To be clear, I didn’t think it was necessarily incorrect, just that he probably had some reason to avoid including a link, such as not wanting to mention that the quote dates to 2008.
More power to the poster in question if he feels he’s got some material to prop up the thread. Let’s do it properly, is all I’m sayin’.
Schumer opposed Trump judicial nominee Marvin Quattlebaum because of the color of his skin. The Dem’s leader in the Senate is apparently is a throwback to the Democrats of the segregation era.
CNN’s take is that Schumer is pissed that his two previous non-white nominees got blocked, so he voted against Quattlebaum, who passed by 41 votes anyway. Another political pissing contest.
Not surprisingly, you are attributing words from Shumer not Graham
“I judge nominees on the content of their character, not the color of their skin,” Graham said Thursday. “Chuck Schumer should do the same.”
And Schumer said: “It was saying that I thought this nominee was not very a good nominee to begin with.” So you believe the Republican who claims the decision was made for race reasons, even though the person who made the decision explicitly says it wasn’t. OK, I guess.
Appropriately, since your original post was about Schumer’s character and reasons. Why would you take someone else’s word for it and not listen to his own? Is it simply a lie if you didn’t hear it from Hannity?
Did that apply during the last administration, for the nominees put forward for this position? Obviously not - that’s the problem Schumer was pointing out.
When you get fooled by one of your Fake News sources, it’s usually best to acknowledge it and learn for the future, not try to bluster your way out of it. You have much to learn.
Wacko Liberal Idea
I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don’t want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required. – Sheryl Crow at the Huffington Post
ETA: Also - the SRIOTD thread is cranking out multiple spectacular examples by elected officials and national media personalities every week. And you’re posting about something Sheryl Crow said over ten years ago. I think that says all you need to know about how much “both sides do it”.
Glancing back through his curiously sporadic posting history, I suspect that the blame for this lies mainly on the limitations of our nascent language translation algorithms.
