POPSRachel Maddow Takes Down MSNBC's Resident Racist, Pat Buchanan
Needless to say, conservatives were far more concerned with rolling back the rights of women and minorities than offering policy solutions that truly helped low-income white men. In the past few months, conservative griping about the oppression of white men has come back with a vengeance. Lacking any real material with which to attack judicial nominee Sonia Sotomayor, Republican lawmakers and media conservatives have mightily struggled to paint Sotomayor as an unqualified affirmative-action candidate -- one committed to using the law to erode the rights of while males. Sotomayor was absurdly attacked as a "reverse racist"; she was accused of gaming the system to get ahead; her temperament, educational achievements and judicial history were slimely undermined despite ample evidence that she is more than qualified to serve on the Court. Some of the most vicious attacks have come from Pat Buchanan, a conservative extremist who for mysterious reasons still enjoys a spot on MSNBC

POPSAmerica's Whole Racist Enchilada Grande
One of the things I love about my country is it's humor. (Note: the "whole enchilada," is a common, Hispanic-flavored term meaning: the whole ball of wax (!?)...the whole messy, crazy situation.) On this clip page is a John Steward comedy video insulting a U.S. Senator (who is insulting the Hispanic woman nominated for our Supreme Court....big job). Building up his insults (like the Senator was doing to the Hispanic woman nominee), Stewart ends by calling the Senator an old lesbian." Another Senator on this approval committee strikes me as an "effeminate counterfeit Confederate." The candidate made the mistake of saying a "wise Latina," might make a better judicial judgement than while male. Negroes (according to Richard Nixon) make terrible spies while Jews are born spies. (this came up). So we have blatantly waded in to every racist attitude imaginable. White people appear Very Touchy about being treated inferior. A court case of such "reverse discrimination," ha

POPSSupreme court decision sways Dem.s to address law limitations "With women earning only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, the nation needs strong laws against pay discrimination. This is not what Congress intended when we passed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1991, and we need to restore full protection against wage discrimination."

POPSMichigan Proposal 2 (Reverse Discrimination) I'm not sure what to think about the proposal in Michigan. Ideally, I would agree that no one should be helped or hurt in admissions based on the color of their skin. In practice, though, it's not as if the negative affects of discrimination have been eradicated from society. Don't we still have an obligation to help those who have been hurt in the past or does this kind of help actually do more harm than good?
