Newt Apologizes For Calling Judge Sotomayor a Racist!

Newsweek reports:

In a lengthy message posted on his Web site today, Newt Gingrich apologizes for calling Judge Sonia Sotomayor a “racist."

Gingrich: My initial reaction was strong and direct -- perhaps too strong and too direct. The sentiment struck me as racist and I said so. Since then, some who want to have an open and honest consideration of Judge Sotomayor’s fitness to serve on the nation’s highest court have been critical of my word choice. With these critics who want to have an honest conversation, I agree. The word “racist” should not have been applied to Judge Sotomayor as a person.

FOX HATE CHANNEL: O'Reilly, Hannity and Savage Contribute to Murder & Violence by the Extreme Right Wing!

Across the internet, more and more sites are reporting Fox News is partially responsible for the murder of Dr. George Tiller. There are countless videos of Fox network depicting Tiller as a baby killer and a Nazi, among other things.
I wonder how much influence Fox pundits had on murderer Roeder?

As I was reading these reports, I started thinking about Richard Poplawski, the avid Gun collector and fan of Fox network (especially Hannity). Poplawski was also a member of the Stormfront forum.

Then I thought of all the Fox reports against "illeegals" and the ANTI websites advocating hate against "illeegal Mexicans." The Caucasian Crew, Piekarsky, Donchak, Dannie Baker all were avid viewers of Fox and the ANTI websites.

-------------------------------

As I was studying these reports, I came across the "Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church shooting." I remembered last summer's articles about the church shootings. I figured it was just another mad gunman. I didn't read too much else about it until today.

Here is what I found out. On July 27, 2008, a gunman by the name of Jim David Adkisson, motivated by his desire to kill LIBERALS and DEMOCRATS, fired a shotgun at members of the congregation during a youth performance of a musical. He viciously shot and murdered two people, wounding seven others.

In a sworn affadavit, one of the arresting officers said, "During the interview Adkisson stated that he had targeted the church because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of major media outlets. Adkisson made statements that because he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them into office."

The following books were found in Adkisson's home during a police search:
. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder by radio talk show host Michael Savage
. Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism by talk show host Sean Hannity

. The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.
In his letter about his attack, Adkisson also included the Democratic members of the House and Senate, and the 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America by Bernard Goldberg in his list of wished-for targets.

Hannity, O'Reilly, Savage and Goldberg are Fox Cable News hosts and pundits.

---------------

Another Fox Fan shooter comes to mind. Michael McLendon was the man who went on a shooting rampage that killed 10 people in Alabama. He told friends in the days leading up the attack that he was depressed and felt he was a failure. Five of the victims were family members, while the remainder were relative strangers killed while he drove through town shooting from his vehicle before going to his former place of employment. After a shootout with police, McLendon died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Glenn Beck rationalized the murderer's perspective on his show: "As I'm listening to him, I'm thinking about the American people that feel disenfranchised right now. That feel like nobody's hearing their voice. The government isn't hearing their voice. Even if you call, they don't listen to you on both sides. If you're a conservative, you're called a racist. You want to starve children..And every time they do speak out, they're shut down by political correctness. How do you not have those people turn into that guy (McLendon)."

----------------------

Are Fox Network and their pundits O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Savage and Goldberg at least partially responsible for all of these murderers? Are they inciting violence? Are they persuading the weak-minded to hoard weapons and commit these murders, with their cache of stashed weapons they've collected because these pundits told them President Obama will take away their weapons? Are they partially responsible for the murders they committed? Are they partially responsible when they incite such anger and hatred towards Doctors and church-goers who oppose their views? What do you think?

Bring it On Racist Tancredo! Silly Smear Machine Republicans Like You Who Live in Glass Houses Should NOT Call the Honorable Judge Sotomayor a Racist!

Racist Tom Tancredo, the guy who called Miami a 3rd world country, the racist who told people in El Paso concerned about a fence dividing up their land to move to Mexico and, to top it off, in March he admitted the Immigration issue IS about Race.
In March, Tancredo said, "Throughout history, people who are NOT white Anglo-Saxon have become American by adopting a white Anglo-Saxon culture." He insists all minority immigrants have to become white northern Europeans if they want to assimilate to become Americans. What a racist nutcase!

Now this evil nutcase has the absolute gall to call the honorable justice Sotomayor a racist. I say to the evil Tancredo, "Bring it on Racist!"

Why is this nutcase (and others like him, like Beck and Limpbaugh) saying this?

Apparently they got their chonies in a bunch because the honorable Judge Sotomayor said, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Not that racists like Tancredo care, Sotomayor was specifically discussing the importance of judicial diversity in determining race and sex discrimination cases. As a former Bush Justice Department lawyer John Yoo similarly stressed, the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas "is a black man with a much greater range of personal experience than most of the upper-class liberals who take potshots at him" and argued that Thomas' work on the court has been influenced by his understanding of the less fortunate acquired through personal experience. Additionally, Justice Sam Alito has talked about the importance of his proud Italian heritage when he has made his decisions.
Are racists like Tancredo, Beck and Limpbaugh in a time-warp? Do they not consider other Justices' comments when they make their blantant accusations? Do they not remember their own racist diatribes?

It is times like these that I appreciate the sanity of comments by Senators like John McCain in supporting a very qualified candidate like the Honorable Judge Sotomayor. Comments by the likes of Tancredo, Beck or Limpbaugh are not needed and instead, prove to divide vs rationalize. I almost feel sorry for these extreme Right Wing zealots. They do not have a clue. They only make the wedge between Latinos/Women VS Republicans even wider.

As long as the Republican party is controlled by these right wing extremists, we Latinos will NEVER, EVER Vote for your Candidates Again!!!

I guess that is what these extremist Republicans want!

FIRE NAZI Shock Jock Jay Severin!

BREAKING NEWS: Severin to Stay Suspended!! (see update in Red below)
Jay Severin, a right wing shock jock desperate for ratings, has been suspended by WTKK-FM in Boston. Severin, in attempting to pander to racist/extremist members of his audience, utilized the most derogatory remarks to describe Mexicans/Latinos.

In describing Mexicans, he used the words: “lowest of primitives,” “leeches,” and “criminaliens” while talking about the swine flu. Severin called one of Mexico’s leading exports “women with mustaches and VD,” said Mexicans have poor hygiene, do not vaccinate their kids, don’t speak English and “retard” U.S. schools. (see video)

Severin utilized the same hatefilled tactics against Mexicans as propogandists in Nazi Germany used against the Jews: dehumanization of the enemy.

Sources within Greater Media, which owns the station Severin works for, has said their management has been dissatisfied with the “hateful” tone his show has taken. One source said Severin had been warned in the past.

If he doesn't get fired for this, what do you get fired for?

LATE BREAKING NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT: Monday, 5/4/09

"WTKK and Greater Media value an open and vigorous dialogue, but we also strongly adhere to basic principles of civility, common decency and respect for all cultures. We believe Jay's suspension is the best way to uphold both of these corporate policies. WTKK Management met with Jay Severin and his agent today. He will continue to remain on suspension until further notice."
