Powell Thinks GOP Should Respond To Limbaugh's "Outrageous" Comments

[mathewkader]

limbaugh is a fag chicken hawk..it is amaizing how hannity on his radio show claims that he is a great american and how limbaugh is supporting the military and how bush is a hero yet all of those were chicken hawks who never serve the country...fuck faces

[glsgreg]

well, jee, I thought everything was going so good now that we have change?

[caucazhin]

Uncle Obama & Colins American Babylonian cabin are serving their white globalist new world order masters of deception quite well arent they ???

[phantomox]

@caucazhin New World Order? fuck off idiot.

[aztecboxer69]

y isnt powel our president

[HateGovernment]

Powell is a wimp.

[easymoneynch]

Powell is full of it!

[Chriseycarlyeah324]

why was this man not president?

[buddywill50]

Larry King is an idiot

[cozyfoxstudio]

Yeah the Government grew. That's what Powell calls Bipartisanship. So you feel that way and vote for Obama. Does that make any sense? Sorry general but you lost me.

[koolguy97]

im 17 and white i dont plan on ever voting but if colin powell runs ill go out of my way to vote for him

[brandnutopian]

I'm a Democrat I think you should vote regardless. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

[koolguy97]

to be honest with you all those guys do no care about You or Me after the election. And also i am Republican because democrats cut out the middle class.

[brandnutopian]

OK, I'll bite. How do you think the Democrats responsible for "cutting out the middle class"?

You do realize that Republicans are the party that propose and pass tax cuts to the wealthy. Republicans are the ones that have tried to dismantle Social Security. Republicans are the ones who have fought against the gains made by labor unions to raise wages and provide safe work places. Republicans are the ones the falsely claimed Iraq had nuclear arms and sent lower & middle class kids to war.

[Redcarpet01]

@brandnutopian Clinton signed NAFTA, that's helped reduce your middle-class with all those jobs lost, etc

[brandnutopian]

@Redcarpet01 That ball got rolling before Clinton even came into office. The original U.S. signer of NAFTA was George H.W. Bush, not Clinton. There were also more Republicans than Democrats in congress who ratified the treaty. I admit that it hasn't worked out for US jobs as it was thought to, but this is hardly a partisan issue. Once again, it's corporate politics and that's coming from both sides of the aisle. At least Dems have a contingent of pro labor sopporters.

[Redcarpet01]

@brandnutopian Clinton signed it. And he only gave the National Labor Board 24hrs to read it before he signed it, in violation of the US Trade Act, etc.

[brandnutopian]

@Redcarpet01 Since when do Republicans give a shit about Labor? Half the assholes on that board represent mega-corporations. They were probably too drunk to read it anyhow. And it still doesn't change the fact that G. W. H. Bush signed it first and that more Republicans voted it through congress than Democrats. Clinton's a douche, but the Bushies are fucking scumbags.

[darsal123]

Limbaugh was the cause we don't have a good president now! all the idiots went against Huckabee!

[tonylee1973]

Powell doesn't pay taxes

[charms71]

really? Good for him!

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Limited effective Government? Colin Powell endorsed Obama knowing he was going to spend more money like crazy?

[tonylee1973]

Colin Powell covered up the awfull Mia Lia slaughter. He put foreword the lie that Iraq hyad WMDs for the neocons. The man is a coward. And no we do not "homeland security" at the expanse of are civil liberties. He does the bidding of oil corporations for his friend prince Bander. Go away Colin Powell. You are a coward and a killer.

[WU36RICK]

he said don't go into Iraq. Gosh get your facts straight. it was Dick Cheney (AKA MR.KBR look it up) who wanted to go and insisted that we do and shut out Colin Powell's opinion. The ignorance going on in this country is disgusting people just taking sides letting politically motivated so called experts give them their facts cough cough i mean opinions.here is some good advice. go do some research and when your done ask the question why and do some more.

[tonylee1973]

I know colin powel was against it. i just wish he was louder. why didn't he quit and say out loud that cheney's cabal had planned this war a long time ago. I agree with you on the ignorance in our country. it is dangerous how uninformed our public is now. it seems their ability to think independently and logically is gone. they turn on a television set here someone say something and take it as fact.

[WU36RICK]

wow a real informative response there is hope!!! just kidding. but its good to see people who try to understand every side and every argument before taking sides. i understand your frustration the way this country is really going and im not talking about policy im talking about the lack of real progress. how a one side can come up with good idea only to be shot down cause the other didn't come up with it first. the lies that are told believed and the facts that get disregarded.

[qerrtre]

@tonylee1973 THANK GOD

IVE SPENT THE PAST HALF HOUR ONE POLITICAL VIDEOS AND I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE INTELLIGENT

woooo i was losing hope for a while

[tonylee1973]

I think Powell should have acted like a man at the UN and not lied to the world about WMDs in Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead because you are a moral coward Colin Powell.

[charms71]

he didn't have the complete info. Bush, Rove, Cheney, Tenet, etc didn't disclose everything with everyone. Powell had 2 respond 2 orders which is "present evidence of WMD's" just like A. Stevenson did during the cuban missile crisis. If he is a coward, what about Bush and the others? Your argument is good but slanted...We cant cherrypick.

[tonylee1973]

a lot of people in the cia were dissenting. bush and cheney and libby and rumsfeld and wolfawitz and Biden and especially Harry Ried as well as Hillary Clinton and Dodd are all moral cowards as well. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are men with moral courage.

[JohnnyRock2000]

Colin Powell was used by the Neocons. He was given a big truckload of bullshit to dish out to the world as truth. The world didn't believe a word, but America (and American media) being less critically minded, ate it all up. In a way, Colin was a patsy for Israel.

[imtang0708]

Colin Powell is the last of the REAL, TRUE Republicans! Unfortunately, too many idiotic, moronic Americans THINK they're Republican like Limbaugh giving the Republican party a bad name! If you cant afford a political science class, you shouldn't be able to vote or claim to be Republican when you have no idea what a REAL Republican is!!!! If you're broke and under educated, YOU'RE NO REPUBLICAN!!!!!!

[MYFreeSpeach4U]

what about the 6 trillion in the last 4 months

[Howlinblind]

We do not want Homeland Security

[mjk2374]

I agree with almost everything Genital Powell says. The problem is the Genital's candidate is nothing that the Genital speaks about in this clip.

Rush is an entertainer. He would be bland if he wasn't over the top. Look at Howard Stern. Would he be popular without being over the top?

[hiphoprepublican]

Conservatism is a preference for the existing order of society. An opposition to all efforts to bring about rapid or fundamental change. A belief that existing economic and political inequalities are well justified and that the existing order is about as close as is practically attainable to an ideal order.

[TheNilesLeshProject]

Very well expressed HHR !

Rightwing is the status quo & Leftwing is regime change

There has been a meme driven into the american collective mind : Republicans stand for tax cuts for the rich and Democrats stand for free money for the poor.

This meme is more useful to manipulate the masses than any actual discussion of fundementals or principles.

This reduces the american public to a paradigm of rich and poor.

Now its just amtter of dangling an apple($) and watch the people chase it

the right doesn't support hip hop

[slicbro]

fuck hip hop. And fuck you

kill yourself bitch

[hiphoprepublican]

Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, where the head of state is appointed by other means than hereditary, often elections. An important element of Republicanism is constitutional law to limit the state's power over its citizens.

[hiphoprepublican]

One other note while conservatism has had a home in the GOP, its original home lay with the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans who morphed into and are the direct ascendants of the Democratic Party. People like Powell called centrist or moderates actualy have a long virbant history in funding and founding this party. Powell and Rush are Republicans and there differnce shows the diveristy and sharp idelogical schisms within the party, but thats been the case since the begining of the party.

[hiphoprepublican]

The party was a party that stood against slavery because it easily recognized the obvious evil of human enslavement, but also easily recognized the potential of industry to transform the nation towards progress and to end the inefficient slave driven agriculture of the south. This would have the potential therefore, to not only do a great good for a people suffering injustice but also to possibly lead America down a path of modernization and prosperity never before seen before.

[hiphoprepublican]

The GOP started on the ideals of pragmatsim and modernization not simply "tax cuts" it sought to modernize the country by supporting higher education, free homesteads to farmers, free soil policies against slavery, banking, railroads, industry and cities.

[hiphoprepublican]

Limbuagh is confusing "Republicanism" with Conservatism. The two are not the same thus the conflict. Limbuaghs suggestion that Powell leave and start another party could equaly be asked of Rush. Conservatism is a school of thought under the umbrella of Republicanism, but so are many other schools of thoughts.

[Churchx77]

No.

[paulgwj]

If colin powel ran for president, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

[marcabela]

@paulgwj,

My recent viewpoint (for what it's worth)... is:

"I do not want a president no more"

No more Bush, Obama, no more Colin. None. Enough. Let me be the Rosa Parks of the 21 century. Enough.

[paperattack]

Race Hustler. Powell votes on skin color lines.

[cedarpose]

Powell no matter what you think of him is a patriot. To me he sounds more like George H.W Bush then his son, George W. Bush who hijacked the repuplican party with a laundry list that the American people rejected on November 4.

[readyjojoy]

Powell you had all the respect until you voted and endorsed a fraud for president of the USA.

[trancewe]

Which President are you referring to? If you mean George W. Bush then I agree with you. Something tells me that is not what you meant.
