Condi Rice: Civil Rights Icon?
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 02:29 PM by oasis
Why the hell would the "mainsteam media" ask Condi to comment on the passing of Rosa Parks? Condiliar's only association with the civil rights movement is her aquaintance with one of the four girls who were killed by a KKK church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama in the sixties.

The MSM is going to try to make Condi out to be something she isn't and never was.

13. Condi's in her "bomb Syria" mode so that made it even more inappropriate
for them to ask her to comment on such a gentle spirit like Rosa Parks.

up there with Abe Lincoln.

At least he wasn't hated as bad as Bush.

7. Condi probably would have spoken out against Rosa Parks
had she been around during that period.

9. She is an insult to the memory of Rosa Parks


Condi needs to shut up!

Did GW mention her passing today? Did he lower the flags for her?

25. Why do you presume to know what Rosa would think?
Can't you have more respect for her memory?

12. Rosa arrested for not giving up seat to white man in Alabama.
Condi born in Alabama. That is at close as it gets. The msm goes for a comment to Rice who does not hold Rosa Parks values. :puke:

20. She frequently inserts her "raised in segregated Alabama" tale into
her speeches to imply that she identifies with oppressed peoples.

14. Condi
I think Condi is more likely a pod person, transformer or she-devil who (with her pack of hell-hounds) will lead us to the 'end times,' in confirmation of her fundie beliefs.

18. Condi has no "beliefs" other than her belief in how far her ambition
will take her.

28. Condi
A DC-based friend of my neighbor's says that Condi is a menber of a very fundamental RW Christian church in DC. I don't think Condi speaks in 'code' like GW, but I've heard that she is a fundie, nonetheless. This might explain how an articulate, accomplished person can not only support Bush (loyalty can only go so far), but perform the kind of warmongering we've all seen on TV during the past week.

23. She's an all around, first class idiot
She shouldn't even mention Rosa's name, seeing that her boss is filthy piece of trash.

might be an icon for are shoe shopping or ass-kissing. Just sayin'

27. Why do we so often end up attacking Condi based on the color of...
her skin and not on her merits as a Secretary of State and NSA before that? Isn't that what MLK would have wanted?

so far.

31. Condi once referred to the Civil Rights Movement as a "Counterculture"
She said it in a recent interview.

Condi is no ally of the Civil Rights Movement.
