It is extremely interesting to see the way the complaints have swayed over the latest nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. While Sonia Sotomayor is the most technically qualified nominee in the last 100 years, all of the "action" from the Conservatives is focused on her race and her past statements taken out of context.
Media heavyweights like Lou Dobbs Tonight, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity have gone out of their way to bring guests onto their shows that blatantly try to skew the conversation. Intentionally bringing on Caucasian guests that support the nominee and Hispanic guests that oppose her, is an obvious ploy and shoddy reporting at best.
Apparently the Conservative wheel believes that we are gullible enough to quantify our beliefs and views based on color. These media outlets are playing the race card with the best of them and for that they should be ashamed.
Let's stop playing the Party game and actually look at a person's qualifications, not their political affiliations, race, or gender.
