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

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

I agree and the open racists are people who defend affirmative action on this forum. AA is the govt mandated discrimination of white people and the biggest hate crime in america. I oppose AA and thus am anti-racist. I want people judged on merit and no special treatment given out based on sex or color.
 
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.

That's not obvious at all. Very likely she got into harvard and graduated and got job offers solely because she's a black female.

We'll put aside racism and bigotry when we end affirmative action. Why are you so opposed to judging people on merit?
 
Unfortunately, due to the racist affirmative action policies in america, it's impossible to tell if she's qualified or not.

LOL....oh puh-lease. If you want to see racism...you need to look in a mirror. You will probably see something very telling staring back at you if you are willing to look. Then again...most racists fail to recognize it.

HaHaHa!! That's funny. :lamo

You want them judged on their merit, so you entirely dismissed the resume and qualifications of Lynch and claimed that this Harvard Law grad would be a waitress without AA. It's attitudes like that that made AA necessary.
 
another affirmative action poster child who has spend almost 40 years getting positions solely due to her race

Seeing the characters here spouting this stuff...why do I suspect that Rush or one of the other right-wing propogandists made this a big topic of their show yesterday?
 
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

As has been pointed out to me on this very board, when I criticized the actions of the government of Israel, this board is not a democracy and is privately owned. Therefore the site mods can do as they well please if they believe it in the best interest of the board. The site owns the playing court and makes the rules, so offender can take his ball and play elsewhere.

I just can't imagine a person so hateful and racist they post a black woman, especially the first lady as an ape. And I will be disappointed if the mods just sit back and let it happen.
 
The crazy is strong in this thread. I've yet to read a single complaint that isn't "I don't agree with her politics" or "she's black, therefor she's dumb".

I wouldn't know. I don't listen to him. I do note that the people who seem most devoted to his show are the far lefties who seem to live for a reason to whine about Rush

are you denying that the new AG is not an affirmative action poster child? She is the same age as me. I had friends at her college and her law school. If she had been white-none of those people would have ever have met her

I worked for the DOJ for 24 years. There are hundreds of attorneys smarter and more accomplished than she is. just as there were many of us with better credentials than Holder. and Holder had far better credentials than this current quota case

Why is it 'very likely?' Obviously you have no f'ing clue what her grades were, or her qualifications, but you assume she's unqualified and an AA admission for the simple reason she's black and a woman. I guess only only white guys are qualified to get into Harvard and get good jobs....

I'd have that debate with some people, but for some strange reason I suspect it would be a waste of time with you. Not sure why - gut feeling of some kind.... :doh

What does that mean?

Share with us her grades, LSATs (if that was a thing back then), maybe her extracurriculars, her essays. Why are you so certain your (obviously HIGHLY qualified) buddies wouldn't have had to associate with this riff raff?

Oh, yeah, she's BLACK! Proof enough I guess... LOL.

And I'm sorry but the double standard for rich white boys is staggering. Ask your friends in Harvard how many of the rich white boys and girls wouldn't have been there if not for rich daddy paving the way for legacy admissions.

Yea, I'm sure the DOJ just kept her around cause she's black :roll:

I've read too many of your posts TD. If someone disagrees with your politics you start name calling and calling into question their intelligence, their abilities, their qualifications. You're a biased political hack. If you want to tell me unaccomplished she is then give me a name and lets compare them against her and lets see if she's really as poor of a choice as you say.

i saw no post where anyone challenged that reality

the mods allow all kinds of stupidity to be posted on these boards
and i appreciate that large degree of tolerance
from what i see, they draw the line at personal insults
while an ignorant forum member might post something you don't like, that should not be a basis for censorship
and like you, i am voicing my opinion, as i have no authority to censor or not censor. simply sharing an opinion that differs from yours so that those in authority can recognize that your views are not wholly representative of the membership

i find it almost laughable that we recently had a clown as attorney general, and nothing was made of the fact that gonzales was selected from the minority/hispanic community

Gosh, what I hope you're saying isn't true..... political appointments are....POLITICAL!!! OH NOOO my faith in humanity is shattered!! Every other President in our history before the Obama has scoured the country for the most qualified on paper appointment for every position!! Now I'm learning that who you are and who you know MATTERS!??!! AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

LMMFAO.

The hilarious thing is she's no different than every other person to get appointed to a high profile political post like that - she's spent her life kissing the right...rings, and making the right connections and taking the right jobs, and all the rest. But when a white man does all that we accept it as the nature of the beast, as unsightly and borderline corrupt as such a process ALWAYS is. But now that a black woman is doing it, now it's somehow unfair that better (white male) people who didn't kiss the right rings got passed over. Give me a break. It's life in politics, same as it's been since the founding.

What where her grades? Why was she not a qualified student for law school?

Just seems a little more than a coincidence that within an hour a half dozen of the right-winger took to this site to start spouting off about "affirmative action" and the attorney general. Do you really believe that people are going to believe that you all just came up with the same idea all at the same time?

As usual, your comment adds nothing of substance to the discussion.

A better account of her qualifications.

Well, there you go - Turtle Dude was right:

Lynch graduated from high school as valedictorian,

Valedictorian is bad, right? Bottom fifth as I recall. Here's more:

In her sixth year as a litigator at Cahill, Lynch began rethinking her career path after a secretary found her passed out at her desk. “I spent the night in the hospital, diagnosed with exhaustion, with an IV drip in me, thinking about a lot of things,

Dennis H. Tracey III, a partner at the firm, called Lynch, who was on vacation in between jobs, and asked if she might be willing to talk and perhaps to assist the attorneys representing Arthur Andersen once she started working a few weeks later.

“She said: ‘No problem. I’ll come in this afternoon.’ She abandoned her vacation, came in, met with the client and worked on the case from that moment on,” Tracey said. “It was incredible. I’d never experienced it in all the years as a managing partner.”

Typical lazy AA hire. Goofing off in the hospital and taking a vacation between jobs! I knew it!

Obviously only got anywhere because she's black....
 
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.

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.

We don't know her grades. As with obozo, the press won't investigate lynch.

Is anybody required to show their grades?
 
Liberal racism on display once again. White men should not even be considered for AG. It always has to go to a black and his or her qualifications cannot be challenged.
 
Is anybody required to show their grades?

Bush was. The press attacked him for being a poor student who got into yale thru "rich boy" affirmative action. Conservatives thus have a right to accuse lynch of getting black AA. Obama and ben carson have already admitted they got it.
 
We don't know her grades. As with obozo, the press won't investigate lynch.

RRIIIIGGGHHHHTTT. You don't know her grades, and she's black ===> unqualified! Got it. :lamo

Quick, what were the grades of Meese? Thornburgh? Barr? Ashcroft? Gonzales? Mukasey?
