As I wrote this morning to the NewsBusters editor who alerted me to the Washington Post's editorial, "The GOP’s bizarre attack on Susan Rice," I don't read WaPo much, but somehow assume they're not quite as extreme as the New York Times. Silly me, judging by WaPo's ugly, over-the-top opinion item.
Here's the ugly last paragraph from today's editorial: "Could it be, as members of the Congressional Black Caucus are charging, that the signatories of the letter are targeting Ms. Rice because she is an African American woman? The signatories deny that, and we can’t know their hearts. What we do know is that more than 80 of the signatories are white males, and nearly half are from states of the former Confederacy."
More after the jump.

Do you oppose Susan Rice’s nomination? That’s racist! Ping to Today show list.

Yeah..the GOP just hated having Condi Rice as SOS. They have a really big memory hole right in the center of the Compost office.
I am opposed to Rat Rice holding any administration position because she is either a liar or stupid. The administration used her to deliver a message simply because she really knew nothing about the situation.
Is “Inept” now considered a race?
Under Obama, we are witnessing the self-Sovietization of the American media.
Well the TIMING sure is suspicious...no sooner does she get up an LIE to the American people about the reasons for the deaths of four fellow citizens than we turn RACIST. You’d think we could have at least started burning crosses in front of her house weeks or months ago...like any good racists would have done. /sarc
The only raceists left in America are those who possess and wield the race card to trump rationality.
Well said.
The Republicans will never accept a black woman as Secretary of State.
The lady knowingly lied to the American people. She is not qualified to be SOS. Race has nothing to do with it.
This is another area where the GOP falls down on the job.
Just stand up and tell the WP and gov’t race-baitors to cut the sh!t. Truth is on your side, so hold your ground and don’t waiver!
Grow a spine for once.
Since most of the people who oppose Susan Rice enthusiastically supported Condoleezza Rice for the same position, the WP must think that Condoleezza Rice is not black.
It’s racist not to want an angry ignoramous to represent the nation at the UN?
You're right. There was a time, not too long ago, when an accusation like that would have been met with a challenge to meet in the morning with dueling pistols.
How did the Republican women respond to the gang of 12 black women Marxists, lined up in a press conference to throw an Alinsky fit, in attempt to smear and reduce the merits of our complaint into white on black sexism.
Grant it, I haven’t watched tv news since the election, but Republican women, particularly white Republican women should have raised hell instead of leaving their job to the conservative newsrooms.
Republican white women failed as usual to give as good as they get.
Another missed opportunity.
“Trained parrot” is a race. Based on that, a LOT of the Current Regime belong to said race, including Bronco Bama himself, a smoothly speaking reader of the ever-present Teleprompter.
Valerie Jarrett, George Soros’ surrogate, is the handler in the White Hut for all the multitude of this gang of parrots, keeps them all on the same page and speaking in unison. Inept just happened along the way, not the original intention at all.
Condi can’t be black. She’s a Republican.
Considering Susan Rice is whiter than I am....race is not the issue with Rice. Her being a lying moron has all to do with it
Note: Race card is never played when someone is truly qualified...only played when person not qualified or competent
The old, white hippies down at the WaPo playing the race card again. So Skippy, how do you criticize someone who is an incompetent moron and a liar without being called a “rasis” by the incomepetent morons in Barry’s state controlled “media”? We could use a hand here.
