Limbaugh calls Sotomayor "a reverse racist," appointed by "the greatest living example of a reverse
his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh quickly went on record as proclaiming that he wants Obama Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to fail. Rush said, “Do I want her to fail? Yeah.” He also called her a reverse racist appointed by the greatest living example of reverse racism. What is a reverse racist?

3. Someone needs to remind Limbaugh of this....
Edited on Tue May-26-09 02:08 PM by LakeSamish706
If confirmed by the Senate, the 54-year-old judge would bring nearly 17 years of experience on the federal bench and a history of bipartisan appeal to the high court. She was first appointed to federal bench in the Southern District of New York in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush and was named to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals by President Bill Clinton in 1998

21. He did. I listened for like 4 minutes, and affirmative action is reverse racism, according to him,
and this was an affirmative action pick.

12. very very good
Keep it up, Rush. Having a lock on older, white Southerners is a certain recipe for electoral success. Just keep ignoring the young folks, the Hispanics, women - you don't need any of them to keep winning South Carolina and Utah every time.

17. Yeah, I thought racism was bad?
So being a "reverse racist" means that you are truly judging someone by the content of their character rather than simply by the color of their skin. Isn't that part of what Dr. King's dream was all about? I think Rush's pea brain finally gnawed its way out his waxy ear canal and escaped this morning.

24. heh!heh!heh! didn't take long for the GOP to lose control
of the dialog and throw away the Latino vote. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Guess when they accidentally released their talking points, they forgot to include Rush on the email list.

That is why, had all other factors been equal, Sotomayor is a great pick. As it is, she's a great pick in and of herself. That she's causing total chaos among the rethugs as they try to diss her without losing the Latino vote....perfect!!!

27. Apparently, if you're not entirely white and you've made it past sharecropper...
... the dread spectre of "reverse racism" had something to do with it.


:eyes:


And Limbaugh wonders why so many people wouldn't be caught dead voting Republican.

29. I Googled "Limbaugh + racist" and got over a Million hits.



That should pretty well point to who the real racist is.

31. Actually...
One thing I can still defend Democrats on is their judicial appointees; even conservatives like Clinton did a decent job here. El Bimbo fails to mention that she was appointed by Bush Sr., who in 1964 ran for the U.S. on a White Supremacist, anti-civil rights platform and who in 1987 refused to recognise non-theists as fellow citizens. If we apply The Pigman's logic, should we conclude that Sotomayor is a closet KKK member who wants to turn America into a Joel's Army-style theocracy?

He truly is the leader of the Grand Old Party.
