Cartoonist calls Condi Rice 'murderer' – again

WASHINGTON – He did it again, but this time on national TV.

Aaron McGruder, a black syndicated cartoonist who's getting his own prime-time TV series on Fox, called National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice "a murderer" for her role in the Iraq war.

He made the remark as a guest on the nationally syndicated TV show "America's Black Forum," hosted by syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Juan Williams.

The creator of the popular "Boondocks" comic strip reportedly caused some discomfort at an anniversary dinner for the Nation magazine here last month when he told the mostly anti-war audience, "I've met Condoleezza Rice and called her a murderer to her face."

In a Sunday broadcast of the "Black Forum" show, McGruder, speaking from Los Angeles, repeated the epithet, arguing that Rice, as one of the administration's "biggest hawks," advised the president on a war that led to the "slaughter of innocent people in Iraq."

Some of the black panelists assembled in the Washington studio winced at the remarks.

Conservative syndicated columnist Armstrong Williams rebuked the cartoonist, whose strip is syndicated in more than 250 newspapers.

"I can't get over the fact you labeled Miss Rice a murderer," he said.

The low-key McGruder, 29, asserted that he has a right to his opinion.

"She's a murderer because I believe she's a murderer," he said coolly.

NAACP chairman Julian Bond, another panelist, wrote it off to "satire," but added, smiling, "I agree with his politics."

Late last year, McGruder made Rice's love life the topic of his comic.

"Maybe if there was a man in the world who Condoleezza truly loved, she wouldn't be so hell-bent to destroy it," one of his "Boondocks" characters speculates in a strip.

The Washington Post pulled the series on Rice, which ran some five days. The Cincinnati Enquirer dropped the strip altogether.

McGruder, who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000, claims Rice, also black, asked him to write her into his strip.

"Boondocks," a hip-hop version of Doonesbury, is distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.

McGruder, who graduated from the University of Maryland with an African-American studies degree, has written a best-selling coffee-table collection of his strips called "A Right to be Hostile."

He's reportedly developing with Sony a prime-time animated series based on "Boondocks" for Fox. It's slated for the fall.

Ain't no hate like a liberal scorned. Condi turned down his propostition, eh?

"She's a murderer because I believe she's a murderer," he said coolly.

You're a sorry, no-talent, deluded loser, because you're a sorry, no-talent deluded loser--independent of my belief.

[kellynla]

libel? Is this grounds for a lawsuit? hmmmmmmm...

Oh, great - just what we need; more airtime devoted to demonrat progaganda.

When you have a reputation for leaving "turds in the punchbowl"...you tend to get fewer and fewer party invites...

[CholeraJoe]

He's just syaing that because he wants to nail her and knows he's got nooooo chance.

[Johnny_Cipher]

Condi turned down his propostition, eh?

Sure looks like it. She's picky - stays within her own species.

[dirtboy]

"She's a murderer because I believe she's a murderer," he said coolly.

And I believe that McGruder has three eyes and eight legs. And, since I believe it, it must be so.

At least McGruder is being honest in his depravity, most liberals don't reveal just how depraved their thought processes have become and try to put a fig leaf of manufactured facts over their opinions.

[SoKatt]

Time to start writing letters and making phone calls to Sony.

[wimpycat]

LOL! Either that, or it's envy. Condi Rice got to her position on merit, and McGruder got to his because somebody said, "Hey, we don't have enough minority syndicated cartoonists--let's get us one. It doesn't matter how much he sucks."

[anonymous_user]

McGruder... claims Rice, also black, asked him to write her into his strip.

Yeah, I'm sure Condi is out trolling for face time in the comics in her spare time. She's such a publicity hound.

What the heck does one do with a degree in African American studies (other than doing race baiting strips)?

[SunStar]

Fox gave this extreme-left racist a cartoon show? More leftist drivel for Rupert Murdoch's entertainment division. Obviously, Murdoch and his Newscorp are just as bad as Viacom and others... Actually, they're worse. They sneakily consume conservative viewers on FNC, while endorsing trashy television on Fox Network and FX.

"She's a murderer because I believe she's a murderer," he said coolly.

This is a classic post-modernist view of the world. Things are true if they think they are true, facts be damned. This is epidemic in the left wing.

"McGruder, who graduated from the University of Maryland with an African-American studies degree..."

Can you imagine... "McGruder, who graduated from the University of Maryland with a White-American studies degree..."

It's too bad we cant just get 'American Studies' degrees.

[Benrand]

You learn how to speak like a jailhouse philosopher.

[shadowman99]

"He's reportedly developing with Sony a prime-time animated series based on "Boondocks" for Fox. It's slated for the fall." Plan your boycotts now!

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

I've seen his cartoon strip, and while the artwork is okay the text panders to the worst elements in the black community. He is David Duke's dark bro.

[altura]

How come he doesn't pick on Colin Powell?

Is Colin on the Black Pass List or is he afraid of getting his butt whupped.

I mean picking on a girl???

However, Condi could probably take him too.
