In an exchange with former Secretary of State and prominent Obama supporter Colin Powell during NBC's live inauguration coverage on Monday, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams urged Powell to go after Republicans: "General, there's just flat-out hatred out there, too. There's nastiness out there in the land. There's nastiness between these two parties....Let's especially go to the Republican Party....What do they do to widen, if it is in their interest, widen their doorway to membership, to entry?"
Powell seized the opportunity to double down on his recent smear of the GOP having a "dark vein of intolerance": "I've been saying and said with David Gregory the other day, the party is not where the American people have been in recent years....Society is changing and the Republican Party has not been keeping up with it. And if you dare to say that, then you're violating the orthodoxy of the party and you find yourself attacked....If doesn't want to change, it can stay where it is, and I think it will continue to lose elections."
Williams allowed Powell to portray himself as a victim of GOP attacks but failed to press him on his assertion in that Meet the Press interview that Republicans "look down on minorities."

Looks like Dick Cheney. Only whiter.
Wow. Thanks for posting The Inauguration of Failure. Worth the watch.
Unbridled Honesty
colon bowel is such a DIMocRAT lawn jockey...what a fool...what an affirmative-action loser.
Check out some of his other videos. In addition to his unbridled honesty he is pretty humorous too.
Of course you may steal my post. Or as the Democrats would say, "invest" my post.
And Justice Thomas.
When that airs, Fox news, IF it had any backboen at all, shoudl put together a clip of all the filthy nasty crap the left said abotu President Bush and air it all day long, then show the comments by powell and compare the two and ask, who are the nasty party again?
As I have said before, Colin Powell is a Democrat who plays a Republican on television. If he had any integrity he would have long ago have changed parties.
colon bowel has his head so far up owebammy’s arse he can lick the soles of chrissy matthews’ shoes.
That’s easy. He is black, and he worked in the White House. He earned his position by brown nosing. He is a parade soldier, not a combat one.
Brian Williams is to journalism as Joseph Goebbels was.
