I followed the link and found this item.

The locals are going mental in Iraq because the U.S. is using dogs to sniff out bombs:

Don't like dogs? Okay, we'll be sensitive to your culture and retrain some of those truffle-sniffing pigs and use them instead. Will that make you happy?

What?

[austinTparty]

Pathetic, isn't it?

[William McKinley]

Yeah, I think I am right. I think it is the one Hatch had up. See this article.

[Dolphy]

I read today that when this was first published it was associated with a couple of the left leaning groups that have publicly criticized this nominee. Since then their names have been pulled.

[FreedomCalls]

Damn!

I just sent it to Drudge and Washington Times. I doubt it will get anywhere but the spam basket but I tried. Newsmax usually acts like they got an exclusive when they find things on FR, I'll send it to them too.

"What do you suppose the reaction would have been if a CONSERVATIVE publication had run such a caricature of a LIBERAL black female nominee, being applauded by three LIBERAL blacks whom the publication dislikes?" That publication would have been "John Rocker'd" overnight. Yet when the political tables are turned, it's just mildly pooh-poohed.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, about the only people who will even know this disgusting cartoon exists are those of us who frequent Free Republic, and similar venues. Why don't the Republicans take a page out of the RATs playbook when a situation like this arises? Had a liberal judicial nominee been portrayed in this manner, the Dems would make damn sure this story was played up big on every available media outlet. They'd whip the public into a frenzy, just as they did over Trent Lott's comment at Strom Thurmond's birthday celebration. Not the Republicans. Instead, this is just one more outrage that the Republican Party, for whatever reason, will keep to themselves.

"This supposed cartoon will get a pass, whatever it is."

As for 'Mona Lisa'; if I were Condoleeza, I would go on Larry King and have them play it; with all the appropriate kudos to the Libs and their Lib ilk; so to speak. . .

There is absolutely nothing funny about these Libs; in fact they are just plain sickening.

[Update- Here is the original cartoon, from a vapid little page called the The Black Commentator, who describes a sitting Supreme Court Justice of the most populous state in the Union as "a Jim Crow-era judge, in natural blackface." Now that the cartoon has seen the light of day, the racist activists who put the cartoon out in the first place are back pedaling, claiming that they didn't mean to put an "afro" on Justice Brown, but instead, they meant to put a "fright wig" on her. You can be your own judge as to whether you want to take these people at their word. If you look at the page "explaining" the cartoon and the cartoon itself, you can't help but be disgusted.

Senator Orrin Hatch pointed out this racist cartoon yesterday afternoon in a spirited defense of Justice Brown and a rightful condemnation of the bigots at The Black Commentator. Wait, did you miss it? Funny, there were three or four articles when I pulled up a Google search with "orrin hatch rogers brown"...

I can't wait to see if there actually is an e-mail with racial comments on it being circulated among Senate Democratic staffers.]

The "rumor" link above:

I work in the D.C area in a building with lots of government contacts (lobbyists, policy writers, etc.). While standing outside, a lady says "The Democrats have finally been caught". Apparently, an internal email written by a Dem slams a new judical appointee (a black woman) who has been proposed by Bush was leaked. Someone drew a caricature of a women with a big afro, etc. (typical anti-black b.s.) with wording to the affect "how will she fit into the building" and "are we ready for this" "looks like Condi" accompanied the drawing. Memo has been forwarded to the Washington Post and will be in tomorrow's paper.

I wonder if this is the same cartoon that Hatch had up during the opening of the hearings, that he refused to put away.

It is the same cartoon. It was shown on C-SPAN last night while Hatch was referring to it.

[pogo101]

At least Hatch stuck the cartoon in the Dems' faces throughout the hearing and refused to take it down.

Here is what Justice Brown actually looks like:


To me, that looks like a pretty stock racist drawing of an overweight woman with oversized lips and an afro. Justice Brown appears to be a striking woman with no such features. Read the page "explaining" the cartoon and the cartoon itself, you can't help but be disgusted.

"Not the Republicans. Instead, this is just one more outrage that the Republican Party, for whatever reason, will keep to themselves."

This 'turn the other cheek' does not work with the Dems; it does not tame them; make the 'nicer'; they just take it as weakness; another free pass for them to step on any Republican's face.

We should never stoop to their level; but we should be taking every opportunity they give us, to inform the public as to just 'what' these people really are.

How about Hannity and O'Reilly? Send it to Drudge via Rush's program site?

I wish anyone would pay attention to this, but I doubt it.

"This 'turn the other cheek' does not work with the Dems; it does not tame them; make the 'nicer'; they just take it as weakness; another free pass for them to step on any Republican's face."

It's chilling when thinking about the rude behavior of Dems, how it mirrors the behavior of the arab terrorists and radical islamists. We can kind of understand where the radical islamists are coming from - low i.q.'s, growing up in hell-holes, being brainwashed by their families and deprived of intellectual nourishment, taking part in sadistic rituals...

Hmmn.

"At this rate, the Democratic party will be out of business in 10-15 years."

They deserve to be.
