In her most recent column in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Cynthia Tucker argues that conservative opposition to Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court is racially motivated. Normally such an assertion would cause thinking people to simply roll their eyes and move on to something a little more intellectual like TMZ, Politico or Meghan McCain’s Twitter page. However, Tucker’s column is actually worth a read because it shows just how ignorant the left can be about their political opponents and politics in general.

Because we do not support a racist on the bench we’re racist? I doubt anyone would want SoSo to be judging them.
Well, it is about racism. Sotomayor is a racist and thats why we oppose her. Very simple.
This ‘wise white woman’ knows that this ‘wise latina’ is not good for America. Was that too racist? ;)
Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination is racially motivated but it’s by the left.
Get off the race crap, you race-pushing addict.
Sotomayor is clearly both a racist and a sexist.
In a way, she’s right. Sotomayor is racist, sexist, and has no place on the bench.
Cynthia Tucker is a racist. See how easy that works?
I guess I should have said “barf alert” My bad.
From what I understand she is not a legal scholar, a constitutional authority nor does she posses any intellect at all. She is a former Congressman elected because of her skin color by a bunch of bigots that vote according to skin color, not an example of someone that should be throwing the race card around. Unless that was her stock and trade.
The leftie wackos have overplayed their hand...
I no longer respond to any claim they make that I am a “racist, sexist, homophobe”. I chalk it up to their hopeless lack of intellect.
Wrong Cynthia...everything else still applies
You do know I wasn’t directing any comment at you don’t you?
For Cynthia Tucker, racism and sexism is behind everything. No news here.
I am just so greatful that she will not get a “homerun” like Ginsburg did...97 votes??? WTF? I still don’t see FREEPERS upset with that? I wonder if Scalia helped her by getting the Republicans to vote for her. The two of them are like two peas in a pod. Although they differ on politics they travel together with each others families. I can understand not having politics get involved with friendships, but their friendship seems a bit strange.
Don't they all look alike? :)
Gee, and here I thought all the opposition to her was because she seems just plain stupid and that after about 50 years of women in law school, and maybe more, in the 21st century, we ought to have a better candidate to the Supreme Court than this soulless, humorless thing that just SITS there!!!
Strike two: Being a member of La Raza, an avowed racist organization that wants to restore Azetlan (or however you spell it) to its rightful owners, namely, Los Mexicanos, even though they'd wreck it, litter it, and basically reduce it to third world status. Again.
Strike three: Not being able to tell a senator to his face that common citizens have the right to protect themselves. If she waffles on such a FUNDAMENTAL right, then how can we trust her with anything else?
Sorry, SoSo, but three strikes, and YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!
