From the information above we can see Republicans in denial. We are not allowed to call it racism of course because Republicans hate that. In fact they hate it so much most of what we see on their cable network Fox News, or what we hear on their radio stations since the Zimmerman verdict, has been a relentless attack on all things African American. Black leaders, black communities, black culture, black blackness.Which they can’t even stop during the 50th Anniversary of the MLK speech. In fact Bill O’Reilly does little else these days other than attack African Americans.
I noticed some Republicans complaining that Senator Tim Scott and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas were not invited to speak at the MLK remembrance event.
Tim Scott is the 4th stooge in the Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee camp of Tea Party Gods. WHO was NOT ELECTED TO THE SENATE, he is only there because a Republican Governor appointed him. And my God, the man has no ears!
Clarence Thomas? You have to be kidding. He wrote in 1983 as a Reagan appointment to the EEOC that he got where he is through Affirmative Action. As soon as he got on the Supreme Court he did a 180 and has voted against it every time it has come up. He has voiced his disdain for the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. In fact he has even gone so far as to say he would not have voted for Brown v Education which integrated America.
Thomas married a white woman who is a leader in the Tea Party movement and who has taken millions of dollars from the Koch Brothers. Thomas himself has taken large gifts and vacations from all sorts of Right-wing organizations including the Koch Brothers. We have impeached justices for far less, i.e. Abe Fortas.
In response Clarence Thomas gives us the finger, he intones that no one has the balls to impeach the only black guy on the Supreme Court, so he is home free and can do whatever he wants FOREVER.
His judicial ideology is not just that Ted Cruz form of over the top Christian Right-wing libertarian gun and economic anarchy, but since Anita Hill did him in, it’s more about hating liberals, black women and the NAACP so much his hair bleeds. One of the ten most disgusting people in American politics. I give him second only to Ted Nugent.
Why Ted Nugent? It is not that he gets and erection machine gunning down harmless animals, it is that the brags that he gets erections machine gunning down harmless animals. Representing as he does that segment of America who believes that to be the moral high ground.
