On 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?
Here is the audio from Media Matters:
Limbaugh said, “Here you have a racist. You might want to soften that, and you might to say a reverse racist, and of course libs want to say minorities can’t be racists because they don’t have the power to implement their racism. Well those days are gone, because reverse racists do have the power to implement their power, Obama is the living greatest example of a reverse racist and now he has appointed one, Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.”
What is a reverse racist? I know that he is playing off of the term reverse discrimination, which is where policies designed to combat discrimination actually discriminate against a non-minority. Wouldn’t a reverse racist be the opposite of racist? This is gibberish. Later Rush proclaimed that he wanted Sotomayor to fail, just like Obama is going to fail.
The buzz words that Limbaugh is trying to attach to the Sotomayor nomination is reverse racism. By the way, I would love to ask Rush how a man who is half white and half black is a racist? This too, makes no sense. The claim that Sotomayor is an activist judge can be leveled at any federal appeals court judge, Republican or Democrat. Every time the federal court of appeals reverses a decision they adjusting policy in some manner.
If this is going to be the Republican argument, it is not going to hold up well.
Unless there is something devastating in her background that would cause Democrats not to support her, she will be confirmed with relative ease. The hypocrisy here is that Republicans love activist judges when they are Republican activists. The truth is that powerless Rush Limbaugh’s illogical rants will not derail Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination.
Any white male out there who said they were more qualified than a minority because of their sex/race/origin would be labeled a racist so fast your little head would spin, but when it’s a minority saying it, you want to pretend like it’s all fine and dandy. What a joke.
Tard instead of believing in everything fuck news says maybe you should investigate a little. What she said is “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” In the context of which this quote was spoken you sir are the racist when a white man tries to tell a community in which he does not live in nor has no experience what that community is facing how could he pass any judgment.

the sentence wise Latina woman makes no sense even for a ghetto thug. I am a sort of white male that is married to a latina, therefore she is a woman (I am a man and Latina means woman of latin decent from Latin America I joke because Italians where the Latin word and language comes from are considered white?) Either way it is a completely bogus pick. There are currently three judges on the US 1st appellate court that are getting completely overlooked because of gender (not race). What garbage! Also the person who posted as Tard!!!! unless that is your god given name grow a set and post under it like any human should. Instead of saying and complaining about nothing the original post said you fascist sphincter.
I am a male of Czech, Italian, Ukrainian, and Polish decent, my majority side is Italian. What makes someone mroe a Tard then to be a fascist racial declensionist such as yourself. I fought against Nazi’s in Germany and they are the lowest form of life next to someone that declares that any race is worse then their own. I am married to a Latina, not a Latina woman, there is no need to show her gender when woman is added. Apparently you are a complete idiot leftist loser who probably has a good government job. I am currently unemployed because you college kid idiots have a better resume but are so quick to judge. GFY (not good for you).
We need to rise above such attitudes, minorities are not the only people to live in poor areas, many of Americans have had to from time to time. This is no reason to sling mud in any direction. We must focus on the best solution to save our country the United States of America from Socialism or worse leanings.
“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
This quote is a lie.

Here’s your proof she’s racist, you pathetic leftist idiot.
You sir are a fucking pathetic little sack of shit with nothing to do but bitch all day and cry all night while trying to push your shit views onto everyone like a lonely fat girl jumps on a man for his cock. Go fuck yourself with an aged worn out unwashed vibrator you found in your mother’s kitchen.
