G. Gordon Liddy Is A Pig
In the pig’s own words…
Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s (Sotomayor) menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.

What a disgusting PIG.
Tags: G. Gordon Liddy, Sotomayor
She’s 54, she’s probably not menstruating anymore. I’m sure DISGUSTING PIG Liddy will then talk about hot flashes or something.
Yep, this nomination has really exposed the cruddy underbelly of the conservatives. They think that Sotomayor can’t possibly be qualified because she’s a woman and she’s Hispanic. I’m not even talking whether they think she is best for the job – they’re arguing that she’s not even qualified, that she’s some kind of affirmative action pick.
Her ’empathy’ is a bias against the Constitution.
She is no friend of justice, just a perverse equality of outc0me. Let merit be damned.
Project Princess or Quota Queen, what difference does it make?
LOL! what a hateful, spiteful, very small man!
And I didn’t know that the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another was an affront to the Constitution!
But so says the welfare honkey.
And apparently Art Downs is a pig too.
A big PIG!
Republicans only want sociopaths on the bench, we get it.
Your Republican Party ladies and gentlemen.
I think it has been a long time since G. Gordon Liddy had any role in the party. There you go again.
You can’t keep running away from your party spokespeople David.
Or, I guess I mean, you can’t keep running away from your party’s spokespeople and not end up like Arlen Specter.
It is not running away. He has never been a party spokesperson.
Keep telling yourself that.
Sorry David, your beloved media made him a spokesperson — all those appearances on right-wing radio and TV.
What ’empathy’ was shown when the nominee engaged in a bit of judicial bitchery when she attempted to dismiss the claim of a white firefighter who scored high on a test for promotion? Another judge (also of Hispanic ancestry) saw merit to the claim. Note that the white applicant suffered a disability: dyslexia. He spent a lot of money on tutors to overcome his disadvantage. But all came to nought, at least for the while. The Supreme Court will soon hear his case.
The case could prove interesting as well as timely.
Perhaps in a progressive era where self esteem is treated as an entitlement, merit can be forgotten.
The reason the story of the firefighter was released – they want us to feel empathy for him.
What cracks me about Republicans like Art crying “racism” is that the Republican party is the most openly racist organization in the country after the KLan and the Nation of Islam.
Another judge (also of Hispanic ancestry) saw merit to the claim.
Not one who was sitting on this case. This decision was 3-0 for New Haven. The request to hear this case en banc was rejected 7-6. Judge Cabranes had reasons to want to hear this case, but he was not one of its sitting judges.
Perhaps in a progressive era where self esteem is treated as an entitlement, merit can be forgotten.
Tell it to Judge Sotomayor. With a killer school record, a killer resume and a fantastic record as a lawyer and a judge you people have decided to dismiss all of that achievement as identity politics. Identity politics that you were quite delighted with when it was Alito or Palin ham-handedly working it for you.
You are still a pig, Art.
art, you aren’t going to win this fight. you cant posture against empathy when the topic is about a comment like that.
i actually agree with you (kinda) justice should be blind and not subject to emotion or bias.
Luckily, that is not what empathy means in this sense. justice should also be human. we aren’t robots.
Dont worry arty baby, the new justice wont make you have sex with your children while denouncing God as Rush and Co would have you believe.
“the Republican party is the most openly racist organization in the country after the KLan and the Nation of Islam.”
And sometimes we kick puppies, don’t forget about that.
Sotomayor isn’t the worst choice but lets not pretend she hasn’t made some distressing rulings and public comments, many of which involved racial issues.
That’s exactly what you are pretending. The racist GOP is great at two things; prooftexting, and getting the media to play along.
distressing rulings? you mean like when she saved baseball? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Supreme-Court-nominee-Sotomayor-an-unlikely-base?urn=mlb,165851
“The racist GOP is great at … getting the media to play along.”
Yeah, that really helped us out in the last election…
What planet are you living on? The firefighter ruling and her comment on Latinas being inherently better civil servants, coupled with the quote about the courting being the place where policy is made are very worrisome, not necessarily damning, but certainly cause for some concern.
You just got your ass handed to you with that prooftexting comment because you know it is true and it is a truth that is burning your eyes like acid.
No “poor us, the media is liberal” comment can cover your shame. You better just move along now.
“You just got your ass handed to you with that prooftexting comment because you know it is true and it is a truth that is burning your eyes like acid.”
I come to you with legitimate concerns over Sotomayors judicial career and all you have to respond with is that Newt Gingrich can’t spell?
Weak.
It is simply amazing to watch the GOP self-destruct with drug addicts like Limbaugh, disgraced divorcee Newt Gingrich and and a convicted felon in Liddy. This is the republican party today, and rep David and Tom S and FSP can try and distance the party from it, but the fact is they are the ones out hitting the circuit attempting to sway public opinion, And the truth is, very few elected republicans are standing up to any of this. It’s disgraceful. It is difficult to imagine a more complete and ugly collapse than what we are seeing today.
Tom S a few comments for you to consider from past Supreme Court nominees:
ALITO: “Senator, I tried to in my opening statement, I tried to provide a little picture of who I am as a human being and how my background and my experiences have shaped me and brought me to this point. … And that’s why I went into that in my opening statement. Because when a case comes before me involving, let’s say, someone who is an immigrant — and we get an awful lot of immigration cases and naturalization cases — I can’t help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn’t that long ago when they were in that position. When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account.”
WHAT? What happened to the law?
Scalia: This complete separation of the judiciary from the enterprise of “representative government” might have some truth in those countries where judges neither make law themselves nor set aside the laws enacted by the legislature. It is not a true picture of the American system. Not only do state-court judges possess the power to “make” common law, but they have the immense power to shape the States’ constitutions as well. In fact,
however, the judges of inferior courts often “make law,” since the precedent of the highest court does not cover every situation, and not every case is reviewed. Judges are emboldened to determine the validity of law, and reject those which do not meet the constitutional standard.”
Fact is, appealate judges and Supreme Court justices have a role in shaping the law and thus policy, by affirming or rejecting law according to the Constitution. As anyone should know, lawmakers are free to write all the laws they want, but if a court rules that law is illegal, then bye-bye. In that regard, justices have a role in policy and our system was specifically set up that way. It’s called Separation of Powers. No one branch is free to write and make policy. That’s the American system, if you missed that day in school.
I heard on the grapevine some ladies in Wilmington are gathering a ‘bus load’ of people to go to Judge Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings…..anyone interested????
When all else fails, resort to vulgarity or a cheap shot.
The ‘Limbaugh the drug addict’ statement demonstrates the intellectual dishonesty of the Left. There are addictions that are the result of overmedication to deal with a medical problem involving real pain and also the addictions that result in a desire for a chemical high or low. There is a difference.
tom you are getting pretty handily beaten on this one. i’d pack up your “BUT SHE BLEEDS FROM THE HOO-HOO (is that an OK work U.I?) AND EATS TACOS!!!” argument and stick it where the Scalia don’t shine.
You are taking lot’s of different comments and events totally out of context and making a false picture of someone…. Kinda like the Daily Show…. only the Daily Show is funny, G. Gordon, and Rush, and Sean, and Anne, and Fox, are racist turds. Don’t be a racist turd, you’re better than that (i hope)
she. saved. baseball.
Limbaugh is a victim.
ohhhh too funny tom.
and a fat junkie.
“There are addictions that are the result of overmedication to deal with a medical problem involving real pain and also the addictions that result in a desire for a chemical high or low. There is a difference.”
Yes, one of the addicts isn’t sitting in jail 🙂
“tom you are getting pretty handily beaten on this one. i’d pack up your “BUT SHE BLEEDS FROM THE HOO-HOO (is that an OK work U.I?) AND EATS TACOS!!!” argument and stick it where the Scalia don’t shine.”
When did I say that?
Tell me the firefighter ruling doesn’t bother you.
“Limbaugh is a victim.
ohhhh too funny tom.”
When did I say that?
When all else fails, resort to vulgarity or a cheap shot.
And what was that Project Princess or Quota Queen thing, Art?
You have NO BUSINESS taking anyone to task here for vulgarity or cheap shots since this is exactly your project here AND what you came here to defend.
And you are still a pig.
Limbaugh, Gingrich and Liddy are complete sleazes and anyone trying to defend any of those remarks are complete sleazes as well. Republicans are going to have to find a way to distance themselves from them. Cornyn tried but Gingrich just doubled down on him. Gingrich is still going to be keynoting a fundraiser for the NRSC, isn’t he? There is a struggle for leadership in the Republican party and Cornyn and Steele aren’t winning it.
If this nomination fight proves anyhting it proves that stupid brainless Republican sheep like Tom S will repeat any half-baked talking point that Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove can cook up.
“If this nomination fight proves anyhting it proves that stupid brainless Republican sheep like Tom S will repeat any half-baked talking point that Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove can cook up.”
Oh honey, with the moves your party is making we don’t have to cook up anything.
Now go fetch the highlights from the Huffington post for me, its been a while since I’ve checked it.
And please notice how they won’t comment on the point of the post – Liddy’s remarks. I’ll take their silence as approval of those comments.
And, sorry, but Republicans are stuck with the Liddys, Limbaughs, etc. until you guys forcibly oust them. They represent you because you let them. It’s quite clear to everyone which party they belong.
Can anyone of you hold your hand over a candle flame till your skin burns?
I didn’t think so.
Look how bitchy Tom gets when having his ass, rhetorically kicked. To say that these guys are stupid brainless sheep is an insult to sheep.
BTW Tom, if you still have some fight left in you, google the term “prooftext” and the last bit of your confidence will be drained away.
Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when he’s (Alito) horny or something, or just before he’s gone a long time without sex. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.
If she is confirmed it will be interesting to see how pro-choice she is.
You know as soon as she is confirmed there will be a challenge to Roe v. Wade.
The question remains: Should a person who allows performance on a test to be trumped by racial quotas serve on the Supreme Court?
Does such an attitude make her a Quota Queen?
Vulgarity and insults may be substituted for reason. Some can do no better.
Art – She was following established law, at least in its pre-Scalia sense.
We now have a chief justice who wants to throw out the Voting Rights Act because, well, he doesn’t think he’d have voted for it.
Vulgarity and insults may be substituted for reason. Some can do no better.
Only following your lead here, amigo.
We presume vulgarity and insults are OK with you since you are so free with them.
Rehnquist got on the Supreme Court and he was a known defender of imposed segregation and a “poll watcher” in AZ.
The justice she will be replacing had the same opinion on the case.
This is GOP media manipulation at it’s best. Because it plays on asswipes like Art’s racism and fear of a black planet, it is a wingnut homerun.
My first impression was maybe he was trying to be funny, you know in that politically incorrect way they do. Then I clicked on the link, and seeing his face I remembered what a Neanderthal he is – and he’s not the only one.
“And please notice how they won’t comment on the point of the post – Liddy’s remarks. I’ll take their silence as approval of those comments.”
Liddy’s remarks were highly distasteful but to pretend this is why we are concerned with Ms. Sotomayor is a straw man of gargantuan proportions.
“Can anyone of you hold your hand over a candle flame till your skin burns?”
I thought it was a cigarette…
“BTW Tom, if you still have some fight left in you, google the term “prooftext” and the last bit of your confidence will be drained away.”
Honey, come back when you have a point.
You can have the last word. Consider it a present from me to you. A little salve for your humiliated ass.
Again we see an evasion of the issue by self styled ‘progressives’. Does quota filling trump ability?
I’m afraid some of you are going to kill me for this.

Hello?
Here’s the issue of the post, Art, since you’re obviously not too bright.
Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s (Sotomayor) menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.
Defend or denounce that. I dare you.
Art Downs asks Again we see an evasion of the issue by self styled ‘progressives’. Does quota filling trump ability?
Hello?
Two words: Grandmaster Steele
Nothing says patriot as wearing an American flag banana hammock!
Piggy Art is here in a thread condemning the behavior of one of the voices of his party and he asks us about evasion?
Step off, Art. When we get to the point of talking about Judge Sotomayor’s record I’m sure you’ll have nothing to contribute there too.
A comment on the thread (FTW):
I hate when the GOP puts red, white and blue on their packages in order to appeal to women.
I’ll be when you unwrap it, it glitter
LOL, Jason.
Does the nominee reflect ‘Ghetto Rat’ thinking in her stand on the Second Amendment?
What was this again?
When all else fails, resort to vulgarity or a cheap shot.
You are still a pig, Art.
Wow, “pig” was used so many times that this thread has covered DL’s weekly bacon blogging!
There’s no quota filling, Art. Gene Robinson explains the situation better than could I:

JM –
thanks for that link.
But unlike Gingrich, Limbaugh doesn’t ask to be taken seriously. He just asks to be paid.
LOL So true.
