McCain has immediately countered this endorsement with an endorsement of his own:

TALLAHASSEE, FL -- The McCain-Palin campaign today announced the endorsement of Mexican-American soap opera actress Katie Barberi.

Thank You General Powell for saying out loud what I have been waiting 4 someone of Your stature to say 4 so long. So what if someone is Muslim, Arab, Asian, Buddhist or whatever. So what is someone is not 100% Caucasian or Christian. There Is Only One Human Race, We Are All Pink On The Inside, We Are One. The divisive hateful nature of the McCain/Palin Campaign must come to an end. United We Stand but divided we fall & ultimately fail.

Sir, I stand & salute You!

Get Out & Barack The VOTE!

one of the best interviews I've ever seen on TV. thank you mr. Powell.

@ThePalinPatriot How very un-christian of you. Judge not and love thy neighbor remember? WWJD?! The Power of Love Always Wins over hate and fear. Peace, love and balance.

[ThePalinPatriot]

@sngrmnsthsm Blah. Blah. Blah. Go eat dirt, you commie, socialist liberal.

[sngrmnsthsm]

@ThePalinPatriot ~Why is it that Corporate Bought and Owned RepliCONS think they have the patent on what's patriotic and what's not? So you think it's patriotic to be a hateful bigoted racist? Well guess what, that's Not OKay anymore. The sooner you realize that there's only one human race the sooner you will find peace, love and much needed balance. Peace and Love. We Are The 99%!!

[ThePalinPatriot]

@sngrmnsthsm You're obviously not a true American.

[ThePalinPatriot]

I feel I speak for most Republicans when I say "GET OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW, OLD MAN POWELL!!!" You are an embarrassment to us. If we're so "right-wing" and "narrow," then switch your party affiliation, Stupid!! True Republicans don't like RINOs...which is what you are. Sarah Palin has 15x the brains you have.

When people are in Scientology, they don't have choices. Sea Org members are unable to leave, because they will be declared a suppressive person if they do. Members who have family critical of Scientology are forced to ex-communicate them, and as a result, one mother has not seen her son in over 30 years. The Church of Scientology is an abusive organization that controls its members, breaks up families, and harasses its critics. This has nothing to do with beliefs.

Thank you for this post! I admired Gen. Powell even more after his resignation. It showed me his integrity and the hard decision he had to make to do so. He put away his pride and was the only one that took responsibility for his mistake! He choose his good conscience/love for his country BEFORE his political career. I don't understand how ppl can disregard his YEARS of service so easily and yes as an insider, he knows a whole lot more than we do...

There is no way that Colin Powell would agree with a radical extremist liberal/socialist like Barack Hussein Obama, not the Powell I knew. Powell is angry and frustrated. Americans love their country first and above all. They cannot let it down!

And you fucking garbage extremists, keep dreaming...Obama president? That's not gonna happen! You could always go to Cuba via Venezuela and live there and have a taste of your dream country, and tell us what it is like. Fidel will love to have you.

[WashingtonianO7]

Fidel Castro NEVER said he was a socialist/Marxist until he succeeded and took control of the country, and then it was too late to be sorry. Spread the wealth?, economic justice?, the Supreme Court failed to re-distribute the wealth among black people?, Has a wife ashamed of her country?, He is a member of a racist, hate-America church? will negotiate with Hamas and terrorists countries? Obama wants to destroys the system that maintain the "white people" in power. God help and bless America

The man to be president, the great General, I am sorry for him.

Go fuck yourself Powell is a hero and the pity of a useless loser like you is not something he needs
