Wow, so left-wing zealots hung him and his family from a tree? Or was his worst fear growing up that the federal government would raise taxes for social programs?

"For all the fear I had known as a boy in Savannah, this was the first time I
found myself at the mercy of people who would do whatever they could to hurt me," the
Georgia native wrote in the book. "And the institution that had once prided themselves
on bringing segregation and its abuses to an end were aiding and abetting in the
assault."Is it surprising that Clarence Thomas (one of the more brilliant members of the Supreme Court) faced his greatest threat not from the Klan (which existed in his segregated Georgia youth), but from the people who purport to help people like him...The left? I look forward to reading his memoir as his is life is both the epitome of the American Dream and a tragedy caused by those who opposed his achievement of it. Another quote from his book:[^]
"I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult, I was
starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My
worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia but in Washington, D.C., where I was
being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in
flowing sanctimony."Wow... -- modified at 12:28 Wednesday 3rd October, 2007

No, he likes someone named "AmIChrisMcCall"... apparently some sort of identity crisis sufferer.

Good point. Fixed. However, I don't like people who relish in the thought of women being raped. Those people are classless degenerates and are why we have prisons.

Really shocking to find political opposition in DC based on sexual misconduct allegations, how dare they look into that issue! Amazing... no really, it is. Comparing this nonsense to violent forms of racism like the Clan just proves, once and for all, that he is totally unqualified for his position. "To have people just over these issues besmirch everything It's only besmirching if none of it is true.

Are you saying Clarence Thomas is unfit to be a judge? What about Greenspan? Did you read his latest book? Do you think, as a result of the book, he was unfit to be Chairman of the Fed?

There were no accusations of sexual misconduct. They were allegations of sexual harassment.

No not by our definition which is politics.
I misunderstood then. Which position are you saying he's unqualified for and why? In other news, I tried to get tickets to the Zep show at the O2, but failed. :((

Bummer, but you didn't have very good odds from what I read.

No, not at all. You were allowed 1 submission per houshold and on the first 2 days the server crashed from all the hits. I think something like 2 million applications were submitted and only 20,000 (I think that's right ??) places were available. Oh well. They're old farts now anyways (I'm still disappointed I'm not going) so I probably wouldn't have been seeing a classic Zep performance anyways. Besides, it's Bonzo's son, not him too... Still, I was soooo hoping to go...

A judge in the highest court in the land, should be (unqualified) but isn't, because we determine qualifications based on politics.
73Zeppelin wrote:

His comment is the equivalent playing of the race card for political gain that conservatives clamor about with people like Jackson because his comparison of what happened to him versus the violence perpetrated by the Klan is ridiculous. What happened to him was based on DC politics and him specifically. It had nothing to do with hatred of black people in general. What the Klan did was based on racism, oppression and hatred of black people in general. Furthermore this thread from (D)espeir is another great example of right wing CP brotherhood hypocrisy. Here the emotional appeal to racism using this lame comparison to the Klan is perfectly fine, while just last week (D)espeir was decrying the lefts appeal to the emotional aspect of the "children" in the health care issue. :rolleyes:

He never claimed that the attacks against him were based on racism. He recognized that the attacks were based on politics and that, though he feared attacks from the Klan when he was a child, it turned out that the only people who actually DID attack him weren't from the Klan...But the Democratic Party. The racial element in his claim (made separately) was that he believes that after other accusations did not stick, that they pursued the "black man as a sexual predator" route, as that portrayal fits old sterotypes.

I did not claim that the Democratic attacks were based in racism and I don't believe that (after all, he was replacing the liberal, black and Democrat-accepted Thurgood Marshall). The point is that he feared the Klan, but those who claimed to defend blacks from the Klan were the ones that gave him a "high tech lynching". Not over the color of his skin, but over his political preference.

That was just my ironic title to hook you in. :) If race played a role, I personally only think it did to the extent that the Democratic Party wanted to maintain its political monopoly on the black vote (which it historically had) and Thomas would pose a threat to that. Despite having relevance to race, however, that is also a political motivation. I think that he is brilliant and didn't deserve to be dragged through the mud over 10-year-old, unsubstantiated, he-said/she-said allegations made by a "Womens Studies" graduate who asked if she could follow Thomas to another department after the "harassment" supposedly occurred. And who cares if he said there was a hair on his Coke anyway?
