If i hear "she is a daughter of a sharecropper" ONE MORE TIME..

[southernleftylady]

I'm going to SCREAM

what in the WORLD does that have to do with ANYTHING?? augh..
(talking about the Brown battle going on right now)

[eallen]

1. Is that a country western song?

I just don't tune in to those stations.

:hippie:

[BurtWorm]

2. They want us all to be thinking of Steve Martin in the Jerk

for some reason. :crazy:

[Atman]

3. Bush will try using it for sympathy in his press conf today...

"I was born a poor black child."

The jerk!

[Kipling]

4. Better a sharecropper than a BITCH.

She's gone down in the world.

[Bluzmann57]

5. It's just the neocons trying to paint Liberals as racists

It's all they have, so they say it over and over again. It has been said that if a lie is repeated enough, the liar will believe it him or herself.

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Yep.

Liberals can't recognize racial injustice via affirmative action without being called reverse racists and we can't criticize a Repub of color without being called racist.

Helluva good racket the Repub noise machine has.

[Justitia]

6. all the more reason she is unqualified - no empathy, no sense of

where she came from or how hard her family must have worked to afford her such opportunities.

I've read many of her opinions - she is one nasty character.
Her mind works in some malevolent ways.

[meow2u3]

20. She freakin' BENEFITTED from affirmative action

and now she wants to keep others from benefitting.
She's the bitch who pissed in the bucket after she had drunk her fill!

[musette_sf]

7. just another example of

Good For The reThugliKKKans, bad for the progressives.

Affirmative Action: GOOD if for Brown, BAD if for the average person.

[Bluebear]

8. "Some people say brown-skinned people....."

It's right wing code for "Look, she pulled herself up and made herself into one of us." :crazy:

[Mistress Quickly]

9. I thought

Tammy Wynette was the "daughter of a sharecropper" and Loretta Lynn was a "coal miner's daughter".

Why are they discussing country music singers?

(just kidding of course)

[Tomee450]

10. AMEN!!!!!

I'm tired of hearing it too. Brown isn't the only person to come from a poor background. Barbara Boxer reminded people that her mother had very little education yet Barbara became a senator. I listened to some of the complaints against Brown. She definitely is way out of the main stream. I don't understand how even conservatives could support her. Her views are frightening.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. What "battle". The Dems already gave her a free ride.

The rest is just part of the show.

[Justitia]

13. No kidding. Get on with it already. This makes my teeth ache. -eom

[liberalitch]

14. It's like she's and her family have been shit on enough....CONFIRM!

They say her rulings are not as far left as her writings...

Which SCOTUS was appointed by daddybush only to turn and vote with the sane people on the court?

[Jacobin]

15. She's the daughter of a sharecropper

heh heh.

Okay, now you may scream

:-)

[southernleftylady]

16. AAAAAAAAAAAAA UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH thanks ;) nt

[Jacobin]

19. LOL,

btw I wonder if she really is. I mean, you know how this crap is made up.

think I'll google this and see what comes up.

I have a feeling its all a big lie anyway. Then you will feel much better :hug:

[southernleftylady]

22. aww you are too sweet ;) lol nt

[Johonny]

17. Just goes to show

sharecropper daughters can be $%*@#$#@ too.

[applegrove]

18. It would be like saying "grew up on a farm" except without the wealth

that farmers had. Which was no wealth - but they did have ways of getting together some extra cash at times - like to pay for the local school teacher by letting someone else farm a field or two of yours.

Sharecroppers often didn't have that option.

[journalist3072]

21. Janice Rogers Brown

I'm an African-American, and I am offended by the bastards on the right, using her RACE to win her comfirmation. The fact that she is the daugther of a sharecropper has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether or not she's qualified for the position to which she's been nominated!!!

[kliljedahl]

23. If she was born in a log cabin?

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[doublethink]

24. UP....R....... DOWN....... VOTE.

Does that one make you scream too? :grr: Peace. :)

[Generator]

25. Steven Colbert

The Daily Show. After the Dem convention July 2004.

"You think that's something, Jon, I am the son of a goat ball licker."

Hardest I ever laughed in my life. You just brought this memory back.

Cheers!

If you get a chance see this show.
