Okay, maybe one of you guys could explain this to me. I will agree with you that the above-mentioned labels are inappropriate. Fine.
But I honestly don't get how the term "Scalito" is seen as a racist or ethnic insult, if it is describing his judicial philosophy. Seeing as how Penske has referred to Mrs. Clinton as "Hitlery" I don't know how many times, I think the criticism rings pretty hollow. Besides, if you're trying to be accurate (at least in your own deluded portrayal of her), "Hitlery" doesn't really work, does it? As I recall, I don't think Hitler was much a fan of leftists, was he?
Is "Scalia-lite" any less offensive/"racist" (or inaccurate).
I guess it's okay to throw those kind of barbs/bombs when it's not your guys who are the targets.
Frankly, I could do without the name-calling from both sides.
