| General Colin Powell has been very critical of the Republican party in recent years, and tonight he appeared on Bill O’Reilly‘s show to defend his criticisms of the GOP. O’Reilly grilled Powell on why he continues to support President Obama despite the bad economic numbers and made him defend his claim that the Republican party has a problem with minorities. O’Reilly also brought up a criticism that Powell is just bitter with the party because they made him look bad following his 2003 speech before the United Nations on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Comments:
Powell´s assertions about voter ID were horribly weak. He should just become a Democrat and be done with it.

Powell was stunning ...revealed himself to be a racist with talking points that seemed to be written by Obama´s WH...he said voter ID was racist in nature but made no comments about the incredibly voter theft by Obama´s long term associates ACORN...
Powell also spoke of "Leveling the playing field" ...right from Obama´s talking points...
Powell spoke of the Republican Party as against all minorities, that is an inherently racist comment...
I wish OReilly had asked about Powells set up of Scooter Libby and his efforts to take down Cheney and Bush...and how he lets his and Armitages lies divide this country for the sole reason...to usher the Communist Obama in..so disappointed in Powell..What was he ? The Manchurian General?

O´Reilly needs to moderate a Presidential debate (actually all 3) in 2016 . That should be non negotiable for the Republican candidate to participate in them.

O´Reilly´s word of the day should have been RINO and provided a picture of Colin Powell.
"Don´t be a RINO" when writing to the Factor."
Poster was correct; He should just become a Democrat and be done with it.

Powell was given tremendous opportunity by Republican presidents, including Secretary of State and was even considered as a possible Republican candidate for the presidency. Race trumps everything with Powell.

Powell is a perfect example of the affirmative action Army Officer. To hear him talk he knows little and can´t find his way out of a paper sack ´with the end open´.
It is no wonder his thinking is so muddled!

CHICAGO — The NSA’s domestic surveillance program and the IRS scandal didn’t come from nowhere. They have a geneology. Roosevelt begat Truman. Truman begat Eisenhower. Eisenhower begat Kennedy. Kennedy begat Johnson. Johnson begat Nixon. Nixon begat Ford. Ford begat Carter. Carter begat Reagan. Reagan begat Bush. Bush begat Clinton. Clinton begat Bush. Bush begat Obama. There you have the genealogical family that begat domestic spying, domestic intelligence operations, illegal wiretapping and eavesdropping, electronic surveillance on a massive scale, wholesale violations of civil rights.

A Senate panel will begin consideration of a carbon tax bill as part of a broader hearing on climate change in mid-July. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) told reporters in the Capitol on Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) climate bill will surface during that hearing. Boxer has said she wants to get the legislation to the floor this summer. But it faces a tough path in the Senate, and is likely dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled House. While liberal Democrats have revived previously moribund climate change discourse in recent

Gohmert suggested that the FBI was negligent in its responsibilities prior to the April attack on the Boston Marathon because they neglected to investigate local Muslim institutions and leaders. Mueller and Gohmert traded barbs after the FBI director insisted that the GOP representative had his facts wrong.

A federal judge has approved the Obama administration´s plan to remove all restrictions on the sale of the one-step morning-after pill. The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman on Wednesday means that Plan B One-Step, a popular brand of emergency contraception, will soon be available over-the-counter along with its generic counterparts. The decision ends a long battle between women´s health advocates and the Obama administration over who should have access to the morning-after pill. Groups like the Center for Reproductive Rights, which had sued for broader access to emergency contraception, argued that women

In a Gallup tracking poll released Tuesday, former-President George W. Bush currently stands with a favorability rating of 49%, compared to 46% who see the 43rd president unfavorably. Meanwhile, another Gallup poll shows President Obama with only a 47% approval rating, with 44% disapproving. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. After all, Obama fooled everyone when he ran as the anti-Bush in 2008. Everyone thought Obama meant he would be less hawkish than his predecessor. But as we have seen, Obama apparently has no problem killing American citizens

The background problems are severe enough that many of the roughly 2,000 agents in State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security can play only limited roles in agency efforts to police bad conduct and prosecute wrongdoers. The problems in the bureau are the latest revelation in an exploding scandal that also involves accusations that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that the incidence of pregnancy caused by rape is "very low," prompting criticism from Democrats who said the GOP is waging a "war on women." Franks made the comment during a committee mark-up of his late-term abortion ban bill, which is expected pass the House next week. The Republican lawmaker was arguing against a Democratic amendment allowing rape and incest victims to procure abortions. As written, the bill only exempts women whose lives are in danger.

One person whose privacy was not invaded by U.S. intelligence was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as he repeatedly visited the al Qaeda online magazine Inspire for its recipe “Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom.” Even after Russian intelligence asked the FBI to investigate Tsarnaev, the huge databases our intelligence services maintain in the name of our national security failed to alert the agents to Tsarnaev’s interest in building the pressure cooker bombs he would use to devastating effect at the Boston Marathon. In the immediate aftermath of the Boston bombings, investigators did not fail to note similarities
