Because she refused to testify under oath about 911 and lied that they couldn't envision planes being used as bombs. CNN reported in 2000 that the US requested anti-aircraft artillery around the entire island of Genoa for the G8 meeting fearing planes being used as kamikaze weapons to kill leaders. I remember hearing the report myself but it is conveniently scrubbed from the collective memory due to lying criminals like Condi Rice. Horrid indeed.

to warn him not to get on the flight he was supposed to board to get to ny. i heard willie brown make this statement on the radio the day after 9/11.

I heard he got a warning call but I didn't know it was from Condi!! This is a bombshell. How could she not have been pressed relentlessly about this and how do the lemming apologists not go after her for lying to Congress. They KNEW. It's not that hard to fathom.

I see no evidence Condi provided the warning

after everything that has happened - but, i do remember what i heard and i stand by my statement.

I hold her personally responsible for those 3000 death. Where the hell are all the hypocrite conservatives who whine that 4 people got killed in Benghazi? These racist twits just hate Obama. They are barely even real Americans. They should've put Condi, Bush and Cheney in jail for life. They still can.

Well done. Thank you.

the people in the audience shouting at this brave person are pretty disgusting themselves. Future lawyers huh? Well it figures. Most sell their souls for money, power and status everyday. Not all mind you, but most. Bravo to this woman who spoke up against dr.Rice.! Bravo!

the woman referenced that this speech venue was an audience of future lawyers. All the people shouting at this woman to "get the hell out", "shut the hell up", "get out", are, I presume, future lawyers and republicans. The video is a perfect example of what these future lawyers are going to be..... That's WTF! No sarcasm. The woman speaking up against dr. Rice is brave, the people shouting at her are not. Small d intended by me and not retracted.

edited post to hopefully avoid future confusion as to whom I am speaking against.

I would hazard a guess that I have known a few more lawyers than you. You probably think all blacks are lazy, Asians are bad drivers... Are there bad lawyers, sure. Are there bad doctors, plumbers, accountants, carpenters.... We are people too (contrary to what individuals like yourself believe)!
I despise Bush & Co., and do believe his inner circle should be tried for war crimes, including Rice, but don't go lumping "most" lawyers in that group, you don't know what you are talking about!

YOU DID, lawyer. Well as far as lawyers being people also, some are or some end up in Bushco. My personal experience with lawyers is negative. Lawyers are money grubbing snakes, for the most part, and will sell their soul for the right price.

all of the blacks... So you had some bad experiences with a few lawyers and so it's fair to equate them to most lawyers. I am here to tell you it is not fair. I am sorry that you had a bad experience, but that doesn't make it right to denigrate us all. For all you know, that brave woman who stood up and called Rice a War Criminal was a student at that law school. Knowing law students like I do, Rice's appearance had to be very controversial among the students, probably breaking along Party lines, just like the rest of America!

you are correct. I still like that woman that spoke up against dr. Rice. If she becomes a lawyer I have some faith she will have integrity. That she will be a firebrand for some humane cause. I shouldn't generalize. Going through a recent spate of court appearances concerning my now lost home of 20 years because of a spate of bad luck brought on by being forced to retire at reduced income and other exigencies, kind of left me with a jaundiced view of lawyers and bankers. I am sorry if I came off ignorant and if I offended you. You just might be a good person.

the big banks. I have been litigating almost exclusively against BP. First, for the March 23 2005 explosion at their plant in Texas City, Texas, and for the last 4 years since April 20 2010. I work hard for my clients and my heart goes out to them. It is hard to receive justice in America when a huge foreign corporation starts spreading their money and influence around. While I have run across my share of bad attorneys, I have also know a lot of them who volunteer and do a large amount of pro bono work. I really enjoy doing volunteer medications and representing police officers pro bono. I have seen my share of good and bad cops too, we are all human. I wish you better luck in the future!

and not one of those future lawyers defended the brave one. Not one.

...that none of the students applauded the protest.

IMO. It's now all about $$$ and smoking pot. Steve Jobs showed them the way, I suppose.

not allow the War Criminals, Condi being one of them, to go out in public without being reminded of their crimes and without informing others who may not know, what they have done.

I cannot believe she has the nerve to speak about Civil Rights, I guess that shows the depths of their depravity, the sheer gall they have which is I suppose what makes them what they are.

I will continue to hope that one day all of them will finally be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.

Just one question, did anyone ask her any questions?

The most hard hitting question she was asked was "What was your biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State and what is the one thing you would have done differently?" After she answered the question and there was no applause the moderator said "If I were in the audience I would be applauding right now." It was a pretty shameful site to behold, but not at all surprising. People like Condi never want to be asked the tough questions so they make sure the only people who are able to ask questions will throw softballs.

her fee, but just read it in the link someone provided here. I was glad to see that there were objections to her being invited, to speak about Civil Rights of all things.

I wonder if she's planning to try to run for office, VP maybe on the Repub ticket? Sad as it is to say, she would probably be supported by many on the right.

So thankful for people like you and your friends who won't let her or the public forget what they did. You truly deserve gratitude and huge kudos for going there.

I could see her getting picked too if the Republicans can get past having a pro-choice unmarried black woman on their ticket, she is very smooth and her speech tonight was the type of all American story that would sell well to a lot of voters. This is what makes Condi so dangerous, she is very smart and she knows how to manipulate people.

to get the minority vote and the women's vote so she would seem like a perfect choice to them. More so BECAUSE she was part of the Bush Administration. They would use here SOS creds against Hillary's eg, so yes, tragically she is very likely to end up as a candidate for VP. What a horrible thought. It shows how depraved this country has become.

What a horrible thought.

Governor Fallin for it first. There is no doubt that Fallin wishes to take her path of destruction up to the national level.

the right would be screaming 'racism.'

May I share your story and photo with my FB friends, many of whom have been arrested for singing or holding signs in our state Capitol? I know they'd appreciate it.

If your friends are at the Wisconsin Capitol I have driven out there several times to stand along side them, Wisconsin protesters kick ass.

Yes, we're still doing battle. In fact, we just found out that one of our first civil cases against the State can proceed. We still have about 300 open citations against singers/signers.

Let me know about any major events that are going on out there, I have to drive four and a half hours each way to Madison so I can't make it out as often as I would like but would certainly come out for something big.

are dismissing a few at a time - mostly based on the Crute case, which was dismissed on constitutional grounds. Therefore, the State is appealing the Crute decision. If that decision is overturned, then ALL of these cases will be back. So every week, several of our group have hearings and conferences, plodding through the process, while the judges try to figure out how to stop the insanity. It's at least 200, and I think still close to 300 cases still open.

On the plus side, we've just won a decision about discovery, so let the depositions of the Department of Administration roll! One of the Capitol Police officers was deposed last week, and more will be coming.

Some of the best protests I have been to have been in Madison, fighting against powerful interests often brings legal challenges but I am very grateful to all the people who fight for our rights and the people in Madison have been fighting the battle as well as anyone.

many were arrested for holding an 8 1/2 x 11" sign or staging other "protest" in the galleries of the Assembly or the Senate. One of my friends was removed from the gallery for putting a tiny post-it note on the bottom of her shoe when she had her legs crossed. OK, so we might have been testing the limits a bit at that time. I can't imagine what they would have done had we put on hoods.

I haven't seen anything about this in the press, have they been covering it?

Also, good luck to you and your friends, I hope the win every case and I hope it costs the morons who are behind this, especially if any of them are elected officials.

even though Matt Rothschild, of the Progressive, was one of the arrestees on "Constitutional Carry Day," which was my creation! It was the first day that Constitutional Carry of guns was legal in Wisconsin, so I suggested we have "Constitution Carry" in the galleries. The guys with guns were fine, and the guys with PICTURES of guns, or a copy of the Constitution, were arrested. Go figure!

The Cap Times has an occasional story, but other than that, we're pretty much on our own.

Damn near everyone should be able to see how absurd it is that carrying a real gun is legal but carrying a photo of a gun is a crime, that is a brilliant protest idea.

I really didn't mean to hijack your awesome thread.

I don't always like having my threads hijacked, but I am all for it in cases like yours in which you have great stories to tell.

From when The Voice Project asked if they could help to cover what is happening here... You know, the ones who work with Pussy Riot...

http://www.voiceproject.org/solidarity/

granted in the Constitution in this country which appear to be getting worse every day.

Maybe someone should contact the media and let them know when the cases are coming up?

Or write an OP here to keep us informed and who knows who might read it?

Sorry you are all going through this, but I admire you all for what you are doing ...

They have a hell of a time getting Walker out of office though. Twice Walker was elected Governor and heading towards a third time. I really wish the protesters would vote too.

The protesters organized the recall effort and they turned out to vote in large numbers, unfortunately the centrists did not vote for the recall in large enough numbers to remove Walker from office.

presence. mushroom cloud !

where was this ?

Very well done sir

I admire your courage and commitment, but I also have to give kudos to the event staff for not creating an ugly scene. I imagine such a statement won't fly everywhere, in spite of the 1st ammendment. I bet Cheney's people would have ordered you out.

Also kudos to you for not creating an unruly disturbance. Your civil restraint is commendable. You have a lot of class, probably more than I would have.

Good for you and thanx for posting!
K&R

Wow, 150K to hear that war criminal speak. All these lying psychopaths are crawling out of their holes to try to resurrect their reputations along with their accomplices in that liberal media. I will never ever forget what these evil people have done. Thank you for showing your disgust.

Peace

War Criminals do not deserve respect. Ever.

Isn't it funny how, in the United States today, speech isn't protected as speech, but money is protected as speech?

'Condoleezza Rice tells U crowd: 'We kept the nation safe'
http://www.startribune.com/local/255642321.html

I tried to post the specific photos but there's an asterisk in the file path and they won't load.

Well done, Bjorn. Thank you!

And the anthrax cases that followed.

Rice and her ilk really are sociopaths.

did she have anything to say that we can disprove?

She did tell at least a couple bald faced lies when she said the 9/11 hijackers were from Afghanistan and her claim that she opposed black sites was also untrue. Most of her speech was about civil rights however and there was really nothing objectionable in what she had to say about civil rights, it was just very ironic to hear someone responsible for so many civil rights violations act as if she actually cared about civil rights.

but the afhangi thing will do is suspect, any idea when can we get video?

It is possible they will put it on YouTube or something, I don't know. It was a very well delivered speech, she talked a lot about her family and her experience growing up as a black girl in the south. She did not even sound like a Republican through most of the speech and she certainly did not sound like a war criminal, but of course giving a good speech means nothing if you are responsible for all the death and destruction she is responsible for.

$150,000. She should be made a public laughing stock but manages to make this kind of money.

Wow.

What the fuck?

Will it work? It seems Jebby is running in 2016.

at all if half the country would be willing to vote for her, sadly. This is what happens when War Criminals are not prosecuted but rather lauded for their crimes against humanity.

Shameful that we live in a country that lectures the rest of the world on human rights, while war criminals here receive obscene amounts of money for lectures on Civil Rights of all things. It is an insult to every victim of her lies and collaboration in those crimes.

Thank you!

protesters reminding them of their crimes.

Bjorn, your courage and class at this event is truly laudable. Throughout her entire disgusting performance, take heart that she could clearly see you all. She may have outwardly come across as smooth, but I'm betting she was internally rattled by your presence.

Regarding these outrageous speaking fees, for every person who stands up and confronts the speechifier, let's deduct $10,000. Maybe then they'd all give up the circuit.

She is despicable. The very thought of her ensconced in privilege at Stanford chaps my hide every single day.

Excellent work, Bjorn Against.

That took real courage. Bravo!

well done

these people disgust me to the very core and I hope before I die I see justice done to them

people stay away?

Gotta hand it to you--no lack of fortitude, there! Definitely a Money Where Mouth Is moment!

I hope you're wrong about the office seeking, and that she was there just for the speech payday.

Tickets to the event were free, but you had to get the ticket in advance. I think many people got tickets and then did not show up, that picture was taken less than five minutes before the event began so the majority of those empty seats stayed empty.

Thank you, lots. You did a wonderful thing for all of us. Appreciate what you did.

so now Condi is a civil rights activist....???
and George Bush is an artist....???
what's next, Dick Cheney as Luke Skywalker?
Rumsfeld as Santa Claus?

DABELYOU BUSH IS A WAR HERO!!!!!!

What the hell are people thinking giving this bitch $150,000 to LIE her ass off to save George W., Rummy and the biggest murderer in our history--Dickless Cheney!! The entire Bush team should be in jail maybe at Gitmo!! Lying bastards!!

proud to see people to fight the good fight.

Deserved just to be tried and charge by the International Pénal Court for numerous indictments like:

Liars to invade Irak
Torture
War crimes
Crime against humanity
Élection fraud
Terrorizing american people and divide it.

K&R

Remind these monsters what campaigning will be like, and we will never forget.

Maybe they'll stay home.

of these right wing murderers/or facilitators of murder is getting untenable. How in the hell can she make money off of the murder of 100000+ people in a invasion/war based on lies? You are right, she is no civil rights leader or decent human being. She's disgusting and vile like the rest of that cabal.

to haters and war mongers. This is what she should face where ever she goes except Teabag rallies.

Thanks for your excellent and creative work.

Thank you for doing this. Thank you for reminding the people in the audience who they really came to see.

So it's no coincidence that CR sounded progressive only on matters of race.

I would be very distressed to learn that a public university would pay for something like that, especially for addressing such a small audience. This is American, after all. For that kind of money I'd expect some entertainment, maybe have her do the halftime show at a football game, wearing an American flag outfit, a ten gallon hat and maybe sing the National Anthem while twirling a baton.

Isn't she?

The criminals who justified torture must be pointed out at every turn.

THAT... Is the right thing to do.

I had rehearsed what I would say if it ever happened:
"How come you are not behind bars?"
"Ah, washing your hands trying to get rid of all the blood?"
"Oh, we wouldn't want the opposing sports team to end up being, let's say A MUSHROOM CLOUD! Eh?"

She was standing next to me, giggling in a cute way (definitely cultivating a "nice" image), I lost my nerve, I didn't say anything.
I did not have your courage Bjorn, so I am so glad that you did this!
Thank you! I am so grateful...

....she has never specifically made a point about anything. Her entire "shtick" is buzzwords and catchphrases. No material substance whatsoever - as shallow as they come.

Way to go!

...and reflection.

Thank you for taking a stand against this woman.

I applaud you and your friends!

I appreciate every effort to confront people like her with their legacy.

getting away with it. She cannot get a pass, no frickin way.

Not in terms of carrying the crimes out but laying down propaganda cover. She's a maestro at that.

K&R

Video of a bunch of people yelling or throwing things does nothing to further the cause and only makes the casual onlooker shake their head.
You were able to make a very clear point without resorting to crude tactics. LEt the right be the ones to show their ass.

Silent protesting can often be far more powerfull than protest within disrups and screams. I experienced it a few times.

thank you so very much for your courage. You are a true patriot.

a sociopath!
