Once Again, John Sununu’s At The Center Of A Race Blow Up

Source: TPM

Top Romnney surrogate John Sununu is in the news for comments related to the president’s race. Again.

This time it was Sununu’s claim that Colin Powell, like Sununu an important figure in the George H.W. Bush administration, endorsed Obama this week because they both are black and not because of the president’s record.

“Well, I think when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being President of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him,” Sununu told CNN’s Piers Morgan.
Earlier this month he drew Andrea Mitchell’s ire on MSNBC for calling Obama “lazy” after the first presidential debate.

That was nothing compared to the rampage he went on in July, when he gave a series of interviews highlighting Obama’s teen drug use and questioning just how truly American he is because of his upbringing.

More open about it than most Rapepublicans, but that's what they all said four years ago and are saying now.

Folks there know for certain that the Snu is infested with Republican Family Degenerate Values. He has proven it repeatedly.

5. Think about it. You have Sununu and Robert Bork part of romney's staff. As far as I am concerned

those actions by themselves tell me that the romney's have problems with civil rights and race relations

Remember mccain voting against having a day honoring Martin Luther King? He may have later appologized for it, however, that indicates a major character flaw, and so does having sunnunu being part of the romney's campaign

That Obama is not 3/5's the President that Romney will be.

I read this on a Daily Kos Diary, "John Sununu's Racist Twitter feed"

10. John Sununu would be screaming if we Dems jumped on Romney's sick cult Moron religion all the time

John Sununu constantly trashes Obama on personal issues like his race, Sununu always baiting and using the race card....

Well, Republican Mormon Mitt Romney is fair game for the disgusting homophobic, racist, misogyny cult religion he belongs to and bases his whole ideology on and would govern by - if he had the chance.

And well we should!!

President Obama and General Powell are more American in their little fingers than all of Sununu's body. Racist MFer pig.
