a black or Hispanic conservative is not acceptalbe to them.

Thanks for one good post! I know exactly what your speaking of...and I bet it did feel like a kick in the ass.

That kind of racial pandering and projection just does not cut it....ANYWHERE. It is insulting, demeaning and revolting.

It is sickening how so many people seem to think that identity politics, a subset of groupthink, is OK. It is especially sickening where we know that if perchance, Bush would nominate a clone of Thomas, the same critics would find something else to criticize the nominee for.

We know nothing about Gonzales other than the media spin on the man.

The MSM definitely does NOT want a hispanic on the bench unless it's someone appointed by the left.

Everytime I've heard anyone make race a political move, it just shuts me off. It's sickening... These race baiters can't seem to understand the basic human dignity!!!
