some local "activists" here in Boston (including a City Councilor, Chuck Turner), repeatedly call her "Condoleeza White Rice".

There have been a few opinion articles denouncing this, but not much outrage.

Love how the NAACP can't comment on the remarks until they know the context. That is, unless it's a Republican making a stupid comment to a presumed-to-be-black girl.

I never met a leftist who wasn't a bigot at heart.

Frankly, I love what they're doing.
Speech which we find repulsive is protected speech, after all. And this Condi Rice stuff is pure information.
Keep it up, Dems. Get that message out there.

Sure wish they'd have a big march. With paper mache heads and signs and stuff. I'd be on the sidelines cheering them on.

Why is it only the blogs calling these racist bastards on their crappy remarks? Well, of course, as you said cuz it's the Dems not the Rethugs saying this crap.

Bush's cabinet is more racially diverse than Kerry's frickin' campaign team. It's so patently obvious, that only a moron could miss it. And history proves the Dem's fought civil rights, and the Rethug's supported it.

So...I guess the Dem's are morons. Evil. History re-written, even as we speak.

"Sure wish they'd have a big march. With paper mache heads and signs and stuff. I'd be on the sidelines cheering them on."

Ooh! Cool, paper mache puppet heads with big lips! That'll get the message out! Yeah, we Democrats are TOTALLY like into racial equality!

"Now fetch me a mint julip, Jackson."

"My name is Jason, M'am."

"Whatever. Bring it. Now. Or leave."

What strikes me is the number of people on the right who genuinely wanted her to get that position, and many who genuinely want her to be part of the republican ticket in 2008.

They don't want it because they want to appear diverse even though she will be a symbol of the diversity of the right. They want her in that position because they have seen her in action for 4 years and strongly approve, not because of her gender or her skin color. The motives for her original selection may be unknown but the support they have been given since taking those positions has been unquestionable.

It also strikes me that if the right is supposed to be racist in nature, why is it that any non-whites are welcomed into the party? It seems the left only support minorities as long as they toe the line, and once they break rank, they are fair game.

Yet another reason I know I'm right to be right.

lauraw is right . . . they're just tainting themselves with their ugly behavior.

The more the dem's show their asses, the less likely it becomes that they'll win national office . . .

Well Scout, I would like some Dems to show us their asses. Flavia Colgan can show me her ass. Oh, wait. You mean Dems showing they're asses.

Sorry. Never mind.

Oh I love this.

Linda Hoskins of the NAACP's Madison branch said she could not comment on Sylvester's remarks until she had heard them in their entirety.

What the hell context could there be that would make "Aunt Jemima" an appropriate reference to use for crying out loud?!? That Dr. Rice, shes certainly no Aunt Jemima"

Hell, THAT doesn't even work. Give me a freaking break.

How about "That Condi Rice, she makes a superb pancake batter. Better than Aunt Jemima."

Ted Striker: They're launching the XR-2300! You know what that is doctor?

Dr. Stone: The muffler bracket for the '79 Pinto?

Ted Striker: No, that's the XR-2200. The 2300 is the lunar shuttle.

I don't care who you are, thats funny.
