Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement
now watch them invite snooki (sp?), or honey boo-boo's rancid mother.

the statement was a class, selfless act by a class lady, though.

Quote:Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has backed out of delivering the commencement address at Rutgers University following protests by some faculty and students over her role in the Iraq War.

Rice said in a statement Saturday that she informed Rutgers President Robert Barchi that she was declining the invitation to speak at the graduation.

"Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families," Rice said. "Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."

The left has managed to shut down another voice they disagree with. What a shame.

Apparently anyone named Rice at Rutgers is going to be forced out.

Hypocrisy? Your leftist buddies wrote the book on it. Condie Rice is a great American but yet she was prevented from speaking at Rutgers by your fellow leftists. Look in the mirror ja#kass.Oh yea, you aren't a liberal. Yea, right.

I am a liberal because I prefer gun control? Thats all conservatism is about? If that is all conservatism is then I am OK with being called a liberal.

There are only two issues I disagree with other conservatives. I will leave it at that, I am line with the rest. I am not going to have some moron tell me who I am and I am not, not calling you a moron but that imbecile who thinks he can silence everyone.

RE: Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement
People on the right should be outraged at the overt racism to force one of the most educated and distinguished academics and public servants in our country out of a speech. This was not applied to Bill Clinton in Somalia or Hillary Clinton in the same wars that Condi Rice was involved in. A word was conceived by a group of wealthy academics and progressives who needed to put themselves above and apart from a black woman, to render her inferior and unequal and diminish her accomplishments. At first Condi tried to preserve and speak and she thought the unfair treatment would just go away. But these racists wouldn't stop until they had shackled Condi and forced her out of this opportunity. War Criminal. That's what they called her....but we all know what they really meant!

So wait a minute.

In your eyes, you're labeled a racist if you disagree with Obama.

But aren't you doing that same exact thing here? People disagree with Rice, and you assume they're racists?

The protests were guided at her involvement in the Iraq War. Where the hell does race factor in?

BINGO!!! That's what people on the right have been saying all along! But according to liberals, you cannot disagree with Obama without doing so because of his race. So, I am just playing it the other way. If liberals disagree with black conservatives, it must be because they are racist -- that's what the left says. In truth, these so-called academics have placed no pressure on figures of the left that have continued the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. So, their singling out of Condi Rice is probably race related....what else could it be?

"The Left". You keep saying "The Left".

I'm part of the "left". I don't think anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist. Hell, I think Obama is one of the worst presidents in recent history.

I think Conservatives have thrown out this defense of a phantom accusation. I rarely see conservatives accused of racism because they disagree with Obama.

Yet, every single crime I see on this board is black on white. Why is that?

I mean this in the best possible way, but maybe you are sleeping through the news. Let me take a few issues and highlight what the left says about disagreeing with Obama and race.

Remember when Joe Wilson shouted out "you lie" to Obama when he said illegals would not be covered by Obamacare? Go to google and type in "joe Wilson you lie racist". You will pull up tons of articles from the WaPost, NYTimes, HuffPost, liberal UK papaers, CNN, MSNBC, Jimmy Carter, etc....about how he was racist for saying that.

You recently had AG Holder speak at the NAACP about how he thought he and Obama were scrutinized due to race.

There was the racial comment that never was during the stupid march to sign the Obamacare bill.

There was Melissa Harris-Perry talking about how Obamacare was a word created by rich white guys to demean Obama because he's black.

Not to mention the many liberals (like Harry Reid and Chuck Shumer) that go around calling Tea Party members racist because they disagree with Obama.

Not to mention Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton cannot talk about conservatives without calling them racist or saying their disagreements have to do with Obama's skin color.

I can keep going ....
