More MSM attacks on Condi Rice

In a sad but telling coincidence, on the day of the death of Rosa Parks, the reactionary leftists of the MSM have filed another set of talking points against the woman best positioned to be the first black female president.
Eugene Robinson's insulting broadside against Condoleezza Rice is simply dazzling in the scope of its condescension. Apparently because Dr. Rice was raised by two loving parents, and she has conducted her professional affairs with skill and loyalty, she's incapable of relating to black America.
And this is all traceable back to the simplistic "bubble" that she lived inside as a child. While the world was going to hell around her ...,
Inside the bubble, Rice was sitting at the piano in pretty dresses to play Bach fugues. It sounds like a wonderful childhood, but one that left her able to see the impact that race has in America -- able to examine it and analyze it -- but not to feel it.
Could it be any clearer that there's no one the Entrenched Left fears more than Condoleeza Rice? They can't attack her competence, and there's no personal scandal to take her down with. So the meme to try and keep her out of electoral politics is that she's a soulless, heartless robot, too far removed from her own blackness to be of use to anybody but her white masters.
I would have thought I'd lost my capacity to be disgusted by this kind of thing, given the persistent pounding people like Clarence Thomas have taken over the years, or the more overt racism seen in Tom Oliphant's big-lipped magpie cartoons of Dr. Rice. But Robinson's column is among the first of what I fear will be a procession of more subtle attacks on this impressive woman. I hope that once again, the blogosphere and other alternative media can resist this would-be meme-a-forming, and call out the Gene Robinsons of the world who are carrying Bull Connors' water even today.
Seems we are both posting diaries on the same topic.
"But Robinson's column is among the first of what I fear will be a procession of more subtle attacks on this impressive woman."
I certainly suspect this is the case. This could backfire on them, however. I suspect avoiding this kind of hellstorm is part of her reason for choosing not to run. If she's going to have to endure that hellstorm anyway ....
