Buchanan - "This is a textbook example of what liberals used to call McCarthyism."

Excuse me. Are you guys now proud of McCathyism?

It was during the second day of questioning that Sam Alito's wife broke down, wept and left the room after hearing Sen. Kennedy imply that her husband was a bigot.

How much is Alito's wife getting paid by the RNC for the waterworks?

What was Kennedy's evidence?

In 1985, Sam Alito belonged to Concerned Alumni of Princeton. He had joined to protest the ouster of ROTC from campus. Alito was neither an officer nor active, but like future Sen. Bill Bradley, he joined.

Bradley lasted two publications of CAP's paper called Prospect. He quit when he found out how extremist CAP's agenda was.

What were CAP's sins? Headed by National Review publisher William Rusher, CAP had a magazine called Prospect that carried an essay opposing affirmative action and regretting that Princeton had ever gone co-ed.

They were extremist ideologues like Osama and not just on affirmative action.....on a whole host of issues.

So, what is going on here? Answer: a smear. Because Judge Alito belonged to an alumni group that had a magazine which had an offensive article, he must share those views. Therefore, he is a bigot and the Senate must reject him as morally unqualified to sit on the Supreme Court.

Not a smear. The 50% of the country that thinks Buchanan is a butthole do not want the USSC skewed that far right.

Its too bad GOP extremists can't handled another POV.
