Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday slammed Democrats who sought to use race against Republicans in the midterm elections, saying they were offensive and out of touch.
“The idea that you would play such a card and try fearmongering among minorities just because you disagree with Republicans, that they are somehow all racists, I find it appalling. I find it insulting,” she said on Fox News.
Rice and the show’s co-host, Brian Kilmeade, specifically mentioned the Georgia Democratic Party’s flyers that asked voters to prevent another shooting similar to that in Ferguson, Mo.
“We are not race blind. Of course we still have racial tensions in this country. But the United States of America has made enormous progress in race relations and it is still the best place on Earth to be a minority,” Rice said.
She also warned President Obama against issuing an executive order on that would effectively make changes to the country’s immigration policies.
“We can’t have a circumstance in which we are going after a problem as meddlesome and potential divisive as immigration by executive action only,” Rice said. “This has to go through the people’s representatives.”
When asked about the potentially historic candidacy of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, Rice said that she hopes voters would choose based solely on candidates’ policies. And while Rice said that she was very fond of former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.), a potential Republican candidate for president, she dismissed any speculation that she might run.
“I am a professor at Stanford. I am a happy professor at Stanford; that’s where I am staying,” she said. “I had a chance to be secretary of State. I’m an international relations specialist; it doesn’t get better than that.”
Yep, the race card, the war on women etc. I am glad these phony issues ran out of steam. I am surprised they did not raise Bush’s name.
People may have had a positive or negative opinion of Condi Rice, but it’s hard to argue that she isn’t 20 times the quality of person as the weirdos infesting this administration.
Agreed!

Betcha $5 they ain’t done with these memes. Despite the fact that thermonulclear torpedos were fired into these chants, they were forged on an anvil of perceived voter stupidity and there isn’t going to be any big sudden change in this attitude on the part of the leftist elites.
Condi Rice was attacked by democrats. the attacks were racist and obscene.
democrats are the lowest form of life.
Damn straight. Imagine ... if you will ... SOS Clinton attacked so obscenely ....
Where in the h*ll was the Secret Service?!

Democrats doing what Democrats do.
And they've been doing it since forever:
I’ll bet if you searched the voter roles one N. Grigsby has been voting democrat in every election since 1890!
The response on the Left to Condi Rice was, and remains, a monument to intellectual vacuum: “oh, well, she isn’t a woman and she isn’t black.” You can’t even debate that sort of stupidity.
“Appalling”????? I’d say “typical”.
Odumbo has set race relations back more than anyone in recent history. He and his ilk have made it bad for all decent blacks who actually want to progress.
You can find wrong with her positions on plenty of issues, but "race-baiting" and "0bama-supporter" are not on the list.
Condoleezza Rice Hits Obama On Foreign Policy ... (at the RNC convention in August, 2012)
LOL!
Did Condi vote for Obola? I’m thinking she would like Colin Powell
Condi is squishy lib but never a liar the way Susan Rice, Obama and Holder have been/ Condi was moral about not lying
I don't think that was ever proven. She was even mentioned as a potential VP for McCain. IMHO, she's got plenty of faults but is TONS better than Colon Powell who is a liar [remember Scooter!] and race-baiter.
