.CNN's John Harwood is a propagandist attempting to racialize a political disagreement, writes cwtremo. 'Some people just can't tolerate the idea that other people have different opinions.'
As he often does, Harwood misled his audience on basic facts, implying that those who voted against Jackson's confirmation did so because of racism instead of any of the many valid reasons why someone might oppose a Supreme Court nominee.
Jackson is only the third black Supreme Court justice. Harwood deliberately leaves out the confirmation vote of Justice Clarence Thomas. Forty-eight senators, including eight out of the 15 Democratic senators “from a state of the old Confederacy," voted against Thomas, and that was not in the 1960s but in 1991. Harwood also conveniently left out that all seven of the Republican senators “from a state of the old Confederacy” voted in favor of Thomas.
