Chickens are People Too

Drudge has the details on one of the most embarrassing political stunts I have witnessed in some time. Maybe ever.

But others are reporting that Stephen Dujack has withdrawn his name from the witness list.

Dujack was going to testify that Alito is a racist and a sexist, based on a loose college affiliation. Mind you, none of the testimony was going to concern Alito himself, it appears to have been strictly a guilt by association slime. Still, at least one gleeful Democrat assassin was overjoyed.

“Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.”

Or, maybe not.

Powerline gives a peek at Dujack, his associations, and his writings, which include this gem:

To those who defend the modern-day holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: If the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder? Did the fact that lampshades, soaps and other "useful" products were made from their bodies excuse the Holocaust? No. Pain is pain.

Hinderaker responds: Dujack will be part of the Democrats' effort to paint Alito as a dangerous extremist.

Alas, it is too bad his testimony won't be heard, as sleazy and as morally bankrupt as the tactic is. But whether he appears or not, one has to wonder if the Democratic Party could possibly sink any lower.

Is this rock bottom? Or do they have farther to fall?
