Thread: Colin Powell Accuses GOP of being racist

He could have been great.
He could have been a contender...

He choose instead to be a bitter, race baiting, old man.

I agree with Rakk-

Just come out and say you've been enlightened and be done with it. You've become like a nagging old woman: Bush didn't agree with you! Time to put on your big boy pants and get over it.

Now I know Colin Powell was a great military leader and he feels burned by Bush over WMD's and the Iraq war. But this has become quite a spectacle when he always comes on TV and tries to distance himself and criticize the GOP. Why does he not just come out and say he is a democrat and he has seen the light especially since BHO became president... and is changing but this constant ignorant comments ( IMO ) is crazy.

Are there Racists in the GOP... YES are there racist in the DNC... YES!

Birthers with Obam = Truthers with Bush

Lazy with Obama = Stupid with Bush


And finally "shucking and jiving" = figure of speech

Is Jay Carney a racist?

Is Obama sycophant Chris Matthews a racist?

Rak, I think the answer is yes, they are racists about, but they are only racists we care about when our attention is directed to the conservative utterances by the media or by liberals.

Yes I know. It's not fair and it is hypocritical, but what can I say? Life isn't fair.

This is complete crap.

The GOP isn't racist.

The GOP doesn't hate black people.

The GOP hates conservatives, real, actual conservatives.

That's who they hate, not black people. Come on folks!

listening to the radio and a guy made a comment that made sense

Obama get's criticized by DEMS and the liberal elite media for not being diverse enough

Colin Powell goes on Obama's flag ship station NBC and says the right is racist....


Narrative changed... now we are talking about the right not the left Win Obama again

This has been what Obama Co and the main stream media has done for 4 years and it is why Obama is Teflon... when ever he is in trouble SPIN to the right and blame the R's and he get's off like usual

Sad.... Didnt see this with bush ....bush was the reason you got screwed at the drive thru .....

And there are how many blacks in your Australian Parliament, of any party?

No, the GOP isn't a racist party. There may be a scant few that are in it, but there are racists in the Dem party too. White racists. Racism is racism.

Now we have a lot of republican in my age group in the south that are closet racists. But they are not politicians.

I know, just ask the dozens and dozens of actual conservative Republicans in Congress...

Oh wait, there's only like 4 or 5 of them.

Oops.

Well, your statement is based off of a false premise. You see, black people are a minority. What does this mean? This means that there are few blacks contending for positions so there will, statistically, be less black people represented in office. Now, let's also look at how many black people are part of the GOP.....what is that?...like a very small % of an already minority class? Then who among them decide to run for public office compared to other races. Add to that that you still actually have to win your race then what does that leave you?

In other words, you trotted out a really ignorant, simplistic, and just below what I'd expect of you.

P.S. Btw, Colin Powell is a racist. He voted for Obama because he's black.

Racist no, the Republican Party is not near organized and united enough these days to be racist as in institution. But they may have members with plenty of prejudice, which makes them match some Democrats as well as any other group.
