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:

Any group that is for whites is, by (liberal) definition, racist and will be compared to the KKK and the Nazis. If we don’t start playing by their rules, we will be like a soccer team that shows up to play and finds themselves playing American football and facing an NFL team in full pads.

and yet there will still be some here saying that we
conservatives must adhere to their marching orders,
`cause “they’re all we’ve got.”

Phooey to that!

You're exactly right but Republicans leaders don't have the balls to speak out about anti-white racism. The Left never wanted equality, it wanted racial dominance.

If she(or BO) can get enough people to say she is not a racist, then that makes it so?

“Stating flatly that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is no racist, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham “

So are skinheads now acceptable, now that LaRaz members can be elevated to the Supreme Court?

“I’m really thinking of re-registering as an Independent.”

That is the only thing that is going to finally get through to the GOP. As long as we remain good slaves on their plantation, they can do as they wish.

You would think they would have learned from 2008.

NOBODY donated money until palin showed up as a conservative NOT A TOKEN WOMAN AS MCCAIN HAD CALCULATED. (mccain wanted a woman for the phoney puma vote)

NOBODY VOLUNTEERED, the mccain offices were EMPTY, there were few if any volunteers. People simply did not care for a RINO.

Mr. Steele is delusional if he thinks half *ssed hip hop programs are going to matter.

Gramnesty is a country club douche who has lost all contact with reality. The public is not just upset with the disconnect, we a FURIOUS over the disconnect. Furious enough to leave them to die alone in the desert.

she is a LIFE LONG racist biggot.

She has a long history of her bigotry.

It is not just her 60% failure rate in her opinions.

Would anyone hire a heart surgeon with a 60% death rate? Who would trust their family member to a doctor who has a 60% chance of killing the patient.

It makes you wonder about the 40%. Were those cases just cases where the appellat just ran out of money?

Graham REALLY needs a new, updated Funk & Wagnalls. When you look up the word “racist”, her picture is there.

When you make excuses for bad behavior, you’re just encouraging more of the same; Sonia Sotomayor needs to be held accountable for her shocking statement of discrimination against whites.

Why do the good people of South Carolina put up with this guy? He obviously has been in Washington too long.

On the other hand, she is a fat, loudmouthed, ill-tempered commie. Is that okay?
