Drudge has it headlined:

"Exclusinve: Democrats plan to Destroy Alito"

with some substance to it in the article.

Who cares? He didn't say it. He didn't endorse it. Alito might never have known of the statement. He may have known and complained. As ususal, much ado about nothing.

Totaly off topic: Heh, Ace, thanks for the tip on 'The Great Raid.' It was very good. We usually seem to have very different taste in movies. I like nice wholesome family movies, and you like gay cowboy movies. But ya did good this time. First movie ive rented in months.

I just posted on this because it just make me so angry...once upon a time trying to destroy a man because of his past associations (for instance, if he had joined the communist party in the 1930's) was considered to be small minded excess of ideology. Now, apparently, it's a respectable thing.

So Alito testifies he never read the article and doesn't agree with the views in it... that, together with some well-timed releases of opinions that supported equal rights for women, takes the air out of the Democrats balloon...

Whew! I was scared for a second that this was gonna be another pubic hair coke can incident, and I don't know how many more of those our republic can take.

This won't amount to a cup of warm spit. The dems are in full-panic mode, but they just can't find the handle on Alito -- he's too good a judge. You're going to see a lot of venom expended in the next few days against Alito; just remember that this is a desperation play for the Democrats. They know they can't win.

I predict Alito is confirmed with at least 60 votes.

Angry? Not me. No one--not one single voter--will actually believe there's any substance to this ridiculous canard. The more the Democrats try to score points with this sort of nonsense, the more elections they lose. I say BRING IT ON!

How great would it be if Robert Byrd was on the committee when this topic came up.

"Judge Alito, can you please explain to this committee why you don't believe being a member of a racist, white supermacist organization should disqualify you from consideration from this public post where you will be asked to make decisions affecting all US citizens?"

Now that would be good theater.

1) Robert Byrd.

2) Howard Dean.

How do the Democrat's justify their membership in an organization whose leaders and/or prominent members have made outrageous statements (Dean) and/or encouraged the lynching of black people (Byrd)? Doesn't their continued affiliation with this group represent an endorsement of Byrd's KKK views and Dean's outer-space-based views?

Just sayin'

What I want to know, is can his kid dance?

The Anchoress and Bullington stole my thunder, dag nabbit. If the Dems try to "destroy" Judge Alito by harping on something some other college boy wrote 24 years ago, they will look like a satire of Joseph McCarthy. Absolutely rediculous. I'd love to see Barbara Box'o'rocks start to get all indignant about that article and Alito to smile and tell her she's mistakenly asking the wrong guy.

I swear, everything the Dems do makes them look petty and small these days. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe people will be outraged at tenous connections to things said 30 years ago and maybe they will be swayed by poisonous innuendo, guilt by association, and character assassination. And maybe all my wishes will come true and my wife will stop complaining about my cursing and Madonna will move to Mars like I so fervently hope. But I kinda doubt it.

The dim-wits are in a panic and will say and do anything. Their biggest problem is the American public who are getting wise and tired tired of the obstruction coming from the left wing (aka communist) of the democratic party. People are a lot smarter than the left wing jerks in the senate give them credit for.
The word is now spreading that the scandal in the Senate (Abramoff) is not limited to the Republicans, how can it be when 40 of the 45 dim-wits are tied to him also. That works out to 89% according to my hillbilly arth-ma-tic. I've got a list of the dim-wits and the amount of money 'Jack' gave them in bribes. Wonder when the MSM will print/broadcast the list. Damn, I must have just had a nightmare, MSM print/broadcast the truth?

Everytime the Democrats declare victory or claim to have some dirt that will absolutely destroy their enemies, I get this funny sort of ticklish sensation in my stomach.

It's certainly not fear or awe, it's sort of like watching some of the newer cartoons on Adult Swim and trying to understand that it should be funny when it is really not. Like, I want to laugh, but my brain keeps telling me "This is sad. You should feel pity."

I'm so confused.

The idea of using the writings of a fellow student to smear him is insane. That would be like painting me as a liberal just because I was a member of Amnesty International and the Animal Liberation Front while I was in college.

And I smoked some dope.

Just kidding about the ALF membership, not the AI and the dope.

This has to be the most lame brained scheme of all times. Lets see now, someone, (not Alito) wrote an article in a college paper in 1982 and the dim-wits are trying to pin the writing on Alito when they know it was someone else. But if someone he knew wrote it then he must believe the same thing, that makes sense only to a totally insane person. WOW, are they ready for the rubber room treatment. All Alito will have to do on that one it burst out laughing when they bring it up, look at the camera's and explain why he laughed to the people, don't let the so called news media twist the story, tell it himself.

That's almost as bad as the media spin on the Abramoff scandal, seems that the truth is that 40 of the 45 dim-wit senators are as guilty as anyone in their association with Abramoff. The list of names and the amount of money they took from the crook is public record, but that must be too complicated for the elite media. I have the list and the amounts myself, it is available on the net. Old Hanoi John is into him for $98,550, quite a sum to us poor folks.

Damn...that was quick. Rush quotes the guy [Dujack] on his show today, and...he's gone.

Of course the fact that Dujack is a leftist nutball helps.

Note to the donks: cast a net out for a reasoned [sane], informed [no tinfoil hats] opponent of Alito. Yes, I know I'm raising the bar to an impossible height, but do want to stop him, don't you?

Fox is reporting that Dujack has been removed from the witness list and will not testify.

Well, if Dems really want to play the guilt-by-association game, that's fine with me. I have a hard drive full of boneheaded and outright offensive comments by Democrats. And, unlike this particular instance, these all happened in the past four years or so.

Maybe we can watch Chuck Schumer question him about credit reports. Maybe Teddy Kennedy will ask him about DWI, or leaving the scene of an acccident, or negligent homicide. Maybe Joe Biden will ask about plagarism.

Maybe not. Why does anyone listen to these gasbags?
