From Joe Scarborough to John Heilemann, Katty Kay to Mark Halperin to Willie Geist, it was unanimous on today's Morning Joe. Whatever the substance, whatever the policy, Republicans would be making a massive political mistake by opposing the possible nomination of Susan Rice as Secretary of State.
Summed up Scarborough the MJ zeitgeist: "do a bunch of old white guys want to make their first big battle, post-election, a battle going up against a younger woman of color?"

The soft bigotry of low expectations.
So is Joe saying Ms. Rice isn’t capable of doing the job on her own without a white man stepping in to defend her? I thought she was a professional woman capable of doing her job and defending her positions. Apparently liberals think she is weak and unable to do her job properly without their help.
So, when is it OK to criticize a minority?
Only when he’s a conservative, I guess.
I guess what he’s saying is that, like Barack Obama, she was picked due to her skin color with the intent of using “race” as a criticism shield.

So . . . these are the new rules of politics? You can’t criticize or hold responsible a minority politician/cabinet official for ANYTHING, unless said minority is a Conservative Republican?
A boarding house chamber pot is a cleaner receptacle than a leftist’s braincase.
Exactly. After this last election, I am so burned out from watching politics as I suspect most are. I say don't watch any of the networks or cable news shows. Sink their ratings and let them go under. Comcast is already hurting. If no one watches, they'll disappear. Nothing would make me happier than to see the obama cheerleaders lose their jobs and have their 401k's melt down.
Superficial and meaningless propaganda.
Rice’s unblinking statements, puppeted on talk TV, are sum and substance of the Democrat COVERUP (orchestrated by the WH).
Using the Democrat’s Watergate Rules, if Rice made the statements knowing they were lies, that’s reason enough—under Dem’s own rules-—for a govt official to end up in prison
YOO-HOO OBAMA The real issue is the 4 dead Americans in Benghazi & WHY the govt made no effort to help them.
The woman repeated lies.
Ambassador to Libya!?!
(What a great place to hide Susan Rice...'til this blows over)
Huh? Most of us love Condi... oh.. that Rice. The incompetent liar, yeah I despise her, because well, she’s an incompentent liar. Oh and secretly I really just don’t like female and minority liberals, the white male liberals are all fine by me (/LIBTARDSARCASM)
=======================================
COMMENTS Talk about distractions---Benghazi had n-o-t-h-i-n-g to do with funding....BUT "getting on your high horse" is Democrats' favorite sport.
Ohaha mounted up----he was incensed when Sens McCain and Lindsey Graham charged UN Amb Susan Rice with misleading the nation when she appeared on five Sunday TV talk shows, puppeting each time, that the killings were a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video.
FEM-LIBS CHECK THIS OUT Obama rode out, masquerading as a white knight to save Rice, a damsel in distress, declaring: Amb Rice appeared at the request of the White House to give her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her.....she was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received.
Oh please, we all know Rices rendition of the terror attack that killed four Americans was demonstrably false. An indication of her unerring stupidity----Rice misled the nation.
When she unblinkingly made comments "based on her understanding of intelligence she had received", Rice gave undeniable witness to the educational fallout of affirmative action.
Since I don’t see Oliphant anyhmore, thank you for that. There are different rules for conservatives and liberals.
When I was in college in NY, I took German as my language. (Math people did have to read German in the old days.) I got the occasional German mag, including Simplicissimus, which no longer exists. It was political commentary, with lots of cartoons. It was not respectful of authority, with often nasty humor.
It was not at all respectful of Africans either, and the cartoons were unkind, to put it mildly. The cartoons were so over the top that they were simply unbelievable. Great skill in pen and ink, however.
The Oliphant cartoon would have been right at home there in the 60’s. But his is politically correct. How the world turns!
so true
This woman either lied or is completely incompetent. Either way, she is not suited for further service.
So ... the leftists reveal their reflexive racism and inability to comprehend "equality".
Is not Old White Guys demeaning jus younger woman of color. Personally it is not the woman’s skin color it is her damn stupoidity in making the comments based on a falsehood. Has she taken the time to recant what she has spoken. No, instead the piece of proverbial dog poop in the WH claims he is now responsible for whatever she said. Proverbial double speak.
