Rush Limbaugh is taking a strong stance against the Sotomayor nomination, declaring that Republicans should “go to the wall” to oppose her:

“I doubt that Sotomayor can be stopped,” said Limbaugh. “She should be — she is a horrible pick. She is the antithesis of a judge.”

He also said that Sotomayor is a racist — or in a more softened term, a “reverse-racist” — who was in turn appointed by another “reverse-racist”:

“And the libs of course say, the minorities cannot be racists, because they don’t have the power to implement their racism,” Limbaugh expounded. “Well, those days are gone, because reverse-racists certainly do have the power to implement their power. Obama is the greatest living example of a reverse-racist, and now he’s appointed one — you gettin’ this, AP? — Sonia Sotomayor, to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
