Appearing on MSNBC, former Secretary of State Colin Powell savaged the Republican Party of which he says he is still a member for catering to “elements” that are overtly hostile to people of other races or nationalities. Powell told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that there are groups within the GOP who “demonize people who don’t look like the way they’d like them to look.” He added that, for this reason, he believes the GOP needs him more than the Democratic Party needs him.
He said that even senior-level Republicans continue to make “statements about women” and “minorities” that make the party look “less tolerant than it should be.” Powell specifically cited voting laws which he said are designed to restrict minority access to the polls.

The GOP needs a Colinectomy. He can take the rest of the GOP, liberal traitors with him.
And to think that at one time there were actually people who were hoping that he would run for president.
Yeah Collie....we really demonized you, asshat. Actually we LIONIZED you and YOU voted for Obama BECAUSE he’s BLACK!! GO AWAY!! You’ve already BITTEN the hand that fed you for years!! GO AWAY!!
What a dumbass. Powell is the Party equivalent of an internet troll.
Hmmmmm ..?? It seems “projection” is at work here .. and while Colin is complaining about the GOP .. the people he’s really talking about is the DNC - because they judge everybody by how they look; and what color they are.
I agree .. his fifteen minutes of fame are up.
It’s because of Colin that we did not continue on into Iraq after we booted the Iraqis out of Kuwait. The Iraqi army was in total disarray .. we had basically destroyed their infrastructure .. but because Colin is a liberal .. he advised against it. THIS WAS A MAJOR MIS-CALCULATION!!!
All this jackass is is a low-class, dishonest, angry race baiter.
With the election coming soon MSNBC will be rolling out their newfound Useful Idiot on a routine basis to trash the GOP. Powell will oblige them since he secretly shares their radical liberal views.
Well............I guess this is an example of the GOP being the Party of the Big Tent!
With Chris Christie.........it needs a big tent.
Well Colon I'll See your bigotry and raise you "All liberals and Demonrats demonize all people who don't think the way they do"
Same for anyone else who voted for odinga. Really, what qualifications other than skin color did he, or does he have? Absolutely none.
Whatever Colin Powell once was he is now nothing more than a useful idiot. The rest of his life will be spent popping up every 4-5 months to tell everyone that America still sucks.
How about not liking people who get affirmative action handout and who then hate those who paid for it?
Say what?!?
Powell evidently didn’t study history at CCNY, or thereafter.
Democrats are the segregationists, slaveholders, klansmen, poll taxers who have kept blacks in poverty for decades.
Powell is the ultimate racist. All his decisions are made on the basis of race, and if you ain’t his, you’re a lowlife.
Gen Powell needs to buy a clue.
The democrat party is the source of slavery, jim crow, bull connor, and everything subjugation of blacks.
I suspect from his lofty perch he views every black in America as a PV2.
Time to set the uniform aside, general. You’re retired.
