A really wonderful interview...so touching at times, I cried.
Very strong interview
Rush’s commentary during the confirmation hearings was essential listening. Rush galvanized conservatives behind Thomas, and made the confirmation happen. How appropriate that he would have the opportunity to conduct such a lengthy interview.
I heard half of it and will read the rest. Great interview great man/men.
His mentioning "the nuns" back during those horendous "hearings" influenced my decision to come back to the church.
May his words blow the ghetto apart and imbue a renewed sense of dignity and honor where it is so lacking.
I'd say, "He should be president," but he's too good for that.

Justice Thomas, you're a great American.
Thomas is a very humble and good man. There needs to be more of him.
It was a wonderful interview!
Like some, I thought- “90 minutes” without Rush in real time today??!— Isn’t this interview a little lengthy to have on his radio show?”
Not so, at all! It was 90 minutes of information from a great Supreme Court Justice. Just made me respect this great man even more.
I went right to Amazon and bought his book!
Wonder when he is going to make it to full justice and get tenure. /sarc
ping for later
I've ordered My Grandfather's Son and am looking forward to reading it---many times.
I ordered the book this past weekend and it should be here in a couple of days, once they begin shipping.
Please ping me to any book report threads.
Thanks.
Thank you for the transcript. I was only able to listen to part of the interview.
I think I’m going to have to read this book - there was so much meat just in this short interview.
Try this:
“in the spring of 1970 I was involved in a disturbance to free political prisoners in Cambridge. It was in April, mid-April 1970, and after I returned, I was very shaken by what I had just done. I was out of control and felt being almost manipulated by others with larger agendas.”
” I got back to Holy Cross campus in the wee hours of the morning, and I was in front of the chapel there on my way to breakfast, and I asked God to take the anger out of my heart and if He took it out of my heart, I would never hate again — and that was the beginning of the process of trying to be far more constructive in my life”
An outstanding interview ... I understand the 60 Minutes interview is also a must-see.
Watched the 60 minutes show on Sunday night;
based on that, I wondered why he would ever want to resurrect the Anita Hill situation from so many years ago by writing his bio.
Rush’s interview placed his credentals in perspective, as did he, with the background of his grandfather upbringing, and the humiliation of his confirmation process.
Good interview. Hope Hannity does him proud!
Thank you.
i think Thomas is a great american, and definately should be THE role model for african american youth (but also all american youth too). the inferiority complex of morons like ALL of the gangster rappers makes some african american youth think that all they are good for is being a gangster, while Men like justice Thomas break that complex and make people lift their aspirations from being a gangster to a truly great person.
