Sweet Jesus I hate right-wingers.....Now the meme is Sotomayor led a terrorist group

[marmar]

And how many of the irretrievably stupid will eat this up? I bet Freaky Fundie Lady at work will be screaming tomorrow about Boricua-Qaeda leader Sotomayor.



from THinkProgress:


Right-wing group launches TV ad claiming Sotomayor led a terrorist organization.

A TV ad by the right-wing Committee for Justice claims that Judge Sonia Sotomayor “led a group supporting violent Puerto Rican terrorists.” The ad also links Sotomayor to “Obama’s buddy Bill Ayres, the unrepentant terrorist who bombed American buildings in the seventies.” Watch: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/14/sotomayor-cfj/


The claim that Sotomayor led a terrorist organization apparently refers to her service on the board of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, a mainstream civil rights organization. It seems that, in the right-wing mind, a group that protects Latinos from race discrimination is exactly the same as al Qaeda.

1. Why take them so seriously?

She's going to be confirmed. Easily.

The far right will say and do what the far right says and does. No one... at this particular point in time ...is paying any mind.

Nor should they.

2. Because this is the shit that convinces looons to kill

IT's this type of rhetoric that sent Oswald over the bend and got Kennedy killed.

3. Oswald...right

I take him at his word when he said he was a Patsy.

[WeDidIt]

4. Damn the realities

Full conspiracy ahead!

5. Some people say they saw her with Bill Ayers once

[Kceres]

6. We should have known.

It was only a matter of time before the nuts started this kind of shit. No surprise here, just disgust. It won't do them any good, however. She will be confirmed. The GOP has no shame.

7. "Boricua-Qaeda"? Sounds like "barracuda" ...

which brings to mind ...

[RebelOne]

8. Sounds like Sean Hannity's talking points.

He seems to be obsessed with Bill Ayers.

9. Desperation And Irrelevance

When you're out of power and live in a parallel universe, anything you can grab onto, you'll run with. Be it pretending about birth certificates or "palling" with terrerists to taking away guns to tracking mud across mom's new carpet. It works even better when your new lie or story meshes with an old lie or story...makes it a lot more "believable" to other like-minded losers.

I'm sure we can play the same 6 degrees of guilt games with every rushpublican with a lot more ease. For example, Beauregarde Sessions and his connections to the KKK.

Remember, the rushpublicans are having a pity party these days for the poor, opressed white christian male.
