and how soon until they try to destroy her?Let's all hope she is also one tough cookie!
That campaign has already begun. The Belafonte stuff didn't happen by accident. These things never do.
I strongly suspect that Rice already knows that she is the subject of an agitprop campaign. I also believe, as I am certain she does, that Hillary is behind it.
Rice is the only individual that would be a lead-pipe cinch to not only beat Hillary, but beat her into the ground by coring out her base: the black vote. Hillary knows this. Rice knows this. Rice also knows that Hillary wants to destroy her before Rice is too strong to be destroyed.
Rice is making shrewd use of the black media to get past the Washington media, beholden as it is to the Clintons and the Democratic Party. This set of interviews she did was a wise move on her part.
If black columnists have personal experience with Rice, they are far less likely to buy into the "race traitor" line being peddled by the black stooges for the Democratic Party leadership class.
Be Seeing You,

The only question is will there be an increase in African American votes for the GOP and will it offset a decrease in Archie bunker type votes for the GOP? No I'm not saying the GOP is comprised of rascists and I have yet to encounter one on Free Republic.That being said, we must be realistic. A small percentage of white males that vote Republican may be turned off by a black female President.
What more can you expect of weak Democrats. We can thank Carter for not doing anything about Iran when the Ayatolla Khomeni ran off the Shah and took over the American Embassy for 1/2 year. Since then we've had nothing but suicides in the middle east and the Islamofacists came to power. Then the next Demoncrat Clintoon did nothing but keep his brains between his legs while more Ayatollas bombed our soldiers, ships, embassies, etc... while continuously keeping his brains between his legs. Julie.... the Democrats are weak d..ks when it comes to foreign policy. Never, ever trust national security to a Demoncrat.
While I agree that they have both done a tremendous job in the areas you are referring to, Ms. Rice falls short in that she doesn't defend that same life and liberty for the weakest and most helpless Americans of all; the unborn.
It's too bad. She coulda been a contender!
She, like all of us, must reserve the right to come to her senses, through diligent searching of the Scriptures.
Dum Spiro, Spero.
When and if she does, come talk to me; I will seriously consider giving her my support for elected office.
I'm praying to that end, anyway. The Bible is clear on the subject, I think. God can work in spite of His stubborn and blind children. I think that this idea expressed by Cal Thomas has a lot of merit and bypasses the "make abortion illegal" argument that is not working:
"On the upcoming 30th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade in January, the president can push for legislation that would fully inform women about the abortion procedure more than 40 million have chosen since 1973. Citing truth in labeling and truth in lending laws, the president could say that women faced with problem pregnancies deserve as much information as possible before deciding whether to have an abortion or give birth. Medical technology is now available that did not exist 30 years ago. Early data have shown that women who see a sonogram of their own baby (of the type beautifully depicted in the current Time magazine) overwhelmingly choose life for their child. Rather than 'restricting a woman's right to choose,' a law requiring women to receive more information is positive and likely to gain political favor. Pro-choicers would have difficulty opposing such a proposal unless they wish to be called censors."
