Here's A Scary Thought

No matter how much you blind yourself to it, its obvious that the only reason you object to Ms. Rice on the ticket is that she is Black, she's an educated woman who has risen on merit, and that just isn't acceptable to a bigoted racist like yourself.

MM, there was a thread in which McWhitey proclaimed himself to be caucasian, much to the amusement of the other participants in the thread. I then began to address him as McCaucasian, but he told me that i didn't need to be so formal, and so i began to call him McWhitey. He since has claimed to have rescinded his "permission" to call him McWhitey . . .


. . . to which i say: "Too late now, McWhitey, you're stuck with it ! ! !"

Although I have a lot of respect for Rice, I don't think that she would be the best running mate for McCain. She is too tightly connected to the Bush administration.

and their lies. How can one respect a liar? Serious lies that have led to untold suffering and death for large numbers of innocent people.

I think that in order to counter Obama's "charisma", we need a v-p who has a very engaging personality. I don't think that Condi fills the bill. I would have opted for Colin Powell, who would have been a wonderful running mate.......................ten years ago!

Low Point - Colin Powell's Credibility Curve Ball: February 5, 2003
...

As Arianna Huffington said in Salon in 2003, Powell's UN speech came just days after the Presidential "Misstatement of the Union:"

The Secretary went on at great length about the intense vetting process -- "four days and three nights" locked up with the leaders of the CIA, working "until midnight, 1 o'clock every morning," going over "every single thing we knew about all of the various issues with respect to weapons of mass destruction" -- that went into deciding what information would be used in his United Nations presentation. A presentation that ultimately did not include the Niger allegation because it was not, in Powell's words, "standing the test of time."

Hmmm, just how hard is that test? Powell's U.N. speech came a mere eight days after Bush's State of the Union -- leaving one to wonder what the expiration date is on patently phony data. About a week after a president uses it, it turns out.

Former aide: Powell WMD speech 'lowest point in my life'

Powell's speech, delivered on February 5, 2003, made the case for the war by presenting U.S. intelligence that purported to prove that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Wilkerson says the information in Powell's presentation initially came from a document he described as "sort of a Chinese menu" that was provided by the White House.

"(Powell) came through the door ... and he had in his hands a sheaf of papers, and he said, 'This is what I've got to present at the United Nations according to the White House, and you need to look at it,'" Wilkerson says in the program. "It was anything but an intelligence document. It was, as some people characterized it later, sort of a Chinese menu from which you could pick and choose."

The thing is Roxxanne isn't really a racist or anti-feminist any more than I am. She is a partisan hypocrite, and I assert that I am not.

Although I have a lot of respect for Rice, I don't think that she would be the best running mate for McCain. She is too tightly connected to the Bush administration.

Oh come on, guys. Roxxanne has been accusing everyone of being racist for daring to question her blind support for Obama. .....However, Roxxanne and teenyb have insisted that any questions that might not show Obama with a halo MUST be racially motivated by wealthy White men who dominate America. Those two have specifically charged any criticism of Obama is RACIST.

Now this section is very true.

Yep. And any of us who presume to admire a conservative who happens to be black and/or their point of view are branded the worst form of racist too but are not nearly as severely criticized and condemned as are those conservatives who happen to be black.

This says to me that criticism of a black person isn't necessarily racist. Just criticism of a LIBERAL black person is racist. Don't look for Condi to get any kind of fair treatment from the liberal community because she's pretty conservative.
