A Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota criticized Tuesday’s Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act by calling Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Thomas,” then saying he didn’t know “Uncle Tom” was a racist epithet.
On his Twitter account Tuesday, state Rep. Ryan Winkler called the justices’ 5-4 ruling striking down a part of the law racist, and the work of “four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomas.” Justice Thomas, who is black, was one of the five justices in the majority.

Where's the outrage? The call for his resignation? The media coverage?
Paula Deen gets canned for saying something viewed as racist, in private years ago, but this guy gets to call a sitting SCOTUS Justice a racial epithet because he doesn't like a decision and he still gets to live off the taxpayer dime?
Does Liberal hypocrisy know no bounds?

He didn't know that was a racist epithet? I thought liberals were the most culturally sensitive people out there?
Yeah, this Harvard educated History major "didn't know"....:thumbs:
Why would anyone ask him to resign over a stupid tweet? I know I would do it even if it was a conservative that did it. BTW, Paula Deen worked for The Food Network , a private concern.Democratic lawmaker hits justice as 'Uncle Thomas' - Washington Times

Point blank, if a Republican said this about a black liberal, he would've been buried alive. Its a double standard, through and through.
RepubLies do it every day and get away with it. Both sides are selective in their outrage. The first amendment only works the way you want it to, just like the 2nd and the civil war 10th.
There is no double standard,its up at Drudge now, and soon the Republican echo chamber will run him through the mill.:roll:Point blank, if a Republican said this about a black liberal, he would've been buried alive. Its a double standard, through and through.
Oh really? Why don't you give me examples. Please show me the last time a white Republican called a highly respected member of the government an "uncle Tom."
Thomas may be the least respected appointed member of government, one of the GOP's grandest and greatest mistakes. He's always fought against all of the advantages he used to be what he is. Before they were white RepubLies, what were they?

As they should. It is as classless of a comment as I have heard in recent memory.
Uncle Tom is a criticism of the behavior or views of certain black people, basically calling them out for betraying their race. Nigger is an insult suggesting that all blacks are inferior. They are not the same.

That doesn't make it any less racist. Expecting blacks to "fall in line" is still extremely discriminatory and bigoted.

Not if a black person says it, then its just a political insult.
