Finally! we can talk about race in America (Katrina? No - Pres. Obama? No- Sotomayor? YES!)

Beck on Sotomayor nomination: "Hey, Hispanic chick lady! You're empathetic ... you're in!"

Hannity claims Obama "turns his back on Mainstream America" by nominating "the most divisive nominee possible," a "radical"

Krauthammer declares Sotomayor "a believer in the racial spoils system," takes her "Latina woman" comment out of context

Buchanan declares Sotomayor an "affirmative action pick"

Limbaugh calls Sotomayor "a reverse racist," appointed by "the greatest living example of a reverse racist"

Mike Huckabee was ahead of the pack today in releasing a statement criticizing President Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. There was only one problem: he got his target's name wrong.

As Ben Smith points out, Huckabee's original statement identified the nominee as Maria Sotomayor:

The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama's campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric.

7. She looks white to me.

Freepers can't wrap their tiny little brains around the concept of a white "Hispanic".
