Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Fox’s Brian Kilmeade this morning in which the two discussed everything from the midterm election results to President Barack Obama‘s willingness to work with a Republican-dominated Congress, to political ads during the campaign season that had certain racial connotations.

Rice said she was “appalled” by ads run by the Georgia Democratic Party that warned of more Ferguson-like events if Republicans were elected.

While acknowledging that there are still racial tensions in America, she said America is still “the best place on Earth to be a minority” and that the country has made “enormous progress” over the years on race relations.

“The idea that you would play such a card and try fear-mongering among minorities, just because you disagree with Republicans, that they’re somehow all racist, I find it appalling, I find it insulting, and as a Republican black woman from the South, I would say to them, ‘Really? Is that really the argument that you’re going to make in 2014?’”

I just voted to hide a comment (about Obama) somewhat similar to the one I want to make about Rice. Suffice to say, the irony doesn't taste good in my mouth.

1. Selling a war based on lies, "‘Really? Is that really the argument that you’re going to make"

Fuck you Condi

[louis-t]

2. Why isn't she in jail?

Sorry, that's not enough. "Appalling"? A-fucking-ppalling? No, what's 'appalling' is killing hundreds of thousands of people for your ideology. What's appalling is thinking you are an economist and fucking up the economy and ruining millions of peoples' lives. What's appalling is hugging and kissing and holding hands with the leader of a country that sent 15 of 19 hijackers into our buildings after you ignored all the warnings. What's appalling is all of the sidestepping you did while testifying in court to protect your boyfriend. Jeez! "Appalling".

[rurallib]

35. I second that.

[George II]

3. From the woman who can't put together a complete sentence with a cogent thought.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. I'll never forget

Watching the news on Friday night during a girls night in - scenario - 4 black women in their early 30's sipping wine and take out sushi . . .

And video of Condis saying -

Yes, I'm a black African American.

And my friend Julie says - she forgot negro.
And I say - she forgot colored.
And Cheryl says - she forgot the j word.

So Julie sent Condi a letter stating the next time she stated her race to make sure she included them all - signed four concerned . . ..

black African American Negro Colored women from Rochester NY.


Good times! Good times!


ETA - forgot to mention - we got a thank you letter back! one of those form ones!

[George II]

14. Well she may have wanted to differentiate herself from...................

.......albino African Americans? (hope that's not taken as offensive!!!)

[JustAnotherGen]

33. Not at all

We thought it was because we all wore our hair natural and she wanted to differentiate herself from women who don't relax!

[still_one]

4. "America is still the best place to be a minority"? Maybe she should see

What happens with real people instead of that ivory castle she confines herself to

[underpants]

32. Hey! She's a member at Augusta Country Club

We need to let two women in.
How about Condi ..... and ......
The second one don't mattuh.
Right Boss.

[Hangingon]

39. She is a member of the Augusta National Golf Club.

[underpants]

41. Whoops

My bad

[belzabubba333]

5. WHY DONT YOU JUST SHUT YER YAPPER

as chris farley would have said

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Gitcher teefies fixed, Condo.

[Dont call me Shirley]

7. And condi's opinion is relevant...how?

[Odin2005]

8. Who aked for Kinda-Sleezy's opinion?

[Old Nick]

19. FUX News, of course

Warning: If you have eaten anything within the last two hours, DON'T WATCH THIS!

[PatrynXX]

10. Lady faces war crimes thinks there's no racism

do'h. People used to think Colin Powell was openly white he just happened to be black (Carlin) Colin makes more sense now. People sometimes change Condie wicked witch of um Georgia , yes I expect more Fergosons to happen. ie they are!!! St Louis already. How can you be appalled when it's already happening

[sheshe2]

11. I think I am going to puke!

Condi

[asiliveandbreathe]

12. Condi Rice is

dick cheney in a skirt...

can we talk condi - let's see lied us into a war - +4000 US military killed - +32,000 injured and maimed for life - untold numbers of Iraqis killed or maimed..

can we talk - and condi wants to talk about some AD in GA that was distasteful?????? - Hearing anything from Rice is distasteful...

I'm done! - I know I am preaching to the choir - but, just sometimes you gotta get it out of your system....

[bamacrat]

13. Maybe she should just stick to football at this point...

Although I'm not sold on her being on the Playoff Commission she would be best served to not comment on politics regarding fear-mongering.

[logosoco]

15. Well it's not surprising that someone who was one of the archetects of

an illegal war wouldn't have a problem with the police tear gassing and meeting protesters with riot gear. To people like her, that is America and it's a fine place to be. She thinks everyone is livin' like the 1%.

[KamaAina]

16. I only want one thing from Kinda Sleazy

not to pack the college football playoff with SEC teams.

[Darb]

23. She makes the whole process illegitimate.

Hate that she is involved. She keeps failing up.

[George II]

17. I like this one...."the country has made “enormous progress” over the years on race relations"...

Yeah, and if you're in a 100 foot deep hole and scratch yourself halfway up, you've made "enormous progress", but you're STILL 50 feet deep in the hole.

[George II]

28. I think you should research race relations in Canada, the UK, Japan, etc....

[George II]

31. Damn, and I never even got a chance to report that clown's posts!!! Good riddance.

[jtuck004]

34. I was gonna give you about the same list. You should get out more. Of the country. The

propaganda here is too thick to think, obviously, by your response.

Go to Canada or Mexico or places further away - you will find many don't share your opinion.

And if that police officer goads one into a confrontation, treating them disrespectfully because of their skin color, and it is not addressed, that is intentionally leaving out a very important part of the story. That sounds like someone pushing an agenda. Like a seller of used cars.

Anyway, thanks for the opinion. Will add it to the pile of about 416,000,000 others. I'm sure it will stand out.

[George II]

18. I wonder if she found THIS "appalling"?

[muntrv]

20. Oh please, Condi! Those ads were no worse than say the Willie Horton ad

poppy Bush used.

[Darb]

21. The Georgia Democratic Party actually ran ads that stupid?

Sounds false flaggy to me.

[muntrv]

22. Condi, go hunt with Cheney! And bring plenty of beer!

[GeorgeGist]

24. Buffoon.

[Louisiana1976]

27. I'll never forget when Katrina was going on and New Orleans was drowning. Condi shopped for

shoes, then saw Spamalot.

[onehandle]

30. Sack of shit, inside a sack of shit, inside a sack of shit, inside a sack of shit...

It infuriates me that Tiny Fey treated this sack of shit like a celebrity and cast her on 30 Rock.

What part would Joseph Stalin play on a sitcom?

[jtuck004]

36. It appears even a slimy war criminal can be correct, once. They reportedly handed

shit like this out.

"In Georgia, Democrats are circulating a flier warning that voting is the only way “to prevent another Ferguson.” It shows two black children holding cardboard signs that say “Don’t shoot.”"

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/30/us/politics/from-democrats-election-focus-on-racial-scars.html?_r=0

They have one with a black person backed by flames with the word Vote above.

That's sad on so many levels.

[riversedge]

37. YUK--Brian Kilmeade!! He is a Hannity wanna-be.

[Octafish]

38. You know what's really appalling?

Killing a million innocent people to steal their oil.

[Action_Patrol]

40. Appropriate

The lyrics for those of you unfamiliar:

AGAINST ME!
"From Her Lips To God's Ears (The Energizer)"

Send "From Her Lips To God's Ears (The Energizer)" Ringtone to your Cell
Regime change under a Bush doctrine of democratic installations.
Constant war for constant soldiers.
What are we gonna do now?
De-escalation, through military force.
Increase the pressure, Oh Condoleeza
What should we do about the situation in Iran and North Korea?

Condoleeza.

Democratic election under Marshall law.
An Iraqi president out of control of our choices.
After all this death and destruction
Do you really think your actions advocate freedom?
The presidents giving a speech in Georgetown
To remember the voice of a slain civil rights leader,
Do you understand what the martyrs stood for?
Oh Condoleeza do you get the fucking joke?

Condoleeza
Condoleeza
Condoleeza
What are we gonna do now?
Condoleeza
Condoleeza
Condoleeza
What are we gonna do now?

42. STFU Condi

you carry no weight. You are hypocrisy personified.

[KingCharlemagne]

43. She is actually more unctuousness personified, but hypocrisy fits

right in

[Raine1967]

44. Locking -- please consider Re-posting this in GD.

It's more of an analysis rather than LBN. An opine from a former government official is not LBN material

It is however, good for General Discussion or a number of the forums.
