Race-baiting douchebags say what...?

Media Matters For America, the non-profit research and monitoring group, compiled a video of comments fromthe right, accusing Judge Sotomayor of being a racist, along with other "racist" accusations.

This is hysterical. Notice the ones crying "racism" are all white folks afraid of the change already happening. "Save us from progress"


Congratualtions to Sen. John Cornyn for repudiating the comments of Limbaugh and Gingrich

One of the top Republicans in the Senate, John Cornyn, is repudiating recent comments by Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich which claimed that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is a racist.

Cornyn, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told NPR's "All Things Considered":

"I think it's terrible... This is not the kind of tone any of us want to set
when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advise and
consent."

Cornyn dismissed Limbaugh and Gingrich, adding: "Neither one
of these men are elected Republican officials. I just don't think it's
appropriate. I certainly don't endorse it. I think it's wrong."

Lawrence O'Donnell hammers Liz Cheney on waterboarding

1) He hits her on her (and her father's) contraidctory positions
2) What kind of person sends his daughter out to defend him? Why doesn't he engage the national media himself? (the answer being obvious)

Boehner and Gingrich forced to admit: CIA has lied to COngress before

(Daily Kos)
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, House Republican Leader John Boehner conceded that despite his attacks on Speaker Pelosi for accusing the CIA of lying to Congress, he too believes that the agency has lied to Congress.

Boehner said the CIA had lied to Republican Congressman Pete Hoekstra last year about the 2001 downing of a plane in Peru carrying an American missionary and her daughter.


...and Newt Gingrich:


So why all the mock outrage over Pelosi suggesting that the CIA lied to her about waterboarding? It's not like the CIA hasn't lied before. That being the case, the only reasonable explanation for the outrage is that Boehner and Gingrich are hypocritical douchebags and the GOP as a whole has absolutely nothing else to offer America.
