“racially tinged rhetoric”? You have got to be kidding. Sotomayor makes a blatantly racist statement, and it is “racially tinged” to criticize it? And now Sessions is joining Cornyn in this ridiculous attempt to censor perfectly legitimate criticism.

Does she have any kids? I just wonder. I’m not dissing folks without kids, but there’s always talk about the big perspective you get when you have kids. I have some, and I my experiences post are very different then pre-kids. Is that diplomatic enough?

Ah, I can still remember when Princeton had some good basketball teams, competetive football, some excellent wrestlers, and nothing to apologize for!

I think that the GOP needs to “tone down” its criticism of Americans.

Leave the racist Latina alone. She’s allowed to be a bigot. I'm offended at your bigoted reference to her being "allowed." Your allowance of her bigotry presumes a patriarchal dominance over her racism, reducing it to mere allowed bigotry and thereby denying it the fullest expression of her natural, narrow-minded discriminatory hate-filled racial bias. You, and people like you, are the reason she was victimized into becoming a racist in the first place. You should be ashamed.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said today he was "uneasy" over allegations by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and talk-show host Rush Limbaugh that Sotomayor is racist. I'm "uneasy" that our "elected officials" are spending so much time being "uneasy" about what others, who aren't elected officials, are saying and doing rather than focusing on what THEY should be saying and doing.
This is only about Rush and Newt, rather than Sotomayor, if Republicans spend their time fulfilling the plans of the Dems and their cohorts in the media by responding to what everyone other than Sotomayor has said and done.

Republican leaders on Capitol Hill are rushing to contain racially tinged rhetoric Hilarious. The racially-tinged rhetoric came from her.

The Pubes continue to disappoint. Are there any men of wisdom, resolve and stature left in the Republican party?
None that I can see.
Weaklings and cowards, unfit for office, who have a charge to protect our country, but because of dereliction, are party to destroying it.
I absolutely cannot believe I am witnessing the unraveling of my country before my very eyes.

NatGOP -- trash. Forget them, they can feed their fancies of being relevant.
My money goes ONLY and DIRECTLY to qualified candidates.

This is liberal mediaspeak... Got that right. This is the Post covering for their candidate again. They're trying to create a norm against which anyone who falls may safely be called "racist." Never call a minority racist a racist - it's racism. I'm yawning.

Remember during our opposition to Harrist Myers, when Lindsey Grahamnesty told us to “shut up”?
More of the same.

I absolutely cannot believe I am witnessing the unraveling of my country before my very eyes. Never the less, here we stand. No one seems to understand we are at war, we will either return to our Christian heritage, or we will live under Sharia law.

There will be no toning it down from me. That racist woman got caught making racist comments and she should not get a free pass. She should withdraw her nomination just like the Rats would require a GOP nominee to do.

To: lewisglad
Once again, Republicans can't stop themselves from running like scared bunny rabbits from the Democrat newsrooms. It was Republican cowardice that left Miguel Estrada twisting in the wind, and now that same cowardice again shows its ugly face as Republicans get all knock-kneed about calling a racist scumbag a racist scumbag.
Absolutely freaking pathetic.
Screw you, GOP. My checkbook remains slammed shut.
To: lewisglad
What a bunch of pu**ies. I am so looking for another party. The GOP has seen the last dime from me.
