Looks like the idiots who were suckered by Bush are finally waking up. And the 51% percent who allegedly voted for the smirking chimp hardly constitute a mandate for his disastrous policies.

By the way, I’m Italian American and I’m against “Scalito.” These so-called Italian American organizations are a joke. They speak only for themselves, i.e., corporate fatcats and other privileged types. They obsess about imagined insults (”Scalito”) and whine like babies about The Sopranos but they’re almost all Republicans who support far worse things than TV shows about fictional gangsters. Vaffanculo to them anf to Alito.

Ironic coming from you. We all know you have more facial hair than your husband. Your ‘gender confusion’ would explain your acting out – that’s for sure.

If you have a problem with Alito, why not logically outline what those problems are, then try to persuade others to your side. If your arguments are valid points of concern (without resulting in personal insults), then most people will take you seriously. If not, then you should shut up.

A Liberal blogger using the name “Dago Scalito”, screams that Republicans are being racist…. If the nominee was black – would your blog-handle contain the “N”-word?

This is what the left has to offer….nice….Keep it up.

Hatch planted the inflammatory rhetoric early and will now count on the Bush ministry of state sponsored news, Fox News Network and the mainstream media to advance their attacks on Democrats and others who oppose Alito, regardless on what grounds. As to the Italian-American population nationwide Hatch must presume that all of them support Alito, not because he’s qualified, but because he’s Italian-American. What an insult to them!

It’s especially hypocritical because Orrin Hatch’s lily-white state of Utah which has less than 1% black population gave Bush a bigger margin of victory than any state north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Utah, without question, has one of the largest collective population of racists in the country and for Orrin Hatch to begin playing the race card this early was predictable. It is a strategy to get the heat off of the corrupt and traitorous acts Bush has committed since the Iraq preemptive war was launched and after his disastrous Harriet Miers debacle.

With the treasonous Karl Rove still in charge of “catapulting the propaganda”, of course, dividing the country and stirring up their Screech Radio hatemongers with yet more lies and deceit represents the entire unprincipled, corrupt, corrosive Republican Party.

Orrin Hatch is simply one of the messengers of their divide and conquer Right Wing ideologues who will sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee where yet another rubber stamp Supreme Court nominee will be confirmed.

“I don’t know. I think the democrats, i’m sitting here holding in my hands a disgusting document, put out not for attribution. The democrats are circulating it. It’s a complaint sheet against judge alito’s nomination. The first thing they nail is he failed to win a mob conviction in 1988. They nail him on not putting italian mobsters in jail. Why would they bring this up? This is either a very bad coincidence or very bad politics. Either way it will hurt them. This document, not abortion rights, not civil rights but that he failed to nail some mobsters in 1988. This is the top of their list. Amazingly bad politics.”

Seriously what is the game here ? That you really needed to look for quotes in the media to find out if the devout Catholic who has been nominated has certain views on abortion ?

This is like Indians digging into the background of Hindus to see if they’ve made any prejudicial comments about the beef industry. Just cut to the chase already and if you want an atheist say you won’t be happy with anyone but an atheist. Then be unhappy.

Or if you don’t like religious influence over your one-nation-under-god in-god-we-trust society then move. FFS though stop acting so suprised and outraged. It only serves to make you look gullible.

Alito is a neocon scumbag and doesn’t deserve the recognition of being italian. I bet he’s a cross dresser though.

You are all AMERICANS. As we have witnessed when an Australian TV show, fooled some Texans into sticking pins onto a map of the world, of which countries America should invade next. They were sticking them on Australia, believing them to be Iraq or North & South Korea. Granted Australia was labelled as such, but please, not having a general idea where these countries are situated.

Iraq borders Iran, let’s see who are America occupying at the moment in time. And America was at war with the North Koreans only fifty years ago. Don’t these dumb-ass Americans learn anything in school, like World History and Geography?

I had to laugh when one person, stated that he couldn’t believe that South Korea was so much smaller than North Korea, on the map. It was Tasmania and Australia he was looking at, on the map. Tasmania is an island, off the south coast of Australia.

My Grand-Father was French, I don’t say I’m French-British, I’m not, I’m British. I’m very proud of my heritage, and I have a lot of family members who are French. But I was born and raised in England, and I am therefore British.

Think of yourselves as AMERICANS, and don’t let George W. Bush and his government, separate you and categorise you. So that they can garner votes from you, based on your ethnicity.

Italians are not a race so slurs against them are not racist

Good – so the use of the term Dago presents no problem

EXCELLENT

There is no race bearing in this matter and “Grunge” is just spewing the Rovian talk points.

Hunter of The Daily Kos is quite thorough on this matter. Read for yourself:

That history and reality is why I am one of those Italian Americans reacting strongly against the cynical ploy of trying to falsely claim racism to toxify criticism of a dangerously far right Supreme Court nominee. That Scalia and Alito are Italian American is as much as source of shame to me as Clarence Thomas is to many if not most African Americans. Alito must be opposed and defeated.
