60 minutes is interviewing Clarence Thomas right now.

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. so far I find him arrogant and angry

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Just like always.

He was arrogant and angry during the confirmation hearing, too.

[jefferson_dem]

11. ...and intellectually vacant.

No surprise he never asks questions or authors opinions.

There's very little there there.

I wonder how he justifies his narrow, backwards view of the Constitution, the Equal Protection Clause in particular, given all the racial discrimination and prejudices he claims to have been pesonally subjected to.

[Cleita]

3. I noticed that 60 minutes is two hours long tonight. I don't

get it for several hours, but if it's two hours of Thomas, I ain't watching yet my guide only lists Thomas as being on.

[Hissyspit]

14. Trying to compete with "The War?"

[glarius]

28. Steve Croft (CBS) is doing their best to make Thomas look good.

The way he allowed Thomas to dismiss Anita Hill as a liar. As I remember it, weren't there other women who came forward at the time who told the same story about him as Anita Hill?

[BrklynLiberal]

4. What could he possibly say that would be worth hearing??

[mediaman007]

6. I doubt he will comment on any issues that confront our nation,

or its people.

Here is a man that places corporations above people.

[rodeodance]

8. issues come out in his angry responses--such as 'working hard" pull yourself

up" you let me down.

[rodeodance]

7. oh, you never know. I am curious about him-other people.

[Suich]

5. I'll pass.

With all his ranting against Liberals in his book, I can't believe he's actually a sitting Supreme Court judge. He doesn't even pretend to be impartial.

[spanone]

9. and it's quite a snooze....

:boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:

[Raine]

10. That slimeball

has nothing to say that I want to hear. :puke:

[classof56]

22. DITTO!! eom

[durrrty libby]

12. my impression ...intelligent, fascinating, little compassion

[Hissyspit]

13. Watching: What a jerk. I have no problem with iconoclasts, but

he's just a hypocritical asshole. NEVER should have been confirmed. He's angry because people figured out his true nature.

[many a good man]

15. He's a fecking FREAK

Justice Clarence Uncle Thomas as tells you all you need to know about the modern movement Conservatism.

[PDittie]

16. This is a very bitter man. eom

[madrchsod]

17. one of the most dangerous men in the united states

roberts,thomas ,and scalia are the three most dangerous men in the usa..

[City Lights]

18. Why are they interviewing him?

He never has anything to say. :shrug: Please don't tell me 60 Minutes gave him air time simply to promote his book.

Thanks for watching, rodeodance. :patriot: :yourock:

[spanone]

19. that's it, to sell a book. and ego.

[undeterred]

20. Competing with Desperate Housewives?

How about Desperate Supremes?

[Red Zelda]

23. Typical 60 Minutes horseshit

what an awful program

[City Lights]

26. The "lib'rul" media at work.

:puke:

[democrat2thecore]

29. Like they would pass up the FIRST interview EVER with this justice?

CBS, we at DU, nobody has to agree with Clarence Thomas to listen to what he has to say. To only listen and read our own beliefs is very small indeed. Do some of you really expect 60 Minutes to ONLY interview people with whom WE agree with? And when they don't - they're "scum?" That's all so silly.

[Red Zelda]

32. Wake up

this freak Thomas is on because he has a book to push. 60 Minutes has gone so far to hell it's not worth a dime anymore. Think of all the stories they SHOULD do and don't. Then there's their poorly done sports stories and anything Leslie Stool ... er, Stahl ... gets her hands on. How about two hours on election fraud, Lez? Nah, gotta go interview Alan Alda or Pavarotti or some other info-tainment horseshit. There's more revealing news on the Simpsons.

[spanone]

21. why would Anita Hill lie? why? will CBS give her air-time to respond?

so he's saying 'they' set up Anita Hill to destroy him because of his opinion on abortion

[democrat2thecore]

24. To those who won't watch

Hey, I disagree with this guy as much as anyone here. But....I hate it when I read people at DU say they won't watch or listen to any Republican/conservative, whatever. To me, if you can't listen to what those who you oppose have to say, it shows a certain smallness. It's petty to act like there's something wrong with simply watching an interview with a member of the Supreme Court. If we get to where we only watch, listen, read, etc. to those with whom we agree - we will all seem to become kool-aid drinking robots who can't stand up and be challenged, accept it, refute it and go on. But, to just watch an interview is somehow.....wrong? I find that sad and rather immature. Just my opinion - so - flame away.

[durrrty libby]

27. I agree 100%. It's sad to see so many closed minded people.

I found the interview interesting

[Webster Green]

33. That is absurd!

Not wanting to listen to that fascist asshole doesn't make one closed minded.

I've got better stuff to do with my time. I've got that dude's number already. He's a worthless piece-o-shit.

[durrrty libby]

36. Thank you for sadly proving my point

[Webster Green]

37. Great! Keep us filled in on the blatherings of "Long Dong Thomas"

Can't wait to hear all the brilliant insights.

[Dave From Canada]

30. Well said. I don't know a lot about the US supreme court, but I found the interview very interesting

[bbinacan]

31. Thank you so much

for saying that. I was thinking the same thing. I noticed one on this thread called him an Uncle Tom. To me, that's racist.

[Ninga]

25. He can barely contain his anger and is very dismissive, he does not appear to me to be

have a judicial "temperament"

Our country has suffered and will suffer from the Bush legacy and certainly from Clarance Thomas.

[mitchum]

34. Is he talking about porn?

[blogslut]

35. you owe me a keyboard

:hi:
