Audacity of Truth
Alito is “extremist” but Ginsburg is a “moderate”
Betcha didn’t know that …. you do now, though, thanks to the stellar efforts of the MSM to put Alito in the “extremist” camp. Check out Newsbusters for the full story.
On Oct. 27 I predicted the following in my post titled It’s The Fault Of The “Extreme Right Wing” : “Watch for the media to pick up on this talking point as well [...] When a Democrat president does something to, in part, please his base, he’s “keeping a promise” or “keeping his word.” When a Republican does it, he’s acting to “quickly please the right flank of his party.” I’m sure over the next several weeks we’ll hear a lot of terms being thrown around by the MSM like “extreme right wing” or “far right flank” and other such descriptions of the people who opposed Miers nomination. ”
The media is very predictable, so it wasn’t exactly a leap to make that prediction, I should note. Still somewhat amusing (in an exasperating sort of way) to see it happen, nevertheless.
Hat tip: Drew at the Conservative Outpost
Update/Related: ST blog reader Dan sends this tip about an interview Hugh Hewitt did with Fort Worth Star Telegram columnist Bob Ray Sanders. Note this, shall we say, ‘interesting’, exchange:
HH: Good. It’s been reliably reported to me, and I want to give you a chance to confirm or deny that this morning, you said Justice Alito would do just as well in a white robe as a black one.
BRS: Okay, well, you don’t have reliable sources, because that’s not what I said about Judge Alito.
HH: Then tell us what you said.
BRS: Well, I was asked…we were talking about Judge Alito, and last week, after Harriet Miers has been thrown overboard by the president, or at least jumped with a little push from the president, I whould say, I did say that the people who didn’t want Harriet Miers, namely those on the right, didn’t think she was enough of a zealot, and would probably want somebody who would be as comfortable in a white robe as in a black robe.
Here’s Mr. Sanders email info in case you’d like to contact him in order to let him know what you think of his outrageous remarks:

Sister,
You may want to link over to RadioBlogger. Duane has a transscript of a Hugh Hewitt interview with a Fort Worth Star Columnist who declared all of Bush’s picks would be more comfortable in white robes (KKK) than black robes.
The MSM, especially those who spout without facing the music for their manure dumps, is increasingly populated by whackjobs.
Thanks! Just now blogged about it thanks to an earlier tip …
I know both Hugh Hewitt and the RadioBlogger. Bob Ray just uttered the “Dean Scream” of Alito’s Nomination.
I’m surprised that more conservatives haven’t spoken out about Clinton’s pick of Ginsburg, who was not only a out-and-out liberal but a lawyer for the ACLU, yet only. I’m not certain where Alito stands on affirmative action (which I support), but from what I’ve read and seen I’d support him.
If Ginsburg is a moderate I’m young, thin, and rich!
“Alito is “extremist” but Ginsburg is a “moderate”"
Wasn’t she the one that was recommended by Hatch?
h.garner, as usual you have it wrong. Hatch was asked by Clinton about Ginburg. Hatch only said that she was qualified, not that he agreed with her judicial philosophy or her politics. If Hatch applied the Kennedy standard, he have told Clinton to shove Ginsburg and all the left wing weirdos Hillary was pushing.
“h.garner, as usual you have it wrong. Hatch was asked by Clinton about Ginburg. Hatch only said that she was qualified, not that he agreed with her judicial philosophy or her politics.”
I thought he volunteered her. I don’t think he would volunteer an extremist.
“If Hatch applied the Kennedy standard, he have told Clinton to shove Ginsburg and all the left wing weirdos Hillary was pushing.”
That’s Hatch’s problem, I guess.
But Ginsberg is a moderate.
Compared to Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, et al, that is.
BobRay Sanders sez in a recent interview: “I did say that the people who didn’t want Harriet Miers, namely those on the right, didn’t think she was enough of a zealot, and would probably want somebody who would be as comfortable in a white robe as in a black robe.”
So- – - I gather you think Judge Alito might be at least as well qualified as that paragon of democrat virtues, senator “Sheets” Byrd?
