Senator Graham Says Sotomayor Is No Racist
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | June 1, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 06/01/2009 9:15:16 AM PDT by Welshman007

Stating flatly that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is no racist, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) gave a clear indication that the first Hispanic nominee for the Court will have smooth sailing in the Senate, even from Republicans.

According to The Hill, Graham provided this interesting exchange which depicts his clear-as-mud thinking on this issue:

Interesting...

If you try to email Graham through his website, you get this trite reply that they dont pay any attention to anyone with an address outside the state.

I would given a brass ball award to any senator who made the following statement during her hearing:

I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a latina female who hasn’t lived that life

Would the media call this a racist statement? Would she feign shock and indignation at such a statement? Would she dispute the statement?

The best way to find out if her statement is a racist one is to make her a white woman and see how it would hold up.It would be shot down in less than a second.

I wouldn't feel too special, since he pretty much ignores his SC constituents with “canned” auto replies.

Graham reminds me of a RINO John Kerry every time he “mentions” he’s a JAG-off(icer).

Or perhaps even a non-racist group that desires to make a point.

Just take all La Raza’s nonsense and change “Latino” to “White.”

“John McCain has Lindseys testicles in a box.”

Lindsey is a RINO without the help of McLame. We are better off without these RINOs even if it means more dems. The federal govt is an unstoppable beast - the GOP is nothing more than dem-light - they are all infected with lobbyists and endless power. We need to revolt by telling the feds to go to hell - every state needs to enforce the 10th amendment.

While the GOP has been dead for quite some time now.

The response to the selection of Sotomayor has absolutley confirmed it.

Racist: 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

Not differences in human character or ability but superiority in character and ability, which is what Sotomayor is saying.

Graham is out to lunch. She is a member of La Raza and they are a racist organization.
