An article appearing this week in the Palestinian Authority newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, criticizes US National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as "the dark- complexioned lady" whose policies have "dealt a blow to the image of the African-American in the eyes of the vast majority of the world's inhabitants."
Itamar Marcus, director of the Israeli Palestinian Media Watch, quotes the article published on Sunday as saying:
"My enthusiasm for George Bush increased after he entered the White House and chose to appoint to his administration two people from among the colored, a first in the history of American administrations: Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
"We said then, both in private and in public, that these colored senior officials are a part of the Third World, even if only due to the color of their skin," Dr. Abd Al-Aziz Al-Maqaleh writes in the Arabic-language daily, according to Marcus' translation, which he released on Thursday.
"But what happened after that was embarrassing and astonishing, especially what happened with the dark-complexioned lady, or, more accurately: black, the National Security Advisor," the article continues.
"What compounds the astonishment is that the Black Lady always makes a point, whether the opportunity presents itself or not, of denouncing the Palestinians to the point where her positions and statements have come to be nearly daily lessons to the American people and the world, causing regret to every Arab who was optimistic about her arrival on the political scene."
According to Marcus, the writer goes on to call Rice a "pitiful woman who has dealt a blow to the image of the African-American in the eyes of the vast majority of the world's inhabitants."
Marcus, writing for Independent Media Review Analysis, another Israeli group that monitors the Arab press, comments that "PA verbal attacks on the United States are returning to the frequency and style common before September 11, including personal insults and demonizing of the US."
These latest slurs against Rice indicate that "the PA has now returned to its previous open expression of anathema toward the United States, presenting the US to its people as an enemy of Arabs and of Islam," Marcus adds.
Fortunately, I suspect that Ms. Rice feels the same way.
Weak, dude.
Sorry that our Superstar Dr. Condoleeza Rice thinks that the Palestinians don't think for themselves but rely on propaganda cheatsheets from the mullahs.
Try again.
Let's see what the leftists say now about their friends, the Arabs now.
I am sure that they won't say anything, of course because they hate Condi too. It is ok to be a racist, if you are being racist against a conservative.
Oh, and where are the NOW gals? No word from them? ...I didn't think so...
I don't think I can take it anymore. Ok, here it is: any Arab who supports this kind of trash, name the time and the place and I will give you a beatin' like you have never had before. I am here to defend a lady's honor, but I have a feeling that if you ever showed your punk a$$ face, she would knock your damn block off too.
Mmmpphhh! Must - refrain - from - commenting - on - Arafat's - ugly - mug! (stuffing sock into mouth)
Actually, it is technically correct and it is coming from "dark-complexioned" people -- so how it is a "slur" is not clear to me. They were hoping for some skin-color based philosophy, which is indeed racist, but that hardly slurs Condi, especially since she wasn't buying it.
Frankly she comes off smelling like a rose in this article.
The fact that she is second generation Republican because the Democratic Party wouldn't allow her father to register and vote should be a lesson to every American.
Condoleeza Rice is smart, thoughtful, hard-working, caring, tough and a leader. I hope she runs for president. Hillary, watch out!
“We all collectively dumped in our burlap trousers when the son-of-the-father stole the election in 2000.
We all beat our wives non-stop for 11 months... until the glory of 9/11!
Who are these coloreds that Bush has for advisors? They should be ashamed of their darkness! They dress like the pink heathens, they speak perfect english and don't hate Jews!
This “dark complected” female destroys the image of the violent, colored urban guerilla. She must be spoken to by our colored, muslim stooges!

I’d say the concept that, due to her skin color, her loyalties somehow would lie with the third world (like all African-Americans per the writer) and not America qualifies as a slur.
