It was inevitable. George W. Bush was eventually going to nominate a Supreme Court justice. The resignation of Sandra Day O’Connor is the moment the right wing have been waiting for. Actually they didn’t sit around waiting. They made it all happen when they stole the 2000 presidential election.
Bush may be inarticulate and suffering from some sort of learning disability but he is a very shrewd politician. Just as Thomas was a replacement for a black justice, O’Connor’s replacement will probably be female and to add icing to the cake may also be black.
...
Many years have passed but our memories should not be swept under the rug. If Janice Rogers Brown is the Bush league choice the black community should be unanimous in opposing her nomination. Stories about share cropping families should not be allowed to sway us from speaking out against this truly horrific woman, who said:
“In the heyday of liberal democracy all roads lead to slavery.”
That statement is so bizarre that it can only be called insane. If Brown thinks that freedom is slavery she should have added that war is peace. As BC pointed out, Bush-approved blacks are always crazier than their white counterparts.
...
Young or someone like him will tell us that nominee X is a fine jurist, a good person, and will make the race proud. So what if he or she is a Republican nominee? Most of us would rather sell our first born than support a Republican and election results prove it. But if O’Connor’s replacement is black too many of us may be willing to forget that fact.

lol. Ya made me look.... Black Commentator and George Soros
Instead, 527 outfits jump-started by super-rich, Bush-averse benefactors like George Soros (net worth: $8 billion) dominate the street action in Black precincts throughout the 17 campaign “battleground” states. Paying $8 to $12 an hour for door-to-door canvassers, the New Jack 527s have supplanted (usurped might be a better word) the electoral functions previously performed by mainstream Black organizations such as the 84-member National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP), chaired by Patricia A. Ford. “The people who are doing the work are the community – only they are working for 527s,” said Ford, the former executive vice president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
With more than $80 million in funding, the Soros-backed voter mobilization 527 America Coming Together (ACT) has assumed leadership of the African American electoral army. The de facto commander is ACT CEO Steve Rosenthal, former AFL-CIO Political Director.
One link in search I found to be most obvious and intriguing:

But I would be remiss if I didn't post here, Black Commentator's support and address of D-Cynthia McKinney's comments post 9-11: Black Commentator and Cynthia McKinney
On March 25, Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney appeared on a public radio program in Berkeley, California. She shared her thoughts on the September 11 bombings, including her belief that some U.S. agencies had prior knowledge that attacks were planned. McKinney pointed out that individuals and corporations with close ties to the Bush administration have profited in the wake of September 11.
Not until April 10 did some version of her remarks appear in the Washington Times, the ultra-right, Moonie-Republican newspaper that is a favorite at the White House. A media storm erupted.
Nah - no barf alert in title; and because the left is overly preoccupied with barfing. I really don't wish to supercede on their turf in this regard. ;>
Thanks for the great job of researching.
I like your research too.
Search rules re finding out who is behind a vile hit article:
#1. If it is an individual due a Yahoo search with the name of the writer and gay to see if there is a history of pushing the gay agenda and bashing our president.
#2. If it is coming from a group, do a search on the group and Soros.
Often both 1 and 2 are proven in the searches.
The libs idea of freedom (speech codes, hate crimes, affirmative action all with the two major components of group rights and cries of discrimination of all that oppose) is indeed a road to group think slavery. In regards to war, history has shown that wars brought to completion by democratic nations are always followed with peace until the old lessons learned are quickly forgotten. Wars that free people from bondage and allow a semblence of free speech and press, property rights, freedom of religion do conclusively create peace.
Freedon riders had a message of individuals rights and dignity - now it is 180 degrees the opposite.
And spare me the 2000 election was stolen. Every dem county involved in spoiled ballots, long waits etc. were run by dems whose responsibilitys were to choose how many voting machines, how many poll workers were trained, how they were trained, how they voted to change chad rules while ignoring the statutory the law that mandated starting from scratch, different standards not just from precinct to precinct but table to table and an initial vote of 7-2 on the question of equal protection violation.
So in conclusion Ms.: Shut The Hell Up!
Alia:
It grieves me that you are where you are in your thoughts and feelings, as well as the Black Commentator. The deceived are deceived and do not know it. Unfortunately this is where you are, not to mention potentially impacted by fear.
One must see slavery in more than one historical or personal perspective. Slavery comes in many forms. One of the replies to your post placed the whole context of Ms. Brown's comments in their reply, and they make complete logical sense.
A government, allowed unchecked expansion, is a critically dangerous thing and will take a downward spiral to enslavement of the people to serve the selfish, twisted purposes of government...then implode. That is what the Constitution and Bill of Rights was to do...put limits on government...not on the people.
We all must cherish and defend our rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" with respect and dignity.
The best thing is, you are here and you are reading.
Slavery does indeed come in many forms. Janice Rogers Brown was addressing "slavery" in context of bad, not constitutional laws. The Black Commentator was abusing the text -- and likening such into a very abusive definition of the very word "slavery.
Not to be outdone, I myself more than 10 years ago likened abortion to slavery -- the unborn living or not at the whimsy of the mother.
But there is another area, which I might address to those who are of the "very total" libertarian or its flipside, very total liberal bent: Just because there are taxes, does not indicate slavery.
The type of "slavery" folks like the Black Commentator writers write about I fight -- it is about world domination by a "one world government" aided and abetted by a "one world religion".
Grieving is only appropriate when there is a death. The US as a free nation is not dead.
Take your grieving elsewhere.
... and you signed up ONLY yesterday to deliver that missive about your "grief"?
I surely can be mistaken.
However, your functional definition of grieving is too narrow. Scripture talks about the Holy Spirit being grieved away by our thoughts and actions.
It is this context that I use the word.
Help us understand your mind and the reason for posting the Black Commentator piece.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Help us? What's this us crap noooobie? Alia owes no one here an explination for posting this piece.

Talk about HYPER, hyperlinked doc. Maybe its a "manifesto"? ....
Thanks for posting this article of hate and helping us to decode who was writing this hate bilge and the organization from where it came.
The hyper linking has been done by these organizations since the 2000 elections. A whacked out perverted liberal would come up with some lie about GW. Then, before the week was over every liberal blog site and organization had used the lie and sent it to thousands of their perverts.
It is these "intellectuals," with the learning disability. "Gourneys with George," "Let freedom reign." They just don't get him.
First of all, you have no idea who I am, what study I have done, etc. My joining this forum two days ago has no bearing on how new I am to the topics of discussion.
Furthermore, a cursory review of the multiple posts to the posting of Black Commentator piece demonstrates the vast amount of those who have responded...responded in the negative.
The ideas espoused by the piece do not remotely resemble that of a conservative, limited government, constitutional, libertarian turn of mind.
I believe there is nothing wrong with asking the question openly. If one wants to respond openly as has been done, one is ducking the issue. One appears as a cowardly poser.
Ok. I read through the posts by Grandpa Dave. It appears that you were beginning a new strand with research. It would have been helpful to new people to indicate this as research with some sort of lead or following comment. You left yourself open to misunderstanding.
It is my responsibility to read all the other reponses to see fellow forum posters to perceive the context of the posting, but that is assuming a lot on readers.
My apologies.
