Oh those racist Republicans. Did you know that they're hostile to Colin Powell because he's black? Yup, just ask former Obama car czar Steve Rattner. The Morning Joe regular today claimed that poor Powell "feels this hostility toward him from the rest of the party in part because he's a minority."
Really? Colin Powell feels hostility from "the rest of the party" because he's a minority? The Colin Powell for whom so many in the GOP were clamoring to run for president in 1995-96? The Powell who actually won the 1996 New Hampshire primary—as a write-in!—after he had withdrawn his name from consideration? That Colin Powell? Please.

To Colin Powell,
You’re a stupid bast@rd.
Sincerely,
Fishtank
Well, HE is the one who chose his skin color over his principles...
So, turns out that Colin Powell is just another race hustler in the mold of Sharptoons and Jackasson. I wonder, was all high colonic Powell’s promotion in the military just more affirmative action run amok?
How about the fact that Colin Powell is a tool of the leftist elite, who is attacking the GOP for Obozo? I could care less what Powell's skin color is. There are many many tools of the left who are white, and for whom I have complete disdain. Liberalism is a mental illness from which there is no cure or treatment.
Which party made him secretary of state? Which party made condoleeza rice SoS? Powell has had plenty of opportunities and has no basis for any complaints of racism.
There very fact he claims racism after having enjoyed such success indicates he mst be getting senile
No it’s because he is actually a Democrat.
I wonder if there is a similar reason for hatred of the Eurorat Rattner?
