"over more qualified candidates with liberal-sounding résumés"

What the heck is a liberal sounding resume? When it gets handed to the interviewee does it scream out "no blood for oil"?

Anything the Justice department does is against liberals. Like when Gonzales fired 9 Attorneys it was because of republicans are evil. But when Janet Reno fired 93 attorneys, No one in the MSM even batted an eye because incompetent liberal attorney that look like Velma from Scooby Doo, are only acting in the country’s best interest.

Attorneys and everyone else at the Justice Department work for the attorney General, and serve at his pleasure. If he wants’ to fire them, it's his choice. GET OVER IT!

You can refuse to hire people who are thieves, pedophiles, or dullards

This would sure be news to all of my former employers, particularly the dullards part. And I'm pretty sure that law firms are actually required to hire thieves.

I was in charge of a search committee at our public university, and had to meet with our affirmitive action officer to get the search started. She wore a peace sign button on her jacket (left the Mercedes sign in the parking lot I guess) and proceeded to tell me how she use to work for the DOJ. She then proceeded to compare various people in the office to Nazi's, and commented about how one member of the Bush Admin. looked like an SS skull.

5 minutes later she told me the I couldn't judge people by their looks. It was all I could do to keep from rolling on the floor laughing at her. Double standard, thy name is liberal.

I guess in an interrogation whether or not a suspect or witness 'wants fries with that' just doesn't come up.

Can anyone say Affirmative Action? Will they push it to political leanings now? Isn't that what the Fairness Doctrine is?

Just Asking.

They don't dare push affirmative action to political leanings. Where would they ever find a conservative professor of human relations or women's studies?

You can refuse to hire people who are thieves, pedophiles, or dullards....

No wonder liberals don't have jobs!

You can refuse to hire people who are thieves, pedophiles, or dullards....

That's not what the affirmative action officer at our state university said. Maybe that's our problem.

Extending affirmative action for political beliefs...

to the New York Times...
CBS...
Every college campus...
Every state and federal Bureaucracy...
NEA....
Elementary school faculty.....

Bring it on lefties.

"was relegated to the “questionable” pile because he was a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations"

... So, I'm thinking stuff like this shows the truth of the matter.. I think its pretty clear that CAIR supports terrorist organizations. How much do you want to bet all the supposed unjust rejections were along these lines?

"You can refuse to hire people who are thieves, pedophiles, or dullards...."

SO WHY DON'T THEY???

At MY major midwest state university, the 6,000 faculty and staff are comprised of nearly 100 percent dullards - typical Obama-muffins. 50 percent of those are thieves - particularly of impressionable young minds. And 25 percent of those are sickos - perverted, socialist libtards with no respect for another view.

And then there was one...

"At MY major midwest state university..."

You actually claim your institution as your own? I sometimes have qualms about wearing my universities sweat shirt. When I'm in a particularly neocon mood, I pretend that I work in industry.

If all you have are Obama-muffins, you are lucky. We have faculty that read "Communist World Workers" newspapers openly, and mourn the loss of the soviet system (which obviously worked so well for the Russians).

I started to read the article - I stopped at the Council on American Islamic Relations, which supports civil liberties

last I checked they supported sharia law which is pretty short on civil liberties

bullshit

we already seem to have government "of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers"; is it too much to ask that they not all be liberal lawyers as well?

Check this out. From the NYT article:

"Another applicant, a student at the top of his class at Harvard who was fluent in Arabic, was relegated to the “questionable” pile because he was a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group that advocates civil liberties."

CAIR is a"civil liberties" group.

Not a "terrorist supprting" group.

The NY TIMES, so transparent it's not read.

Or...

The NY Times, so transparent it's unreadable.

Okay can anyone find a libral lawyer that is more qualified then a member of the Federalist Society?

I mean right off the bat the conservative has already recognized we are a nation of laws enshired in a document called the consitution.

The liberal, well he/she/it may once have heard about this document but as it was written by dead white guys it wasn't on the approved reading list. they might one day red as it is on the Ninth Circuit court's list of favorite fiction.

In the end a moose is more qualifed to work in the DoJ than a liberal lawyer. (this also explains Vermont)

You guys are all talking like liberals actually work for a living, when we all know that they live in their parents' basements and apply for government grants to study the lint on the sofa they stapled their asses to.
