Mommie Sean was mean to me .I like Alan but Sean is mean !

And he told evil people to call and email me.

"After making several of these points to Alan Colmes (who was supposed to be interviewing me), Sean Hannity intruded, and when he didn’t like my answers, he cut me off and terminated the interview." What happened to Alan ?

If he thinks Sean was mean have Mathews (Tweety)
interview him ,ask Zell Miller . .

LMAO!!! Ol' Alan is just jealous. What has he EVER done that was important? He recognizes a better lawyer than himself and just chooses to tear him down, rather than confront him on the issues or execute a deep analysis. The Left are like children. And he really needs to give up the Democrap talking point of "so-and-so was against the rights of gays, black, women, ..." That Sh*t is old and played out.

but in the late 1940s and early 1950s, it discriminated against Jews and other minorities

Now it openly and legally discriminates against whites and Alan Dershowitz is on record approving of it, as long as it doesn't apply to Jews. This line that Rehnquist ought to be held responsible for Standford's admission policies is so weak I'm surprised even a dope like Dershowitz would take that tack. This is the same guy who publicly writes articles and books that say Jews shouldn't breed with non-Jews. He has a right to believe that, but not lecture others on the "evils of discrimination" if he does.

I learned from several sources who had known him as a student that he had outraged Jewish classmates by goose-stepping and heil-Hitlering with brown-shirted friends in front of a dormitory that housed the school’s few Jewish students. He also was infamous for telling racist and anti-Semitic jokes.

Alan Dershowitz has spent a lifetime tearing down this society because he is a white gentile hating neo-Nazi genocidal bigot. His activities, unlike the pranks of a rock-headed student, have resulted in real suffering and death (indeed the spectacle of New Orleans is an example of his and his allies handiwork). He literally and consciously has spent his lifetime working for the genocidal extermination of white gentile America. Cultural extermination and physical extermination. Rehnquist may have tastelessly played the Nazi in college but there's a difference between playing a Nazi and being a Nazi.

All this, for refusing to put a deceptive gloss on a man who made his career undermining the rights and liberties of American citizens.

Remember, this is the same fascist jerk who advocated legal torture a short while ago.

"When questioned about the memos by the Senate Judiciary Committee in both 1971 and 1986, Rehnquist blamed his defense of segregation on the dead Justice, stating – under oath – that his memo was meant to reflect the views of Justice Jackson."

It's actually the truth. Both Robert Jackson and Stanley Reed were opposed to overruling Plessy, however they were persuaded by Chief Justice Warren. He first persuaded Jackson (who was by that time lying half-dead in the hospital) and when he finally gave in, he told Justice Reed (who already ordered his clerk to start writing a dissent): "Stan, think about what's best for this country. You're on your own in this now.". BTW, when Vinson was The Chief Justice it looked as if Plessy would be affirmed by a 5-4 vote. It was a widespread belief that apart from Vinson, Jackson and Reed also Justices Clark and Frankfurter were opposed to overruling Plessy. Vinson however died and Earl Warren arrived and Brown was reargued. Everything changed. But Rehqnquist was right. If Warren hadn't practically forced Reed and Jackson into joining the majority it would be probably a 7-2 vote.

I don't think I could say it any better than Jonah Goldberg:

"If you gave Alan Dershowitz a dose of Viagra, his posture would improve, he’d get a ruddy complexion, and he’d grow a few inches taller. It’s doubtful his head could swell any more."

Quite[sic] using the race card when your arguments are invalid.

I wasn't making any argument at all; I had no opinion about Rehnquist, and had never heard Dershowitz's allegations before. I was reacting to extremely heated rhetoric calling Dershowitz a "Jewish supremacist", which aroused suspicion partly because, whatever he may be, he isn't that. He is outspokenly pro-palestinian and pro-two-state-solution.

Now Nixon was definetly[sic] an anti-semite.

Debatable. Some of the quotes attributed to Nixon, according to Garment, are not actually found on the tapes. Those slurs he does utter are always specifically targetted at liberals--i.e., political enemies--and it can be convincingly argued that he opted to use a cheap slur out of political, rather than racial, animosity. He gave many of the highest posts in his government to (conservative) Jews, and not only came out as Israel's best friend, but personally created the rationale that forces even Bush to be nice to Israel: the notion that it is a strategic asset.

But if you look back at history you will find that the only way Israel won the 6 day war was because of Nixons' airlifts to the Jews in their times of trouble.

LBJ was president during the six-days war. You'r thinking of the Yom Kippur war.

Blame the period he grew up in , not the man .

Eeek. Denying the existence of free will... are you a Calvinist, or just a liberal?

If Rhenquist was still an antisemite of any kind he sure fooled Ruth Bader Ginsberg who gave him a lovely condolence statement (the longest of any of the Justices).

I'd be more comfortable with your assertion of the above as facts if Mr. Dershowitz had provided sources for the comments so indicated. It's easy to make claims without a source - and it makes it almost impossible for the accused party to refute the accusations.

Especially when the accused party is dead.

"We hear of this first after Rehnquist is dead?

BULLSH!T!"

Ever the LAWYER, he simply knows that the dead can't sue for slander. What a pig !!!
