“Meanwhile a white man that dodged the draft, had multiple accusations of sexual impropriety is their hero.”
Amen!
“It is not the color of the skin that makes a man, it’s the size of the heart that counts.” That has been my motto for many years.
Don’t get me wrong. I love ethnic jokes. There is something funny about all of us. But, those that have to put down others to build themselves up, must be very small in their own minds.
We are all brothers and sisters here. As soon as we all learn that, we can eliminate those that would use us against each other.
Check forth word at the end of the last parapraph. Tired/tried.
Nice read, Tbm. Justice Thomas can explain himself so well, that the Left want to keep him silenced. They are in a fit that he has written this beautiful autobiography.
The commentary this morning on Reliable Sources actually criticized 60 Minutes for airing the Croft-Thomas interview without interviewing Anita Hill. How many “book” interviews on 60 Minutes have rebullals on the show? Since they almost always do pro-left agenda books, I bet they never do rebuttals.
They just cannot tolerate conservative statements to stand on their merits.
Clarence Thomas is a wonderful role model for all children, especially those who are living in difficult circumstances.
Kevin, Hannity has the interview on now on Fox. It’s a replay and I think Sean said he would have the whole interview.
We will be in serious trouble if that happens.
No response to terror
An attempt to silence talk radio with probable success.

I could go on!
Justice Clarence Thomas must be chuckling to himself as his detractors are running around like enraged monkeys all in a fuss over his new book “My Grandfather’s Son.”
For years, Justice Thomas has quietly stood by while his liberal socialist detractors have openly attacked his rulings from the bench, his convictions and intelligence. Through it all, Thomas has remained unbowed and continues to stand tall above his detractors and token lapdogs[Huh?].
In his book, Justice Thomas states that his Grandfather always expected him to be successful and that failure was never acceptable, something that many young Blacks in America could benefit from hearing today.
Justice Thomas’ detractors claim that he was neither qualified nor had the interest of Black Americans in mind in his rulings. In reality what Justice Thomas' detractors really wanted was a puppet and an activist judge. Justice Thomas was neither. In their minds he had to be destroyed, thus they put Anita Hill in a pretty dress, make up, and created talking points during his 1989 confirmation hearing. Ms. Hill proved to be an example of what you find when you go to a liberal university, wave a few hundred dollars, and promise someone 15 minutes of fame.
Ms. Hill struck me as neither truthful nor very intelligent as she testified before the Judicial Committee Hearing. Every time Ms. Hill spoke, I swear I could see then National Organization for Women’s President Patricia Ireland waving at the cameras from the back of her throat. Justice Thomas is more than right when he states in his book that it was all about abortion and had nothing to do with supposed sexual harassment. Abortion Rights has been seen as a holy grail by the modern Democrat Party and their token sellouts. For those Blacks who are informed, abortion has amounted to nothing more than the ethnic cleansing of our once proud community. Thank God for Justice Thomas standing on conviction and not doing what is expected from a sellout token who seeks to belong to a party that only wants his vote.
The National Organization for Women(NOW) is nothing more than the liberal shock troop of the Democrat Party, just like its counterparts - the NAACP and AFL-CIO. Any minority group of men or woman which does not meet their approval has to be destroyed, just as they tried to do with Justice Thomas.
I think that is the speech I saw a long time ago, maybe 10 years. I was so impressed. I also followed the confirmation hearings. I think he’s great.
I don't know who said it, but I'm sure her co-workers at npr enjoyed the comment.
I think you are right. It was before 2003, and probably before 2000, but I saw it on CSPAN but could not find it archived. It was in front of about 20-30 students and was amazing... and the kids also seemed to be impressed!
This is the money shot in my mind. Because it is the heart of the matter perhaps making it 2 sentences will add some punch to the statement. For instance, ...activist judge. Since JT was neither in their minds he needed to be destroyed.... Good job.
Thanks.
Thomas was nominated because he opposed abortion. The left, led by NOW immediately set out to destroy him. Not finding anything in his past that would disqualify him, they paid an operative to invent stories, which were picked up by the media and the NOW gang and accepted without question as truth, and broadcast all over the media.
They were willing to crucify him just so they could have their sacrament: abortion.
The primary mission of the Democrat party is to turn America into a Euro-style, secular socialist welfare state. Abortion is simply a weapon of opportunity which they used to dust off whenever they had to. Plus, abortion has always been critical to the rat fundraising machinery - - it’s right up there with the “jackpot justice” trial lawyers’ lobby as far as being a source of loads of cool campaign cash - - but in the end, it all comes down to socialism and the fascist power that Democrat politicians can wield when they have finally stripped Americans of their freedom by determining winners and losers through oppressive taxation and redistribution. (Whew! That was some sentence...!).
The rats fully understand that their agenda will never be realized through elections and so they long ago directed their energies toward packing the courts with liberal activists. They are just fine with implementing their aganda through judicial fiat. The last thing the rats want are justices who respects the Constitution and understand that the Constitution contains ITS OWN mechanism for change and revision - - the amendment process.
No, the rats need justices who will rule based on the chic political correctness of the day; they need justices who see the Constitution merely as a “guideline”, a “living document” and to hell with the cumbersome amendment process. They need more justices like Ginsburg, Stevens, Souter, and especially Breyer.
By no stretch of the imagination did Judge Thomas match that description. What made matters worse for the rats was that Thomas was black, and the rats had always figured that THEY were the ones who would appoint black justices, and those black justices would ALWAYS be reliable liberal activists like Thurgood Marshall.
No. Judge Thomas did not fit the bill, not at all. The rats HAD to stop his confirmation by any means necessary, and abortion was the tool they used to incite the bitter bull-dykes of the feminist left. (Remember, at that time the radical feminist left was still a credible and powerful political lobby in this country, much the way the MoveOn mice and the Kos Kidz are today, and each group knew that their fortunes rose and fell together.)
To summarize, the rats knew that Thomas stood in the way of their agenda. They used abortion as a tool to incite the feminist left, who they knew would take up thre fight to stop Judge Thomas’s confirmation. Sure enough, the feminist left went into full battle mode and came up with Anita Hill and that woman judge from California who was nailed cold as a liar by none other than Arlen Specter.
Fortunately, the attempt at a high-tech lynching fell flat on its face. (Justice Thomas is my favorite SC justice.)
By the way, have you noticed that abortion is not nearly the powerful tool for the Democrats that it once was? The rats have downplayed the issue as part of their strategy to con the ignorant chattering class into believing that they, the Democrats, believe in God and have values, etc. Additionally, Americans are generally sick and tired of the abortion battle. So now abortion is mainly a weapon that Republicans use against each other. Ironic, isn’t it?
Well, you asked for opinions!

A fine man, Kevin — a credit to the United States.
Good article, and the Malveau comment was abhorrent. I recall emailing Bonnie Erbe a couple of times a few years ago, but her responses were well left of anything I can accept for truth and honesty. Best wishes.
Judge Thomas did a great interview on Hannity’s America show tonight. He puts a proper perspective on how he was mistreated by Democrats during his confirmation hearings, which should have been some of the proudest moments of his life.
If she is elected, we the pajamadeen, will be annihilated.
It broke my heart to hear Justice Thomas say in a Sean Hannity radio interview that he has not had a moment of the enjoyment you would expect from being nominated to the Supreme Court, since Pres. GHW Bush nominated him. He has nothing good to say about Washington, D.C. He must feel so alone. I’ll be showing my appreciation to him for his constitutional scholarship and many accomplishments by buying his book. It’s the least I can do.
The store didn't have any copies.
Yes! This was clear to me at the time of the hearings, which I watched almost in their entirety.
Because of my unusual combination of political beliefs, I was in a unique position to see that the attacks on Justice Thomas were driven by the pro-abortionists.
I was a Leftist who happened to be anti-abortion and I was shocked at the way my fellow Liberals attacked Justice Thomas.
I was also shocked at the way the press reported the hearings. The MSM's summaries of each session bore little no resemblance to the actual hearings.*
My eyes were opened as I watched my fellow Liberals smear a decent human being. I was angered by their distortions.
My fellow Liberals behaved like mean and nasty people.
I could no longer associate myself with bullies who obviously were only pretending to be kind-hearted or loving people.
*I remember, most of all, the reporters' dismissive attitudes toward the testimony by the women who spoke in support of Justice Thomas.
