It Is Hard to a Illiterate Conservative

Gosh. It seems we are rebutted. "Spic" is not, you see, an ethnic slur, as we alleged, and we are poopyheads. Why?

It is Hard to a Liberal (very sic)

It is hard to be liberal.   This blogger recently got noticed by the blog Whiskey Fire....

Sadly, I must decline the honor.  My quoted article, was not in in response, to Sotomayor’s nomination of yesterday, 26 May this.   Rather, it was posted on 5 May

....

Say what you will, Stotomayor is no Scalia.    With such neo-conservative stalwarts as Jeffrey Rosen and Stuart Taylor, Jr.  how can I go wrong.    David Souter wasn’t much of a justice, but Sotomayor appears offer even less than Souter.    Doesn’t say much for the one’s vaunted judgment, does it?

But wait! None of that actually has anything to do with the fact that "spic" is an obvious slur. The only objection raised is that he was tossing around the slur weeks ago as opposed to days ago. Which is a fascinating argument that would be clever were it not completely inane. Here, for the record, is the original quote:

Not surprisingly, Obama appears to be focusing demographics  and not judicial factors.    Obama isn’t looking for a liberal Scalia.   He looking for a spic chic.   Enter Sonia Sotomayor....

But let's be charitable. It's entirely possible that the BitsBloggers are too dumb to know what a "slur" is in the first place; heck, there's even a sporting chance they think "spic" is pronounced "speek." Which would, if nothing else, explain the apparent failed attempt at rhyme.

Even  by wingnut standards these fellows are, well, let 's say, "especially challenged." I wouldn't bother with them, except they're too stupid to understand the code -- which is helpful for understanding the code. They're the response part of the GOP/Limbaugh call and response in regards to the attacks on Sotomayor. They hear the call, and they respond: "spic." That's how it works.
