Scott Braddock at KRLD talked about it and shared his thoughts.

I tried to put the aggravation into words last night but I admit that maybe I fell short in explaining myself.  The caller you'll hear in this clip, David in Dallas, sent my blood pressure through the roof simply because he wouldn't answer this straightforward question:

"If the mosque that already exists four blocks from Ground Zero is ok, then what's wrong with the one planned for two blocks away?"

Here's the audio clip:

You can also listen to the whole clip here, and we would like to hear your thoughts, too.

Update: Here is some video from Keith Olbermann's countdown. Not going to lie, I am not a huge fan of Olbermann. He is talented and entertaining, but just like I have a hard time listening to and watching right wing media, I have a hard time watching and listening to the left's talking heads. However, it is hard not to be impressed by this 12 minute segment from Olbermann. Take a look.

But, Cornyn said after re-stating what he claimed was inappropriate about Sotomayor's statement, he didn't think anyone should call names while pointing out what's inappropriate about Sotomayor's statement.

You can listen to the Cornyn interview with Braddock here.

Hey, I know, it's tough at the top, John, what with the challenge of avoiding GOP lynch parties yourself while calling them out for being lynch parties, but suggesting that, in the end, the reason for this particular lynch party is a good one, it's just that they ought to use a different kind of rope.

I don't agree with Judge Sotomayor's comments at all, to the contrary, that's one of the things that our legal tradition has recognized that justice is blind...I'm very troubled by her comment. Where I disagreed with Rush and Newt is I think it's just not very helpful to start name-calling right out of the chute...

Save the name-calling for the right time, right John?

Limbaugh, Gingrich and other extremists have blasted Sotomayor as a "racist" because she spoke of the importance of her unique humanity and perspective -- almost exactly the same way Samuel Alito and Sandra Day O'Connor spoke about their own heritage and perspective some time ago.
