and the Spoiled Rice Stupid had in his administration.

However, chances are better that they're going after her simply because she's black, female, and a Democrat and they hate all three. It's nothing to do with her competence and certainly nothing to do with the Benghazi attack. It's just more racist, sexist, anti Democratic bullshit from a bunch of spoiled children.

and sense that they may be able to force Obama to pick anyone else. If they succeed they'll say it is an admission that they were right about Benghazi.

Republicans are just a bunch of jerks.

It's been a while since these savages have gotten a "scalp". They're stinging from having their asses kicked and are trying to show the "colored fella" whose really boss. Pretty sad display...

A lost election, an exposed republican general and their racism all mixed with a need to be relevant.

I curse God every day because I wasn't born black in America. Because the black citizens of America just have it so fucking good!

harping and harping on it ... they'll move on to other areas as they rebuild their base of hatred for the black man in office that stole their right to the presidency.

Sometimes the level of dissatisfaction and powerlessness creates its own meaning and these things take on a life of their own.

It's the 'cool factor' applied to politics. Suddenly, if you're a white, male Republican, it's 'cool' to dump on Rice.

I don't see any overarching theme behind their attacks. Just a bunch of sad, has-beens trying to stay relevant.

They are starting as strong (and nasty) as they can to not cede any ground. They will put up fights on every nominee. This being the first, they will try to set a bar and try to seem relevant.
