Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., today called current U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "abomination" when compared with the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
Marshall, the first black appointed to the Supreme Court, was the lead litigator on the historic 1954 school desegregation case and, as a justice, a champion of civil rights. He died in 1993.
Thomas was the second black appointed to the Supreme Court, and he succeeded the retiring Marshall in 1991 after being nominated by the first President George Bush. Thomas' televised confirmation hearings captured the nation's attention when Professor Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment, a charge he denied.
As a justice, Thomas has been a staunch conservative who supports states' rights and opposes abortion and affirmative action.
Salazar's comment about Thomas came during a telephone news conference in which said he would not be part of any possible Democratic filibuster to stop a vote on the confirmation of Samuel Alito as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meanwhile Salazar isn't fit to wipe the abomination from the bottom of Justice Thomas's shoe.

More simply put--Salazar isn't fit to wipe Justice Thomas' bottom.

Actually Salazar is the same as the abomination that I stepped in yesterday. Hard to remove and it really stank.

The Party of Criminals dredged up that liar, Anita Hill, to assassinate Thomas' character. And they wonder why they have lost credibility with the American people.

Justice Thomas is an incredible Supreme Court Justice.
Salazar is a failed Dairy Queen franchisee.

Didn't Salazar also say that James Dobson was the Anti-Christ?
This is what the lamestream media calls a moderate. Unbelieveable.

Salazar is also the guy who called James Dobson "The Antichrist."
I'm thinking there is a neatly pressed white suit in Salazar's future.

And to think that Salazar is a Senator of the United States. It was nice when U.S. Senators could at least speak with a civil tongue. We are not a third world country, but you wouldn't know it by listening to many members of the minority in the U.S. Senate.

Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., today called current U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "abomination" when compared with the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.The worst aspect of this fit of sycophancy is that it was simply unnecessary. I guess it's a bid for the creepy left bucks.

Just when I think the radical left can't possibly sink any lower, they surprise me.
No Supreme Court Justice has ever endured the abuse that Clarence Thomas has. They have done everything short of calling for his assassination.

Justice Thomas has proved to be a jurist of rare wisdom and unimpeachable integrity. We are very lucky to have him on the court.
Its too bad that Mr Salazar feels it necessary to deny Mr Thomas the right to conservative convictions because he happens, per chance, to be black. The racist left can't stand it when people refuse to stay in the place they have assigned them in our society. This "moderate" Democrat makes me sick.

Thomas will be a Justice much longer than Salazar will be a Senator.
We win. Salazar is a Loser.

To bad its a Ken Salazar instead of Ben Salazar. Then we could simply use his initials to say that we think he is "B.S."
To: jazusamo
You are so right,and so much for the Senate being the civil
half of the Congress.At least until we vote these unsavory types out.
