Confirmation Hearing - Condoleezza Rice

[Don 944 LA]

Did you watch it ?
Thoughts & Opinions ???

Post em here ......


I noticed that many times when senators asked her personnal views and beliefs on stuff, she continued to state " The president ... bla bla bla "
Seems this is sort of like a job interview. If someone was before you seeking a position and quoted other peoples responses etc ... would you hire them ???
Does not appear that she knows what she is doing, and is just a hand puppet.
( just my opinion )

I'm curious on others views here on this .....


side note : gonna start watching C-SPAN again, as I haven't been a regular viewer.

Well, this was certainly no "Job Interview". She was pretty much a shoe-in, and the hearings are/were just a formality.

Actually, the only "value" these hearings would have is the opportunity for the Dems to get their shots in and let her know that they were "gonna keep an eye on her."

The President is the Head of State. That is the way it is done. She knows what she is talking about, believe me..

[lendaddy]

This woman skipped the 1st and 7th grade, got her first degree at 19, countless other achievements, blah blah blah. Don't you think it's odd that the media wan't you to believe she is stupid? It never ceases to amaze me.

[rcecale]

Oh, come on now, Lendaddy! You know that degree at age 19 doesn't mean anything! She's a black woman who only got the degree as part of an Affirmative Action" thingy...

I for one do not believe she is stupid ...... far from it.

[turbocarrera]

Umm.. wasn't she privy to the PDB that warned of an al Qaida attack via flying airliners into buildings? Didn't the FBI issue briefings detailing their concerns about terrorists, who were unconcerned with take-off or landing - just flying, taking flying lessons?

But for her this was "too vague".. as the National Security Advisor.

Oh yeah, she's a wizard..

I've never seen her portrayed as stupid, and I'm a news junky. I did just see Bill O'Reilly say that Intelligent Design should be taught in science class and that if God revealed himself tomorrow, it would be considered science. Now that's stupid.

That Baxter broad from Calif made the Dems look bad imo.

The Dems are probably pissed off that another minority, especially a female minority, has a power position in Washington.

She may be being groomed for Pres or VP. Condi vs Hillary in 2008 will be a wild show if Hillary doesn't get dragged into her Camp Fin Mgr federal charges. He'll probably suffer a mysterious death before that happens thou.

I love the word "broad". Even in a link about smart and capable women! Time we brought it back into regular usage. Thank you Ron!

Man, that is straight outta "Frankenslang!" The type of language used by Frank Sinatra. . . e.g. referring to Jack Daniels as "Gas" and generically to men as "Charley" or "Clyde" if you don't care for them!

I wonder how many of hundreds of similar memos, like "PLA determined to strike inside U.S." or "PETA determined to strike inside U.S." remain classified and we have (and never will) hear about. My point is that after the fact, it's clear that this was the one important memo that should have been paid attention to. Before the fact however, how is one supposed to separate that one from the hundreds of others that didn't happen?

The hearing just proved how racist the Democrates are.
They want to keep blacks down so they can say we will help
but the truth is shown by Boxer that they really hate blacks.
Need proof Sen Byrd is the former KKK grand Dragon.

As a little girl in segregated Birmingham Alabama, Condoleezza Rice, like so many other black Americans, often experienced systematic racism rooted in old-fashioned hatred. On a balmy September morning in 1963 that hatred manifest to sight, the vile portrait of pure evil. A group of radical white supremacists bombed a Birmingham church in a black neighborhood killing four little girls. One of those little girls, Denise McNair, was a friend to Condoleezza Rice.

From her humble beginnings in the Deep South, to one of the President’s most trusted confidants, Dr. Rice has overwhelmingly surpassed external expectations and diligently achieved internal aspirations to become the most powerful black woman in United States history. If her nomination survives Senate confirmation, which is fully expected, she will hold our Nation’s highest Cabinet level position: Secretary of State.

In light of her countless laudable achievements and historical milestones, surely Dr. Rice is a beacon of pride for all who purport to support the black race – she is undoubtedly respected and revered by those who delight in the American dream fulfilled and on display – such a story will certainly be the fabric of hope and inspiration, woven throughout the hearts and minds of America’s black youth for decades to come… No… so very regrettably and predictably, such is not the case…not as long as Democrats have anything to say about it.

You see, the Democratic Party, the liberal “mainstream” media and the rest of the cultural elites are having a very hard time handling Dr. Rice’s rise to power. They’ve waged a disgraceful, racist and cowardly back-door assault against her. Why? Little Ms. Condoleezza has wandered away from the plantation. She refuses to slave in the cotton fields of “progressive” ideology. If she is allowed credibility and is perceived as an acceptable role model, then perhaps black Democrats, heretofore taken for granted, will begin to recognize her achievements as legitimate and honorable, and worse…begin to share her socially and fiscally conservative, Republican values. If this happens…all is lost.


In a manner that is objectively and demonstrably racist, liberal Democrats and the media have collectively assumed the persona of David Duke. Here’s but a snippet: In his recent comic strip, Doonesbury creator and liberal Democrat Garry Trudeau depicts Dr. Rice as an un-educated idiot, and refers to her as “Brown Sugar.” In his recent cartoon, liberal Democrat and syndicated cartoonist Pat Oliphant characterizes Dr. Rice as a squawking parrot perched upon President Bush’s finger, blindly, mindlessly and dutifully observing his every whim. Her lips are exaggerated in a grossly bulbous and ethnically stereotypical fashion. And, with his recent masterpiece, liberal Democrat and LA Times editorial cartoonist Jeff Danziger reminds us all of the days when the KKK actually had some pull. His cartoon portrays Dr. Rice as, what can only be described as a tattered barefoot slave “mammy” (probably Prissy from Gone with the Wind). She sits in a rocking chair with her legs spread. On her lap she holds an aluminum tube like an infant (ostensibly a tube of the uranium enrichment variety). She attempts to feed the tube with a bottle and then, in the stereotypical vernacular of a “colored,” says, “I knows all about aluminum tubes. Correction. I don't know nuthin' about aluminum tubes.”

Yet, we wait. We wait for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to explode on the scene demanding that Trudeau, Oliphant and Danziger be skewered alive and peeled. We wait for the NAACP, and the droves of other liberal Democrats who fancy themselves as America’s (self appointed) “black leadership” to demand that all three be fired and banished to Nebraska, Oklahoma or some other Red-State. But, we wait in vain. Instead, we hear the deafening and ever so telling clamor of indifferent silence. They’re cut from the same cloth you see – they play for the same team – the same rules don’t apply – integrity be damned! One need only imagine the utter pandemonium had a conservative Republican conceptualized and produced the same racist refuse.

Still, on the larger front in the battle between Republicans and Democrats for the hearts, minds, souls and votes of black Americans, it’s quite simple. The Democratic Party’s survival is dependent upon blacks being dependent upon the Democratic Party. Confusing? Not really. One of the Party’s chief tenets, and that which is most central to its survival, is the perpetual maintenance of Black America’s dependence on Big (Democrat controlled) Government – it’s the Party’s notion that another promised entitlement yields another black vote. For the Democratic Party to live another day, save another tree, kill another baby…the backward fiction that a successful black-man is not really a black-man at all, must live on. Once that is gone and the secret gets out – Checkmate! – Game-over.

Perhaps the marked hypocrisy revealed in the Democratic Party’s recent deplorable and racist treatment of Condoleezza Rice has done enough to reveal the man behind the curtain – to expose black America to the reality that they have been, for far too long, taken for granted – used – exploited by the Democratic Party. And as more and more black Americans begin to embrace the success oriented, values driven, economically sound principles held by the Republican party and shared by such great Americans as Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas and Colin Powell, then perhaps more and more black Americans will resolve to break free and walk away from the Democratic Party’s beguiling chains of bondage.

The pros started talking about all his concepts and details since the Dems cleaned out all the Reps after Nixon. The info age is making it more difficult for the old ways to be successful anymore imo. Hillary's movements since Bush won are actually mechanically correct in trying to be the next Pres. If her "movements" work out it'll remap the Dems.

Barber did a great job of packaging current events.
