You have to give it to our president: he knew what he was doing when he picked Sonia Sotomayor. The formula was simple and utterly predictable:
- Select female Hispanic nominee.
- Unwrap name of female Hispanic nominee.
- Drop nominee's name into hands of stupid white males.
- Give reaction a few seconds to develop.
- Witness explosion of rapidly expanding gas.
- Hilarity ensues.
Once the name is dropped, the foaming starts:
TANCREDO: If you belong to an organization called La Raza, in this case, which is, from my point of view anyway, nothing more than a Latino -- it's a counterpart -- a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses. If you belong to something like that in a way that's going to convince me and a lot of other people that it's got nothing to do with race. Even though the logo of La Raza is "All for the race. Nothing for the rest." What does that tell you?
SANCHEZ: Alright. We're not talking about -- we're not talking about La Raza --
TANCREDO: She's a member! She's a member of La Raza!
How do you get promoted in the Barack Obama administration? By hating white people or even saying you do or that they're not good or that -- put them down, whatever. Make white people the new oppressed minority, and they're going right along with it because they're shutting up. They're moving to the back of the bus. They're saying, "I can't use that drinking fountain? OK. I can't use that restroom? OK." That's the modern-day Republican Party - the equivalent of the Old South.
The left sees white men as a problem.
G. GORDON LIDDY: I understand that they found out today that Miss Sotomayor is a member of La Raza, which means in illegal alien, "the race" . . . Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.
