DEMOCRATS PLAN TO DESTROY ALITO
Senate Democrats have put into place a plan that includes one last push to take down the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito as he heads into his confirmation hearing next week, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Senate Democrats intend to zero in on Alito’s alleged membership to an organization, they will charge, that was sexist, racist and way out-of-the-mainstream.

Democrats hope to tie Alito to Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP). THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a Summer 1982 article from CAP’s PROSPECT magazine titled “Smearing The Class Of 1957” that key Senate Democrats believe could take him down!
MORE In the article written by then PROSPECT editor Frederick Foote, Foote writes: “The facts show that, for whatever reasons, whites today are more intelligent than blacks.” Senate Democrats expect excerpts like this written by other Princeton graduates will be enough to torpedo the Alito nomination. One Democrat Hill staffer involved in their strategy declared, “Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.” However, a Republican insider contacted about the situation said, “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The reason CAP was formed was to protest against people like Drujack who think killing chickens is similar to what happened at Auschwitz. I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito.”
The star witness on the Senate Democrats newly unveiled witness list for Alito’s hearing is freelance journalist Stephen Dujack.
Dujack is a ’76 Princeton graduate and a longtime critic of CAP.
Dujack was the author of a highly critical 1986 op-ed in the PRINCETON ALUMNI WEEKLY titled “The Contradictions Of CAP.” Dujack slammed the group for its policies opposing Princeton's decision to admit women and minorities.
Dujack now says: "Judge Alito will have to explain to the Senate Judiciary Committee why he paid dues to an outfit... that was overtly racist and sexist for its entire 14-year existence — at times passionately so, too."
However, THE DRUDGE REPORT has learned the Democrats’ star witness comes with baggage of his own. Dujack penned an op-ed in 2003 that compared farm animals to Holocaust victims and gave money to the Kerry presidential campaign.
In the April 21, 2003 LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dujack wrote: “Like the victims of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to the kill floor and slaughtered.” Dujack went on, “To those who defend the modern-day Holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: if the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder?”
THE DRUDGE REPORT has also uncovered a purported $2,000 donation Dujack made to John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004.
Developing....
One Republican strategist warned, “Democrats plan on making this hearing all about personal smears. If their star witness to do this compares eating a Big Mac to what the Nazis did during the Holocaust, they better rethink their strategy.”

I read the whole thing. Very weak. If this the best the Dims can do, BRING IT ON.

This is hilarious. Will we get more scoldings from Barbara Boxer? That's all we really need to tune in for.
CAP was not critical of minorities being admitted to Princeton - they were critical of special preferences for minorities (affirmative action).
That is much much diferent than opposing the admission of minorities.
There is a lexus nexus doc that has a letter to the editor by this DuJackoff fella.

Most activity starts around 2 months ago when searching. They have just started seeding these stories maybe back dating them so they look like they have been concerned for a long time.
It all will depend on how stupid and gullible the electorate can be.[re Dem election prospects}
Ahhhhh - Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg
The Boy Scouts?
Ha! These democrats belong to an organization with an ex KKK member in it. Referring to Sen. Byrd and the US Senate.
Too bad we have no one on our side that could ridicule this notion but I wouldn't be surprised if our side asks questions and expresses concern etc Cowards and thieves. What a choice.
21st century Democrats are a party of stupid jackasses.
It's even weaker than that! Alito was 7 years old in 1957. I wonder what "Sheets" Byrd was saying in 1957?
Let them bring it on! The public will stomp their guts out.
FROM NRO!
Dujack Again

Republican Senate staff confirm that anupdated witness list does not have Dujack on it.

They are upset with the characterization that some have done to him.
This is apparently a very unusual event.
That was gonna be my point-- some Republican(s) better have the balls to bring up Robert Byrd's past if the losers pull this crap!
Harry Reid knows that whatever ridiculous charges the Senate Democrats bring, the MSM will spread them in gigantic headlines and soundbites on the evening news.
All they need to say is that Alito is a racist, an elitist, a sexist, and out of the mainstream, and all the loyal leftist media will go with it.
So, regardless of how ridiculous this is, Bush will need to stand firm, rally his troops, and push the confirmation through. Any signs of weakness or hesitancy will be fatal.
