Our FRiends weigh in on Colin Powell...
POWELL IS DESPICABLE!! He owes EVERYTHING to Republicans, but BLACKNESS is the ONLY thing that matters!!!

POWELL JUST REINFORCED EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, WE ALWAYS SAID WHY HE WAS A LOSER, PHONY REPUBLICAN!

Well at least he’s not a racist /sarc Os it all about skin color with these people?

A traitor. I have lost all respect for this sell out. I’ll be interested to hear why he is endorsing a candidate that wants to end a war, he played a crucial war in starting.

I hate to say it, but it would seem race has played a crucial role in this.

Yes its based on race. Whats next..Condi..? I have no idea how a Republican could endorse the biggest liberal in the Senate. gross.

6. Pisst-Off that they no longer
have their token military blackman to use any longer. Powell always first served a Commander in Chief duty to the death and they, the *bush/GOP, use that to their advantage. Payback is a bitch.

7. Predictable.
If Powell were to actually see any of this, I'm sure it would only reinforce his decision.

I thought Powell would stay neutral. I agree with another poster - he’s trying to burnish his still declining legacy. But I didn’t think he would be quite this
un-american/condoning socialist. A true friend of the ragheads.

Powell, an affirmative action benefactor, is a wus. Remember Gulf War One, when we were kicking Iraq @$$, Powell got cold feet and counciled Bush 1 to stop the operation. We could have won quick and easy at the time, but we let Hussein off the hook. Powell is supporting Obama for one reason...blackness. This is akin to a Black South African takeover and Obama is planting the seeds for revoultion.

It doesn’t matter that Powell endorses BHO. The average black would be voting for BHO anyway, w/o Powell’s endorsement. I suspect the average black barely knows who Powell is, or what he has done. Go ahead, ask a few.

Liberal whites will be voting for BHO anyway, and those of us who want to save the United States from socialism will vote for McCain.

This doesn't surprise me at all, I never trusted this guy anyway. It's all about the skin color with most black people. I guess they can't look at Africa and see what happens when blacks are in charge of their own country. there..... I said it..... I have wanted to for a long time.

I stopped having any concern for Africa a long time ago. remember when the Huttoos where chopping up the poor Tutsies with their long knives? I felt so sorry for the poor little Tutsies, but then they got the upper hand and they started chopping up the Huttoos.

I know I spelled their names wrong I just don't care enough to find the correct spellings. Good bye Africa.

De’hood sticks together, big ears and all.

But then the job offer was probably pretty good.

It's highly unfashionable to say this, but I think it's high time whites in this country got beyond the white guilt syndrome that has replaced open racism.

Negro slavery sucked, but white America fought a bloody war in which over a million whites died which was at least partly about the future of Negro slavery and which resulted in the ending of that slavery. That should be the end of the story.

It's as if elite Americans need something to feel as guilty about as two or three generations of Germans were expected to feel about the Nazi regime, WWII and the partially successful extermination of the German jews.

13. "A good black man"? "The average black barely knows who powell is"??
My god I hate freepers. This is exactly a reason why Powell is condemning that party. As a black man, I honestly cannot understand why anyone of color would be proudly associated with a party of such bold bigots.

16. How about: "...partially successful extermination of the German jews."
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 11:52 AM by onager
That one made my jaw drop. Though nothing uttered over there at Gooberville should surprise me, I guess.

Here's some irony, since these idiots are also attacking "ragheads."

I spent 2 years working in Saudi Arabia. Even from well-educated Saudis who had gone to school in the U.S., you would often hear opinions like: "Hitler should have finished the job."

So the FReeps and their friends in Saudi Arabia at least agree on the anti-Semitism. (Technically, of course, bashing Arabs is also "anti-Semitic.")

I've been in Egypt 3 years now, and have to say I've heard very little hatred for the Jews as Jews, at least from the Egyptians I know. I've heard the Holocaust condemned in the strongest terms. I've heard Egyptians say the world should have never let that happen, and should make sure it never happens again to anyone.

Having said that, their opinion of Israel is almost universally negative.

There is a small ray of hope on that front, with the NGO that has young Israelis, Palestininans and other Arabs working together. Last month I went on vacation and a nice Egyptian family was on the flight with me. Their son is working in that program.

Gee, it's almost as if that Talking Point is false and Obama isn't the most liberal Senator.
