White Supremacist Group Posts Doctored Photo Of Sotomayor With KKK Hood

John Aravosis at AMERICAblog notes that the Council of Conservative Citizens — a group the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a “brazenly racist group” — has put up a doctored photo of Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor. In the picture, Sotomayor is wearing a KKK-type hood. On her robe is a raised fist and the words “La Raza”:

sotomayorccc

The right wing has been outraged over the fact that Sotomayor is a member of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization. Last week, former Republican congressman Tom Tancredo made a similar smear against Sotomayor and the group, calling it a “a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses“:

If you belong to an organization called La Raza, in this case, which is, from my point of view anyway, nothing more than a Latino — it’s a counterpart — a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses. If you belong to something like that in a way that’s going to convince me and a lot of other people that it’s got nothing to do with race. Even though the logo of La Raza is “All for the race. Nothing for the rest.” What does that tell you?

“La Raza,” in fact, translates as “the people,” not “the race.” ThinkProgress also spoke to an NCLR spokesperson who confirmed that the logo in the CCC photo is not affiliated with the organization in any way.

CCC has been courted by prominent conservatives such as former Republican Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, who has since renounced the organization. As Tom Edsall wrote in the Washington Post on Dec. 16, 1998:

The CCC, which has strong ties to the old white Citizens Councils, is considered racist by conservatives and liberals. Many of the most prominent figures in the organization are proponents of preserving the white race and culture, which they see as under assault by immigration, intermarriage and growing numbers of Hispanic Americans.

In the spring 1992 newsletter, provided by a Dallas man, Ed Sebasta, who has followed the organization’s activities, Lott is pictured speaking to the group with its banner in the background.

In his speech, Lott, according to the newsletter, called the Citizen Informer, warns against the forces supporting government spending: “We need more meetings like this across the nation” to offset these liberal pressures. “The people in this room stand for the right principles and the right philosophy. Let’s take it in the right direction and our children will be the beneficiaries.”

Last week, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke also embraced the position that Sotomayor is racist, while claiming that he, on the other hand, has “consistently supported true equal rights.”

    When President Obama first met the Saudi royals, he seemed to bow at the waist. Either that or he doubled over in pain. Did he bow? Or didn’t he bow? That was the topic du jour at the press briefing that day.

    But now we have the answer: Obama is, indeed, really bowing to the Saudis as he visits the Middle East this week.

    First, he is bypassing Israel. Visiting the Middle East and not going to Israel would be like touring North America and omitted a stop in the United States. It only makes sense if you interpret it as a deliberate slap in the f ace of Jerusalem and a statement to the Arab world that America’s pro-Israeli policy is changing.

    That is what is really baffling me. Over the past few years I’ve gone from thinking that there were smart people out there with whom I fundamentally disagreed with and I shouldn’t judge their intellect based on that to being terrified if their incompetence, ignorance, and anger.
    Based on how the Republicans run their campaigns, their jurisdictions, and PR, I would not trust them to run my herb garden. 2 hours into it the cilantro would be dead and they’d have buried themselves head first and peed their pants.

    If these racists were claiming to be part of the Democratic Party, I would be furious if the Party leaders didn’t denounce them at every step. But the GNOP seems to be proud of their racists.

    Minorities, women, gays, Muslims, all have been alienated from the GNOP. All they have left are old, rich white guys and some loud ugly ignorant followers.

    Mexican witch? LOL That’s so over-the-top it’s funny.

    Her quote per the CCC (KKK in suits) web site:
    “I think that the only reason Clarence Thomas is on the Court is because he is black. I don’t believe he could have won had he been white. And the reason is, I think it was a cynical ploy by President Bush.”

    Is it possible, just POSSIBLE, that she didn’t have much regard for Thomas’s record? Or his intellect (or lack thereof)? Did you do the research to find out why she objected to Thomas’ nomination? She didn’t oppose him BECAUSE he was black, it sounds like she didn’t think he was qualified on his merit and that she felt that H.W.Bush nominated him for chiefly political reasons.

    Personally, the more I hear about Sotomayor the more I’m starting to think that this is one brave woman who is not afraid to speak the truth.

    The GNOP seems fine with treating all this hate speech like “oh, that’s just Grampa, he’s always sayin’ stuff like that” instead of recognizing that people are listening! The more Tancredo, Rush, Buchanan talk like this, the more the GNOP brand (such as it is) is identified as racist/sexist/bigoted first and all else is secondary.

    Not that I care how low they go, but it is disturbing to have to watch.

    Research before you accuse. That quote wasn’t from Sotomayor, it was from Joe Biden:

    http://theblogprof.blogspot.com/2009/05/flashback-joe-biden-on-scotus-1994-only.html

    And we can argue about whether or not Biden is a racist, but his remark was a fairly common one at the time — Thomas replacing Marshall was about as laughable as the idea of Miers replacing O’Connor. Are you seriously suggesting that Thomas would have gotten the nod had he been white?

    And as to your accusation of hypocrisy, there is actually a valid reason why some might consider Thomas a token while not considering Sotomayor to be. And that’s because Sotomayor’s qualifications are significantly greater than Thomas’s were when he was appointed — her bench experience far exceeds his, her legal career has more depth, and even her grades in school were higher than his. And yes — I believe that any white male with her experience would be a viable candidate for this job.

    By Mexican Witch I can only assume you’re talking about Dominga Ojeda, the horrible old woman from Mañana Es Para Siempre who kept poor Aurora Méndez (and possibly Sanchez) imprisoned for all those years. In which case I totally agree – her own words were in some horrible backwater dialect of Spanish that I could barely stand to listen to. And frankly, I’m not all that disappointed that she died when the club got bombed last week. Far as I’m concerned, she deserved what she got, and I’m not ashamed to say it.

    On the other hand, if you’re attempting to refer to a Supreme Court nominee from the Bronx, I must vehemently disagree. We do not avoid her words about the role of the apellate court and the necessity of diversity in the judiciary. However, we prefer to read them in context, rather than base our opinions on the out-of-context cherrypickings you idiots favor.

    I’ve tried to google Sotomayor’s record on gun ownership and the second amendment, and all I can find are snippets from a thesis she wrote at Princeton and a 2004 decision she was part of — both of which appear to be highly twisted and taken out of context. And every source is a super rightwing site — quoting the same text over and over.

    I would think that if Sotomayor truly advocated making all private gun ownership illegal, wouldn’t the MSM have picked up on this?

Anybody that Obama’s appoints that doesn’t fit exactly the description of the Party of No, Boss Limbaugh, and others or if Obama and his nominee sneeze the wrong way, the GOP party will denounce and oppose.

    The problem is that I’m at work, and often the need to do real work intrudes on my posting — usually in the middle of my composing. So by the time I hit “submit”, a gazillion people may have already said the same thing.

  152. wolfsinger says:

    While it is true that the Christian Values GOP is (hopefully) shrinking in numbers at their moderate fringes, that which remains is extremely well funded and reeking of fear and rage, armed to the teeth as “warriors for Jesus.” This gives them the means and rational (if I may use that word here) for committing violence of hideous proportion…again.

    Through these images of hate, they “educate” their followers and through their pulpits and gathering places speak the codes words they understand as marching orders.

    These facts are indisputable. What I fail to understand is why we on the left are always left scratching our heads in aghast amazement in response to their un-American acts? Despite all they have shown us over the decades, the violence, the rage,..why are we STILL so amazed that they do this? I confess to being guilty of this disbelief myself.
    Me thinks its time, just like during the civil rights movement, when we need to stand together arm in arm in peace, united against the hate. We need to call it out publicly. I realize this is the age of email and electronic voting but seriously. We need to show courage and stop hiding being our tv’s, computer monitors and blackberry’s.

    Perhaps its time go a little “old school” in the campaign for peace and civility after these terrible culture wars. Maybe what’s old is new again. Particularly since now, we have brave folks like KO, Rachel, Shuster, Ed, Turley, Gene Robinson, The Nation, TP, Kos and so many others who will actually cover such an event? Or events?

    I’m just saying. Obviously, I’m old to be making this suggestion. (Tye Dye anyone?) A relic. But this relic is old enough to know what happens if we don’t speak out. And what happens well when we do.

    The idea that we should be “above responding to such attacks” died last November. The fact that this blog and many other prominent ones are repeatedly highlighting and responding to the outrageous slurs perpetrated by the wingnuts demonstrates that.

They’ve made the mistake of lining up on the morally or factually wrong side of every possible issue. Now they’ve lost all cohesion and discipline, so they can’t even be effective bigots anymore.

    Agreed. You make the point well. Underestimating their rage, their hate their and their guns is a mistake. That said, I remember a time when as a teenager, a dear friend of mine told me about bunch of infamous jack-booted Aryan thugs who came to recruit and march near his house. The Nationalist Socialist White Peoples Workers Party they called themselves back then. Covering all the bases I guess. Anyway, the story goes that people from all walks were ready and joined together and counter protested. They were just kids on bicycles mostly. But, there were a lot of kids or at least enough. They peacefully gathered opposite the loudest thug and began singing and shouting and making a suitable ruckus. It must have intimidated the lead thug, this band of teen-age bicyclists because I heard from a number of people there that he bolted and they ended up chasing his crew-cutted, white shirted skinny self under an old jacked up station wagon several yards away which by the way, true to the day, leaked oil.

    Well, by know you can tell I am really old because I am telling stories but my point is – these jack-booted types are authority driven. Like bullies in the playground who fear they might just get a thick lip and black eye when you stand up for yourself. They respect power. Even non-violent power. It has to do with their habit of “projection” I think is the psychological term. If they do it, they think you might do it too and they are really cowards at heart. That’s why they have to carry such big weapons. Over compensating for what their “creator” failed to give them, if you get my drift.

    Lastly, I would like to see us publicly stand together BEFORE anymore tragedy strikes, instead of as an outpouring of sympathy afterwords.

    Peace and Vigilance.

    No one is afraid of Rush we just like to make fun of anyone stupid enough to take him seriously. Liberals dont NEED anyone to think for them so we dont listen to the radio to find out what we think unlike conservatives

    If I knew nothing else about this situation and only saw the picture, I would think the CCC was very fond of her and was trying to woo her to join. Kind of a “See, don’t you look good in one of our uniforms” kinda thing.

    So, yeah, about that supposedly inaccurate Right-wing extremsim DHS report.

    That quote about Clarence Thomas wasn’t made by Sotomayor; it was made by Joe Biden.

    Hey Kevin. I just saw the YouTube video about web 3.0 and I have had this idea about our future economy.
    It’s a bit in tune with the Zeitgeist film. See, if all of our knowledge was shared, we couldn’t make money of it. Siki?

    I’m a musician and I kinda have the feeling that in the future people will pay for live performances, because we have computer software that is very close to sounding like a musical instrument, with a modelled human touch. So, if a person that has never played the guitar, can click a button and sound like Jimi Hendrix, than what is the coolness about all this digital music really? Infact, I think that the more advanced this gets, the less interesting it becomes. We are still in awe over a youngster that can make the violin cry and we will definately be in even more awe when a person can actually do with their fingers that what we can do in an iPhone application.
