Colin Powell Slanders The GOP
Meet The Press/ CBS | 10/19/08

Posted on 10/19/2008 3:11:35 PM PDT by Williams

Twice today, both on Meet The Press and when he was iterviewed outside the studio, Colin Powell said that the republicans are running a campaign claiming that Barack Obama is a Moslem. Powell says this is "unacceptable".

I agree, it is unacceptable for someone supposedly as experienced as Colin Powell to manufacture this slander out of thin air. We follow this election pretty closely, and neither McCain or the GOP has EVER even hinted that Obama is Moslem.

In the same sentence, Powell disnissed both this imaginary GOP campaign that Obama is a Moslem, and dismissed the charge that obama has associated with a terrorist.

Powell is either dangerously misinformed or engaging in deliberate slander.

When I heard this fanasy "Moslem" charge straight from his own mouth, I lost all respect for Colin Powell. And Powell is wrong about Ayers as well.

Powell is merely spouting the talking points that were spoon-fed to him by David Axelrod.

Sad that his public career has come to this, that he could slander McCain and so many others, but that’s what it is.

Colin Powell has proved that, in the end, for him skin color trumps all.

Powell pulled off a disgraceful fragging of his “friend” John McCain as well as America. He should be ashamed of what he as done.

Actually, the more Powell talks about Obama not being a MUSLIM, the more that impression will be embedded in some voters’ minds.

I've thought Powell was and affirative action ass since after the first Gulf War. F'him. I don't see where his endorsement would hvae done anything for McCain.

The Democrap faithful get confirmation that Powelll has/is on thier team but it does nothing for McCain except the media get the opportunity to spin it.

Powell stabbed McCain in the back. Pretty disgraceful but not surprising, he knew from the beginning that Scooter Libby wasn’t the guy who dropped the dime on Wilosns old lady and he left Libby swining in the wind. AT that point I cahnged my opinion of Powell from disagreeing with him to despising him.

Today Gen. Powell officially turned his back on his oath to defend this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Powell also said it’s okay if he IS a muslim. That tells me he either KNOWS o is a muslim, or he THINKS o is a muslim. And he wants to say it’s okay just in case irrefutable evidence gets out.
