Extremist Republicans play the race card and appoint their torture boy |
Alberto "Torture Boy" Gonzalez was approved by the Senate last week
after a few stray Democratic senators apparently decided that
electrified nipples make for good foreign policy.
The Republicans, as mentioned previously, voted for Gonzalez in
lockstep.
But as with the Condoleezza Rice nomination, some Republicans were
more than happy to throw the race card on the table in an attempt to
cow their opponents.
Orrin Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee ominously said
that "Every Hispanic-American in the country is watching."
The implication was clear:
Never mind the torture, Alberto Gonzalez should become the next
Attorney General because he is Hispanic.
And if you don't vote for him, you're a racist.
You know, it always cracks me up when Republicans try to pull this,
considering that they've spent decades doing everything they can to
crush the hopes and dreams of minorities.
Actually it doesn't crack me up.
It makes me want to vomit.
Unfortunately Hatch's "every Hispanic-American" didn't appear to
include the Hispanic Caucus, who refused to endorse Gonzalez.
Oh well.

Poor ol' Orrin, he sure must be a friend to some sort of brown people
somewhere, because it only took him a few hours after we decided Osama had
done 9/11 for him to tip Osama off on the floor of Congress that we were
coming to get him. lol

See how long it takes for Bush & Gozalez to let the Policia Judicial
thugs of the Latin American Associations' Law Departments in the U.S.A.
(and Mexican Consulates) loose---even more---on the general public.
It should start to occur as soon as Bush announces that the so-called
cure for the Social Security System is to create a larger work force
(via the illegals and their extended families); and, to make up for, a
soon to be announced, deficiency in road mileage accrued by the
nation's truck drivers to keep Walmart supplied, the unbridaled license
of Mexico's traffickers (err: truckers) to have full and unfettered
access to all U.S. transport facilities.
Of course anyone opposing will be declared racist and, as in Mexico,
subject to torture.
