FUCK YEAH!

*goes to watch video*

OH SNAP! I thought it was an awesome, well-stated endorsement. The Islamophobic GOP just got told.

Freepers are already denouncing Powell because they think he put racial solidarity before country. LMFAO. I think their heads are exploding.

He must have known this was coming. This is EXACTLY the right-wing fuckery he was denouncing.

No big surprise but it only serves to prove the General's point, imo. Maybe Colin Powell will get out there on the campaign trail ... and start further denouncing how the GOP tends to treat respected, intelligent people like himself ...

So they're just proving exactly what he was saying in the first place. Sad.

I was so happy about what he said about Muslims. It's really disgusting the amount of hatred spewed toward them and the misconceptions about their religion. Even people I would deem otherwise intelligent have said anti-Islamic things to me that they truly believe because of some of the brainwashing done after 9/11 by certain groups. It's very sickening and I'm so happy he said something.

COLIN POWELL >>>>>>> JOE THE FAKE PLUMBER

I loved the bit about how a 6 year old Muslim kid should be allowed to think that maybe he could be president, too.
