Who Could Have Predicted This Reaction?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I have to hand it to Obama: The man is a political genius. He nominates a hispanic woman to the Supreme Court and it took about 5.2 seconds before GOP pundits busted their prejudice nut nationally — that certainly sours the Republicans among a minority whose votes they need.

As usual, though, Glenn Beck’s comments on the matter prove to be the most precious. After claiming Obama’s thought process on nominating Sotomayor consisted of the thought, “Hey, hispanic chick lady! You’re empathetic … You’re in!,” Beck must have thought to himself, “Christ, I haven’t been prejudiced enough yet.” So he drones on:

Look, the reason to celebrate today is we have an empathetic hispanic woman. The reason to be pissed off is she’s not transgendered, and she is, you know.. She’s not handicapped, she’s not blind, she’s not in a wheelchair… I don’t know if she has any kind of chemical imbalance.

In Beck’s mind, Obama has performed a half-measure with Sotomayor’s nomination. Sure she’s a woman and a member of a minority, but she’s not transgendered. Don’t liberals stick up for transgendered people? Then isn’t Sotomayor’s nomination a slap in the face to that community! And look, the bitch dares not to roll around in a wheelchair, either! WTF, Obama?! It’s almost like you’ve nominated a white person or something! Because, as we all know, Obama and anyone else to the political left of Adolf Hitler simply panders to identity politics instead of making reasoned, rational decisions like, uh.. Glenn Beck does?

2. So let's review the list of people Glen Beck hates:

Hispanics
Women
The transgendered
The "handicapped"
The blind
People in wheelchairs

And the ironic clincher: the chemically imbalanced.

People got sick of their phony poutrage.
