'My party is full of racists': Former Colin Powell aide blasts GOP after Romney adviser says ex-Secretary of State is only supporting Obama because he's black

-Retired Colonel John Wilkerson is a Republican who served as General Colin Powell's chief of staff -John Sununu claims Mr Powell is supporting the President's election campaign because of their shared race -Says the former US Secretary of State - who is African American - did not make decision based on policy -Poll show race for White House is racially divided with Obama supported by 80% of black and Hispanic voters but just 37% of whites -Data also shows president is struggling to connect with whites who voted for him four years ago

Colin Powell's former chief of staff publicly blasted the Republican Party and one of Mitt Romney’s top aide as racists over a controversial comment regarding Powell’s endorsement of President Obama.

Appearing on Ed Schultz's MSNBC show Friday, retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said, 'My party is full of racists' in response to John Sununu's remark that the only reason Powell, a Republican who served as secretary of state under George W. Bush, backed the Democratic incumbent is because both men are black.

Wilkerson told Schultz that he respected Sununu 'as a Republican,' but did ‘not have any respect for the integrity of the position that [Sununu] seemed to codify.

Yup. The only good news from the past four years is that the race card has been used so much and so often that it has overheated and is melting. Not too many uses left in that thing now.

Wilkerson and Powell can kiss my lily white arse.

Powell is the worst sort of beltway insider.
He has no allegiance except to his own high cravings to be stroked.

Ohh.. please invite me to the party, Oh please fawn on me and don’t spare the Dom perignon

Better question is who is Ed Schultz? Does his mother even watch this tokenized, slavering, self abusing Marxist loon?

Little Eddie is among the tiny jabering gaggle of hand me down libtards on Fox News like Jerry Rivers (aka Geraldo Rivera....who re-latinized his name because his mother once had lunch at Chi Chi's) and whining cow eyed Juan Williams who discovered his Libtard nose picker buddies sometimes become a shrieking lynch mob of banshees that cannibalize their own when he mouthed the wrong confessional on PBS.

These cowanistic cretins and capons are given air time so FOX CEO Roger Ailes can claim to be “fair and balanced” and thereby drive even greater weight to the right wing entertainers like O’Reilly, Hannity and Ingram.

Now as to Colon Powell....yes Colon....he was once a warrior who discovered how handy it was career wise in an affirmative action Army to be mostly black but look, sound and act white.....He always gave the ring banging good old boys network in the Army what they needed....an upwardly mobile colored mannequin to hold up like a talisman whenever they were challenged on their diversity program.

In return, Colon got promotions and choice assignments over his paler, more qualified and competent colleagues....even getting jumped over 36 more senior generals to be named the youngest and first “almost black?” Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff by a new Republican President (Old Man George Bush). Ol Georgie was eager to build his rep as trendy, hip, and even with the happening “thingy”. Oh, and because Colon was just that great. Yeah. That great. Really Colon deserved it.... Colon's color didn't have anything to do with it. Read George's lips. It is true.

So, old Colon ended his show dog boot licking Army career as just another house “n-word” proving that shallow conservatives knew what political theater was just as well as the shallow libtards. While one of the white guys he got promoted over (Schwarzkopf) did all the heavy lifting and brain work during Desert Storm.....gee, we never see that in real life do we. But Colon almost got a 5th star because he stopped Stormin Norman 60 miles short of Baghdad and ensured we got to go back a second time. Clauswitz and Napoleon have nothing on Colon....except skill and judgement I suppose.

Colon was called back as Sec of State by Georgie junior because his Dad told him he had to....and Colon was the only Republican stupid enough to actually believe Saddam Husein had WMD’s. What a tool.

Who cares who Colon endorses.....but if he is voting for Commander Zero for any reason OTHER than Obama is mostly kinda sorta black just like Colon...then he really is a moron. Why else would anybody vote for the worst president since....well, I guess he is the worst president period.

So Colon spent his life getting ahead and being there by being, as Joe Biden described Obama....a real clean black man that didn't smell funny.

Now that is a man whose erudite intellectual prowess I respect.

God save us all. Children are in charge and they have guns.

Oh well, never mind. I confused MSNBC’s Ed Schultz with the equally noxious Fox News Bob Beckel....both ugly fat liberal white guys that nobody cares about.....

Too much Jack and too little sleep.

There is only one general I believe understood war and I would follow into battle.



I don't like him, but he is the one I agree with when it comes to war with islam. Powell is a cake eater.

There are freepers who are no different whatsoever than Powell

prolly even belong to the same Black GOP orgs

they work here in concert and they and their cohorts are not much conservative really

the fact that white southerners are the backbone of social conservatism and the GOPs most consistent bloc

kills them

they wish they could purge us

they have to really get out of control for the mods to blast em

it’s only 6-12 and some could be multiple portal IDs and no it is not indicative of all black freepers...a tiny bunch and their shabbaz crackers

anyhow I can remember being threatened here for disparaging Powell back in the day

I judge all men as individuals. At a minimum, I expect a man to carry his own load if he able. If you can do that much, I can overlook a lot of other shortcomings; however, if you are able but unwilling to carry your own load, preferring to get by exploiting the labor and the good will of other men, I have no respect for you and I would watch you starve to death before I would give you a dime.

therefore, if you are a President that hopes to get reelected by promising to those who will not, booty and spoils from those who can and do, by dividing Americans along class lines, by inciting jealousy and envy and animosity, then I can not vote for you. It isn't because of your race, it's because of the appalling lack of American inside of you and because of the dangerous divisions you create and exploit.

what's more, the judgement of this President who was well known to be wholly unqualified for the job from day one, has led this country, not out of a recession, but straight into the eye of an economic blackhole. He has paved the road to hell.

Powell was largely responsible for letting Saddam stay in power

Kurds and Marsh Shiite are ever grateful

Sherman...some applaud his ideas of total war on civilians...yet we won’t do that today even though he did it to his own kin..we are kind of screwed up nowadays

he did offer generous terms though...and I have always given him that credit where due..hell they all did ...they were tired of dying

fat boys up in Congress wanted more getback even though they had not paid the price

same old story ain’t it?

Colin Powell is a disgrace, and so, apparently, is his “chief-of-staff”... I wonder if he was down in Jamaica when Powell was hanging around with Farrakhan earlier this week? As if someone who WASN’T an anti-”White” racist would want their pictures taken with this man, or be OK with being seated (sitting) next to him??? This is absolutely sickening...

If this guy voted for socialist Obama like Powell, then he ain’t no Republican any way, any how, by that fact alone. And that has nothing to do with race.

I am going to go somewhat against the grain here, at least when it comes to Powell himself, when it comes to his stances here. I just don’t think Powell intended to bring down the Republican Party as a sort of insider liberal Democrat nor do i think he was always a liberal Democrat. I think the political and social pressure of being a sell out Uncle Tom and a black man who wants to be white, coming from such an ungodly number of people inside and outside his racial community, broke him down and broke his spirit. These things happen.

That said, Wilkerson is still acting like an irresponsible jackass.
