She's Hispanic. She's been chosen by Barack HUSSEIN Obama. And, most importantly:
She's a SHE [gasp!]
That right there, kids, is a fine recipe for complete luantic unhingement in the Land o' Freepers. Join me as I wade into the muck and sewer slime that is the comments section of the Free Republic and harvest some of the more tasty morsels of inanity, bigotry and IOKIYARism.
I bring you Forays Into Freeperville - The Sonia Sotomayor Edition.
In response to Right-wing bloviator and commentator Thomas Sowell's editorial Judge Sotomayor/Empathy vs. rule of law which compares choosing a SCOTUS justice to choosing a heart surgeon, Daisyjane69 opined this:
All I know is that, is where she was writing the opinion for the majority, she was overturned 60% of the time.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not interested in a surgeon (for example) that gets it wrong 60% of the time!
Daisyjane69 (really? Daisyjane69???) probably doesn't realize that the Supreme Court overturns 75% of lower court cases. If she's batting 0.600, she's doing very, very well. It's equivalent to a surgeon who performs a procedure in which 75% of people don't survive but 40% of her patients do. I don't know about you but that's the kind of surgeon I'd pick any day. But, come now, let's not get facts in the way of some very shocking-sounding statistics, shall we?
On the topic of Justice Sotomayor's stance on the right to choose, kenmcg gives us this tortured-spelling gem:
As wacky as it may seem....Satomayor could be a trojian horse on abortion...that very well may come back to haunt Obama and his thug buddies. She comes from a Catholic family, was raised in Catholic schools and Latinos are not in the forefront on the abortion issue.
Okay, I'll admit it, I mostly included this one because there are literally three mis-spellings in two simple sentences. At the very least you'd think he'd get the name right of the person he's writing about. Love the reference to the president's "thug buddies", too. Awesome, kenmcg, awesome.
Still talking about abortion rights, Leftism is Mentally Deranged says:
Since we haven’t heard the usual anger and hate from "women’s" groups, we can safely conclude that Sotomayor is pro-death.
Dang. They're on to us. We have tried so hard to frame it as an issue of a woman's right to choose what happens to her body but, well, they've figured us out. We actually just want to kill eveyone, starting with fetuses and working our way up to the general population. The jig is up, folks.
Referencing an AP article that observes that Justice Sotomayor would be the first SCOTUS judge with Type I diabetes, chris_bdba observes:
So are they finally admitting that she isn’t the first hispanic without mentioning that? I think the left is obcessed with "firsts"?
The AP is part of "the left"? And they're obcessed? Sounds like a medical condition doesn't it? chris_bdba seems to think if the media prints it, "the left" is obcessed with it. Interesting "logic" there, d00d.
Reacting to the same AP article FlingWingFlyer gives us some good old fashioned Freeper nastiness:
She’ll also be the first openly bigoted, racist "justice" to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. That’s pretty "historical" in itself. I guess it shows how far America has regressed under Barack the Kenyan’s regime.
Ahhh...this is the kind of comment that makes my Forays worth it. You just don't find that kind of verbal sewage anywhere else but Freeperville.
Yosemitest gives FlingWingFlyer a run for his/her money:
Racist bigot Sonia Sotomayor should be locked in jail, for life. Republicans are watching, waiting to see who's got guts enough to deserve our vote.
Dump that turkey.
I'm not exactly sure why Justice Sotomayor should be locked in jail. For that matter, I'm not sure what constitutes having enough guts to deserve Republicans' votes, either. Maybe has something to do with apologizing to Rush Limbaugh?
From elkfersupper:
I think we need the first redneck supreme court justice, then the first one with a .50 BMG collection and an adequate reloading bench.
I could go on and on.
Of course you do, elkie, and of course you could...
From Altura Ct.:
So what? She is also a LaRaza POS.
Right, because anyone fighting for civil rights for minorities like The National Council of La Raza is a piece of shit. Classy, Altura, very classy.
MissDairyGoodnessVT displays her complete lack of connection to reality with this tidbit:
she’s the first wannabe with diabetes. she hasn’t been confirmed yet and I doubt she will. the msm is just having one of the puke worthy love fests over her.
she’s no genius and she’s a racist. it’s not going to happen, no matter what people are saying now.
Poor, MDGVT. She doesn't realize that even hardcore, right-wing Republicans are certain she'll be confirmed. How's that LaLa Land thing working out for you, MDGVT???
A little more classiness from beagleone:
So what, Obama is the first president to suffer from a microphallus condition, but I don’t see the media making a big deal over that.
I think beagleone is a well-educated sixth grader but I could be wrong. Might be seventh grade.
Speaking of classiness, howzabout this piece of garbage from muir_redwoods:
Is there some sort of rule that requires that all leftist women on the SC need to be ugly enough to scare a blind dog off a meat truck?
That dumb B!tch fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Just in case you ever find yourself stranded in Freeperville without a map, here's one bit of advice that is invariably correct: if they resort to calling you ugly, they have absolutely no argument whatsoever. It's a law you can count on, I swear.
Hetty Fauxvert doesn't think much of Ms. Sotomayor:
She’s not only racist, she’s stupid. Ya know what, lady? If you’re going to make a nasty, racist remark, do NOT do it on the record where it will dog you to the end of your days. Duh.
She should be disqualified for sheer stupidity.
506Lake thinks Justice Sotomayor is dumb, too:
Newt nails it. He’s spot-on with this one. Sotomayor was put on the District court by George HW Bush. Figures. Setting aside her obvious liberal bias, she is utterly inarticulate. Such drivel.
Sotomayor and Caroline Kennedy have much in common. They both can’t string a coherent sentence together without saying ummm. She also may NOT bring the firepower that exist on the high court now. That is good for us.
Right, Hetty and 506Lake. Despite this legendary stupidity, though, she managed to rack up quite a list of accomplishments...
From the WikiGods
Sotomayor graduated with a B.A. summa cum laude from Princeton University in 1976 and received her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1979, where she was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. She worked as an Assistant District Attorney in New York for a time before entering private practice in 1984. Sotomayor was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush in 1991 and confirmed in 1992...In 1997, she was nominated by Bill Clinton to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. After more than a year, she was confirmed and joined the court in 1998. Sotomayor was an Adjunct Professor at New York University School of Law from 1998 to 2007 and has been a lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School since 1999.
Yup. Stupid.
Here's some fine comedy from AlanGreenSpam:
These worshippers of so-called "Affirmative Action" are worse than the garden-variety racists.
Rather than individuals being racist for their rational & irrational reasons, these FASCISTS want to use THE STATE to force their RACIST objectives on our society. Can you say "Big Brother...???"
I don’t want my government looking at my skin color. Period.
Are these Libbies so stupid that they can’t even understand the simple point I just made??
[wipes away tears of mirth]
Again, we have wisdom and total fear from Altura Ct.:
It is past time we as white people stand up and be counted our they will grind us and this country into the ground and to this point they are being very successful at doing so. Meanwhile they spout all kinds of crap that they know will manipulate way too many on the right who are afraid of their own shadow when it comes to race. They shy away from it because they have been trained and browbeat that whites and ONLY whites must never see thing from a racial perspective no matter that our countries politics, laws and culture is being destroyed and permanently altered all based on the very same race issues that are supposed to be taboo. Funny how that works. We have got to quit running and stand up for the preservation our everything that was passed down to us through blood sweat and toil.
Anybody with eyes can see they they only play this one way and thy way is the destruction of whites and Western culture.
Poor white people. Poor, poor, misunderstood, discriminated-against, shit-upon white people...
An American Thinker editorial points out that Justice Sotomayor attended Catholic school:
Her father died when she was 9, leaving her mother to raise her and a brother. In speeches to Latino groups over the years, Judge Sotomayor has recalled how her mother worked six days a week as a nurse to send her and her brother to Catholic school, purchased the only set of encyclopedias in the neighborhood and kept a warm pot of rice and beans on the stove every day for their friends.
This, of course, is cause for much derision from the Freepers of Freeperville. For example, healy61 has this classy observation:
I see. Another sad butt story with a silver spoon protruding.
Unfortunately for the Freepers, freeangel points out this little bit of Catholic school trivia:
When I was a kid, Catholic schools were free or almost free as a member of that parish.
Oops.
lilylangtree seems to have "facts" none of the rest of us have:
Of course she avoided public schools. She got to school based on her being "hispanic" while some other intelligent caucasian student couldn’t get through the front door simply because the student was white yet it was that student’s tax dollars that paid for sotomayor’s highly expensive private schooling.
Wow. How far up your ass did you have to pull that from? 'Cause you clearly just made that shit up. Totally. Oh and, by the way? Justice Sotomayor isn't "hispanic". She's Hispanic. It's a real thing, not just something you throw quotes around because it's meaningless, you fuckwit.
Liz has some choice words for Hispanics in this country:
Here we go-——since when is the USSC a vehicle to shore up one’s self-esteem?
Watta buncha parasites. These whiners can’t make it on their owm——US citizens have to subsidize their every whim.
Now we are forced to destroy our freedoms amd eviscerate our culture so these people can "feel good about themselves."
Disgusting.
That's brilliance, pure and simple, kids. I don't know what the fuck Liz is talking about but I'm sold. [dramatic eyroll]
Liberty Ship wants PROOF Justice Sotomayor is smart. The Obamas, too:
What is her IQ, anyway. I have to keep hearing about how brilliant these people are, like the Obamas. I want numbers. Sotomayor took the SAT in the years that the SAT still provided a relatively good map to IQ.
Let’s see some numbers, for her and the Obamas!
Right. Because becoming the POTUS & FLOTUS or being appointed to the SCOTUS aren't proof enough. Whatevs...
Charles Martel has a bead on Hispanic people:
One of my co-workers, a Hispanic woman in her mid 50s, commented on this today. She's convinced that Sotomayor has an illegal maid, lawn guy, or other tax problem lurking out there. Her reasoning: Hispanics with a bit of power and money in the U.S. always want "domestic help" - and they won't hire anyone but Hispanics.
I hadn't really thought of it that way, but she's quite probably correct. The question is, did Obama's nominee bother to cover her own tracks?
If there's one thing you can say about Hispanics, it's that they are all exactly the same. Well, at least according to Chuckie Boy...
FreeShop1 edumacates us about being a summa cum laude graduate from Yale:
As an Summa graduate of Yale, I can tell you it isn't that hard to achieve this. You just have to study your ass off and stay up all night for like 3 days straight at finals. It doesn't mean you're some kind of genius. You just know how to take a test.
Got that, kids? It's EEEEEEEAAAAASY!!!
jakerobbins sums up the whole premise of Freeperville, so far as I can tell:
I’m sick of these "Smart" people already....Can we please have the "Dumb" folks back that don’t tax us to death?
Fear of the smart is truly a hallmark of Freeperville. That's another one of those things you can take to the bank.
More Good ComedyTM from freebird5850:
Obama put her there as a "plant" to glean information as to what the SCOUTS is considering regarding the multipule lawsuits regarding his citizenship. Liberals are corrupt.
I honestly can't tell when they're being serious and when they're joking sometimes...
From tiger63:
Don't kid yourself, this Dumbo was given her degree by affirmative action requiring no study, no class attendance; this accounts for her lack of qualification.
Call me crazy but I actually think tiger63 believes this shit.
And, finally, Carley "goes there":
I think she’s a three-fer.
hispanic
female
lesbian
Thanks, Carley. I was wondering when someone whould call her gay. You didn't disappoint.
Well, that's all for today. I have a conference call with David Plouffe and our President to get ready for. I have to shower because I can't show up with all this oogy stuff all over me. Enjoy your day and have fun in the comments.
UPDATE: I have discovered a sure-fire antidote for Forays Into Freeperville. I just got off an hour-long conference call with none other than the President of the United States along with several thousand other OFA volunteers. He, along with Mitch Stewart, David Plouffe and a host of other OFA leaders and volunteers are ramping up their grassroots efforts to push for solid healthcare reform this summer. If you haven't already, I heartily encourage you to host or attend a healthcare House Meeting this summer and to get involved. We'll be phone-banking, we'll be canvassing, we'll be talking to our friends, coworkers and neighbors. Just like during the election.
Go HERE for more information. Please chip in. It's very important. Way more important than snarky diaries about clueless Freepers for sure.
