      Hey Rush... actually... to any right-winger in here... yeah 'Not Fair Nor Liberal' I'm speaking to you...

      Prove that she is any of the things Rush lies about here!

      I'm so sick and tired of you disgraceful people coming in here or even on the radio or TV can make these claims without proof!

      Prove your bulls**t... or don't bother coming in here ever again!!!

        They can't prove it, hence the repetition. But I'm thinking this is more than about opposing Sotomayor. They've been dying to shout the n-word on air and I think they are gonna use her confirmation as an excuse to say they don't have to police themselves anymore. I'm betting 2009 will be the year of the n-word by the loud and proud crowd.

        I think when you have to start out with a disclaimer that you don't oppose somebody because of race or gender, you're saying more than you intend to about yourself.

        This "legislating from the bench" crap may be losing steam, as the media seem to be going with the "racist" theme now. "legislating from the bench" will eventually end up on the same dusty shelf as "Un-American Activities", "The Gay Agenda", "liberal media" and "The Negro Problem".Meaningless phrases that are only useful in one way; A signal that the person speaking to you doesn't like to think, but likes to appear that they do.

          Sort of like when someone says to you:

          "I don't hate black people. I know at least 4 of them."

          Here's a thought, Col. Taken at face value, since she was a Bush appointee, are these clowns admitting they promote racism?

            Of course not, Snoop. They never admit anything.

        You notice how QUIET the con's have been on this board every since Sotomayor became the top story? It seems even thay can't defend this nonsense.

          Sorry, Eddie, look around at the other threads. A few of them have been suckered right in.OK, none of the small group of semi-reasonable cons who post here, admittedly the most gullible zombies, but they are here.

          Even some of the most ridiculous GOP politicians and media people, the ones who jump on any talking point no matter how flimsy, are seeing through this stuff.

            Oh, I'm not suggesting they're GONE, just that the ususal suspects (AA, Fairlib, TBoone...) seem to be mum RE Sotomayor. It's like you said...

      Rush, I oppose you because you are a lying, spiteful, hypocritical drug addict...but it has nothing to do with your race or gender.

      I think these twerps are actually relieved that they can stop defending torture now. Even the drooling Right Wing Zombies were having trouble maintaining that self-delusion.

      It's much easier to call a middle-aged hispanic woman a "radical bigot." Fresh meat for the horde.

      Has Limbaugh personally ever met Solomayor for any time at all ? I remember Ann Coulter personal insults toward VP Gore and when confronted by some media revealed she never met the man. Shut her up really quick ( on that subject ). Mr limbaugh better be careful for what he wishes, for he might get it, a really angry, bigoted, and a racist woman. And Mr Turley. I thought he used the modifier " She is not known to be a intellectual heavyweioght ". I could be wrong, i didn't have my notebook with me to write down the quote.

      Now remember, the GOP's political leaders and other conservative voices will tell you that Limbaugh NEVER says anything offensive.

      And he is a leading voice for the conservative movement.

      In fact, as if we were all in some sort of nasty ugly way-back machine, Newt Gingrich mimiced Limaugh's attacks on Twitter today.

      This is the Republican party today. Looking out for the rich southern white guy.

        Limbaugh will say anything regardless of offensive or ridiculous it may be, because he tells his audience what they want to hear and not what they need to hear. It is no surprise that Limbaugh, Gingrich, the Fixxed News would say such things about the nominee because truth has no meaning to these people. Sotomayor is far more qualified than Clarence Thomas whose intellect underwhelms the legal community.

      Hmmm...First Limbaugh says President and Mrs. Obama are "angry" and now he says Judge Sotomayor is as well. And none of them are. Just transferring. Impotence makes one angry, I suppose...
