Uh, Kolo..... "Eating Crow" is when you spout off about something and then get proven wrong. It's not applied when one just changes their mind.

An example would be like when Reader said that Ayers was rehabilitated or anybody made the claim that Obama was honest.

You're only half right:

Despite voicing potential support, Limbaugh also said that he is not backing off his claim that Sotomayor is a "reverse racist."

"I'm not retracting it. Nobody's refuted it," he said. "When she says she'd do a better job than a white guy, what is it? It's racism, reverse racism, whatever, but it's still racism. She would bring a form of racism, bigotry to the court."

P.S. I seldom listen to Limbaugh, so please don't call him my "leader", and please don't lump me in with anyone who treats his words as if they come from the burning bush.

That's twice in one day you've embarrassingly been shown to be an inept fool.

Go ahead and post again and make it three. :lol:

Kolo, you have no idea what Rush is doing.
Did you know he supported Bill Clinton when he was running for President against Bush 41??????

Rush and Newt both backing away from their statements at the same time?

You're correct RobertMac, they have no idea, do they?

Maybe this will help.

RUSH: State-run MSNBC at the top of the hour focused a lot on Newt Gingrich retracting the word "racist" to describe Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor as too extreme. The Drive-Bys all happy that Mr. Newt is retracting. I'm not retracting. The truth doesn't need to be retracted and we don't retract the truth here, but they're all excited about it, "It's too extreme, it's too extreme, "racist," it's too extreme." It wasn't to extreme when it was applied to Robert Bork. It wasn't too extreme when it was applied to Miguel Estrada, Janice Rogers Brown. "Racist. That's too extreme. We can't have that kind of talk." But we can have, in a storied Senate hearing chamber, before the nation, we can have discussions of a pubic hair on a Coke can, but we can't use the word "racist" when it actually applies.

Who brought up this race issue, wasn't it Obama? Who's going to take the heat for being racially motivated? Latinos/Hispanics are already noticing.

The sum total of the Democrats' rhetoric makes Sotomayor look more qualified than other people for a highly prestigious job; as well, the Ivy League is affirmed as the gold standard for every ethnic community's progress, and as a bonus Hispanics are told to ignore their ideological differences with the Democratic Party and kick out more Republicans from swing districts in 2010. Reading the Sotomayor with an eye to whom the story benefits, I feel manipulated.


How stupid do Latinos look? Are Democrats like Schumer going to talk about us in the third person this way indefinitely, expecting us never to put two and two together and figure out we're being used?

The subtext in the Sotomayor controversy is that Latinos are voting more Democratic these days, but they are less Democratic in their values. When the President speaks to Latinos, he is walking a precarious tightrope. Obama's team of number crunchers is undoubtedly troubleshooting for anything that could trigger a backlash among religious, military, or entrepreneurial Hispanics.

Hang on, there's more. She went to a private Catholic school and sailed through two Ivy League campuses without a hitch, acquiring a far more privileged life than the vast majority of Puerto Ricans. Success doesn't make her any less Puerto Rican, but it ought to make her reconsider what exactly she means by "Latina" experience. Will she consider Latinos who grew up in suburbs not Latino enough for her empathy? Are Latinos who were born poor and stayed poor okay? She assumes that the specific life she led encapsulates the story of all or at least most Latinos. But she soared from a poor neighborhood to an elite coterie during a time when the Left insists racism in America was rampant and all-powerful. Somehow Democrats do not view St. Sonia as an aberration; rather, her Democratic backers believe her life includes the same discrimination and racial injustice experienced by Latinos who are still poor today.

By now you should have a headache. Wouldn't it have been nice if Obama had introduced her without framing her through the sentimental filter of ethnography? Wouldn't we all be having a more pleasant conversation if Democrats like Chuck Schumer had not thrown her Hispanic identity and its ramifications in everyone's face? The Democrats chose how to introduce her. They are to blame, if the discussion seems divisive now.

Most of the problem I have with Sonia Sotomayor deals not with Sotomayor, but with her patrons. But she is a problem as well. She seems to use race and gender as shorthand for human particularities far too complex for such labels. A rudimentary fallacy on that scale is terrifying. The more you contextualize her statements, the more you infer that she misreads everything: Latinos, white men, women, poverty, richness, me, you, herself. She misreads life. How can she judge?

Tell me Kolo...why weren't Democrats that attacked Miguel Estrada and Janice Rogers Brown not labeled as racist????

Because they were democrats and the "honor" of getting a latino installed as a judge at any level was reserved for dems. They were no more racist than Ted Kennedy was guilty of vehicular homicide. :shock:

Clearly being thrilled or thinking seriously about anything Rush L says should show craziness no matter if you are republican or democrat.

Nah, Obama is just baiting Rush because he knows it'll make the GOP look even sillier and more people abandon the party :wink:
I hope Obama keeps baiting because it will backfire on him....the majority of American people are smarter than you libs think. :wink: :)

From what I can tell, the GOP keeps shooting itself in the foot with silly attacks versus substance and yes, the American public recognizes that.

This forum has some prime examples of that silliness, as well as some substantive discussions.
The GOP lacks leadership with strong conservative principles. Becoming more like Democrats is what the GOP did the last two elections...we know what that got them.

On this forum, the silliness and lack of substance comes from many libs.
