Kennedy Calls Bush Minority Nominees 'Neanderthals'

Sen. Ted Kennedy called President Bush's judicial nominees "Neanderthals" on Friday, a group that includes Hispanic lawyer Miguel Estrada and African-American Judge Janice Rogers Brown.

Boasting of his party's resolve in the face of GOP attempts to stop their filibuster, Kennedy told the Senate, "What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States."

Kennedy's overtly racist language stunned even liberal CNN correspondent Jonathan Karl, who reported, "Strong words from Ted Kennedy suggesting that some of these nominees are Neanderthals."

Karl said Kennedy's harsh tone was "exactly what Republicans point to when they say it is the Democrats that have been the extremists on this."

I don't see how calling it racist is ridiculous.

HYPORATS call a lot sillier things racist with great applause.

We're a LOT more accurate in the spirit and tone of racism when we call SCUBATEDDY'S remark racist than when the HYPORATS use the term so broadly.

Why aren't there any Republicans who will beat the drum?

It's obvious that the Dem's will not let any minorities get appointed because they are afraid that it will benifit the Republicans. It's Racism with a capital "R"!

THESE ARE GREAT THOUGHTS AND ARGUEMENTS ON WHAT HE SAID.
BUT HE TRUELY IS A BLOATED BUFFOON BECAUSE IF YOU RESEARCH WHAT NEANDERTHALS REALLY ARE-:............
......THEY-ARE-WHITE-PEOPLE.....
Neanderthals are a subspecies of humans that inhabited only(mostly) THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT! --African-Amer. and Hispanics largely don't carry these genes. However, Hispanics do carry a very small amount from Spanish Blood.--DUh D'oh!!---By the way I'm- half white half hispanic- so call me "UG"...

Sen. Ted Kennedy called President Bush's judicial nominees "Neanderthals"

Actually, a neanderthal is someone who lies in the fetal position by a bridge, shaking and crying not because there is a dying girl in his submerged car who he has failed to even attempt to save, but because he sees his political career going out the window. The same neanderthal swims across the inlet in some demented fantasy that he could get one of his lapdog aides to take the blame for driving the car. Failing that, a neanderthal gets his family to buy off the local constable so he only gets a slap on the wrist. Actually, I take it back, comparing you to a neanderthal is unfair to neanderthals. You are nothing more than a cowardly obese alcoholic murderer with no redeeming qualities.
