Nominee Because He’s Black…



Another day, another Dem screaming racism. What is really sad about all this is that when a real case of racism occurs, they have cried wolf so many times, nobody will pay attention. These Dems are just pathetic.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) took to the Senate floor Wednesday night to slam fellow senators for what he called their “shameful” vote to block the nomination of a respected civil rights lawyer to a top Justice Department post.

Harkin, who has a law degree, said the vote against Debo Adegbile shows the Senate measures nominees according to race, and suggested the lawyer would have been confirmed as head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division if he was white instead of biracial. Adegbile was attacked by senators for heading the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, which represented murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal decades after a death sentence for killing a Philadelphia police officer.

“We sent a message: We have a double standard. A terrible double standard,” Harkin said, pointing out that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts once worked on behalf of a mass murderer.

“Here’s the message we sent today,” Harkin said. “You young people listen up. If you are a young white person and you go to work for a law firm … and that law firm assigns you to a pro bono case to defend someone who killed eight people in cold blood … my advice from this, what happened today, is you should do that … Because if you do that, who knows? You might wind up to be the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court.

So, the Democratic senate is a bunch of racists.

He definitely just called 7 fellow Dems racists.

What do they suggest, vote for him just because he's black? He obviously doesn't fit the other necessary requirements.
