Zoocoustic said:Libs have always been threatened by Condi simply because she is a black female. It shuts down their arguement that conservatives are racist, sexist, etc.

A_Wanderer said:Racism is racism, it would be very dumb to try and lump it all with mild political persuasion. That previous post was a profoundly unsettling one, there was a failure on 9.11 but it would be wrong to dump it all on this administration.

That does not mean she is competent at her job.
There is quite a difference between being an academic achiever
A_Wanderer said:You are exactly right, if I were to read some of the footnotes then I could blame most of it on the Bush administration, of course I could also read the rest and understand that there were other failures and ultimately fixing the problems are better than blame.

you can dump a whole lot on Temn Bush
If you read some of the footnotes in the 9-11 report it shows more than what the genreal report says.
and its been said that part 2 of it {the report] was held back because of the election, because it's more sepcific on peoples failure.

There is quite a difference between being an academic achiever (with a high IQ) and common sense and success in the real world.
I work every day with PhDs from the world's best institutions. They are incredibly intelligent people, and a good majority lack the sort of social skills that any car mechanic has. A good half of them live in a world of academia, completely removed from reality, unable to relate to colleagues or employees or students.
Condi's brilliance was not exhibited in her position as NSA.

there ARE a whole bunch of racist Conservatives & neo-cons out there. Just go read some of the shit that is deposited every day in some of those white powertype sites.
Yes and Liberals too can be rascist, though in them it's sometimes more hidden, or even unconcious or sometimes less than in some conservatives.

ROTFLMAO! I love it
It's hilarious how conservatives find a qualified person for the spots who is a woman and/or minority so no one can diss the choice without appearing non PC It really backs any opposition up against the wall.
Go Condi!

See, this kind of behaviour has a name. It's called "tokenism".

Why is it that because I don't approve of Gonzales getting Attorney General and Rice getting Sec. of State that I'm automatically a racist?

But it works, because there is no defense to it.
And how do you know Bush doesn't really believe Condi is best for the job?
