Missing Condi….
Flopping Aces ^ | 05-02-09 | Mataharley

Watch our always classy, former SOS take on Stanford University progressive liberal know-it-all students, and put their sound byte educated selves in their place during an impromptu "interrogation" about torture, Gitmo, etal. This woman doesn't parse words, straddle fences, and she sure doesn't back down.... and still remains the lady thru and thru.

My personal favorite? The part about why the Club Gitmo tribunals were delayed....

BTW... picked this up off James Delingpole's London Telegraph blog. What he said?

If ever you needed further proof of the "person of color" America really needs in charge right now, I urge you to watch this fabulous YouTube footage of the magnificent Condoleezza Rice being ambushed by left-liberal students at Stanford University with a series of "difficult" questions about torture, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and US foreign policy under George W Bush. (Hat tip: Andrew Hamilton.)

~~~

Condi, you are a star and if America won't have you as our next president, please will you come over and be our next Queen instead?

That videotape will teach her not to debate leftist students or not to get so angry at one that when the next one asks a question she’s still steaming and answers without thinking, fodder for the video cameras.

She was pretty tough on them. I don’t agree with everything CRice said or did but I did enjoy her smacking down those know-it-alls.

She is very classy against a bunch of liberal wonderkin students when discussing an issue they know little about - “Do your homework!”

At first I was gonna say I can’t believe she wasted five minutes of her time on this unknowledgeable robot, but thankfully her great response was recorded and over 100,000 people (so far) have watched what she had to say. Talk about the guy’s plan backfiring.

You know what, we as conservatives, need to spend five minutes with these unkowledgable robots and get the truth out to them. That’s why people don’t know what we truly stand for and they twist our words and make things up. We need to engage them and correct their misconceptions, as Dr. Rice so brilliantly did.

You are absolutely right. We need to engage the misinformed, and not give them up as hopeless ignoramuses. Many conservatives were once at this stage during their youth, myself included.

Condi Rice was Colin Powell in a skirt, minus 100 lbs, and minus the relevant military experience, and equally as useless.

I believe she said something like, "If the President authorizes it, it is legal".

Sounds like she enjoys to be a few steps from the Constitution and morals herself.

The Nuremberg Trials tagged and bagged the concept of "We had orders".

Yeah, if in a hypothetical world, President George W. Bush had ‘authorized’ Karl Rove to pump a few rounds of .45 ACP into Condi’s azz, it would be legal wouldn’t it?

I didn’t see anything there that supports your post.

What she said was fine, but the students used her and what she said to publicize “parts” of what she said that made it look like she was confessing to ok’ing what they took to be torture. My post warns of leftist students with videocams in one-on-one discussions with pivotal historical figures like Condi. They salivate at the thought of bringing them down.

Remember George Allen? One remark and the left uses it like a knife. I would just advise someone not to get in those situations in the first place.

I stipulate that she definitely said something that sounded a lot like that. But like Condi, you and I both know that if that had been what those questioners heard, they would have gone ballistic for certain sure. And her listeners did not even follow up on it as you and I would have done. I suspect that you and I missed something, perhaps something that she had explained earlier.
