Yes I see what you are saying, but why is he mentioning Republicans first and foremost when Democrats are the intolerant and racist ones by far? I don’t see Al Sharpton waving any Republican flags.
“Yes I see what you are saying, but why is he mentioning Republicans first and foremost when Democrats are the intolerant and racist ones by far? “
I agree. Probably the answer is predicated a lot on the question, as well.
Eg,
Q: “General, are the Republicans dirty rotten racists?”
A: “I see racism in the Republicans but also it is everywhere else. It’s not unique to Republicans”.
Headline: “General Slams Republicans as Racist”.
Powell plays in the Dog and Pony show and knows who butters his bread.
“Dog for and against both sides and all.”
And by the way, above was supposed to be:
“Dog whistle for and against both sides, and all.”
In other words, such an interview and article provides enough something for all sides to get riled up a bit without actually imparting any useful information or opinion.
