Your new GOP
Use every opportunity to reinforce your racist cred with the base.
Haw! this one will piss off the LIBRULS
They do everything these days for that sole purpose , to the detriment of the country
Farr, out!
âFarr also served as a lawyer for the re-election campaign of Republican Sen. Jesse HelmsâŚâ
Sorry, but anyone who forfeited their humanity for that piece of racist filth is prima facie disqualified.
The rapid evolution of a GOP meme.
President Donald Trump accused Democrats of being in a âblind rageâ to torch the reputation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
âI think absolutely destroying a good manâs reputation is inappropriate,â Tillis said.
If nothing else you have to admire the efficiency of the GOP talking point mill.
You mean like Joe Biden?
"When I walked into Mansfieldâs office, I must have looked as angry as I was. He was in his late â70s, lived to be 100. And he looked at me, he said, whatâs bothering you, Joe?
I said, that guy, Helms, he has no social redeeming value. He doesnât care â I really mean it â I was angry. He doesnât care about people in need. He has a disregard for the disabled.
Majority Leader Mansfield then proceeded to tell me that three years earlier, Jesse and Dot Helms, sitting in their living room in early December before Christmas, reading an ad in the Raleigh Observer, the picture of a young man, 14-years-old with braces on his legs up to both hips, saying, all I want is someone to love me and adopt me. He looked at me and he said, and they adopted him, Joe.
I felt like a fool. He then went on to say, Joe, itâs always appropriate to question another manâs judgment, but never appropriate to question his motives because you simply donât know his motives."
Personally, I think Bidenâs philosophy of never questioning a personâs motives is ridiculous.
They are pushing to confirm someone âwith racial discrimination concerns.â Why is that a problem? Martin Luther King also had racial discrimination concerns.
Oh you mean there are racial concerns about him? You see, in English the preposition âwithâ actually conveys the opposite meaning in this context. Wouldnât it be better to avoid all the awkward languageâwhich conveys the wrong sense anywayâ and simply describe him as a âracist lawyerâ? That is the issue here, after all.
Do the headlines from AP stories come from TPM or the AP? Iâm hoping itâs the latter.
Well , ALL Repubs are scammers .
*They have noted that Farr was also nominated to the same position by former President George W. Bush and has a âwell qualifiedâ rating from the American Bar Association.*
Maybe so, but for whatever reason, he apparently wasnât confirmed. I see this as another effect of Trumpâs overt racism -that this guy has been normalized to the point heâs being called a âgood guyâ unironically.
The headline of this story is clunky and could have been shortened to this and itâd still be clear: Senate GOP Pushes To Confirm Racist Lawyer.
Farr also served as a lawyer for the re-election campaign of Republican Sen. Jesse Helms in 1990. The Justice Department alleged that about 120,000 postcards sent overwhelmingly to black voters before that election was intended to intimidate them from voting.
Farr said he was not consulted about the postcards and did not have any role in drafting or sending them. He said that after he had been asked to review the card, âI was appalled to read the incorrect language printed on the card and to then discover it had been sent to African Americans.â
Farr: " I donât know why I;m the guy they hire to do racist things. Why does this keep happening to me?"
Which is worse a racist lawyer or a lawyer who defends racist laws for the money?
Farr told lawmakers that, as an advocate, he vehemently disagreed with the argument that the North Carolina Legislature sought to curtail the voting rights of people of color or any other voter. But, said, âI am obligated to follow the decision by the 4th Circuit and pledge that I will do so.â
So confirm me, and until my rulings are overturned then Iâll continue to deal with âthose peopleâ as I always have done.
OK, Sen. Flake, I know you already voted this guy out of committee, but itâs time to step up on your âprotect Mueller or elseâ threat.
Strange that you focus on Bidenâs remarks and admiration for Helms expressed early in Bidenâs career, not sure when these remarks were made, while overlooking his far more egregious treatment of Anita Hill during the Thomas hearings which happened more recently than the Helms tongue bath.
Biden has said he owes her an apology but he has never given her one. But yeah, letâs focus on an old white racist and ignore the black academic he treated with so much indifference so he could give long winded speeches telling us how much he cared about the proceedings.
When do you take off after Senators Burr and Tillis who seem to be enchanted with Farr?
Itâs like Fat Clemenza said in a different context, âOh Jeffie, we wonât see him no more.â
He still tells that story repeatedly. I am not a Biden fan.
Helms was motivated by racism, and it was absurd for Biden not to question this.
I donât like Biden at all. For all the talk of young blood and a new face for 2020 you have to wonder how is it possible that he continues to promote himself and apparently has some who believe he could pull off a nomination.
When Trumpâs presidency is proved to be illegitimate and the result of crimes he and his advisors and probably many other Republicans engaged in, I only wish there was a process by which the damage could quickly be undone. And the judiciary is the area where the damage will have the most lasting effects.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate these fuckers?
At least heâs 64 years old.
The Republican-Dixiecrat Senate Majority, lead by Dixiecrat Mitch McConnell of Mississippi, had to wait until after the Mid Terms to advance the confirmation of this Racist Piece of Shit, because they were afraid it would have cost them even more House Seats and perhaps even a Senate seat or two. Let no one forget this. And let the Democrats campaign on this man and on Brett Kavanaugh.
The views expressed curing litigation on behalf of a particular client are not always the views of the attorney him/herself.
For those with short memories, Vaughn Walkerâs nomination by Ronald Reagan to the district court in San Francisco was stymied because of his representation of the US Olympic Committee in its successful litigation to prevent the use of the word âOlympicsâ by the Gay Olympics. Walker went onto the bench after being renominated by GW Bush. Later, he issued a decision holding that Californiaâs Proposition 8 (banning gay marriage) violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
