Democrats ask the press to smear Frank Ricci
American Thinker ^

Posted on 07/13/2009 10:58:13 AM PDT by navysealdad

No doubt the liberal Journo List of bloggers, reporters, and columnists thought this up. It's just their speed - smearing a private citizen who gets in the way of their agenda.

In this case, the victim is firefighter Frank Ricci from New Haven, CT who sued after he was denied promotion when test results were thrown out because no minority fire fighter passed. This case was going to be a prime topic of testimony during the upcoming Sotomayor confirmation hearings and the liberals want to make sure that Ricci can't damage the far left judge's chances.

If they want the media to know about this they’ll have to post it at DailyKOS

Liberals CANNOT argue the rational and legal merits and demerits

of the case upon which the SCOTUS recently ruled

in Ricci’s favor,

as part of any approach to judging the Sotomayor judicial appointment,

so they have no choice

but to try to demonize the litigant who won the case,

in spite of Ms. Sotomayor’s opinion against that victory.
