The Right Scoop
It really is amazing what you learn about people when their President is a black man (half anyway). I used to like Colin Powell, seemed like a great American who served his Country proudly. Then when no one was looking BOOM! He turns into just another guy voting for Yomama, no matter how bad of a President he is or how much damage he does to our Country.
In short, he's racist.
Powell is a TRAITOR!!!! Have not heard "NOT A SOUND" from him about what happened in Lybia!!! MORE POND SCUM endorsing POND SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Powell is a damn RACIST!!! He isn't interested in our military or country! He wants to see this black man back to DESTROY US!!! Colin Powell you are a disgusting LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE!!!!!!!!!! GET OUT OF MY PARTY YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By supporting this muslim you show us you are UNAMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!
I use to respect Colin Powell, but he is nothing more than an old school racist like Morgan Freeman (whom I also use to respect).
God what a bunch of hateful racists. Your beloved Colin Power, a national icon, is suddenly a racist evil man. What is really evil is turning this country over to religious extremists, uneducated racists, and the easily manipulated who see 'socialist' 'communist', 'marxist' boogymen under ever rock.
Colin Powell stated publicly the only reason he voted for Barack Obama in 2008 was because Obama was black. Not because Obama was a competent politician or that Obama could potentially turn the economy around - which he hasn't been able to do by the way. No, no. Because he was "black." That in itself suggests racial overtones and 'reverse' racism is still racism. Colin Powell should know better. Not so though. Colin Powell once again decides to endorse Barack Obama for president. Colin Powell has made it abundantly clear he's not a Republican at all but simply a Democrat operative who has shamed his own Party.
Powell's reasoning lacks any logic or common sense. Barack Obama has single-handedly destroyed U.S. foreign policy both in the Middle East, North Africa and elsewhere around the world. The so-called "reset" with Russia by the Obama administration has given Russia many perks without asking anything in return. Poland was stabbed in the back by Barack Obama after the Obama administration "nixed" a missile defense system that would have assured Eastern Europe's safety and security from a rising nuclear Iran. Instead, Obama told Poland to go pound sand. Just like the Obama administration basically told Ambassador Chris Stevens after he had pleaded for increased security and resources at the consulate in Libya... but was denied each and every time by the Obama administration. Barack Obama has also severely strained ties with our ally Israel. Obama also went on a worldwide apology tour and he continues to "bow" to communist dictators and Marxist thugs like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. In fact, dictator's Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro have all endorsed Obama. Do you see the pattern here?
Barack Obama has been an empty suit president who has "divided" the country and has used "crony capitalism" to reward his union buddies with endless wads of taxpayer money. Barack Obama is spending America into oblivion and his idea of being presidential on the campaign trail has been reduced to calling Mitt Romney a "bullshitter" and Elmo (the Muppet) was somehow driving in a white Suburban (hence the reference to O.J. Simpson) heading down to Mexico because Mitt Romney wants to eliminate taxpayer funding to PBS.
Colin Powell stated one of the reasons he's supporting Obama again in 2012 was because Obama hasn't started a war since being in office. Say what? What about the Obama administration giving the order (without Congressional approval) to bomb Libya? The "war" in Libya started after Obama sided with the U.N. to institute a no-fly zone around Libya. Gaddafi is gone, but make no mistake, Barack Obama's direct action led to the bombing of Libya (with US supplied fighter Jets and ordnance) and when you bomb another nation it's called war.
Colin Powell also mentioned he had confidence in Obama's ability to turn the economy around. Say what? The Obama administration has single-handedly "strangled" the US economy through onerous regulations, higher taxes and increased DEBT. The economy was worse in September of this year than it was in August and August was worse than July. In other words, three months of stalled growth that is killing businesses and stifling the economy.
Barack Obama doesn't have a plan for America's future, other than spending taxpayer money until he bankrupts the country, and thus, would undoubtedly saddle our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren = with ENORMOUS DEBT that will place future generations of American citizens in "slavery" trying to pay down the HUMONGOUS DEBT that Barack Obama has accumulated in just four years. SIX TRILLION DOLLARS to be exact. More DEBT, I might add, than ALL previous administrations 'combined' from George Washington (yeah that George Washington) up until George Bush the elder. Barack Obama is taking America "over a cliff" and Republican Colin Powell couldn't be happier apparently. His endorsement of Barack Obama proves without a doubt Colin Powell is both reckless and illogical and he should quit the Republican Party ASAP!
The fact of the matter that by endorsing the failed policies of Barack Obama, Colin Powell's legacy has been sorely tarnished and he will likely be remembered as the man who voted race over the good of the country. His reputation has been sullied and the once brilliant General of Desert Storm has been reduced to racial demagoguery and illogical buffoonery in my opinion. To the same degree as his good buddy Louis Farrakhan I might add too.
colin powell is just another marxist plant, he used the republican party to get ahead in his chosen field then when the opportunity came he jumped ship and went right(sic) back to his true master, the democrats, the party of racism, jim crow and slavery.
How can he endorse this president and his lies about Benghazi. He says that We were in a depression with Bush and Obama has improved this????What??? This man lives in a bubble and is a disgrace to military persons.
Levin is right. I don't really see any reason why Powell is even in the Republican Party anymore. He never seems to mention what there is in the party that he supports, let alone is willing to campaign for. He really does need to find a new party to belong to.
I knew he was a traitor to his party the first time he endorsed Mr. Obama. It is no surprise that he would do it again. We don'tneed him.
I just love Mark Levin !! He really knows how to strip things down to the bone. Colin Powell has sold his soul and it is obvious (at least to me) that he is saying words that will benefit himself and his own marketability. What a sellout, not to mention a betrayer.
By the way, folks, it really isn't worth mentioning skin color at all here. It brings down the level of value to the discussion. I blocked the person spamming the thread with race-hustling accusations, but a lot of folks need to drop the race comments, too.
Powell is a lib. Anything else he may or may not be thinking is irrelevant.
While race shouldn't matter, we can't bury our heads in the sand and be politically correct. Race matters very much to them, we can't pretend it doesn't. And if racism isn't to be tolerated it shouldn't be from any race.
Fat matters, too, but it's pointless to tell people if they are fat, no matter if it's the honest truth.
It's too obvious to bother bringing up race in every discussion. That's why we don't need to bring up skin color here.
Powell is a big lib, that's all you need to know to realize his endorsement is crap.
Thank you!
And yep, Powell is a socialist, of the softly-softly kind. The kind who turns left as soon as they've reached the top, sitting on a nice, safe income, and looking down on the masses they so despise, while talking about 'helping' them.
Shanking My Head at things I've read here....I guess I'm really naive or just plain crazy I really thought race had nothing to do with this race,but I beg to differ the comments or really off the hook here....But I guess I have to understand that this is still America Ooops did I say that....Guess I did,We still somehow some way goes back to alot of people to a time way back when an Black person was only good Enuff to only shine your shoes,plow your field ,wash your clothes,and all the other stuff that some of you felt was beneath you...Well wake up,those days have gone ( Black Men r now an an Whole Man ) Not that Less then an Man crap that Jim Crow led some of you to believe .....You know I would Love for the American People to Vote for an Better American but I know that's impossible Mainly because some wont put 100's of years behind us....God Knows I Wish We Would..God Bless Us No matter who wins....
Race is immaterial. Nobody shined my shoes. Nobody shined my dad's shoes. Most folks never owned slaves, but over a hundred years ago, more than 800,000 men died here to show the world that slavery will not be tolerated.
Eight Hundred Thousand.
Our Constitution is about individual liberty. That's why great black men like Congressman Allen West and great black women like Mayor Mia Love are our heroes, just as much as people like Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin.
The only minority that matters is the individual. Period.
Anyone selling this race garbage is stuck in the 1960's.
Yes. I don't even think most of the leftists who throw the word "racism" around have any idea what they are talking about.
It is not the conservatives that are keeping the race issue alive. It is used as a retort to any comments made by conservatives whether they are racial or not.
Powell can support whomever he wants, but he is living in fantasyland if he thinks things are good right now.
The trolls can be entertaining...LOL! Candi Cane is an example of Obama's racial division platform. If Romney wins the election, the liberals will be screaming racism, not the fact that Obama has failed as president with his disasterous policies. This has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. Many of us would enthusiastically support Allen West if he were running for president.
Liberals have nothing so they have to play the race card and anything else that divides America.
If Colin Powell goes, please make sure he takes all the RINO's with him. It would be greatly appreciated and helpful in correcting the direction of our country!
he was never a Conservative Mark, he worked for President Bush, But once he was out from under the President the true colors come out!
Agreed 100%, Powell is a hack & he should switch parties. Also, voting for the second time for the radical marxist of BHO tells me that Colin Powell is another marxist and also tells me that he has a ship on his shoulder about America, in other words, he is also anti-American.
why are you still talking about color. you are not any better so stop thinking you are. stop being so full of hate because you do not like you own life. you do not know every other black person so how would you like it if I said romney is like every other white in America which is not true because I had white women come to my door in my neighborhood in support of President Obama. So get over color!
I did not say "Powell is like every other Black(or almost)", that was said by another commenter whose comment has since been removed. I simply responded with the statistics I've seen which show approimately 90% of black Americans still support Obama.. If you are not one of them then, good for you. I agree that many whites support Obama. If 90% of whites only voted for whites, Obama never would have gotten elected. Neither would Allen West. I did not mean to imply all blacks vote in this way, just a large percent. I'm sorry if my comments upset you. I truely am.
I was talking about skin color because I was responding to a commenter who made the
comment you were refering too. Again, I'm sorry your upset. That wasn't my intention, but why are you talking about skin color? Does the fact that you are and that you're obviously angry mean that you don't like your own life?
I'm sorry the wrath of politically correct cultural Marxism was thrown at you. It's statistically true most black people support Obama. It's not all of them and the ones who don't know it's true. Denying that would be lying for the sake of PC.
Herman Cain said many black people had been brainwashed and the cultural Marxists were saying he was racist!
It's also true that the likes of Al Sharpton hate whites. If we're against racism, people should condemn that just as much.
And the white people that do not support him only can talk about his color. All the white people that are going to vote for romney will do so based soley on the fact that he is white and you all can't stand to vote or see a black man in power. We support what is right not what is black. HELLO! He is not the 1st black person to run for office and it is plenty of times us black people vote for a white person over a black person because they are a better fit for the job not because of color. GET REAL!
I doubt very seriously if Powell was ever a Republican. He used his black status to work his way up in the party. Either that or he is voting for Obama b/c of race, which means he's a bigot....
When did Colin Powell ever leave the democrat party? He is pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, pro big government. Give me one view he shares with Republicans. And finally the only reason he says that is that he makes a bloody fortune on speaking circuit by corporations and conservative groups. NO MORE! I have been at one distinguished one years ago and he was rude to people wanting autographs and unfriendly to event sponsors. Huge undeserved ego.
That's interesting about him being rude and unfriendly to the commoners. Somehow it doesn't surprise me.
I call him Colon Powell...He lost all respect I had for him the first time he endorsed Obama.
Colin Powell used to espouse the values of hard work and a chance to excell in the free-market and now he endorses the Communistic Muslim theology? WTF?
Seriously. General Colin Powell . An intelligent commanding man of seeming insight and discernment . His vote for Obama in 2008 , {understandable with hope and promise of a greater nation.}, but now seeing the failure after four years of promise , a diminished economy, betrayal, disdain and little hope , looking to a long recovery in the future, for Powell to actually endorse Obama again (with a mention of gusto for Biden ) is I can only interpret as insanity. For Any human being to NOW say they will vote Obama to a second term must be minus a few brain cells. How far down does this President have to take America, for people to say. No MORE !!!!
Be a leader not a follower. How do you get out of debt? What would you do that is better?
It worries me that anyone would need to ask such a question. It's as silly as asking if you should get out of the house if it's on fire.
