    1 – Damn beat me to it!

    From a NY Times article:

    Ms. Thomas, 53, has long been active in conservative circles in Washington. In the past year she has become more prominent as the founder of a new nonprofit activist group, Liberty Central, which is dedicated to opposing what she has characterized as the leftist “tyranny” of the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats

    . The group has drawn scrutiny in part because of the unusual circumstance of

    a spouse of a sitting Supreme Court justice drawing a salary from a group financed by anonymous donors.

    If I’m not mistaken isn’t Anita Hill herself a conservative????

    Awwww… Pretty soon Puddybud will be here to valiantly defend the honor of right wing women.

    @1 I liked this comment.

    “Ginny also kindly requested that Anita please retrieve the pubic hair from her husband’s coke can.”

    I reckon we’ll learn soon enough if it really was Ginny Thomas. If it was, then good Lord! Of course, she’s a teabagging freakazoid, so I wouldn’t put it past her. And thanks to her husband’s SCOTUS vote, she’s probably raking in corporate bucks galore for her teabagger organization. At what point do we start talking impeachment?

    Clarence Thomas needs to resign from the Supreme Court. He was extremely unqualified for the Court when Bush I appointed him, and he has always had a chip on his shoulder against those who opposed him. Now, his wife has become a leading Teabagger who stalks her husband’s former lusts.

    We are a nation of laws. We must believe in the credibility of our highest court. Are judges partisan creatures? Sure, but the best of them rise above that–William Brennan, Earl Warren, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and, locally, John Coughnour. Clarence Thomas should not be on the Supreme Court. He has been the most dependable rightwing vote throughout his tenure on the bench, more so even than Antonin Scalia. He does not listen to arguments; he never asks questions. His vote is dictated purely by whichever side wingnuts (his wife) take. No one who comes from the left side of the political divide can expect any sort of fair hearing from Clarence Thomas, regardless of the law, regardless of the facts. Enough is enough. He needs to go. And, good God, how stupid and arrogant is his wife for making that call after all these years?

    One theory I’ve read elsewhere; there’s some sort of new Thomas scandal brewing, and it is what triggered the call.

    No more and no less than the rest of them – Angle, Palin, Beck, Paul, O’Donnell, Miller…

    You could type from now till the rapture and still not name all the ignorance worshiping toadies of the right, each one as poorly versed in anything other than the talking point du jour as the next.

    I thought I was paranoid during the Bush years – but it just keeps getting worse. I am sure they will spill blood before the pendulum begins to swing.

    We need to return to the spirited defense of working people. The best we can ever hope for from voting is the maintenance of the status quo, and even that seems to be a stretch now. (Really, what gains have we made in the last two years?)

    Historically, there has never been change without mass action. I know that is an unpopular stand nowadays, but it is true. Nothing substantial can ever be won without bodies in the streets. Protest matters when it builds a popular movement. The right has finally figured that out, which is why the Billionaire Club is buying their own “movement”.

    We need to build a modern socialist movement.

    worf,
    I tend to agree, both that change requires mass action and that the right has coopted the left’s techniques with regard to protest. But, we on the left have to confront this new phenomenon of protest that is hugely funded. The Koch brothers, etc., who are paying for street protests. Mass action used to be fueled by genuine passion. Now, we’re having hundreds of millions poured in (see Citizens United–Clarence Thomas in the majority) to make corporatist interests look like they are populists. Our side doesn’t have that side’s money, and the media is on their side [except for blogs like this]. So, our side needs to regroup. We’re smarter than them, so that helps.

    You have no idea how racist your comment is. I’m not criticizing Clarence Thomas because he’s an “uppity black.” I don’t give a rat’s ass what his race is. He is a resentful asshole who should never have been appointed to the Supreme Court. You brought race in.

    Worf,

    Your links show you as a person completely lacking in moral sense.

    They advocate organized theft from others on the flimsy ground of need.

    They show exactly what will happen to this country should be follow the morally bankrupt path of progressivism, much less the evil one of socialism.

    France is brought to a standstill. Kids skip school to protest a necessary change in pensions and are rewarded rather than punished. Needed supplies of fuel are blocked that don’t belong to these rabble and instead of mass arrests, tear gas and rubber bullets the police stand by and watch. Over what? Adding 2 years to the retirement age in a country facing the same problem of baby boom retirement we are here. I knew the French were arrogant. I knew they were snobbish. I didn’t know they were also stupid.

    This kind of social upheaval to assert rights that don’t exist is the end result of progressive thought. This nation of adult babies that France has become is what you want for the United States. Well, the adults among us, the right, won’t let you. We know that real established rights like those to property and contract should be defended before imaginary nonsense shown which doesn’t work anywhere it’s been tried.

    Enjoy November, Worf. It should show you exactly how right thinking Americans view your socialist bullshit.

    Racism, KLOWN? You mean like the Virginia State Republican Chairman comparing blacks to “dogs”? Or maybe it’s your record of telling us racist jokes about lazy blacks being afraid of turning white and having to work for a living?

    5. Mr. Cynical spews:
    Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off
    when he looked in the mirror and noticed he was white from the neck up to
    the top of his head.
    In sheer panic and fearing he was turning white and might have to start
    working for a living
    , he called his doctor and told him of his problem.
    The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an
    examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to
    Barack, and told him to drink it all.
    Barack drank the concoction and replied, ‘That tasted like bullshit!’
    The doctor replied, ‘It was, you were a quart low.’

    Sure. If I had ever espoused the Tea Party, or attended an event or given money to it. And if the Tea Party movement were demonstrably racist, instead of having a few loose nuts in the mix.

    Yeah, if both were true, then you can tar me with the racist brush. As the first isn’t and the second isn’t proven to be, I guess you can’t. Not logically anyway.
