is the fact that pretty much every barking moonbat on the left would refer to Colin Powell as a "warmonger." Don't believe me-go type in Colin Powell Warmonger in Google and see what you find. What's the difference between Bush and Powell? Now that Powell has endorsed Osama/Obama, I wonder if Powell will now be revered as a hero and a saint by those kooks on the loony left that make up the Messiah's base?
Powell says it’s not about race... having to point that out is like someone saying “no offense intended” right before offending, or “with all due respect” before disrespecting.
Absolutely, he will made a saint. As the late Sen. Russell Long (D-La) used to say: (I had questioned his vote on the Panama Canal) “Son, you must remember, where you stand depends on where you sit.”
Sure they will! They will say Powell has seen the light and turned from his evil Republican party. Personally, I NEVER trusted Powell.
It is ALL ABOUT RACE.
Totally...
oh, it’s about race because Powell would have to be senile to truly think Obama is a fit commander in chief for our military
I wonder if Powell is being blackmailed?
The Left never liked him.
Here’s how the left thinks of him.
This is the dirt they came up with.
Pretty bad stuff.

Just another instance of race besting intelligence.
Liberals at Yahoo, Google, and AP are working overtime to delete the ‘warmonger’ reference associated in all Powell search. LOL!
He is BLACK, so I expected Powell, an affirmative action recipiennt himself, to endorse Obama. Did you also read his endorsement? Liberal talking points - bigtime. These people are so predictable.
The media and the Obama campaign will try to get some mileage out of this, but Powell’s star has waned. It’s no longer the mid-90s when he was the most popular figure in American life or whatever (certainly the most popular African-American, well, next to Michael Jordan).
This endorsement won’t move the election. This is a cynical country. Old black guy endorses young black guy for president is how this will play out in flyover land.
But, yes, the 180 from Powell as a member of Bushitler’s inner circle to revered, distinguished former Secretary of State will be amusing.
from the corner
And another... [Mark Steyn]
The staterooms on the bandwagon are pretty much taken. Standing room only now:
WASHINGTON (AP) Colin Powell, who was President Bush’s first secretary of State, is endorsing Barack Obama. Powell told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Obama is a “transformational figure” who is better suited to be president.
A “transformational” president with a Pelosi House and a filibuster-proof Senate. Thanks, Colin!
A reader wonders:
How come when Colin Powell promoted Bush’s “lies,” he was not someone to be believed or trusted, but now that he’s endorsed Obama, he is someone to be . . . believed and trusted?

Not to worry. Google will have it all scrubbed within 24 hours.

Talk about spin.
Before it was, “Powell lied and people died.”
If I remember correctly, he sat before the world and told us what a threat Iraq was. I guess it didn’t work out like he expected so now he has to come up with more lies.
good point - up until now Powell was in the Uncle Tom category right alongside Thomas Sowell and JC Watts.
Powell wasn’t black enough.
Is he black enough now?
Can Uncle Toms be removed from that list?
Maybe Bush should endorse Obama and see if the moonbats start to love him
Totally...
Yep. All you have to do is ask whether Powell would have endorsed a blond-haired, blue-eyed Barry Dunham with a similar resume.
Wait a minute...Barack Obama was against the war...against Bush policies......Endorsment by Collin Powell?
Colllin Powell started the war in Iraq....Collin Powell was a big Bush supporter...Collin Powell is pro - Military?
This cant be good for really left leaning, war hating liberals.
This endorsment is contrary to everything Obama stands for!!
