Specter Defends Wise Latina's 'Healthy' Ethnic Pride Remark
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 4:50 PM
Luckily, Specter said this before I completely nodded off:

So it's OK for a latina woman...
...to exemplify the "mentality" of the KKK? For what she was exemplifying was not just pride of her ethnic roots, it was blatant contempt for "white males". Most people are probably proud, or at least nostalgically pleased, about their ethnic heritage. But real wise people do not flaunt a sense of superiority based on their ethnicity.

Why do lefties feel so compelled to contort themselves into such obscene rhetorical positions in order to accomodate some of their own? Judge Sonia is a RACIST of the worst kind. She's anti American of the new "God Dam* America" ilk. Why is it so hard for lefties to admit it? Are they really that clueless and ignorant?

Ethnic Pride
I can now say that I am proud to be white. I didn't do anything to deserve being white. I was born that way. I am so glad that Senator Spector has made it okay to be proud of your race since listening to the media the problems of all the world is the ugly white race. But now no more. I am white and I am proud. Thank you Arlen.

Specter has
proven himself to be phony, lying, unscrupulous politician of the lowest order. America is witnessing a supposed man sell his soul for another term to serve the country, what incredible chutzpah. I'm glad he has decided to finally officially crawl out from under the roock and declare himslef as a dem as he sure was a pain to Repubs for years being a RINO.

Shortly he will just be a footnote in history as he has destroyed his career while destroying Americans ability to trust our leaders.

2010 he will go away or if we are lucky, we need some luck these days America, it will be sooner.

Sotero were is the real birth cert and all your hidden records? Until the public sees them this will not be over.

what a scam,arlen
the latinos i know believe we should protect the unborn.why do the demo-rats always play the race card???what a shame!sotomayor is liberal,if you want a litino judge great but,give us some that are more conservative.

AS A PENNSYLVANIAN.....
My husband, my many friends/colleagues, and I never, ever voted for Arlen Specter. He IS and has always BEEN a "RINO". He has never had any allegiance/loyalty to ANY particular party. It has always been about HIM: Arlen..., definitely not about the best interest of his Pennsylvanian constituents.

Having said the above, I will always admire his fierce and tedious fight against his terrifying, terminal illness. Specter's strength, tenacity and perserverance to "LIVE" were beyond admiral attributes, particularly, when he refused to miss work during the most grueling moments of his cancer remedies: chemotherapy.

Arlen Specter is approximately, to-date, 80 +/- years old. His golden "health care" coverage, as a US Senator, has afforded him the ability to FIGHT, LIVE, AND BREATHE far beyond the "Obamacare" plan proposed for "We The People".

Interesting, the Specters, Kennedys, Peolsis (Pelosi: tons of cosmetic surgery), et al; wrote/voted to implement this subordinate, selective, quasi-euthanasian type plan for the entire American populous, while at the same time, they enjoyed and will continue to enjoy every single advantage that current medical science could offer regardless of cost.

Hypocritical = Yes. Apathetically egocentric vs. lethal for America = Yes.

It's all about them: me, me, me, me, and mine!!!..per the Congress and Senate.

Tea Party..Or, As A Hald-Irish/Half-Scot
friend likes to say: Half of me wants to drink like a pig...and the other half doesn't want to pay for it!
Americanus writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 8:39 PM
Specter the Spectre - No Mas
This corrupt politician, who has switched back and forth between the two major parties, his entire life, would sell his soul for camera time. He tries to wax eloquent, but he only sounds like a crooked marble mouth waiting for his turn at the Obama Administration Rationing Trapdoor. It would figure that he would sell his vote to Soto's supporters. He is not smart enough to know that she is not competent. Pick up a phone and give Justice Cabranes a call, Arlo!
Americanus writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 8:33 PM
Obama the Flim-Flam Man
Always watch the other hand! The puppet-masters that manage the perpetual Obama campaign most likely have already put the razzle-dazzle, sleight of hand distraction in motion.

Once again, the Community-Organizer-in-Chief has stepped into it. Once again, the people, who are the power behind TOTUS, the Teleprompter of the United States, Rahm Emanuel and the other Capo Regimes of the Obama Mob, have engineered the save. There will be an Oval Office Oktoberfest, where Sgt. Crowley will be ushered into the heady, intoxicating atmosphere of the Oval Office to rub elbows with those two “down-to-earth” regular guys, the President of the United States (POTUS) and Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the Alphonse Fletcher, Jr. University Professor of African and African American Studies of Harvard University. They will be just three buds, sipping three “Buds.” But the families of the “combatants” will be invited to give the occasion a “heartland” America flavor.

White Power baby
I'm glad us white supremacy guys can finally get some love. I'm positively giddy that I'm healthy.
Crispian writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 7:54 PM
I agree with Specter
It's great to have ethnic pride - healthy to feel a connection to the past. I'm proud of my ancestry.

How that is relevant to her role as a judge, he fails to explain.
Akagi writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:48 PM
Tea
"...RACISM."

Be helpful if you actually understood what racism was and saying I'm a proud Latina isn't...and might I add Latina is not a race.
Akagi writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:45 PM
Tea
"I Am a PROUD AMERICAN PATRIOT whose sick and tired of hyphenations..you are either for or agin being an American period!"

I be agin it.

No problems with being hyphenated, dual nationality, dual passports, voting in other country's elections (the thing that brought us Afroyim v. Rusk back in 1967).

If you don't like hyphenation, don't use it.

Akagi writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:35 PM
Is he
Isn't he about ready for the rest home? He sounds half (no 90%) senile.

If someone talked about being a wise white male how long before the long-knives would be out?

They wouldn't talk about ethnic pride but racism and they'd need clarification what he meant.

PA deserves that fool.

Tea Party writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:31 PM
so whats
old cadaver er Spectre's point? What's the wiselatina's point other than overt RACISM.
Maybe instead of accepting the seat on SCOTUS, she should move back to Puerto Rico..then she can be a wise Latina all she wants without
legislating from the bench from a narrowminded ethnic viewpoint.
Tea Party writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:28 PM
Me too Neo
English bone china, born 17 years after me Mum arrived as a kid with the family from England..
a Lassie from Lancashire. But I've learned that
waaaay back with her home town was viking founded, got a couple of them in both sides. Dad's folks also Eng. B.C, and the ancestral name derives from a Viking. Add a tad of Welsh, Scots, and Irish, and who knows, there could be going waaaaay back further some Italian via the Romans, and assorted tribal relatives populating
north and central England. O yeah, Scots..Celts and Picts, Irish..Celts, Welsh ..Celts no wonder I love the pipes so much.
Soooom how do I hyphenate that mix and more than that how do my kids since Dad is German, French,
English and American Indian? That's a big problem..I know..I Am a PROUD AMERICAN PATRIOT whose sick and tired of hyphenations..you are either for or agin being an American period!
NeoConScum writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 6:05 PM
I, Myself, Am Proud of My Ethnicity...
Let's see...English, Welsh, Irish, Scot, Pic and Cherokee Injun.
clandan writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 5:58 PM
correction
Sen Spectre, that would be Latina, not Latino
Kaboom writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 5:49 PM
Why do you hate Sotomayor
so much? She voted with the majority on Ricci...and most of her decisions are mainstream.

Is there a glue factory in Pennsylvania?
uh, uh, uh, ... hug me Sen. Durban, I'm tottering while dottering and mumbling and meandering.
Leo writes: Tuesday, July, 28, 2009 5:04 PM
Quoting the poet Durbin???
I think the funniest thing the cadaverous Democrat turned Republican turned Democrat Spectre (my spelling) said was to refer to Senator Durbin as "poetic". What??
