I'd like to present a quote from Newt Gingrich. Just in case we need a reminder who is racist (hint: it's not the Supreme Court Nominee)

If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for 30 days because they get infections.... Males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.
So you want a reminder who the racist is it's as usual the Republicans. The party of middle aged white males.

Obviously, you are going to believe what you want but I have one comment about this.
Aren't you accusing Gingrich of male chauvinism? Where's the racism in this remark?
Sexism and racism are fruit of the same poisonous tree, although they indeed are different fruit. As for Gingrich's attitude towards women, how he has treated them in his personal life says a great deal about his true feeling on the matter, and it's rather sordid.
For racism, though, one has to look no further than the ranking Republican member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Alabama's Jeff Sessions. As a U.S. attorney, he could only be bothered to investigate voter fraud cases in precincts where African Americans were in the majority (and he lost the cases). He called another white prosecutor who fought for the rights of minority voters a "disgrace to his race." He called an African American legislator, the late Thomas Figures, "boy" to his face and warned him to "be careful of what you say to white folks." He also praised the Ku Klux Klan to his colleagues, until, in his words, "I heard some of them were pot smokers."
He's just the perfect guy to head up the minority party's efforts to evaluate Judge Sotomayor's impartiality and judicial philosophy, isn't he?
I have no argument whatsoever with you Tom. I was just getting into semantics with Erik.
