Rush Limbaugh Being Called Out For Race-Based Attacks On Judge Sonia Sotomayor

Here is an advertisement that calls out de facto Republican leader Rush Limbaugh for his attacks on Judge Sonia Sotomayor, who is being nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Many Latinos, and people of all races, are becoming fed up with the attacks on Sotomayor, who is highly qualified for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Keep This In Mind When Conservatives Begin To Smear Sonia Sotomayor Over ‘Policy’ Comment

Media Matters for America is on the case to put into context one of the weapons conservatives will attempt to use against Sonia Sotomayor, the woman who is being nominated by President Barack Obama for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Here is a portion of the Media Matters story:

SUMMARY: Fox News host Jane Skinner asserted that Judge Sonia Sotomayor “is coming under some fire for making some comments that were recorded on tape a while back, saying that it’s her job, really, to make policy from the bench.” In fact, Sotomayor did not say “it’s her job” as a federal circuit court judge to “make policy from the bench.”

Check out the entire article to see the comments put into their full context.
