In reply to the discussion: Rep. Clyburn: Republicans Using ‘Code Words’ To Attack Ambassador Rice [View all]you're right. Ms. Rice, intelllectually, is light years from Judge Thomas. To be called 'not bright' by a white man of Mccains stature is definitely a racist and in her case sexist insult also. Thomas being selected for the SCOTUS was one of BUSH THE SENIORS more cynical appointments, seeing as Thurgood Marshall had passed and I saw him as one of the progressive beacons on the court. Bush the senior knew exactly what he was doing when he nominated this uncle tom clown. Flawed.

Apparently, you are. BTW, Rachel Maddow called McCain incompetent the other day.

Sorry, I'm just tired of seeing any criticism of someone who's not a white male being dismissed

I'm denying that Graham, McCain, et al. are going after Rice because she's AA and female.

I disagree with them but I don't view the word "incompetent" as a racist code word, Bush
