Margery Eagan of the Boston Herald has done it again. She's unleashed her deathless prose filled with soaring rhetoric and high concepts all revealing her infinite sagacity. OK, that was just sarcasm. In truth, Eagan has given us another example of the sort of low-end, guttural, sputterings that we have become so used to seeing drip like sour milk from her pen. Her latest Boston Herald piece is a prime example of the unprofessionalism that pervades her work.
In a posting titled "Men in throes of Supreme panic," Eagan gets into her best name calling mode against all those eeeevil "white men" out there that might find reason to oppose President Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, a woman well known for positing that female Hispanics are inherently better judges than white men -- a sentiment that if reversed would be considered a racist statement.
Like a 12-year-old brawling on the playground, Eagan casts as much aspersion as she can in the space of one sparse column. Unfortunately, with every "point" she makes, she seems to indulge in the precise behavior she seems to be condemning.
Of course, her main goal is to paint any opposition to Sotomayor as racist at its heart. Her first lines set up that hollow claim at the outset.
It’s been such fun watching the right-wing white boys sputtering over the Supreme Court nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, a Hispanic woman nominated by a black man!
"Our world domination's slip, slip, slipping away," you can almost hear them whimper. "What to do?"
What a childish attempt to obscure Sotomayor's record and shift the debate to nonsense.
Now, does Eagan have any proof that any right leaning pundit, politician, or leader is objecting to Sotomayor because she's Hispanic or because Obama's black? Not a single shred is presented. But she knows that by painting any opposition as based in racism she can shift the debate from Sotomayor's actual record to something less logical or legitimate. By obscuring facts Eagan knows that this is the best way to argue in Sotomayor's favor, her record is so indefensible.
What Eagan does instead of proving that conservatives are acting themselves as racists against Sotomayor, she shifts the debate to conservatives talking about racist statements by Sotomayor and presenting the discussion as if that is itself automatically an act of racism. It is the sort of double thinking that the left is famous for.
Extreme leftists like Eagan used to use this sort of double talk to say that talking about communist infiltration was "irrational." When conservatives used to talk of communist infiltration of the U.S., instead of addressing the substance of the charge the left's double talk reply was always something like "well, you are just irrationally afraid of communism." Of course, after the fall of the U.S.S.R. it was discovered that communist infiltration was even more extensive than previously thought and conservatives were right about it all along. Naturally, the left still pretends reality doesn't exist. In any case, it was a double talk reply that relegated the actual discussion to a non-sequitur that they could more easily win.
This is a similar case. Talk of Sotomayor's inherently racist statements is, in leftist double talk, itself an act of racism. But Eagan has an excuse for Sotomayor's racist styled presumptions that latinas are inherently better judges. It's because there used to be discrimination, see. So, reverse discrimination is a'ok in her book.
Note to those arguing that if a white man said about caucasians what Sotomayor did about Latina women judging better, he’d be finished: That’s true. But it’s a ridiculous analogy. White men - unlike women and minorities - have never endured government-sanctioned racism. Not yet, anyway.
This is nothing if not an admission by Eagan that she has no interest in "fairness" or "egalitarianism." She wants permanent revenge and punishment. There was a famous civil rights leader that once asked America to judge people on their merit, their achievements, and their individual talents. Eagan rejects King's vision and wants to continue discrimination and government oppression... as long as it is against white men.
Eagan again drifts into her rote attack on principled conservatism: it's all racism.
Why, when a white man wins a political seat or a court appointment, it’s all about merit? But when a nonwhite wins (Obama) or gets appointed (Sotomayor), it’s all about “identity politics” and tokenism?
An obviously untrue statement. When Condi Rice was first offered as Secretary of State under Bush, conservatives were head-over-heels about the idea. No one on the right was saying it was "tokenism." No conservatives were against Colin Powell until he rejected the Republican Party as he has recently. Conservatives were thrilled by the nomination of Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court. No one on the right objected to Elaine Chao as Secretary of Labor based on her being an Asian female. And again, when Sarah Palin was chosen as McCain's vice presidential candidate, no conservatives lambasted her as a candidate of simple "identity politics."
Why is the above so? Because those candidates were on the right side of the issues as far as conservatives were concerned. The right supports or doesn't support candidates based on that candidate's beliefs and policy proscriptions, not because they are female or because of their ethnic origin.
On the other hand, the left offers candidate precisely based on their racial or gender origin. Let's take Obama's former Senate seat, for instance. The talk throughout Illinois when Obama vacated his seat to take the White House was that of how Illinois Governor Blagojevich was going to fill the "black seat." You see, it was determined that Obama's Senate seat was now a "black" Senate seat since Obama had taken it and any candidate that was going to fill the unused term had to be a black person to keep the seat black. No talk of qualifications ever entered into the subject. Only racial qualifications were discussed. (Well, that and how much money said candidate could slide Blagojevich's way, but that is another subject.)
Eagan ends her playground taunts with this absurd line:
Well take heart, fellas. No one’s pushing an all-girl court lineup: white, black, Hispanic and lesbian.
Well take heart, Margery. No one on the right has any interest if a candidate IS white, black, Hispanic or a lesbian. They only care if they are conservative. But you go ahead and act the hack like all of your ilk trying to make this argument against Sotomayor seem based only in racism. Meanwhile, we will continue to show that Sonia Sotomayor is an anti-Second Amendment activist, a judge that thinks in political terms instead of terms of law, and a woman that says her race and gender are superior to all others.

Fri, 05/29/2009 - 06:06 ET by motherbeltThis reminds me of the commercial where the woman is eating Cheerios and the husband says "Watching your weight?" and she says "Do I look like I need to watch my weight?"
He responds "No, but the box says it has only 100 calories" and then keeps digging his hole deeper, (but the box!....) until his wife says "What else does the box say?" and he says "The box says Shut up Steve." Her smile at that is worth a thousand words.
There is no possible "correct" way to oppose Sotomayor without being called racist or sexist. They have been warned not to even try go down the road of criticizing her.

Liberals have made sure there is government mandated racism against white males for 30 years. But then it is also liberals that have push racism against blacks and Hispanics too. As a matter of fact it is all about racism with liberals. All racism all the time is their policy. They use racism on both sides of the coin.

Libs see racism everywhere
Fri, 05/29/2009 - 05:33 ET by HockeyKidLibs see racism everywhere because they are racists--classic projection. They make decisions based on race all the time, so they're certain others do the same.
The most vocal of them, like Eagan, are losers who can't accept their own failing in life, so they seek refuge in the comfort of the conceit that they've been discriminated against for reason. Conservatives who have actually been discriminated against, on the other hand, tend to shrug it off, take a new tack, and succeed in spite of it.
I know a guy who, as a young man, had some tough breaks. His parents divorced and didn't give him any assistance to go to college (and the system said they should so he coudn't get financial aid either), so he enlisted in the military and saved his own money for school instead. He didn't get into his college of choice because affirmative action reserved space for students of another race who had far poorer academic records than he did. So he went to a different school and excelled there instead. He started writing books for professionals in his field, but the big publishing houses weren't interested. So he started his own publishing company instead. Today, in his forties, he lives in a beautiful house in a great neighborhood. He still has to work for what he has, but he's very much a success story, in spite of the breaks going against him. I hope I make the kind of choices he did as I get older. That's what conservatives do.
Liberals, on the other hand, just look for somebody to blame for their own failure. It's really sick.

Oh yes, there is no dearth
Fri, 05/29/2009 - 06:48 ET by nadadhimmiOh yes, there is no dearth of Sotomayor like haters out there. And the object of this hatred, white men, are required to shut up and take this discriminitory abuse. Indeed this abuse is government mandated and looked upon by the media as a source of amusement. Just like blacks in the 1800's, men are supposed to accept 2nd class treatment and say: yassuh boss, Ah promises to be a good house niggah massuh. As Chief Justice John Roberts says: "The best way to stop racial discrimination, is to stop racial discrimination." The sad part is, I'm sure Sotomayor's liberal education was paid for by the same white men she so hates.
reply
Fri, 05/29/2009 - 11:04 ET by Mike76It's funny - anti-white liberals like to portray White men as the most predatory killer on the planet. We kill, we enslave, we oppress, we rule with an iron hand. If that's true, it seems like a poor strategy to wage war on the most predatory killer on the planet, as the anti-whites seem to be doing.
War may be the white man's game, and liberals are second-raters, at best. I don't consider white liberals "first raters," as I consider white liberals the real "white trash."
What may happen to them, the liberals, if white men stop being "nice," and start "playing fair?" By that, I mean start playing the game "winning by any means neccesary" just as they are playing?
Then things would be "fair," wouldn't they?

Fri, 05/29/2009 - 08:36 ET by slickwillie2001Yes it is classic projection by the liberals. Sotomayor is a vile racist herself, and the liberals want to silence us on this fact by screaming racism at us. La Raza is nothing more than a Hispanic KKK, and no member of La Raza should be a judge at any level anywhere in America. Could a Republican be nominated to the Supreme Court if they were a member today of the KKK?
La Raza is also a secessionist movement. How would a Republican nominee to the court be treated if it could be shown that they were a member of a group dedicated to the secession of Texas, or Vermont? La Raza wants not only for Western states to secede, but they also want to then 'ethnically cleanse' those states of Americans of European descent.

Frank the Firefighter
Fri, 05/29/2009 - 10:10 ET by slickwillie2001Here's one way to attack Sotomayor; put a face on her racism: Introducing 'Frank the Firefighter': http://townhall.com
This also points out the obvious defects in Sotomayor's treatment of the case, in that it is alright to apply affirmative action unfortunately, but it cannot be applied so narrowly in scope that an individual is discriminated against. Either she didn't understand this and that makes her a dim bulb, or she displayed the racist bias that she seems to have based on other information. We need to personalize the effect of her racism.
"Among the firefighters who sued was Frank Ricci. He said he studied eight to 13 hours a day to prepare for the test and that he spent more than $1,000 on books and paid someone to record the study materials on tape because he is dyslexic and learns better by listening."

Affirmative action says hi.
Hmmmm...did you hear?
Fri, 05/29/2009 - 10:32 ET by StarAZRemember how ASU would not give Himself a degree--but instead set up a full-boat scholarship in his name? They just awarded the first one--to a white male with a great "story." Orphaned at 14, raised by his brothers, apparently a dynamite kid. So to ASU for not pandering or going "correct," kudos.
StarAZ - THANKS for sharing a 'great story' !

Didn't those white and Hispanic firemen in Vermont, or where ever they were, not get the promotion to captain they earned because no blacks passed the test? The government denied the promotions, and I believe that was a case Sotoma-YOR (being PC here) ruled on...a supposedly "reverse racism" case. So Sotoma-YOR sanctioned it.
(I don't think there is "reverse" racism...just racism.)
Anyway, this gal sounds like a Maureen Dowd understudy who is trying too hard. I bet she would give her right breast if she could be Anne Coulter for one day.
Who's the sweetest judge?
Sun, 05/31/2009 - 00:39 ET by wotsiznamewotsizname Of course that nice lady is a better judge of Liberty than a bunch of old white men like Madison IQ 150, Jefferson IQ 140, Franklin IQ 180, and all those other dullard males who established the greatest Republic in world history, and gave us a simple rigid framework with which to keep Liberty to future generations providing we believed in it, followed it, and didn't follow those to come who think they know better. Why not destroy it and join the failed schemes of the world.
IQ?? It's ALL about feelings...according to 'the one'
Sun, 05/31/2009 - 19:19 ET by Cape ConservativeYou must have things really mixed up...are you even suggesting that our REPUBLIC should follow the framework set up (that thingy called a Constitution) by men who chose to die if necessary to ensure our liberty???
Nah...'the one' says that doesn't count anymore...how do you FEEL about it??? And it is QUITE APPARENT that 'the one' believes white men don't know nothin about feelings. This is CONFIRMATION that he WAS listening as he sat there every Sunday for 20 years to a man who hates America and hates Whitey! This is a man who never even grew up in America...didn't play Little League, didn't belong to the Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts - this is a man whose every word and deed lets us know he does NOT like America!
