The Sotomayor Cartoon: One More Step to the Death of Free Speech

The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City ran a cartoon in Tuesday's paper depicting Judge Sonia Sotomayor as a pinata as Obamarx invites elephants to take a swing. Many hispanic and women's rights groups have been screaming that the cartoon is racist and sexist. Hmmm. Where were the feministas when Condie Rice was portrayed in a political cartoon as an Aunt Jemima figure? How about the race-baiting poverty pimps? After all, she is an intelligent, strong black woman (whom I would definitely have love to have seen on a Palin/Rice ticket!) who earned her position through hard work and not a gubment check. Where were you people?

While I don't advocate going out and whacking a judge with a stick, can these people not see the message that was being sent? The message: Obama is putting Sotomayor out there to take all the heat thrown her way, and he won't utter a word to her defense. Judge Sotomayor deserves VERY strong questioning of her opinions and statements. She is interviewing for a lifetime appointment to the the court that is to interpret our sacred Constitution, and to play softball with the questioning would be gross negligence.

The Constitution does not offer you the right not to be offended. Only people of strong character can rise up and overcome adversity.

Hey Sonia!! Life's tough; wear a cup!

Harry Reid Gushes Over Sotomayor

Harry Reid (D-NV), Senate majority leader, has come out singing the praises of Sonia Sotomayor calling her "the total package". Of course, coming from Pinky this is no surprise. But "total package"???

Let's take a trip down Memory Lane to see what has the left in such a state of euphoria.

• Being a minority, Sotomayor fits the template of forced diversity the left just LOVES. Hey guys!!! What happened to finding the most qualified person for the job regardless of race or gender? When you seek the best based on merit, diversity automatically follows.
• She was able to make a blatantly racist remark and get away with it. Remember Don Imus's comment that got him fired? Or Trent Lott's comments to Strom Thurmond that put pressure on him to step down? I guess when you're a liberal, IT'S DIFFERENT.
• The left is completely gaga over her because they will be one step closer to making sure that abortion and gun control are kept in place. Oh...and Affirmative Action will forever continue to divide people.

We can see that this nominee was chosen for all the wrong reasons. Are all nominees to the Supreme Court political? Yep. But when you take into account all this administration has done, does anyone truly believe that she was nominated for reasons other than to cement a Marxist/Socialist agenda? I have my doubts.
