Senate confirms lynch as attorney general. 10 "republicans" vote for her

will i empathize with your views, i do not agree with them
that forum member has every 'right' to present him/herself as any of the rest of us
that you do not like it should not cause his presentation to be censored

I think the owners of DP have every right to kick open racists off the forum.

have been to too many such sites where tolerance was not practiced
the result was those remaining forum members essentially held the same views
besides, i would prefer to deal with an overt racist than a covert one ... and there are many covert ones on this site
stick around and embarrass all of them for their ignorant views

There's a difference between kicking out hateful people and suppressing all dissenting voice. There's no danger of DP coming homogenous in political views!
 
She's unqualified because she is black and a woman? Wow....well at least you don't hide your bigotry.

Unfortunately, due to the racist affirmative action policies in america, it's impossible to tell if she's qualified or not.
 
I'd like to see your evidence that Lynch is an "affirmative action baby."

The burden of proof is on the liberals to show she is NOT an AA baby. AA is everywhere. Both obama and ben carson have admitted they got AA.
 
You should be ashamed by youR avatar that makes the first lady look like a monkey. I can't believe that is allowed here and will be complaining to the mods. I would hope the rest of those posters with a shred of decency would follow suit.

As usual, liberals are demanding censorship.

Alright JB. :2wave: Way to knock that BS down. :rock
 
Very well said.

I think Lynch is a poor but entirely predictable pick. But you're making an important point, so thank you.

Another good point would be is that Harvard Attorneys are over-rated.
 
This is the mexico-firster who said illegals have a right to work in america even though the law says they can't!!!! Now she's our top cop.

We've had far worse, and survived.

Gonzales's tenure as U.S. Attorney General was marked by controversy regarding warrantless surveillance and the legal authorization of so-called "Enhanced interrogation techniques," generally acknowledged as constituting torture. Following bipartisan calls for his removal, Gonzales resigned from the office "in the best interests of the department," on August 27, 2007, effective September 17, 2007.[2] Democrats were particularly opposed to Gonzales for his role in the firings of several U.S. Attorneys which they believed had caused his office to become improperly politicized.

I assure you no republican in the senate thinks she's adequate. But ten of them were paid bribes to vote for her.

Nah, 5 Repubs came out from the beginning and said they would accept the nomination. None took Bribes.....but like Cruz said. If the Repubs wanted to.....they could have tanked the confirmation.

Looks like some of those 10 Repubs that crossed over.....are doing that hope routine and with the Demos returning a favor. For some reason they believe the Demos will keep their word.
 
The board notes that all you have is namecalling. thanks for admitting you're in the wrong.

fyi - at no point did I call you a name, I said you look spiteful. Now for someone who came off in the second post declaring a black women without AA would be a waitress, we have all noted how wrong you are.
 
Looks like the right isn't nearly as partisan as I thought. Nearly but not all.

You should be ashamed by youR avatar that makes the first lady look like a monkey. I can't believe that is allowed here and will be complaining to the mods. I would hope the rest of those posters with a shred of decency would follow suit.

Greetings, Enigma001. :2wave:

How does that make her look like a monkey? You're seeing something I'm not. :confused:

Wasn't Gonzales the First Hispanic Attorney General ? Wasn't it considered Historic too?

Yes and yes. :2wave: howdy MMC.

No, the burden is on you to prove your absurd assertions.

Obama didn't admit any such thing, your right wing bloggers fabricated that one.
 
Yes and yes. :2wave: howdy MMC.

Mornin Cresto. :2wave: Hope things have been well with ya.

I thought it was considered Historic too. Wonder how many FOIA's he was holding off too.

So, we will have to go thru this all over again once we get an Asian AG, man and woman.....huh? Then an Indian AG, oh and course then the Ultimate AG. One that is a Muslim.

Should we get this over with quickly so that we can end all the Historic bs and then be left to focus on their records and not playing lapdog?
 
This is insane. Not only is she anti-america, but she is also a double affirmative action baby being both black and female. Totally unqualified but none of that matters anymore. Without AA she'd be a waitress.

Hey, let's not give waitresses a bad name, at least they work hard.
 
"Lynch" is not an appropriate name for an atty. gen. and I don't care what race she is. If she ran for president and Obama was her VP is would be a "Lynch Obama" ticket. How many times would that show up on late night shows?

Sheesh, drivel like that is a terrible waste of valuable bandwidth. Must be a slow day on Stormfront....
 
Unfortunately, due to the racist affirmative action policies in america, it's impossible to tell if she's qualified or not.

Not really - use the same metrics to weigh her career as a white guy. Harvard, Harvard Law, U.S. Attorney, partner in large law firm for a decade, another stint as U.S. attorney. Pretty obvious a lot of powerful and accomplished people in a lot of different contexts believed she was smart, motivated and effective in her job. It's not hard. You just have to put aside racism and bigotry.

Same way the burden is on, say, Romney he's not an affirmative action baby who only got where he is today because daddy was Gov. and CEO of a major auto company? Like that? Or do rich white boys get held to a different standard? The biggest and longest lasting and ongoing affirmative action program in the country is preferential admissions to elite colleges for (mostly white) kids of rich daddies.
 
another affirmative action poster child who has spend almost 40 years getting positions solely due to her race

LOL.

Just curious, beyond the fact she IS black and a woman, care to share what evidence supports such a slur?
 
In theory yes, but it has to be within reason. You cannot appoint a quack to the function of Surgeon General. Selling snake-oil to gullible fools with no medical degree, experience or capacity does not make someone fit to be surgeon general, no matter how much a president would want that.

And you cannot make a pacifist, draft dodging, deserter hippie become secretary of defense.

A president should have a large level of independence for picking his team, but not without oversight. And that is no matter who the president is, democrat or republican, the choice must be a reasonable one or the senate should block it for that reason (not to play political games).
Your hyperbole does nothing to lessen myb statement. No President is going to nominate a completely unqualified person for a cabinet position.
