Wow. Just think how unfulfilled the Left would be if the world was inhabited only by light skinned people.

If privileged Colin, elevated by the GOP to near-presidential status, is feeling hostility it is because he has gone over to the other side. He may have done that because he is black. But to those betrayed, his being a traitor to a cause - his using for political power a cause he really didn´t believe in and support and torpedoing it at every turn - has nothing to do with his skin color.

Search your own soul, Colin. The answer is in you, not us.

The fact that bowell stood silently by while Scooter Libby was maliciously prosecuted by Fitsgerald surely did not have any bearing on our dislike and distrust for bowell!

/s

how convenient to have an excuse to fall back on whenever faced with opposition.

How pathetic for grown man, who has had so many advantages in his life time to revert to such common excuse.

I feel hostility toward race baiting idiots.

I feel hostility toward Powell because he is behaving stupidly. Thank you Rattner (great name btw) for pointing out that Powell is black, are we supposed to cut him some slack for that?

So says Mr. Farakhann´s best buddy.

Powell is an anti-semite. Picture is worth a thousand words.

(Dear Lucianne Staff: I kindly request that this forum consider posting one of the two (or both) photographs linked above on the Home Page in the next few days. I think it´s more than relevent considering Powell´s recent insertion into this debate. Thank you...)

How is it the GOP´s fault that Powell feels that way? Can anyone control how someone else "feels"?

It seems more like Powell is suffering from paranoia or VWRC delusion.

Oh PUHleeze..... anytime one cannot justify the facts the RACE card is brought out! This is pathetic at best and insulting to all minorities!!!!!!

Years ago...I wanted Gen. Colin Powell to be elected US President on a Republican ticket since I felt he really was a moderate Republican. Now I feel like he wasn´t who he said he was...since he has vigorously supported Obama-Biden´s election and then re-election.President Obama is a radicalized progressive leftist liberal that says he is a Democrat but really a far-left social-democrat at that.

he hates whites and himself because deep down inside he knows he only rose so high because of his color and affirmative action. if he had been allowed to rise based on color blind ability he would not have this buried self hate.

Powell was the worst SOS ever to preside over Foggy Bottom.

He slow-walked President Bush´s drive for a UN vote on declaring Iraq in violation (for the umpteenth time) of the terms of the truce following the Iraq War I.

He chased after the chimera of France´s hints of a favorable vote to no avail, losing many months which allowed Hussein (their Hussein, not ours) to ship incriminating materiel to Syria.

He didn´t lift a finger to cajole Turkey into allowing our 4th Mechanized Division to invade Iraq from their territory on the northern border of Iraq, creating a lightning-fast pincer movement.

He bears primary responsibility for the agonizing slow conclusion of our Iraq campaign.

No...because he is shallow minded!

Im sorry the reason I dont like him is because he´s a RINO and a Jacjhat not because he´s blaaaaaaack.

Powell is just one more reason to prove the country is lost. When an affirmative action, politically correct and nuanced person is appointed as General by congress, the Pentagon will not hesitate to order US troops to fire upon US citizens and civilians.

I don´t suppose giving his full boot licking support to an undocumented domestic enemy in the White House would cause any hostility. Instead we should applause the Presidents efforts to disarm us, bankrupt us and hollow out our military, empty what´s left of our treasury for redistribution to his corrupt supporters and turn our children into tax slaves. In other words we should all become Pro Obama anti American democrat zombies like 99% of Colin Powell´s people.

It looks like powell has some deep seated resentment because of being advanced by his skin color rather than his character or abilities. He should be smart enough to realize the source of his discontent lies within the purvue of his newly adopted political party, not the GOP.

That´s right. We´re all raaaaaacists.
But somehow we forgot to direct our racial hostility to Condaleeza Rice, Justice Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and other black folk who haven´t devolved into black victimology.

Why should we expect "Cash for Clunkers" and GM Buyout Rattner to have a sensible thought in his pointy head?

I feel hostility towards Colin Powell because he stinks.

No, your sin of omission re: Scooter Libby did it for me, General.

Colin Powell - RINO-in-Chief

So people like Allan West, Clarence Thomas, Michael Faulkner, J.C.Watts et al are welcomed in the GOP because they´re...white?

No Colon (intentional misprint), we don´t like you because you´re an Uncle Tom for your race and, like the old Yellow Dog Democrats, would vote for a Black Dog Liberal no matter what his ideology, just because he is black.

Colin Powell is a liberal with combat ribbons, an opportunist who doesn´t know his curtain came down an eon ago and who won´t get off the stage.

No one except the MSM is interested in his opinion any more but he thinks the country is still blinded by his competence as a military man, which is lately in question.

Nobody ever appreciates Colin the way that Colin does...

Obama can´t run again and the dems don´t have a viable black to take his place. So Powell is setting the stage to leave the ´racist´ Repub party and declare himself a dem. The msm will pick up on this and float his name for pres. The low info dems won´t even know he was a turncoat repub and vote for him same way as they voted for obama.

No, Ratt; it´s because he´s a gutless, lying backstabber...

The political left is despicable. They lie, cheat and steal in order to get elected. Impugning the reputation of their opposition is their speciality. In my experience as a Republican who has attended all types of meetings of like minded folks, there has not been racism amongst them. The main priority of Republicans now is to return to fiscal responsibility and the rule of law (the Constitution). The LEFT has no shame; the ends justify the means ala Karl Marx; despicable isn´t a strong enough word for them.

Rattner (WELL NAMED) is wrong, Colin Powell was given lots of slack and wrongly deserved credit because he is black, he is feeling hostility because he is a dirty back stabbing scum bucket! The only racists in this game are the liberal/socialist useful idiots.

How about it not being because you are black unless you make it so. In that case you are racist, Sir. I just call it being a turncoat.

No hostility from here until your true colors showed during W´s administration!
