Cartoonist calls Condi Rice 'murderer' ...again
(Paul Sperry, WorldNetDaily.com, January 27, 2004)
Aaron McGruder, a black syndicated cartoonist who's getting his own prime-time TV series on Fox, called National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice "a murderer" for her role in the Iraq war. . . . He made the remark as a guest on the nationally syndicated TV show "America's Black Forum," hosted by syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Juan Williams. . . . The creator of the popular "Boondocks" comic strip reportedly caused some discomfort at an anniversary dinner for the Nation magazine here last month when he told the mostly anti-war audience, "I've met Condoleezza Rice and called her a murderer to her face." . . . The low-key McGruder, 29, asserted that he has a right to his opinion. . . . "She's a murderer because I believe she's a murderer," he said coolly. . . . Late last year, McGruder made Rice's love life the topic of his comic. . . . "Maybe if there was a man in the world who Condoleezza truly loved, she wouldn't be so hell-bent to destroy it," one of his "Boondocks" characters speculates in a strip. . . . The Washington Post pulled the series on Rice, which ran some five days. The Cincinnati Enquirer dropped the strip altogether. . . . McGruder, who graduated from the University of Maryland with an African-American studies degree, has written a best-selling coffee-table collection of his strips called "A Right to be Hostile." . . . He's reportedly developing with Sony a prime-time animated series based on "Boondocks" for Fox. It's slated for the fall.
