After Obama wins, bigots like this are going to make it their mission to portray his presidency as a failure - Stewie Oct 20, 18:45 11
- "After"? they've been doing so pre-emptively for months now. the douchebag below says he'll set us back "40 years" - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:46 10
  - um, no...I didn't say that....reading is hard. - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:49 9
    - who's going to riot? Who's going to segregate people? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:53 2
      - Apparently you haven't seen Obama's inauguration speech. The phrase "Where all the white women at?" is testing very well in urban areas. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 18:56
      - im still piecing it together, but i think he's afraid of the negroes -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:55
    - so... let me get this straight. if we elect a black man as President, the country will revert to Jim Crow ideals? - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:52 5
      - If we elect some guy who wants class warfare, you will see this place go back because those that have had success will not stay - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:56 4
        
        36 per cent tax - captialism. 39 per cent tax - socialism. - Reagen Oct 20, 19:00 1
        
        that would have made Bill Clinton a socialist too. i must have slept through the riots in 92 -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 19:05
        
        i thought this was about race? now its about commies? i cant keep up. - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:59 1
        
        No, it's about this guy trying to undo American ideals (capitalism). - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 19:03
He was also very classy in calling him "Genital Powell" - BB Oct 20, 18:28
"color" me not surprised -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 20, 18:22
It depends on how it came about, really. If Powell went public with it, it's much different than some media outlet asking him. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:15 32
- I don't see that. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 18:17 31
  - no? the media has no impact? -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:19 30
    - Ir I read what you said properly (please correct me if I'm wrong) - ty97 Oct 20, 18:27 4
      - Yes, I'm saying that it would be the PC response, were he cued by the media. Endorsing McCain would cause an uproar. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:33 3
        
        there would be no uproar if Powell endorsed McCain. -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:49
        
        I see no reason he can't choose to endorse on his own. - ty97 Oct 20, 18:37
        
        do you think it never occured to anyone to ask him until now? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:34
    - it only counts if it's on his show? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:24 24
      - absolutely not--my point is media impact has 100% driven this election. Without it, Obama's "cult of personality" wouldn't exist. - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:31 22
        
        was i foolish to hope the trolls wouldn't make it over to ST? -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:44 1
        
        They let you in, though, so the bar was already low - TWuG Oct 20, 18:48
        
        I like the Biblical reference followed by the balls cut off thing. It's hard to mix a message that much. -- nm - David Oct 20, 18:41 2
        
        Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, testicle for a testicle. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 18:45 1
        
        "A testicle for a testicle leaves all men cringing." -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 18:49
        
        and how does this go towards what motivated Powell's decision? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:34 16
        
        the stage is what is in question...if he had Olbermann in his face, asking whom he was going to endorse, it's a lot different than Powell coming out - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:37 6
        
        Did you just suggest that Obama supporters don't know who Condoleezza Rice is? - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 18:48 2
        
        dont you know? all liberals are festering idiots who have no clue how great things are under W. -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:50 1
        
        Signed, the scary, scary people in those YouTube videos. -- nm - David Oct 20, 18:55
        
        "if they know who she is in the first place" are you for real? you really think the "Obama crowd" doesnt know Rice? -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:48 1
        
        I'm a proud member of the Obama crowd. I know who Condi Rice is. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 18:51
        
        And Powell would have had the option of no comment - as Rice has done. - Reagen Oct 20, 18:39
        
        Easy. Powell saw the media lining up behind Obama and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to turn out at rallies and he decided - TWuG Oct 20, 18:35 8
        
        Couldn't he have, oh, I dunno... said "no comment" and not given an endorsement to either candidate? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 20, 18:37 7
        
        I think that would've caused an uproar. One of my profs was married to a guy working for Powell years ago, and Powell's wife didn't want him running - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:42 5
        
        an uproar from whom? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:43 4
        
        the African American community and probably the media as well, seeing as how in the tank they are for Obama -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Oct 20, 18:45 3
        
        so the fact that he hadn't said anything until now and no one had criticised him in the slightest doesn't register? - Reagen Oct 20, 18:47
        
        "Powell Endorsement Watch: Day5! Colin Powell still has not endorsed Barack Obama! Why?! What the fuck is wrong with the man!? More after the break" - TWuG Oct 20, 18:47 1
        
        L4! -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 20, 18:54
        
        He could have. He chose not to. Is he obligate *not* to endorse? No, so why not endorse the person he sees as the most fit? -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 18:39
      - wait, I misunderstood. but still. - Reagen Oct 20, 18:28
I knew someone would say it, but didn't think it would be him. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 18:14 11
- how would it not be him? He's the designated lightning rod. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:24 4
  - This might sound odd, but I thought him above it. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 18:28 3
    - the only thing he's above is his ideal weight. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:29 2
      - and, ah, this isn't my best thread - Reagen Oct 20, 18:30 1
        
        the irony post from earlier is keeping your daily average up, don't worry -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 18:31
- the real funny thing is with Rush, wasnt he and some others swearing backward and forward they wouldnt get behind McCain several months ago? nm - Jovian Oct 20, 18:21 5
  - oh yeah, I forget if it was msnbc or TDS that did before and after quotes where they all just talk out both sides of the ass - zeitgeist Oct 20, 18:29 3
    - the Rove stuff pre and post Palin is the best. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 18:35 2
      - "He was just the mayor of Richmond..." "She was the mayor of Wasilla!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 18:36 1
        
        that was some of the best Daily Show bits in a while... -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 18:39
  - he swore that McCain was going to ruin the Republican party. Two weeks later McCain was a genius. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 18:26
