Cue the Left Cult desperation

Priceless

It is remarkably frustrating to blog the Alito hearings, feel the righteous indignation of people in the comments sections all over the blogosphere that the supreme court is in danger of making a major lurch to the extreme right with the potential appointment of a bigoted, sexist, entitled, slavering chickenhawk like Alito, and see it reflected nowhere in the traditional media.

Every time it feels like some momentum is being gained, CNN blows it all away with the sweep of a facile headline. Pick up a paper or turn on cable news and on cue they are parroting all the GOP's talking points -- Alito's a moderate, he'll keep an "open mind" on abortion, and oh the poor frumpy sobbing wife.

Why is Sam "bigoted"? cuz he is Not Left.

Why is Sam "sexist"? cuz he is Not Left.

Why is Sam "entitled"? (let's not mention his modest, middle class upbringing by two high school teachers) cuz he is Not Left (and therefore not constantly grovelling and apologizing for being melanin-challenged and having a penis).

Why is Sam a "slavering chickenhawk?" cuz .....

And isn't it fun, in a sick kind of way, to see a ahem FEMINIST dismiss Mrs. Alito as a "frumpy sobbing wife?"

Cuz, ya know, if you're Not Left you're a Not Authentic Woman.

Almost as amusing as the Cult dissembling that Sam Alito is not an authentic man.

You ain't kidding. I once ran into a discussion about myself on someone else's blog, where I was called not only a bitch, but "not a real woman" because I'm conservative.

Marian,
You should see what the Freepers and the folks at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler have written about me. Puerile name-calling is not a monopoly of the Left.

Alito's OK. But the Right just doesn't give up.

They're upset because US senators actually dare question him in an impolite manner.

Questioning him! QUestioning Mr Alito!

Can you imagine that?! How dare Sen. Kennedy question Mr Alito?!

A Bush nominee; for a position that will give him a lifetime appointment; with no fear of elections and no responsibility to anyone, actually being questioned. Who ever heard of such a thing?

***

Where does the Right get off yapping about how Mr Alito is being questioned?

The US Senate is supposed to advise and consent to judicial nominations. How can this be done without harsh and (sadly) impolite questions.

Brad--I agree. The immature debating style on both sides is unnecessary and stupid.
