Comments on: Condi Plays the Victim Card [UPDATED] http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=7093 "The hobgoblin of little blogs." "A knack for taking the already disturbing and turning it into the abjectly ghastly." Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:34:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Bloodthirsty Liberal http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=7093#comment-40639 Bloodthirsty Liberal Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:41:25 +0000 http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=7093#comment-40639 Tony, We sort of agree on Condi, but not on much else. I certainly have no problem with her wishing more qualified minorities were represented in the State Department. I have some questions on how that should be accomplished and some real problems with her insinuations, but as a goal, I see nothing wrong with it. Actually, I see that your second paragraph makes the same point. So we're cool. But I'm troubled by your assertion that Governor Palin is less qualified than Senator Clinton. Palin has held elective office for eight years (six as mayor, two as governor), same as Senator Clinton. You may think their experiences are in no way comparable, and I may have to agree: Senator Clinton has no experience as an executive. You lose me completely after that. Obama is good for this country, if inexperienced? I'll agree, if you mean as Senator of Illinois. If you mean as President, I don't know how you come to that conclusion. BTL Tony,

She wants more people to be in the white house and involved in politics.... simply BECAUSE they are black? Doesn't this meet the very definition of racism? While I can applaud more representation of minorities and women in politics, elevating them to that status simple BECAUSE they are minority or women isn't good for this country at all. Take Sarah Palin for example. Extremely unqualified. Compare this to Hillary Clinton, extremely qualified. One is good for this country, one is not. Can you guess? Obama is good for this country, even if a bit unexperienced (maybe in 4 years). This isn't because of their race, or sex. Just because you don't see "people that look like you" doesn't mean you are alone. You aren't a victim, stop acting like one. This is an atrocious statement and attitude.

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:22:35 +0000 http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=7093#comment-40635 I agree with MIchaelene, I hope that she hires the qualified individuals for the correct positions within the state. I work in Corporate America and all I hear is how we have to be diverse and we need a certain percentage of this heritage and female vs. male. Who cares what heritage they are from or what sex they are, we need to most qualified person for the job. I feel like most people who are voting for Obama, are only voting for him because he will be the "first black president"; most of them are not voting for his views - they are voting because he is black.

Her statements regarding Palestinians are disgraceful and in no way relate to Jim Crow. I'm so tired of focusing on the past when it is the future we should be working for. Is she not proud of her country like Ms Obama? I hope for her sake that she has hired a qualified African American staff so she can have more of her own people with her daily.
