Obama czar Rattner:Colin Powell
feels ´hostility´from GOP

Oh those racist Republicans.  Did you know that they´re hostile to Colin Powell because he´s black? Yup, just ask former Obama car czar Steve Rattner.  The Morning Joe regular today claimed that poor Powell "feels this hostility toward him from the rest of the party in part because he´s a minority." Really?  Colin Powell feels hostility from "the rest of the party" because he´s a minority?  The Colin Powell for whom so many in the GOP were clamoring to run for president in 1995-96?  The Powell who actually won the 1996

Comments:
This is on Scarborough´s show. Just a couple of weeks ago, Scarborough claimed he doesn´t watch MSNBC after 9 am. Yet he allows blatant race baiting on his own show.

Wow. Just think how unfulfilled the Left would be if the world was inhabited only by light skinned people.

If privileged Colin, elevated by the GOP to near-presidential status, is feeling hostility it is because he has gone over to the other side. He may have done that because he is black. But to those betrayed, his being a traitor to a cause - his using for political power a cause he really didn´t believe in and support and torpedoing it at every turn - has nothing to do with his skin color.

Search your own soul, Colin. The answer is in you, not us.

The fact that bowell stood silently by while Scooter Libby was maliciously prosecuted by Fitsgerald surely did not have any bearing on our dislike and distrust for bowell!

how convenient to have an excuse to fall back on whenever faced with opposition.

How pathetic for grown man, who has had so many advantages in his life time to revert to such common excuse.

I feel hostility toward Powell because he is behaving stupidly. Thank you Rattner (great name btw) for pointing out that Powell is black, are we supposed to cut him some slack for that?

So says Mr. Farakhann´s best buddy.

Powell is an anti-semite. Picture is worth a thousand words.

How is it the GOP´s fault that Powell feels that way? Can anyone control how someone else "feels"?

It seems more like Powell is suffering from paranoia or VWRC delusion.

Years ago...I wanted Gen. Colin Powell to be elected US President on a Republican ticket since I felt he really was a moderate Republican. Now I feel like he wasn´t who he said he was...since he has vigorously supported Obama-Biden´s election and then re-election.President Obama is a radicalized progressive leftist liberal that says he is a Democrat but really a far-left social-democrat at that.

he hates whites and himself because deep down inside he knows he only rose so high because of his color and affirmative action. if he had been allowed to rise based on color blind ability he would not have this buried self hate.

Powell was the worst SOS ever to preside over Foggy Bottom.

He slow-walked President Bush´s drive for a UN vote on declaring Iraq in violation (for the umpteenth time) of the terms of the truce following the Iraq War I.

He chased after the chimera of France´s hints of a favorable vote to no avail, losing many months which allowed Hussein (their Hussein, not ours) to ship incriminating materiel to Syria.

He didn´t lift a finger to cajole Turkey into allowing our 4th Mechanized Division to invade Iraq from their territory on the northern border of Iraq, creating a lightning-fast pincer movement.

He bears primary responsibility for the agonizing slow conclusion of our Iraq campaign.

Powell is just one more reason to prove the country is lost. When an affirmative action, politically correct and nuanced person is appointed as General by congress, the Pentagon will not hesitate to order US troops to fire upon US citizens and civilians.

I don´t suppose giving his full boot licking support to an undocumented domestic enemy in the White House would cause any hostility. Instead we should applause the Presidents efforts to disarm us, bankrupt us and hollow out our military, empty what´s left of our treasury for redistribution to his corrupt supporters and turn our children into tax slaves. In other words we should all become Pro Obama anti American democrat zombies like 99% of Colin Powell´s people.

It looks like powell has some deep seated resentment because of being advanced by his skin color rather than his character or abilities. He should be smart enough to realize the source of his discontent lies within the purvue of his newly adopted political party, not the GOP.

That´s right. We´re all raaaaaacists.
But somehow we forgot to direct our racial hostility to Condaleeza Rice, Justice Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and other black folk who haven´t devolved into black victimology.

Why should we expect "Cash for Clunkers" and GM Buyout Rattner to have a sensible thought in his pointy head?

So people like Allan West, Clarence Thomas, Michael Faulkner, J.C.Watts et al are welcomed in the GOP because they´re...white?

No Colon (intentional misprint), we don´t like you because you´re an Uncle Tom for your race and, like the old Yellow Dog Democrats, would vote for a Black Dog Liberal no matter what his ideology, just because he is black.

Colin Powell is a liberal with combat ribbons, an opportunist who doesn´t know his curtain came down an eon ago and who won´t get off the stage.

No one except the MSM is interested in his opinion any more but he thinks the country is still blinded by his competence as a military man, which is lately in question.

Obama can´t run again and the dems don´t have a viable black to take his place. So Powell is setting the stage to leave the ´racist´ Repub party and declare himself a dem. The msm will pick up on this and float his name for pres. The low info dems won´t even know he was a turncoat repub and vote for him same way as they voted for obama.

The political left is despicable. They lie, cheat and steal in order to get elected. Impugning the reputation of their opposition is their speciality. In my experience as a Republican who has attended all types of meetings of like minded folks, there has not been racism amongst them. The main priority of Republicans now is to return to fiscal responsibility and the rule of law (the Constitution). The LEFT has no shame; the ends justify the means ala Karl Marx; despicable isn´t a strong enough word for them.

Rattner (WELL NAMED) is wrong, Colin Powell was given lots of slack and wrongly deserved credit because he is black, he is feeling hostility because he is a dirty back stabbing scum bucket! The only racists in this game are the liberal/socialist useful idiots.

Rubio Stares Down the Right
Over ´Undocumented Democrats´
National Journal, by Tim Alberta    Original Article

Marco Rubio was not amused. The senator from Florida had listened patiently as a panel of hand-picked conservatives, lined up across a long table at the front of the room, took turns speaking about the prospects of immigration reform.(snip)Referencing a Jay Leno one-liner, Burgess questioned fellow conservatives about the wisdom of giving citizenship to "11 million undocumented Democrats." Laughter, some of it nervous, spread throughout the room. But not everyone found Burgess´ crack funny. According to several people who attended the June 5th gathering, Rubio glared at Burgess.

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Gang of Eight member Bob Menendez advised Republicans to accept legalization status for current illegal immigrants if they ever want to see another president from their party. “I would tell my Republican colleagues — both in the House and the Senate — that the road to the White House comes through a road with a pathway to legalization,” the New Jersey senator said on State of the Union this morning. “Without it, there’ll never be a road to the White House for the Republican party.” Menendez also warned of triggers on border security

An employee of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) president Grover Norquist and a political ally of “Gang of Eight” member Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) believe groups opposed to the immigration bill pending in the U.S. Senate are "nativists," Breitbart News has learned. ATR’s Josh Culling and Hispanic Leadership Fund (HLF) president Mario Lopez will make the argument on a conference call with mainstream media reporters on Friday at 11 AM EDT. Brad Bailey of the organization called Texas Immigration Studies will join them on the call. “As the momentum behind immigration reform continues to

Senate Says No To Border
Security-First Amendment

The Senate has rejected an amendment to the Gang of Eight bill calling for a “border security first” approach to immigration reform. A motion to table the amendment, which was authored by Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and previously defeated in the Judiciary Committee, passed 57 to 43, largely on party lines. The measure would have required the Department of Homeland Security to demonstarate effective security of the southern border for six months before illegal immigration are granted legal status. The Gang’s proposal would provide legal status before additional border security measures are measured or implemented.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc has in recent months been only hiring temporary workers at many of its U.S. stores, the first time the world´s largest retailer has done so outside of the holiday shopping season. A Reuters survey of 52 stores run by the largest U.S. private employer in the past month, including one in every U.S. state, showed that 27 were hiring only temps, 20 were hiring a combination of regular full, part-time and temp jobs, and five were not hiring at all.

Democrats terrify Hispanics into thinking they’ll be lynched if they vote for Republicans, and then turn around and taunt Republicans for not winning a majority of the Hispanic vote. This line of attack has real resonance with our stupidest Republicans. (Proposed Republican primary targets: Sens. Kelly Ayotte, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio.) Which explains why Republicans are devoting all their energy to slightly increasing their share of the Hispanic vote while alienating everyone else in America. It must be fun for liberals to manipulate Republicans into focusing on hopeless causes

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan
