You said we need to focus on winning the election rather than criticizing Powell. I said I do not see the connection.
How is criticism of Powell being "spun as a negative for our team." I don't see any connection there, either. Obama didn't endorse Powell. If that were the case, then what you are saying could make sense, since it would be Obama, possibly, who would be the one criticized. But Powell endorsed Obama, and it is Powell who is being criticized, not Obama, not "our team," and not the value of the endorsement necessarily.
If Limbaugh endorsed Obama, would we then be required to refrain from criticism of Limbaugh lest we be accused of spinning negatively for our team?
I don't see how endorsing Obama makes a person immune from criticism, nor why anyone doing the criticism would be accused, in essence, of disloyalty. That makes no sense to me.
