Joy Reid Guest Calls Sessions a 'Confederate Attorney General'

How puerile can progressives be? Childish enough to taunt someone over his name, and even ascribe ideological views to a person based on his moniker. And here we thought liberals prided themselves on never judging people on their superficial characteristics.
On Joy Reid's MSNBC show this morning, Reid, and guest the Rev. Mark Thompson, a talk radio host and civil rights activist, made a point of mentioning AG nominee Jeff Sessions' full name: Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. The presumption is that he was named after Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. Thompson took things an ugly step further, calling Sessions "a Confederate Attorney General."

That could be called racist too; or something like that. I was looking up to see when we last had an AG from the South, etc. The data was hard to find but this is probably the best AG in a very long time.

Stupid.
A Confederate Attorney General would be a Democrat.

Great name!
The fact that it helps liberals foam at the mouth even more--twice as nice!

No kidding.
History and facts arent really their strong points.

And the race war just ticked up another notch. Great work libs but you really should be careful what you ask for; you just might get it. Then what?

That is either a compliment, an anti-Semitic slur, or an idiotic statement. Judah P. Benjamin was a fine man, and Sessions should be proud to be compared to him.
Is the Jefferson after Davis, after Thomas, or after both?
As to Joy Reid and Mark Thompson—Bless their souls.

The leftists are becoming unhinged.
It’s going to be an entertaining 4 or hopefully 8 years watching them lose what is left of their minds.
