Rush Limbaugh Sticks the Knife In Colin Powell’s Back »

Posted By capj71 1 year ago in News

1 of 1

Right wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh wasted little time sticking the knife in Colin Powell’s back after the general endorsed Barack Obama this morning. Limbaugh claimed in an email that, “Powell's move was very much related to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president." Obviously, this is what the GOP means by the slogan "Country First."

    FTA:
    Limbaugh claimed in an email that, “Powell's move was very much related to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president."

    Limbaugh just said what they all think, and proves that they have all been bigots through this whole process.
    You should see what some of the ex and current propeller members are saying on another site, full racist rants.

    Rush, Ann, and fox news are part of the problems we have had in the last 8 years. It's past time people just stopped listening to them.

    Too bad for Rush. When Obama is sworn in as President he will have to close his racist air waves and find a real job.

    May be a white house janitor! How about cleaning toilets after black people have used it, SIR? That will bring you some wisdom to be a better human being!

    They should have left the pimple on his a$$ alone. It was better than what remains of him now. It would have been better to remove him from the pimple and put the pimple on life support rather than the other way around.

      Yeah, I am sure that Powell's decision has nothing to do with the fact that Cheney and Bush ruined his political career. They made a liar out of a good honest man. And now they are throwing him under the bus. A man who gave up his conscience in loyalty to party now is villified by that very same party.

      Sad.

        Rush Limbaugh Sticks the Knife In Colin Powell’s Back »

        Rush a self proclaimed Nut case was a Major supporter Of NAFTA, which, he now denies? He also was a strong supported of the war in Iraq which caused the lives of over 4,000 Americans?

        Colin Powell is an exceptional Man, his endorsement of Senator Obama again shows the wisdom and concern he has for all Americans.

        McCain is a 26 year Corrupt Politician who may be in need of some serious mental health examinations. His choice of the self proclaimed DOG with lipstick proves how poor his choice of a VP candidate really is.

        Colin Powell and Obama is the very best choice Americans have in the coming election.

        Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat substance abusing idiot. He couldn't carry Colin Powell's socks.

          The "Bum's Rush" had another medicated moment to trash another great American--No surprise there, but some day "Medicated Rush" will sober up and smell the coffee---Hopefully, Obama will be elected by then, and even the Rush can appreciate a New Day in America!!

            RACISIM = POINTING OUT OBAMAS LACK OF EXPERIENCE...A KNIFE IN THE BACK = POINTING OUT THE TRUTH...YOU GOT TO LOVE IT. RUSH JUST ASKED TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS. AND IF WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS RUSH USING DRUGS, THEN WE NEED TO THROW IN THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS A DRUG INDUCED PAST AS WELL.

            and so do Bush and so do McCain, and Palin is obviously on something. Let's stick to the issues. Who has the right prescription for a better America? I think the people will speak clearly on November 4th.

              Let me ask Rush this. Where was Obama when Powell treaten to resign as Secretary of State two years into his term? This has nothing to do with Obama being the first man of color to have a legitimate chance of becoming President, it helps, but it's not the sole reason. More than anything, it's a way for Powell to atone himself from the GOP party that ruined his outstanding Military record with the invasion of Iraq. Having him lie to the American people about WMD when there was none. Then sending him to Israel to be made to look like a fool pushing Bush's maddness. Now Colin Powell finally has spoken. To hell with the GOP Party, and good riddance.

              Rush needs to become educated. That way, he wouldn't have to make his living by making false claims to illiterates who will never get any of the millions he's making. Why you guys follow false prophets is beyond me.

                We'll be hearing from Condoleeza next. The Republican Party is going to be exposed for what they've become. They've tried to dismiss comments by Scott McClellan, and now Colin Powell. Smart people would start adding things up, instead of trying to prove truth to be a lie.

                Why did Drug Lamebaugh get divorced 5 times?

                The answer, I suspect, is about one inch long.

                You think about it, that explains the oxy cotton addiction and the chickenhawk bravado.

                Watch the movie "W" and then think about it
                For years people blamed Germans for following Nazzi party, blindly. Ooops doesn't that look like Republicans today?
                With how many knives on your back you are still walking?
                Finally, we are broke, people don't have money, how many of you republicans make over $250,000? How many of you who write these bull makes over a million, I bet none, but you vote against youreslf for benefit of that 1 percent that just partied away your 401-K. You rather destroy the country for the party! What a crock of ****!

                  Following phony soldier Rush's "logic" every endorsement any White guy gave McCain is obviously also nothing but racism.

                  I suspect Rush himself is a racist. Don't know this to be so. But after listening to General Powell tell how he agonized over his decision, and explain how he felt about John McCain as a friend, to jump to this lunatic conclusion suggests that everything to do with Powell and Obama is running through Rush's race filter before getting to the part of his brain where speech is formed.

                    Read into it any race factor you want, but I applaud Powell's decision to vote for the best man regardless of the party affiliation. I don't agree that Obama is the best man but I applaud Powells decision. We need more people who vote for the man and not the party.

                      zerObama is THE fking drug user! He smoked pot and snorted cocaine for years before he finally wised up. Rush became addicted to painkillers because of serious physical problems. ZerObama IS a socialist. I guess all you arrogant LIB fkwads don't get your noses and your a$$es wiped enough. We're all looking at the future of the United Nanny States of America. Hold on to your guns and you wallets. I can't wait for the zerObama to tell us we need to make reparations for slavery, and oh, guess what??? He also wants to pass an 800 BILLION dollar poverty program to give to the poor nations of the world...as if we don't give them enough already. Welcome to the "Robin Hood" society...steal from the rich, and give it to the do nothings. Oh, you're POOR......get an education or learn a skill, and get a JOB, like everyone else you slugs. The tax laws were created to pay for the operation of the government, not to fund every wing-ding social program the fking LIBs are frothing at the mouth to impose on the rest of us. Can anyone say....INCOME REDISTRIBUTION? Why don't all you fking LIBs move to France, and let fans of smaller government and lower taxes run our own lives. We don't need BLOWHARDS like shmoe Biden telling us it's PATRIOTIC to pay more in taxes. THAT is the most IGNORANT thing I've ever heard in my life. That marxist/socialist you have running for president will fuk things up for sure. The only satisfaction I will get out of seeing that lying liberal lawyer getting elected, is once he is there, he will show all YOU morons you were wrong.

                      Well, we did just pass a $700 billion dollar bailout to help the rich. Isn't that socialism?
                      //////////////////////////////////////////////////...
                      the idea was to bail out the economy of the entire country. since the g7 got involved, all the millionaires in europe are the only ones benefitting too? I guess by your logic, the entire country is rich. are you ignorant, stupid, or you just don't read the newspaper or watch tv? most republicans didn't LIKE the idea, but went along with it because SOMETHING had to be done.

                      ignorant & stupid doesn't describe us, bikertrash...

                      you are spewing exponentially ignorant statements with each new post.

                      what the republicans have been doing in their relentless pursuit of deregulation of the financial markets has created an economy where the rewards of success (and the profits of greed) are privatized, while failure is socialized.

                      YOU TOO ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY. not only for the economic bail out, but we are all going to have to pay back china for the loans bush & mcsame acquired to fund the war in iraq.

                      don't you get this???
