Bush 41: Clarence Thomas Has "Great Empathy"
"I have followed this man's career for some time," said President George H.W. Bush of future Justice Clarence Thomas while introducing him "He is a delightful and warm, intelligent person who has great empathy and a wonderful sense of humor."

RWers are afraid Sonia Sotomayor having empathy because they think she'll rule in favor of those "like her." Yeah, Clarence Thomas' "empathy" sure made HIM someone who ruled in favor of those "like him." On second thought, people like him are RW crazy people."

3. You mean the Glenn Beck that claimed that Thomas Paine

Would be a right wing propagandist today? The very same Thomas Paine who spoke like Marx, before Marx's parents were even born?

4. This is IT!!!!

The difference between Republicans and Democrats.

We have empathy, just like Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Jesus Christ.

They don't, like Ayn Rand, Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin (take a look into his policies if you don't think he's a Conservative.)

5. I loved his first album

just trying to insert levity into a crappy reality

6. My Friend Played Guitar And Believed Jeff Beck Was Better Than Hendrix And Clapton

But you're thinking of the other Beck...

12. hendrix -no and clapton -maybe

clapton became a lazy ass, unless he`s pushed by another great guitar player. beck is in a class of his own.

8. The concept of empathy is quite obviously beyond this moron

as it was Hitler.

10. Really dumb people shouldn't try to do analogies......

:dunce:

11. Glen Beck has the same logic skills my nine-year-old nephew does when he's arguing

why he should be allowed to stay up later than his bedtime.

18. Conservatives in general use the same argument tactics my cousin's little daughter does.

She screams really loud, and if she gets really agitated she craps her pants.

Not unlike many contemporary GOP leaders.

[KittyWampus]

13. So Beck just Godwined HIMSELF? That's a first.

[Marr]

14. Quite a rhetorical pretzel he's made there.

But then, that's what these guys get paid for. Since the 80's, big money interests have been paying little twits like Beck to convince idiots that black is white.

15. Beck is right, Hitler was famous for his empathy.

He even built special housing projects for those who had been deemed "undesirables" by society (jews, gays, gypsies, etc.)

[Arkana]

17. Hitler had great empathy for the common man...

...the tall, blond, blue-eyed Aryan common man, that is.

[Arkana]

16. Well, Beck just lost the argument--Godwin's Law says so.
