NOW, let me get this straight ... by Larry Elder FOLLOW the bouncing double standards. President George Bush nominates to the Supreme Court Clarence Thomas, a black man, formerly the head of the Equal Opportunity Commission. Because of Thomas' presumed opposition to affirmative action and abortion on demand, liberals like Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) oppose his nomination. President-elect George W. Bush nominates Sen. John Ashcroft, D-Mo., for attorney general. Ashcroft's critics oppose the nomination, some calling Ashcroft racist for opposing the judicial nomination of Ronny White, a black nominee. Moral to the story? Someone like Kennedy can, for ideological reasons, oppose the judicial nomination of a black. No one calls this bigotry. If, however, a conservative opposes a black jurist -- even for ideological reasons -- he metamorphoses into a Great White Bigot. --------------------------- I wonder, if Teddy were nominated for AG would killing a girl and using family ties to try and cover it up disqualify him ? full article jewishworldreview.com
