"Do you believe that Sotomayor's statement that a Latina woman would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male is fairly interpreted as sexist and racist?" :eyes:

I loathe Dobbs.

7. I didn't vote
I don't know the full context of her statement? If it was just a general statement I would say it would be sexist or racist. If she meant a Latina woman would more often than not reach a better conclusion on a case involving race or sexual discrimination I would agree with her.

2. I believe Lou Dobbs
has a serious bowel obstruction. He seems perpetually miserable and his face turns bright red at the drop of a pin.

3. "Do you believe that a cherry picked statement taken completely out of context
and made to sound sexist and racist, is in fact sexist and racist?"

Jeezus the shit that passes for journalism today!

6. That poll is beyond our help......
which is to be expected being that Lou's audience is mostly right wing nut jobs.
