Obama Insults Clarence Thomas

Once again, Democrats feel free to insult prominent black thinkers, as long as they are conservative. When asked which of the Supreme Court justices the candidates would not have approved, Obama mentioned Thomas due to his "inexperience" (no irony there). From the WSJ:

Pastor Rick Warren asked each Presidential candidate which Justices he would not have nominated. Mr. McCain said, "with all due respect" the four most liberal sitting Justices because of his different judicial philosophy.

Mr. Obama took a lower road, replying first that "that's a good one," and then adding that "I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don't think that he, I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation. Setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretation of a lot of the Constitution." The Democrat added that he also wouldn't have appointed Antonin Scalia, and perhaps not John Roberts, though he assured the audience that at least they were smart enough for the job.

Perhaps this is why Obama absolutely hates these unscripted townhall meetings: he shows his true colors and that's a problem. I'm not sure which bothers me more - Obama's Marxist views or his continaul condescending remarks that he finds cute.
