Nathan Bedford Forrest was a founder of the Ku Klux Klan. So, since you're obviously a big fan of his, I'm not surprised that you'd have a problem with Condi possibly running for president
Thomas Jefferson, according to recent biographers, was given to truly hateful observations about African-Americans. Now that you know that, I am sure you will dismiss the whole of his life and contributions, and equally dismiss the opinions of anyone who has commented upon him favorably or cited the Declaration of Independence so that you can maintain your pristine righteousness
Oh, and don't forget to be suspicious of Abe Lincoln too because some of his thoughts were not always up to 21st century PC standards.
Forrest also sought to disband the Klan and largely succeeded, it was later revived long after his death. Jefferson never manumitted his slaves (apart from mistress and his children) but Lee did and Jackson taught "Negro" Sunday school. Who was more PC?
My objections to Rice were set out in comment # 20 and have nothing to do with race.
