Read over the weekend at a local anonymous leftyblog, essentially labelling any criticism of Sonia Sotomayor as one form of “racism” or another:<\/p>\n
But you know what? Count me among those who think that she is<\/span> a bit better than the white men out there calling her unintelligent<\/a>, lazy<\/a>, fat<\/a>, unqualified<\/a>, racist<\/a>, an irresponsible spender<\/a>, ugly<\/a>, and arrogant<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’d be the first of those links.\u00a0 You’ll note that in no way do I call Judge Sotomayor unintelligent – anywhere, at all, much less in the piece linked above – but merely point out some commentary wondering she’s a bit of a professional lightweight for the highest court in the land.<\/p>\n
Of course, as we’ve discovered in the past four months, dissent and skepticism about government is not <\/em>the highest form of patriotism after all, but in fact one form depravity or another, whichever is convenient.<\/p>\n
But as we’ve seen, in this anonyblogger’s post as well as some of the comments in my post, Sotomayor is serving the only purposes Obama really has for her nomination; to serve as a sop to female and Hispanic voters, and give the left a shrieking point, an ugly strawman to use to demonize dissent.\u00a0 Just like with Obama himself.<\/p>\n
Oh, yeah:<\/p>\n
