We have all read and heard the repetitive discussion of the "wise Latina" quote. But what many have not paid attention to is the unfair name-calling, and cultural and racial attacks that Judge Sotomayor's candidacy.

The Women's Media Center (WMC) of New York City has compiled a compelling video that shows some of the TV talkers distasteful, mocking, caricatures of Judge Sotomayor. Take a look at this video.

The WMC has an online petition campaign to express your reaction to what you see in the video.

I encourage you to follow the link and participate in the campaign, if you are offended about what TV talkers have been saying leading up to the confirmation hearings.

Watch the hearings, on Monday, July 13th. Form your own opinion, don't let TV Talkers mislead you.
