Wait a second. The Dems are wetting theirselves this morning because the Uncle Tom War Monger that the Bush clan created is voting for The Lord Most Merciful Obama?
This is also the same man who made the case in the UN for the continued war against Iraq; the man who might have run for president as a Republican in 1995 against Clinton; the man who the
Democrats socialists and the main stream media vilified for making the case for disarming Iraq; the man who Harry Belafonte referred to as Bush's "house-n[egro]" (I self-moderated that quote); they all now love and praise the guy for his blessing of The Obama.
I don't know about the rest of yall but it appears that JohnDeere and I both find this particular CHANGE in attitude to be
the definition of irony.
And, further, like Rush Limbaugh and Juan Williams (NPR and FoxNews), who both pointed out this decision by Colin Powell was all about race; I think that it was about race. (Rush is still looking for all of the inexperienced, white, liberal, politicians that Colin Powell has ever endorsed...he'll be looking for a long time...here's what he wrote about this on Sunday):
Limbaugh: Where are the inexperienced, white liberals Powell has endorsed?
Rush Limbaugh said Colin Powell's decision to get behind Barack Obama appeared to be very much tied to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president.
"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race," Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail. "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."
As for Powell's statement of concern this morning about the sort of Supreme Court justices a President McCain might appoint, Limbaugh wrote: "I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making him a four-star [general] and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures."
