As Twitchy reported, Susan Rice has apparently withdrawn her name from consideration for Secretary of State. Despite the litany of legitimate reasons Republicans and conservatives had to oppose her nomination, lefty pearl-clutchers are seizing on sexism and racism as the cause for her withdrawal:
Disappointed Amb. Rice, such a well qualified woman of color, would be denied a fair shot @ Sec State based on unfounded political attacks.

The boys network is alive and well. The war on qualified women continues here in Washington, DC. I am not going to stand down.

Looks like the intersection of racism and sexism to me. #Rice.

There is a major theme in the attacks against Rice, the President, and holder.#Racism

Dr #Rice Will Keep her Present Position But will not accept nomination/Secretary of State because of Harassment (Sexism & Racism). #Bullying

I feel bad for America that 2 racist white congressmen can vilify an accomplished public servant, Susan Rice, & stampede the public process

We think we’re fed up with identity politics.
Crushed that Rice & Obama Admin bowing to sexism & racism-tinged baseless attacks on Rice

Bunch of (mostly white) intel officials produce talking points 4 (mostly white) members of Cong, which Susan Rice repeats & gets attacked?

You piece of SHIT your not qualified to take out Amb.Rice trash she's smarter than you Racist Pig. I curse you, family & your Party Your Sad
— Thomas Pierce (@keshenawarrior) December 13, 2012
Unbelievable. Is it so beyond liberal comprehension that Rice buckled because of her enormous baggage and shameful conduct with regard to Benghazi, or that she is falling on her sword for The One? If these race-mongerers would stop foaming at the mouth long enough to take off their gender and race goggles and have a look at reality, they might realize just how asinine their outrage truly is.
Perhaps ask about Condi & Colin P RT @BuzzFeedAndrew: Michael Eric Dyson saying on MSNBC that opposition to Susan Rice was because of racism

Im not joining the chorus of folks calling the crash & burn of the Rice nomination racism/sexism. Political games to the max? Absolutely.

Witch hunt, my eye! #Rice knew she was grossly incompetent, so she bowed out. Please, liberals, call us racist! #tcot

Liberals: Blacks can be scrutinized because of their RECORD, not skin color. I know it's hard for you to grasp, but you'll get it eventually

That is genuine colorblindness. Accountability is empowering. And until the Left figures that out, we’d better get used to identity politics.
