Where did the meme that Condi Rice is a "Reasonable Republican" come from?

[tavalon]

If it was AP, I can understand the error - they really are too ignorant to understand the difference between a "Reasonable Republican" and a War Criminal.

But if it was someone here or in the left blogosphere, I'd like to know the rationale?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. I dunno

I don't think I would ever anticipated anybody here on the left calling her a "reasonable Republican"? O.k. well, I guess she's not a "teabagger"- I'll give her THAT. However, she was a willing and eager (though incompetent) accomplice to all of the criminality associated with Bushco's foreign policy during the previous (mis-)administration, which is bad enough for me. :puke:

[tavalon]

3. Right

I might be willing to call her a reasonable republican (actually, here, I'm lying) if she was behind bars at the Hague. Barring that, she will always remain, to me, one of the unprosecuted War Criminals that shame our country on a daily basis by continuing to evade justice.

I just started seeing this meme in about three areas of DU at once and I wondered where it originated?

2. Obama met with Condi so now she is given the seal of approval by a handful of faithful DUers

I find it beyond sickening. :puke:

[tavalon]

4. Why would he do that?

12. i think that is exactly it. obama loyalists who will defend his actions

regardless of the action, to no end.
i would guess if obama sat down with the fuckhead ex-resident of the white house suddenly pResident fuckhead wouldn't be such a bad guy according to the loyalists.

it *is* sickening.

6. Straight out of my ass. n/t

7. Reasonable Republican?

The woman is a nitwit.

[Quantess]

8. She is intelligent and well educated

which may fool some people into thinking she's "reasonable".

[jmondine]

14. So is Karl Rove

[Greybnk48]

27. No he's not, unless you find his high school diploma

particularly impressive. Rove is wiley, but not intelligent nor well educated.

[Greybnk48]

28. She's a war criminal and a pathological liar.

She writes a fucking book that is probably another pack of lies and suddenly the blood on her hands is gone!! I think not.

[aquart]

9. Not from me.

[unpossibles]

10. sadly these days, she IS what passes for a "reasonable Republican"

which is even scarier.

[bleever]

11. Reasonableness is a crucial characteristic for any war criminal

looking to move forward.

The fact that the standard for "reasonableness" has been hopelessly crippled by the hell she helped unleashed should not be, at any point in human history, allowed to work in her favor.

[fishwax]

13. i haven't heard that one

[jmondine]

15. Condi Rice is an oxymoron?

[Swamp Rat]

16. Condi is very reasonable

for a blood thirsty alien lizard.

[laughingliberal]

17. Just another step in the march to the right. nt

[readmoreoften]

18. I love how the Democrats have made the the Bush Admin the new "center" through all their apologizing

for them. Now the Tea Party are the "bad guys" and monsters like Rice--from an administration that this website was founded to fight--are suddenly not so bad.

Fucking moving disaster, that's what all this is.

[Lost4words]

25. + 1 totally!! nt

[Solly Mack]

19. It's for damn sure it didn't come from me.

[readmoreoften]

21. All those deletes in the thread? They're mine. I couldn't contain myself.

I would've vomited on my keyboard if I didn't transform my feelings about the Apologizers into lyrical flights of obscenity.

20. Cheney's next to be redeemed in 3....2....1...

Can't wait until Obama has lunch to get advice from Cheney. Limber up, Loyalists!

[readmoreoften]

22. Next up? Obama should meet with Rove to get campaign advice!

The Loyalists probably think that'd be AWESOME!

[Loudmxr]

23. Because we are a nation, not of laws, but of policy.

I had a chance to think about this over vacation.

In brief this is why the Bush/Cheney people will never go to jail because they broke the law. They followed policy which is more important to the functioning of government than "laws" will ever be. The policy makers and policy followers are above the laws the rest of us have to abide by. They are a special class and cannot be touched. Because unlike the law policy is fungible while the law is not.

In many ways the Bush policies must continue. That is just the way things are.

I am not happy with that but ......policy trumps law and morality.

24. Unscrupulous Democrats who sympathize with what she did.

Don't forget that the Bush Administration didn't go to war alone. It had plenty of support for Democrats. Not every Democrat was out in the streets and not every Democrat was outraged.
