Would it be risky for Democrats to oppose the first ever black chief justice?

thomas isnt black, he is an 'uncle tom' according to the liberals.

the democrats get away with all kinds of nonsense.

remember during thomas' confirmation hearings.  the subject of his video rentals came up.

just imagine if the republicans had dared asked a black man if he rented 'long dong sliver'.  jesse jackson would still be on a hunger strike.

No, because they're Democrats. Fritz Hollings didn't recieve any criticism from the media for saying that Bush went to war to protect Israel, but Trent Lott's remark which simply praised Strom Thurmond ended his tenure as senate majority leader.

Lets see Lott praised a Segregationalist & suggested we wouldn't have all these "problems" if he won in his run for President in 1948.  In 1948 when Thurmond ran for President he was a complete & utter racist & ran under the sole platfoorm of keeping Segreation

well, you do know that fritz hollings was himself a segregationist?

but racism is fine as long as youre a democrat (ie robert byrd)

[WalterMitty]

The guy was in the Klan 60 years ago.

His voting record shows he's far from a racist.

ooooook.

his use of the n word still proves he is.
