Why is it that the radical left...

I really haven't heard anyone on the left (radical or moderate) opposed to General Powell's progression up to SecState. Personally I'd love to see him make President, but in this neck of the woods I get classified as a conservative.
The new SecState, Rice...I see what you're saying though you could benefit from toning down the message a little. Because she carries forth Bush or the GOP's policies, she's the "token" minority. You're right, in that case it's more about using minorities as a lever to gain power than it is about legitimately hearing their claims.

Umm... no matter what, whether the SoS is white, black, asian, pacific islander, the SoS will do the dirty work for Bush anyways.
Rice is a Cold War specialist on USSR. She is the equivalent of a dodo bird not just since 9/11, but since 1991. When the biggest threat was terrorism, she was still obsessing with Cold War era missile defense dreams. Now she is Secretary of State, the US top diplomat. What are her diplomatic skills, and where has exhibited those? What power of persuasion and credibility does she have in the world which largely thinks she helped start a war based on lies and disinformation.

What a Joke. Only Lemmings would be proud of Religious Radicalism taking over the Govt.
Are you admitting Bush is a member of the radical right?
(Not saying he is)
Anyway, radicalism isn't always wrong. It simply means you need to have a little bit more introspection time to think about whether you really need to push things that much. Most often though, is seems the radical on both sides aren't lemmings to anyone but themselves.

Oh that's BS. Every damned SecState in decades has been a Cold War specialist, that was the defining area of study of these people's lifetimes when it came to politics - and for good reason.
Under Clinton, Albright was a Russian and Central/Eastern Europe political expert. Christopher before her was a practising lawyer who dealt more with the Middle East but people barely remember the guy's name. Now Dr. Rice is easily the equal of Albright or Christopher in experience in the same fields, but she's a dodo bird? Okay, who could come up to bat that would be a better choice?
Let's get back on topic:
Why is it that the radical left...only supports the advancement of minorities when they do their ideological bidding?
If they don't the radical left trashes them.
It seems rather hypocritical to me.
It isn't really about caring for the welfare of minorities at all, is it?
