Flailing In Desperation
Mark Coffey at Decision '08 reports that the liberal attack on Samuel Alito's Supreme Court nomination--already leaking oil in the worst way--has just taken another blow:
Among the talking points Democrats intend to smear Samuel Alito with is the allegation that he is sexist and racist because he belonged to a student organization at Princeton that opposed affirmative action. [...]
[T]he Democrats intended to call Stephen R. Dujack, the editor of The Environmental Forum magazine to testify about the Princton group.
But it seems that Mr. Dujack is "not quite the thing" after all:
Dujack confirmed to FOXNews.com late Friday that he was no longer testifying, but said he could not elaborate.
Earlier on Friday, [Texas senator John] Cornyn's office circulated a 2003 Los Angeles Times editorial in which Dujack compared animals killed for food to victims of the Holocaust. Whether the editorial factored into the decision to drop Dujack from the witness list was not clear.
"Was not clear"? (snort) Perhaps FoxNews wouldn't write what they couldn't be sure of, but here's an excerpt of Dujack's Los Angeles Times piece from April 16, 2003 (thanks to Powerline):
Like the victims of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to the kill floor and slaughtered. Comparisons to the Holocaust are not only appropriate but inescapable because, whether we wish to admit it or not, cows, chickens, pigs and turkeys are as capable of feeling loneliness, fear, pain, joy and affection as we are. To those who defend the modern-day holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: If the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder? Did the fact that lampshades, soaps and other "useful" products were made from their bodies excuse the Holocaust? No. Pain is pain.
So, this is the caliber of person the liberal Left feels is qualified to speak against the nominee?
Welcome to the Supreme Court, Justice Alito.
