Why do Republicans hate the troops?

Gallagher is not intelligent enough to hold a Dick and Jane conversation with Powell. Like his cohorts, all he does is rant and rave about other achievers. He quickly jumps on whatever the controversy of the day is. A couple of years ago, after hearing him go ballistic about Americans who did not agree with Bush and his actions in Iraq, a caller confronted him. He said disagreeable Americans were unpatriotic. She asked Gallagher why his able-bodied sons were not in Iraq like other young men their age. He became so incensed he hung up on the caller. A week or so later he announced that his sons had appointments with recruiters to enlist. Gallagher came back another time with excuses for his sons not following through with their enlistment goal. He threw out a list of illnesses and afflictions his sons suffered: high blood pressure and ADDD, to name two. One of the unenlisted sons went on to get married. He proudly announced that one of them was going on the Murray Povich show for a makeover. To date neither of them have gone to Iraq to prove they love America. Oh, yeah when another caller demanded to know why Gallagher himself hadn’t enlisted to serve in Iraq. Again, he saw red and said he was serving his country being on radio to confront Democrats like her. He said only a Democrat would ask such a question. What a pathetic loser.

Colin Powell was George Bush’s most trusted advisor. He sold the war in Iraq to the American people and the U.N. Selling Barrack Obama should be a “slam dunk”.

Boycott wingnut media. If this is a “marketplace of ideas” then it’d be wise to ignore the people trying to sell you crap sandwiches. I know a lot of people who can use jobs who are far more qualified to do theirs than they are.

Al Campanas Lives!!! Blacks don’t have the “intellectual capacity….”

At some piont, we need to stop giving people who truly lack “intellectual capacity”, a public forum in which to spout their idiocy.

Let the racists come out of the woodwork and expose themselves for who they really are, whether it is Rush Limbaugh, George Will or Mike Gallagher (whoever he is). Maybe we can be rid of them once and for all.

When they get trapped into acorner and see the fate that is in front of them these rabid far right talking heads get uglier and uglier.

Powell is one of the smarter people to ever work for this country and for this radio hack to say he doesn’t have the intellectual capacity is more a reflection on himself.

This man is the scum around the drain.

I think this is good because now we will see who the real racists are in the media. One by one, we will see the true racists reveal themselves to the world and destroy their credibility. So far, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan, this Mike Gallagher (who is he?) have outed themselves. I suspect that over the next few days we’ll see people like Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and others bring up the race card, saying that Powell endorsed Obama only because he was black.

To his credit, McCain himself, has not said this. Unfortunately, his quest for power has blinded him as he allows the same people who destroyed him in South Carolina in 2000 with dirty smears, to now do their dirty work on Obama. It’s sad but true: power and money corrupt people.

Ironic that these morons who say it’s about race are the biggest racists of all; but as usual, real racists have no clue and no honesty.

It’s exactly what the Obama campaign wants them to say.

But Smerconish? Really?

Gallagher then suggested that Powell might not “have the intellectual capacity to, you know, make a distinction and realize the difference

If you’re going to sit on your ass for a living, you might as well not open your mouth and remove all doubt of your stupidity.

This idiot says “Powell might not have the intellectual capacity”? A Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? Multiple degrees? Reagan’s National Security Advisor? Is he insinuating that a black (wo)man, no matter his/her education and experience, can’t make an informed decision, that he must refrain from endorsing one of two of the major party candidates just because he’s black, even if the better candidate just so happens to be black?

If the McCain camp hadn’t turned so nasty these last few weeks, Colin, I’m sure, would have leaned toward endorsing him, and that’s why he waited it out until he had the information he needed to reach a decision. He made a good case.

Powell (and most if not all African-Americans) would certainly greet a ‘black’ president.
There’s a valid and non-racist reason/excuse for this; a ‘black’ president would offer hope and motivation for many more than an Eurasian president could ceteris paribus.

Powell’s speech and endorsement was convincing enough without consideration of race, though.

TP, you missed something in the transcript: I really do believe that there are people like Colin Powell and Michael Smerconish and Kathleen Parker who are enamored and in love with the concept of a black man being president of these United States.

See, that’s the real reason Kathleen Parker said that mean stuff about Palin: it’s because she’s “in love” with the idea of a Black President. Especially a dirty liberal abortion-loving, tax-loving, family-hating colored president. She’s just too stupid to understand that.

radiodujour Says:
I regard him as a tragic figure in history.

And because of your false claim that Obama is getting all his donations from Wall Street in an earlier thread today:
I regard you as an idiot

Go away troll, come back when you have some facts.
