Fox uses Clarence Thomas to promote its tea party event

Great. Now Fox is trying to drag the Supreme Court into their tea party nonsense, using an image of Clarence Thomas to promote their Atlanta Tea Party event:

Obviously, Fox will say they were just trying to use Virginia Thomas (Clarence's wife and a tea party activist) to promote their event. But will anybody really believe them?

More importantly, will Justice Thomas demand Fox remove him from the promotional campaign for their tea party event?

2. an invitation earned

Well, Thomas helped set the plates for the party, by voting Bush into power, so no reason why they shouldn't invite him now.

4. Activist Supreme Court justice #1!

The guy doesn't even pretend to care about the Constitution or laws. He just votes with the Republican Party and Corporations every time.

6. If voting with Scalia all the time is activist, Thomas is remarkably activist.

7. I have always thought he was the most anti-black justice on the Supreme Court ever!

The republicans are really good at finding those few defectors that hate their own race or sex. I don't think they could have proven their thinly veiled racism better.

10. I wish we didn't have to claim him as one of us

But, he was born African American.

He might still be in denial but ~ :shrug:

Can we just put him out of our race?

We will gladly give him to any other group but no one will want him .

Maybe his wife can convince her Teabags to take him --- NOT!
