I wonder whether
this will finally convince Nick not to read the Boondocks? (Via

Aaron McGruder, whose cartoon strip "The Boondocks" is known for its attacks on Republicans, went on the syndicated television show "America's Black Forum" this past week and denounced National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as a killer.
"I don't like Condoleezza Rice because she's a murderer," Mr. McGruder said, adding, "We can discuss this illegal Iraq war, the slaughtering of innocent people, and because she's one of the big hawks in this administration, I do not even see why this is a point of contention."
Syndicated columnist Armstrong Williams reacted angrily.
"You called the national security adviser a murderer, and I don't think you really meant that," Mr. Williams said. "I think you should be very careful being in the position that you're in making that kind of allegation on a national television show."
Mr. McGruder replied, "I'm not saying she's not doing her job well. I think it's the job of these people to go into Third World countries and kill people in large numbers to put forth whatever the agenda is of the administration." (Emphasis added)
UPDATE:
NAACP Chairman Julian Bond agrees with McGruder. Hopefully this will wake some people up to the fact that the NAACp is no longer a civil rights organization. And this Newsmax story goes into more detail than the Washington Times item by including this charming bit from McGruder:
"I don't like her because she's a murderer," the cartoonist announced.
The charged drew immediate condemnation from Armstrong Williams, who complained, "That is totally out of line to say she's a murderer."
Unfazed, McGruder repeated the accusation, stretching out his words, "S-h-e'-s a m-u-r-d-e-r-e-r."
"Let's put aside the fact that she's affiliated with oil companies that murder people in Nigeria," the cartoonist said. "We can discuss just this illegal Iraq war, the slaughtering of innocent people and the fact that she's one of the big hawks of the administration.
