Sen. Leahy exposed Sen. Sessions attempt, on a national Sunday news opinion show, at race-baiting Judge Sotomayor by scapegoating La Raza.

GOP coward that he is, Sen. Sessions backed away from his own rhetoric and tried to claim Sen. Leahy was "overstating" his argument.

BULLSHIT!

The GOP is the bastion of White Supremacist politics in America. Dispute that at your own peril.

A very BAD case of the SHITS is SMARTER than Senator Sessions & his following. It's NO secret as to why the GOP LOST 57 Senate & House Seats in a 2 year period.....TOTAL dumb-shits!

This is from Sen. Session, which in my opinion, is one of the big bigots in the Senate floor (although it is difficult to know who's the biggest bigot of all in the Republican Party), this is so hypocrite! And believe me, I am also aware of many Democrats, but Republicans have drop the ball in the department of racism. It's disgusting and speaks volumes about our country; after all, people voted to put this bigots on the U.S. Senate, and that's a shame!
