Interesting reflections on life growing up in the 1960's as a young black female. Fast forward 50 years and everything has changed.
This video is 44 plus minutes. What point do you want to discuss and at what minute mark is the topic in the video?

Never has been a bit of evidence showing that there was any lying going on. That's simply another example of the liberal "say something often enough and loud enough and eventually it will catch on" philosophy along with Republicans being racists who hate poor people, there being a war on women, etc.

On this, I agree 100%.

Blind support for an idiot surrounded by thugs . . . OK, technically I guess it wasn't lying.

It was achievement.

Mission Accomplished, or something.

She would do ANYTHING to achieve.

ANYTHING

She followed Colin Powell's example.

Why does she get higher ratings for her lies than Colin?
Huh? First of all, what is a 'social high achiever?' Are there anti-social high achievers? Social low achievers? Isn't anyone who reaches the level of Stanford prof(not to mention a senior WH post) by definition a high achiever?

More importantly, on what planet does being a high achiever constitute evidence of intent to deceive?

Hardest part for Condi is being an unthinking tape recorder for a bunch of old white guys who had their finger on her play button for 8 years.

I'm not sure she ever had an original thought of her own, everything out of her mouth was scripted. And most of that were lies.

Of course, it doesn't surprise me at all that you wouldn't believe a black person can think for themselves.

Where did I say that? This woman sold the WMD lie perhaps more than any of the neocons who hatched it. All I ever heard from this woman were blatant lies about Saddams WMD's, and then after we invaded Iraq she went around carrying water for Bush/Cheney/Rummy.

Did she ever express dissatisfaction, doubt, or diverge from their narrative? Not one time.

Instead, Republicans should diversify with other minority groups such as the growing number of Hispanics, Asians (East and Sub-Continent), Middle Easterners, and even Native Americans who are far more open minded.
Exactly right. The black vote is a waste of time. Conservatives will get the black votes worth getting. The ones that want to be pandered to and see racism in every non-Democrat can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.

High token used for giving credibility to incompetence as a cover for war crimes.

For all of the evil that has come from the Bush family, she can say, "And, I helped."

Shake 'n' Bake, silly mama.

This is what passes for intelligent discussion in Dem circles.
