Ha. Colin Powell endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President.I find this so damn funny, not because I think endorsements make a huge difference, but this one will have an impact because of the right wing reaction to it.
I am not talking about “normal thinking” Republicans (yes, there are some out there), but I am talking about the right wing fringe.
And man…these snakes are showing their colors, and their poison…quickly, loudly, and vehemently.
I got home late last night , and I was so excited to listen to Vietnam dodger and talk show radio host, Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW-AM.
Willie, as he’s known, has a large audience…And this man, who calls himself, The Voice of the Common Man is livid over the endorsement.
Willie, was saying that Powell owes everything to the Republican Party.
His career…his prominence, and it’s a damn shame that the General has backed a terrorist, and double-crossed the GOP.
Well ya know what, Willie? Sen. Joe Lieberman rose to power with the strength of the money and the machine of the Democrat party.
Yet, Jerusalem Joe has given the Dem party the big ol’ F-U, just so that he can insure that his career on the backs of the taxpayer continues, and...
That his first patriotic love, the State of Israel, still stands gazing down upon the dirt roads, poverty, and hovels of the Palestinian State.
Joe, the jig is up…We all know that you would rather have the capital of the U.S. reside in Jerusalem, and not Washington, D.C.
How’s that for hyperbole? Well it’s on Cunningham’s level. Only mine isn’t filled with hate and I don’t have the mindless audience that he has that would agree with me.
The first caller (an ex-military guy) that I heard on Cunningham's show last night said that he couldn’t believe that, “Race trumps substance.” He was speaking of Powell’s endorsement of Obama.
After the caller and Willie had phone sex over the issue, Willie once again, went on an anti-Powell rant.
And it was funny…Willie who is also a lawyer of some success, implied that Powell was endorsing Obama because of race.
Cunningham said that it was a travesty because Powell should have endorsed McCain because they were both soldiers.
Huh? Wouldn’t that be the same endorsement by association that Cunningham is eschewing? Hey Cunningham, for a lawyer you ain’t so cunning.
On a similar note, FOX News began spinning this 1,001 Ways to Sunday since the news broke, and will be doing so today…
Powell wants a position…Powell wanted to be McCain’s VP…Powell is sticking with his “homey”.
You guys all suck. Powell is still a Republican. He’s still the man he was yesterday. He’s still a thoughtful man.
The only difference is that he doesn’t walk in lockstep with the GOP.
Powell said that he likes Obama’s calm, cool, thoughtfulness. He doesn’t like the Palin choice. He doesn’t like the negative ads from McCain.
I understand that the right wing of the GOP doesn’t like people deviating from the lockstep, because if one does; they may all fall down.
And the irony is?
You have an alleged bi-partisan Maverick as a candidate, and yet you guys obviously hate self-thinkers…
Ha, and I thought the Democrats were the ones who ate their own.
Cheers!!
Update: I want to apologize to Fox and Friends...This morning the self-proclaimed, "Official Morning Show of the 2008 Election" has decided not to talk much about the Powell endorsement.
They are ignoring it in order to talk about Barack's murky fundraising and the new Lynne Spears book. Oh they mention the endorsement a bit and ask, "Did race play a part in the endorsement? What does Rush Limbaugh think?" Cue, drug boy!!
