Rush Limbaugh responds to Powell Obambi endorsement (because he's black)
Time ^ | 10/19/2008 | Mark Halperin

Posted on 10/19/2008 11:14:56 AM PDT by nobamanada

Rush Limbaugh to Politico on Powell's Endorsement "Rush Limbaugh suggested Powell's move was very much related to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president." "'Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race,' Limbaugh wrote in an email. 'OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with.'" "'I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making HIM a 4-star and Secretary of State AND appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures.'"

An undeniable truth....

Those that danced in the streets on 9/11/01, will dance again on 11/5/08, if Obama is elected!

I can remember NO ONE more clearly than Powell standing in front of the UN with his little vile of powder and surveillance photos warning of the imminent danger of Iraq. HE is the ONE who made the case about the WMD to the world; HE is the ONE who stood on his reputation to convince the world of something that was grounds for the war. And now he supports the side that called him a liar.

He is a disgrace to the military now supporting the party that has wanted to cut and run in defeat. Because of skin color or because he wants a job...what little was left of his credibility is gone.

When Berg’s citizenship case goes down and bho is proven to be not eligible for office, he(bho) will do more damage for blacks in the US then any person in history. Powell will be in the same bho toilet flush.

Lord Barack Øbama, the Most Merciful is NOT an African-American - he is Arab-American if you are into hypenated brands.

JMHO - that lawsuit won’t go anywhere.

Too many judges that will look at the “social outcome” of their decisions and not at the law.

Read this interview at the link for more insight on Powell.

My fault with General Powell goes back to Desert Storm. Dick Cheney was SoD I believe and they had opposing views then. Powell joins the GW Bush Adm. and Cheney is VP. Powell feels he was hung out to dry by the Bush adm. when no WMD were found in Iraq after Powell’s UN speech. My impression Powell got his pride and feelings hurt.

Read the article and make comments if you disagree with my thinking. I’m often wrong.

It was Katrina not Ike. 5000 prisoners shot in the back of the head then buried in the marshes. She has sources but she can't reveal them.

Gee you think there would be a family member or two who would be complaining.

Rush is right!

And if Bill Clinton is the first black president then Obama will be the first Muslim president.

He is. obozo isn't an African-American either. He's an Arab-American. He's using the African-American gimmick to smwooze votes from that section of society but he shares absolutely nothing with them in terms of a "history".

I'm convinced that the phaker would swear that he was related to the Easter Bunny if he thought that that was what the voters wanted to hear.

The guy is repulsive.

Oh yeah, you’re right, it was after Katrina! What’s sad, though, is you point out there’s no evidence, but many of these folks still assume it to be true, or at least that it could be.

This is TOTALLY A BLACK THING. The last piece of respect I had for Powell is gone.

“We’ll just have to save America without General Powell’s help.”

Like we can always count on the affirmative action crowd for help on anything.

I don’t mind an African-AMERICAN for President. I at least would like him/her to be AMERICAN though. Obama is unable to convince me that he is an American in his heart and soul.

Powell will vote for him because he is black and for no other reason.

He’s white but hardly meets the other criteria.

Way to go Rush!

Once again you make me thrilled to be a subscriber. You say the things I’m thinking, albeit much better. And I feel indebted to you for doing so!
