Let's just put it this way. Anita Hill was evidently a product of affirmative action. Although she was a graduate of Yale Law School, she was dumber than a rock, and meaner too.

Clarence Thomas shows what a man can achieve with intelligence, virtue, determination, and hard work.

[srmorton]

The only good (and smart) thing Arlen Spector ever did in his entire Senate career was to champion Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas would probably be filibustered if he were to come before the Senate today.

And your industry...or precisely this media industry that is in trouble based on a shrinking customer base... says Thomas.
Ergo their need or better requisite for sensationalism starting with this never ending upcoming apocalypse of global warming, then rich poor, smooth lying politicians that rescue humanity from wars, just to name a few.
Why did this research release that reading/watching media (industry) causes depression get so quickly buried?
Be selective when watching, go and cancel your paper to save trees.

I wonder if Clarence Thomas is a freeper or at least a lurker? :)

his decisions are close to how most of us would decide.

[TASMANIANRED]

I remember 1968.. There was no affirmative action.

Merit was more likely to be rewarded than anything else in most situations.

For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the guy, but there was a radio talk show host out of Florida, who had this show called "For the People," who also ran a hotel down there, who had a serious warning about the media, many years ago...

He said that he was talking to a number of journalism students, and asked them why they were interested in journalism, and every one of them said, (something along the lines of) "to make the world a better place." None of them said anything about "reporting the news," or "making sure that the 'truth' got out." But that they were going to use the news to make the world "a better place."

That's just scary!

Ah! The guy's name is (or was) Chuck Harter (sp?). A very serious populist, neither conservative nor liberal. He was my first introduction to serious talk radio.

Clarence Thomas is a wise man. The MSM is second only to Islamic terrorists as a threat to this country. And since we started crushing terrorists, the media is rapidly moving to first place.

[B Knotts]

Justice Thomas has long been my favorite jurist.

[TAdams8591]

Can't blame Clarence Thomas at all. The media and many on the left have told countless lies about him. It is so completely undeserved.

I'm with Justice Thomas. I hate the MSM too...

Does the Supreme Court ever lie?:

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Speaks
Justice Thomas talks about the lasting influence of the man who guided him through his years at Holy Cross and why he's not a beneficiary of affirmative action

>>"That was the creation of the politicians, the people with a lot of mouth and nothing to say, and your industry," Thomas told Business Week. "Everything becomes affirmative action."

The real story, Thomas says, is that a nun suggested Holy Cross to him. <<

I certainly don't blame him for not giving interviews.

And it the media repeated false information without verifying they are to blame.

But it sounds like there were other actors here too.

I'm just guessing but I wouldn't be surprised if the politicians he refers to didn't like the idea of a conservative black man being appointed to that slot.

BTW, I wonder what Anita Hill is doing these days... That was a well executed Borking - If Thomas had not used the phrase "hight tech lynching" with such force it might have worked.

[EternalVigilance]

Justice Thomas: The best we've got.

[I got the rope]

It was shameful the way the racist democrats and media tried to "lynch" this man on TV.

It was a beautiful thing to watch him massacre all those lightweights on CSPAN and expose them in front of America.

Justice Thomas if you are here...welcome to FR!

[TChad]

USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux once said of Clarence Thomas, "I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter so he dies young like many black men do..." He still looks pretty healthy.

Thomas 1, MSM 0.
