No, its Condoleezza, rotsky.

Race issues? Please... (pop)

This is actually pretty cool of her.

I wonder if she's got a little Obama-longing?

zomg she called being black a birth defect!

/that's what rush would say if obama had said this

Oh WOW subby! You found a topical word that fits into the (R-xxx) format, you are a master of wit.

Seriously. Am I the only person who finds the whole (R-jokeword) (D-jokeword) convention parody to be the lamest weakest laziest unfunny attempt at humor?

/I am apparently much too worked up about this

Considering all of the crap that passes for humor in current society, that's what pisses you off???

I_C_Weener: albo: it's "condoleezza," cracker

No, its Condoleezza, rotsky.

She's Condescending, you guys.

submitter: Condaleeza Rice (R-ace issues) admits that the US has trouble dealing with race issues because of slavery, idiotic soundbites black people, white people, brown people...

Better.

THIS! You're doing it wrong, failmitter.

Birth defect? So she's saying America is deformed?

ZOMFG!! Condi threw America under the bus!!11!!

/awaiting day after day of Rush, Hannity, Instapundit, etc. dwelling on this...
//not really

Handicapped Parking for everyone!

Lionel Mandrake: Birth defect? So she's saying America is deformed?

That's some nice stereotyping work there, Lou.

And if you want to complete the analogy, the defect was fixed, but there was that very painful and not entirely successful surgery, and the years of physical therapy. Now if we could just get rid of this last set of crutches...

MasterThief: That's some nice stereotyping work there, Lou.

Kinda missed the humor-- and the point--there, didn't you?

Just about every country on the planet has race issues, not just the U.S.

Obdicut: This is actually pretty cool of her.

I wonder if she's got a little Obama-longing?

No.
I suspect she may have a thing for his wife...

Wow...that sounds very vice-presidential of her...

IXI Jim IXI: Wow...that sounds very vice-presidential of her...

I imagine if she did that, the Democrats would have a collective heart attack.

IXI Jim IXI: Wow...that sounds very vice-presidential of her...

There's about as much chance of this happening as there is of Al Gore becoming Emperor of the Moon.

Calvin Coolidge: There's about as much chance of this happening as there is of Al Gore becoming Emperor of the Moon.

What's so crazy about that? He invented the moon, didn't he? ;)

Oh, joy...

Now I can be accused of being racist for not voting for her should McCain name her his running mate, never mind the fact that she was a key player in one of the worst Presidential administrations in history.

MasterThief

Now if we could just get rid of this last set of crutches...

Once the limp goes away, I'm right there with you.

why?

Shostie: Just about every country on the planet has race issues, not just the U.S.

And thus you should be inspired to do nothing?

Piss off. If your country is so hell-bent on waving its flag and trumpeting itself as the Beacon of Democracy^TM to the rest of the world, it ought to live up to its own hype.

I think one of the most useful things about the Wright fiasco is that it has acted as a pretty effective litmus test for the conservative voices in America splitting them neatly into 2 camps.

1. Serious conservatives who either don't want to make this a campaign issue and would rather talk about Iraq, taxes, etc or who are willing to discuss larger issues of race in America:
McCain, Huckabee, Rice, most of the NRO crowd.

2. Professional outrage peddlers who put up a statement, feel outrage, repeat as necessary:
with 1 or 2 exceptions - the Fox news crowd, the GOP strategists, few politicians themselves but look for this to change.

How could Condi say that?

All the republicans know that his speech was only about calling white people racist. That's what Rush told them to think.

Shostie: Just about every country on the planet has race issues, not just the U.S.

So we've gone from "there is no problem" to "there is a problem, but it's your fault" to "there is a problem, it's all our fault, but everyone else has the same problem".

It may as well be asked:

When will certain people let slavery go?

She's about to be McCain's VP nominee.

The perfect answer to the "How are we going to race bait without appearing racist ourselves?" question.

This way she can attack Obama and the pastor without blowback.
Something McCain can't do.

Clam Sandwich: It may as well be asked:

when the last vestiges of improper treatment disappear. Racism is no longer overt, but it shows up in strange places

Cagey B:

Not news: Farker engages in clichelarity. News: jimmeyego gets irritated, Step 3- Profit. Fark: Your dog wants HA HA Duke sucks while France surrenders. USA: Like, whatevs, France. Wait, what?

Embellished that for you.

Clam Sandwich: It may as well be asked:

When will certain people let slavery go?

When people wake up to personal responsibility and learn to judge on the basis of character not color or appearance.

That goes for 'both sides'.

Unfortunately 'both sides' have individuals that make large sums of money keeping the race-baiting going.

What we didn't know was how truly broken the society was," she said.

Although Saddam Hussein's regime was mostly to blame for that, she said that U.N. sanctions contributed as well, because as a result of them, "agriculture is virtually dead in Iraq."

Talk about passing the buck. She'd wanna look a little closer to home.

No shiat.

"Father, why can't the crop grow?"

"Well son, becuase the Americans democratized the shiat outta the fields with their magic Democracy bombs"

tgregory: agrees [attractive and successful African Americans omitted]


Ain't that the truth. Some people's fears are so deep rooted, the thought that any black person could possibly be more successful than they is proof of white disenfranchisement.

tgregory: agrees

Wow, you're right! Those three famous black people have shown me that everything's just fine racially!

Dammit, don't give the McCain campaign any ideas! They'll be all over her like whites on Rice.

If this does indeed transpire, you win 40 internets.

Nominating Rice would be a huge mistake. If anyone had any doubts about McCain being Bush for a third term, recruiting the failed members of the previous administration would remove them.

shhh. they're supposed to think it's brilliant.

Condi has nothing in her past that might come back to haunt her I'm sure. Look at all those successes she has stacked up.

When she was the National Security Advisor she couldn't imagine anyone would think of flying a plane into a building.
She never held any terrorism meetings at the cabinet level before 9/11
She said she wasn't left a plan but a list of actionable items.
And then the diplomatic successes of her Sec of State stint. Well words just can't describe how much of a success that's been.

tgregory: agrees

You are so right. Here's some pictures from East New York:

Plus the right will never vote for a black. Ever. Just wont happen.

tgregory: "...descendants of slaves did not get much of a head start, and I think you continue to see some of the effects of that..."


agrees

Wow. A whole three black people. Well I guess the work is all done, and racism is over.

Rev. Skarekroe: tgregory: agrees

Wow, you're right! Those three famous black people have shown me that everything's just fine racially!

2 athletes and a talk-show host? Seriously? Why didn't you just cite the existence of the NBA as your proof?
