The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed.
The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed. The McCarthyism-style smearing of her -- with about as much evidence as Joe McCarthy had on that laundry list in Wheeling -- by Sen. John McCain & Co. has been one of the more disgraceful episodes in modern politics. Which is saying quite a lot when you think of it. That makes her nomination and confirmation no longer an option -- but a necessity. We'll be getting a solid cabinet member -- and putting an end to swift-boating in our time.

- So in other words, you have no clue and just made it up. We already know that. Is it really your opinion that being sent out to lie about what ricks called a relatively small terrorist act qualifies Rice to be Secretary of State? I wonder if Ricks would say that in-person to the families of the dead Americans?
— tr88 - "I wonder if Ricks would say that in-person to the families of the dead Americans?"
Spare us with your phony concern for the families. You couldn't care less about an Ambassador who worked for President Obama - or his family. You and the rest of the Fox-watching bobbleheads have been brainwashed into believing that there was some kind of conspiracy. Don't get me wrong, I blame Fox, knowing full well that you have no mind of your own.
But, yeah, I think I'll believe what Ricks has to say before I listen to a know-nothing like you.— wokmaster - Republicans are opposed to black Secretary of States - nevermind Condoleeza Rice & Colin Powell. What a laugh.
Sheeple. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah— teardownthisfishwrap - ===]]] Let's see...who's opinion should I believe regarding Benghazi... [[[===
Looks like the Repubs think that Condi Rice is someone whose opinion should be trusted:
--snip--
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice believes the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans was not due to any breaches in protocol, pointing instead to the fog created by chaotic situations like the attack on the Benghazi consulate.
Rice, now a professor at Stanford University, told Fox News that it's difficult to know exactly what is going on in situations like this, made more complicated by the necessity of diplomats to often step from behind security walls to do their work effectively.
"It is not very easy in circumstances like this to know precisely what's going on as it's unfolding," she told Fox's Greta Van Susteren. "There are protocols in place, I have no reason to believe they weren't followed, but it is not very easy in circumstances like this to know precisely what's going on as it's unfolding."
Rice also noted the inherent dangers of diplomacy in insecure countries like Libya.
"You can't keep your diplomats in a bunker, you want them out doing their work," she says. "You want to make certain you're making the right safety precautions for them, as well."

— Talking point sleuth - Will caved into truth and criticized the hypocritical double-standard by the left yesterday, but today, predictably, felt compelled to knuckle under to the expected doctrine and let his masters know he can still be relied on when the chips are down. There are future book deals and Media matters subsidies to be considerd.— tr88
- The conspiracy theories never end...by the way, why do you care what Will Bunch thinks?
I tend to agree with him on this one. Yes, I'd rather see the president nominate John Kerry but part of me wants Susan Rice just to shove it up the rear end of Goober Nation.
The present incarnation of the GOP lacks a fundamental seriousness about it. Keep it up, guys. You'll soon be looking back at the last election in awe that your guy got 47% of the popular vote.— wokmaster - "Obama/Rice lie about Benghazzi? Never!" - Administration who told Lockheed to illegally delay layoff notices until after the election.
Sheeple. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah— teardownthisfishwrap - You gotta love tr88's logic: Will posts whatever his masters tell him to post. He has no choice. He must post whatever they want. He an't post anything different.
Except when he posts things they don't like.
Say - tr88 - you wouldn't happen to vote Republican, would you?
— Talking point sleuth - I'm wondering if there's any particular reason why Attytood Republican toadies constantly fantasize about Will living under the thumb of some powerful authority that decides what he can and can't write about.
Hmmmmm. Fantasies about authority. Might be that whole looking-for-a-daddy thing?— Talking point sleuth - You know, in the real world, when you double down on a bad hand you end up losing twice as much. I think Wok is right. Very soon the Republican party is going to look back longingly on the 2012 election as a time when they won at least SOME of their races.— Hamlet
- Hamlet, to be honest, I'm surprised he did that well. Just imagine if the economy had been a little bit further along...
just think how many more votes Obama would have received if the party opposite had worked with him ON ANYTHING for the good of the country, instead of the record number of filibusters and unprecedented obstruction from the GOP...
It's all downhill from here. Pass the popcorn.— wokmaster - There is a reason right wing toadies believe will is constantly under the thumb of some nefarious conspiratorial authority -- extensive research shows the Republican brain believes in authoritarianism. They believe in the authority, and assign this worldview to their judgments. Notice the consistent lack of detail from the 'she lied' crowd. They don't have any specifics -- its self-evident. They heard the detail from the talking head but they can't remember it - probably because they were doing something else while listening.— Murrayman
"There are future book deals and Media matters subsidies to be considerd." . . . . tr88's problem is as old as sin. The sin of envy, that is.- Rice thought she could turn to her Duncan, do an "around the world" and "walk (wag) the doggie" trick and hope the American public would would give her a trophy. Sorry, suzie, but the only ones who bought into the dog and pony tour are administration apologists, like those on this board!— Right To Be Heard
