Rush implies that Powell's endorsement is because of you guess it, skin color.

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 e-mail. "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 four-star and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures."

1. So let me understand this. If not for Reagan and Bush, Powell would not be
the man he is today? That is very white of you to say that Rush.

2. No one should let Rush know it is because of the red blood they share
Poor Rush with all that ice water running through his veins and only transparent white folk to relate to.

5. They liked him just fine when they saw him as the house n****r
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 02:13 PM by lunatica
kissing up and kicking down. How sad their respect is so conditional on his subservience. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to Powell, though I imagine it comes as somewhat a disappointment coming from some quarters.

Well you GOP ass lickers, I'm white and a woman and I've already voted for Obama. What do you think my bias is? The stupidity coming out the pundits who can't wrap their heads around the changes that have nothing to do with their opinions is astounding.

7. Breaking News...S.S. Squealer Hits Iceberg, No One Cares
I'm gonna start listening to good 'ol Squealer Limbaugh.
I have never, ever listened to his crapfest.

I figure he's gonna have a massive apoplectic fit live and on the air any day now, and a noise like a bagpipe being shredded by a chainsaw will come out of his mouth instead of coherent speech.

I'll feel really bad when that happens.




Really.

12. Rush endorses McCain because his wife's a drug addict
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 02:34 PM by sheeptramp

Maybe Rush is inspired by their shared histories of criminal behavior arising from their addictions to narcotics. Rush Limbaugh and Cindy McCain both prowled by night.

Or maybe its just skin color.
