Glenn Beck's suggestion to Obama for SCOTUS: "gay handicapped black woman who's a radical immigrant"

Glenn Beck says Obama might find a 'gay handicapped black woman who's an immigrant' as well as a 'radical' for the Supreme Court

Glenn Beck starts the smearathon of President's possible Supreme Court nominees with his usual racist-homophobic-Bircher philosophy. Righties try to preempt their smears by saying that if they comment on race, gender or the ethnicity of a candidate---they will be the ones who are smeared.

Riiiight.

Replacing a liberal judge with a liberal judge is too much for right-wing ideologues, who constantly bitch and complain about "activist" judges and insist that Obama must pick a centrist (whatever a centrist is) or he hates America.

Beck really should be outraged at the Citizens United activist ruling by the Roberts court, if he was being honest about the "activist judges" thing, because that overturned decades of settled law on how big business was regulated in what they can spend in politics, or so I've been told. Though the California Chamber of Commerce pulled their smear attack ad of Jerry Brown because some of their members objected to it (and didn't even know they had made it), nonetheless, this ad is one of the previews of what will happen as we move forward with elections because of that ruling.

Not good.

1. Beck is just hoping for a blowhard, emotionally-challenged nutjob...
that way he could be considered.

5. Way to go Beck for making a fool out of yourself.
The fact is that in the history of the Supreme Court there've been two black male justices (Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas) and only two woman justices (Sonia Sotomayor whose parents were Puerto Rican immigrants, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg). And Ginsburg is getting old and has been diagnosed with cancer. John Paul Stevens is turning 90 shortly and is retiring real soon.

Also, none of Obama's current considerations fit Beck's perverted characterization.
