Cartoonist depicts Colin Powell as Benedict Arnold in blackface.

Cartoonist depicts Colin Powell as Benedict Arnold in blackface.
A new cartoon by syndicated cartoonist Gordon Campbell hits Gen. Colin Powell for endorsing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). The cartoon shows a picture of Revolutionary War general Benedict Arnold — who infamously committed one of U.S. history’s greatest acts of treason — in blackface, followed by the line: “Benedict Powell…Race Patriot“:
Politicker reports Campbell also stated that Powell “wishes to see someone who looks like himself in the White House.” Similarly, Rush Limbaugh is now saying that Powell endorsed Obama only because they are both African-American, and a prominent Maine GOP activist claimed, “If Obama was a white man, Powell would not have made the endorsement.”

It was only a matter of time before the wingnuts demonized Powell and used the “only because he’s black” as their primary rationalization for Powell’s whole hearted rejection of all things McCain.
Keep fannin’ those fires of hatred, bigotry and racism, GOPers! “Real” America needs to see how low you’ve sunk.
PEACE
October 20th, 2008 at 10:25 amTypically racist GOP bullshit!
Anyone with a shred of common sense knows that Powell is endorsing Obama because they have the same kind of genitals!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:28 amIt’s time for agencies who usually rate financial institutions, states and localities to downgrade the GOP to junk status. Then we should move to change “GOP” to MOB and seek their proper placement as a washed-up third party. The GOP has no business being a major party at this point and participating in debates on the major networks.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:29 amPowell had to know this was coming.
It’s horrendous, just the same. People used to do this sort of thing in private — now it’s out there are all to see.
What gets me is that they seem to be so proud of their racism and ignorance.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:30 amWelp, let the flood gates of hate and bigotry open!
For Rush, and Campbell, and trolls galore, remember, it was Powell who was thrown under the GOP bus after 2004 for not following lock and step with this administration.
Powell has alot to atone for, but he did realize the error of his ways.
And he was crucified by his own party.
This is NOT about race, but about change.
Something the right can never comprehend.
It’s about the people, the citizens, the country.
It is NOT about the rich getting richer, and more power to the powerful.
8 years out of touch is 8 years too many!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:31 amThe core-haters still hate. They’re just better at covering it up. Until close national elections role around…

October 20th, 2008 at 10:31 amOh and where’s the superimposition of Lieberman’s face on Benedict Arnold?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:32 amHow about a cartoon of Joe Lieberman with negative stereotypical physical characteristics…?
====
October 20th, 2008 at 10:36 amGot racism, repukes?
And if you’re trying to make a point, doesn’t ANYBODY on your staff actually know how to use photoshop? You could have actually put his face there, instead of just showing a Black Arnold!
Why don’t you try for a Black Pope next time.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:36 amIs that why Condi isn’t out there beating the drum for McCain? Give me an effing break.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:36 amWhile American’s respect for Obama keeps growing, our Country’s dissatisfaction and fear of the Republican party does the same.
Dumbshit stunts like this only speed ‘end times’ for Republicans.
Colin Powell / Secretary of Defense?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:38 amWhen is George W. Chymp going to endorse Alfred E. Neumann?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:38 amOr cheetah from the Johnny Weismuller movie set?
I would say it is time for well-respected white republicans to begin stepping up to the plate on this one. There are many of them, I am sure, who are equally dejected about the utter implosion of the republican party and its crash into cynical, irresponsible, negative and divisive demagoguery.
I agree that Powell probably knew the “it’s because he’s black” BS would surface. Actually, that makes his endorsement all the more compelling. If he were a pragmatist and concerned only with himself, he would have refrained from endorsing anyone.
Chuck Hagel, where are you? It is time for you to get this ball rolling!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:41 amI guess they were just flaming us…
Now someone should flame them with a cartoon showing Bill Ayers burning a Confederate Flag.
Come on. We all know what the hell the opposition to Obama is all about at its core. It’s racism but it’s not only racism.
I can say no more in this venue.

October 20th, 2008 at 10:42 amoh yes, please do continue to keep riling up black folks…it will get more of them into the voting booth..
October 20th, 2008 at 10:43 amThis is as stupid as something Michele Bachmann would do…and that’s pretty stupid!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:44 amHere we are again where Obama, the Dems and his supporters ALL need to step up and call these wing nuts out on this baloney.
All anyone had to do was to look at Palin the wrong way and the faux outrage became, “Obama, his supporters and Dems are sexist!”
But the MSM and Dems allow the Rupubs to get away with racism and sexism whenever it does not politically benefit them.
The Dem leaders need to stand up to this just as vigorously as the Netroots do.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:44 amThe sweet irony of their reaction is that it is a perfect example of the rhetoric and divisiveness that Powell used as part of his rationale for choosing Obama.
Great job you friggin’ idiots!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:47 amBecause the racist pea-brains cannot fathom anyone not accepting their “truth” they project that no one would not consider race in important matters. They view everything through their bigoted prism, so they believe everyone else does also.
The fact that these cretins claim the broadcast and print media as their own, proves there is no god.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:47 amOnly Republicans can vouch for Benedict Arnolds.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:47 amAs Powell stated on MTP, if the only factor in making his endorsement was race, he would have reached his decision 16 months ago.
People accuse African Americans of voting solely on race, but it’s healthy and normal, whether you’re republican, independent or democrat, to vote for the whitest skin on the ticket just to maintain tradition — and openly make that intention known.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:49 amZimzone Says:

I think Powell’s time has passed, especially after the UN/Iraq presentation. He will be an elder statesman, and unofficial adviser to President Obama, but I’m thinking Hagel as SecDef.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:49 amSilly me. Here I was, thinking that a cartoon was supposed to be funny…
October 20th, 2008 at 10:50 am…
…
The Racism of the image is more than a little shocking.
Soooo, Gen. Powell is “Benedict Powell…Race Patriot” simply for having an independent mind and endorsing Sen. Obama?
NICE! Me, I think he explained his selection succinctly. Imagery like that says a lot about the cartoonist.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:51 amZooey: People used to do this sort of thing in private — now it’s out there are all to see.
Well here’s something to think about.
The Dems hammered the Republicans by 3-1 on average in the caucuses and primaries.
Obama has beaten McCain in new voter registrations by wide margins.
Obama is scoring very well with Independents.
A minority of Clinton supporters will vote against or not at all.
So, the odds are good that the popular vote will be significantly in favor of Obama, which will send a significant message about racial attitudes.
That would put the spotlight on racists. The GOP’s dependence on, and exploitation of, racism will be very well illuminated.
Of course that won’t mean the ‘end of racism’ but there can be some considerable good that may come out of this national “dialog” .
October 20th, 2008 at 10:51 amWell, if that’s the way it’s gonna be…
The only reason Rush Limbaugh has endorsed McCain is that he and McCain’s wife both have a history of drug abuse.
The only reason Newt Gingrich has endorsed McCain is that they both dumped their first wives after these women became inconvenient to their husbands’ lust for power.
The only reason George W. Bush has endorsed McCain is because McCain’s VP pick makes W look like Einstein.
The only reason Joe the Plumber has endorsed McCain is because…oh wait — his name’s not Joe, and he’s not a plumber…
This could go on and on, but of course it won’t — because we’re not like that in America, dammit…

Yeah, the catoonist should have drawn a noose around the neck of the guy in blackface. Now that would have been funny!
October 20th, 2008 at 11:01 amPowell’s first mistake was thinking that republicans shared his values. Then he lived it with them for most of his life.
He’s really just another lee attwater or george wallace.
It is funny to note that you never hear of a deathbed conversion or renouncement of life activities from progressives. It only comes from the right who know they are doing wrong and do it anyway.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:02 amRush Limbaugh is now saying that Powell endorsed Obama only because they are both African-American,
I thought Colin Powell was Jewish.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:04 amThe only difference between the candidates is the color of their skin? Endorsing a candidate is just like treason?
This goes way beyond merely racism. This sort of thinking is what they mean by ‘a danger to himself and others’, what padded rooms were designed for.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:10 amIn metropolitan areas, where as Bill Maher said the other night, IS WHERE THE VOTERS ARE, children today go to school with others of every color and think nothing of it. The Republicans with all this hate mongering are guaranteeing the next generation will not be Republican.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:22 amRacism is a barrier the GOP will never overcome. They may have a black secretary of state like Colin Powell first, then Condoleeza Rice, a front or cover to make people think they are not racist. Deep inside they are extremely racist.
Drug Rush Limbaugh’s outbursts of a racism are nothing new. These people are totally against progress.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:23 amA better assertion is that everybody voting for McCain must be doing so because he is white.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:25 amThe Republican party is certainly showing itself to be just as racist as ever. All these nasty, rascist ads, comments, attacks by McCain supporters, lies by radical right-wing pundits like Limbaugh, etc., show how little progress, if any, the Republicans have made in respecting others.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:37 amI’m curious. If they attack Powell and call him a “Benedict Arnold” because he happens to black, supporting a black candidate, then what do they call me, a business owner who happens to be white voting for said black candidate?

stoopid fuking repugs!
October 20th, 2008 at 11:45 amCountry First?
October 20th, 2008 at 11:49 amIt’s obvious the GOPers care nothing about the repercussions of their actions. Black/white relations have been on an uneasy calm since the 60’ s-70’s but that could change if the race baiting keeps up. I was very young when the 67 Detroit race riots occurred but I grew up with the aftermath…not good but relatively peaceful. Prejudice and hatered work both ways among the ignorant and there is certainly no lack of ignorance out there. Are the GOP tactics enough to reignite racial tensions to the point of “spill-over”? Lets hope not. (I’ve heard rumors of riot gear arriving in major cities however.)
I’m sure many of you caught Bill Mahers last show. Bernie Sanders made an excellent observation stating something along the lines of “there are millions of people who believe an Arab terrorist will inherit the White House if Obama wins”. Sad but true. I can’t imagine what might be going through the heads of the very ignorant. Some of my hope lies in Obamas ability to bring the country together.
BTW- As I write this I’m listening to Palin screech her way through a speech- even bringing up “Joe the disgraced plumbers helper” a number of times. Like listening to nails on a chalkboard. This followed a McLame rant…all to the chorus of-USA,USA,USA…
(This link is kinda funny if you missed it last night.)

BTW- on the burned-out topic of Joe. Joe will probably be getting a physical a$$ kicking atop his verbal one sometime in the future. Those Local 50 boys aren’t gonna like what Joe pulled. Pretty ornery bunch those local 50 boys and girls. RETRACTION on some previous posts. The individual/company Joe works for apparently is licensed and has every right to conduct plumbing business- union membership notwithstanding.

October 20th, 2008 at 11:51 amIt’s actually rather instructive to see just how free these racist scum feel themselves to be in the midst of this racial death-grip hold they have on the election.
Frankly, even if McCain won by a landslide, I don’t think that genie would be going back in the bottle any time soon.
Palin has really liberated these folks to let their race hate free.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:54 amThe GOP seems to have forgotten its own slogan, “Country First”. They always seem to choose racism and division and party loyalty.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:55 amSnagged off Wonkette (snagged off some freeper site, and this is the mildest comment) in reference to the Powell endorsement:
* As a white blues guitarist here in NY City I too have seen reversed racism.”
Ummm… “white blues”? As in My Stock Portfolio Gone Done Me Wrong
Oh I guess he means he means can’t get no rerpec’ as a white guy?
I don’t suppose he’s ever considered that maybe he completely sucks? (I don’t recall the Rolling Stones, who aren’t even American, let alone AAm having a problem).
October 20th, 2008 at 12:02 pmGOP racism comes to the surface again…
To think that Gen. Powell would pick Obama only based on race is flat out ridiculous. He assessed both men ,their records and their poliicies…and he made an intelligent decision based on that information. If he thought McCain was a better candidate and better equipped to run the country he would have endorsed him.
The not-so subtle racism of the GOP is disgusting!!!!
October 20th, 2008 at 12:08 pmSO all the “respect” those guys had for Powell – was phony in the first place, because phony is all they got.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:14 pmDoh!!! You’re obviously one of them thar socialists.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:16 pm#48
Not sure about that one 5th Estate. It’s kinda hard for a white guy to gain acceptance in the black blues scene. (This comes from a long conversation with blues great Jimmy Thackery and others whom attempted it.) But your point is well taken. If your good enough skin color is forgotten. Kinda like a black guy trying to make it in the business world having hurdles to contemplate.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:20 pmThe hate, vitriol and sense of self-entitlement that the right wing has, is deserving of a strong kick in groin November 4th.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:23 pmThat’s right Rush Limbaugh – it’s all part of the 30-year conspiracy you mentioned last week, by angry blacks.
It’s wondrous just how racially divided this country STILL is. And it seems to take moments like what we’re witnessing currently, to illuminate this fact. There’s clearly a problem here that needs to be aired out and squashed – if that is even at all possible – otherwise, I fear that, a time will come when hatred across racial lines will lead to certain violence and more…
October 20th, 2008 at 12:30 pm‘Race Patriot’? WTF…
Between this and ‘Obama bucks’ the lulz just keep coming. The Red team has NOTHING to run on. 9/11/01 is getting stale so they have to go back to blatant racism.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:32 pmOn the other hand, it grosses me that Obama says Powell will have a role in his administration. This–combined with Obama’s vote for the Cheney energy bill and the FISA spying bill–convinces me Obama is basically a neocon.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:32 pmYesterday and in response to Colin Powell’s decision to endorse Obama, John McCain responded by saying that he got the endorsements of ex- Foreign Secretaries Henry Kinninger,James Baker,Alexander Haig and others…
Why didn’t anybody accuse these ex- Secretaries of States of being white racists for supporting McCain? !
Colin Powell gave his good and compelling reasons why he is endorsing Obama,but these critics ignored all his reasons and simply accused him of being a racist.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:34 pmTo these critics, why go over the reasons Powell gave,when they can simply call Powell a racist.
We can only hope the tactics used by the republican party forever dooms them to a disgraced history similar to other U.S. insititutions.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:35 pmLet their party lie alongside slavery, jim crow, anti-affirmitive action, anti-equality, and The House UnAmerican Activities investigatiion.
Theirs is a party of dead ideals and hopefully will be gone from the landscape of American opportunism and equality. Both of which still have to be achieved but never will under republican rule.
Let it rot and fester forever in it’s own hatered.
I am quite certain Colin Powell knew exactly what was coming his way when he decided to endorse Obama, and he did it anyway. I think it would have been more shocking if the hacks weren’t rolled out to spew this predictable invective.
Notice also, not one of them contradicted what he said, it was all about the color of his skin. It is almost sad to watch the GOP these days, they’re through and they don’t even know it yet.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:51 pmHey, lookie here.
The Detroit Free Press endorses Obama
Please, OxyRush, ignore the facts presented withing the article, and just lambaste the paper for employing “them thar blacks”.
Mucking forons!
October 20th, 2008 at 1:05 pmFrankly, I think it’s great when the right wingers voice their hate and racism. Get it out in the open for all to see. Let the younger generation, including Republicans, see the face of hate. Kind of like inducing vomiting to get the poison out of the system.
October 20th, 2008 at 1:20 pmNo bottom to the slime pit that is the GOP, people.
No bottom at all…
October 20th, 2008 at 1:21 pmThese are signs of conservatives losing “control” over their supporters/followers, (like a cult).
The Conservative ideology has shown itself to fail all but the very few wealthy elite. It turns out that these following loyalists are beginning to learn it is about the few and not about Americans. You still see some closed minded hateful McCain supporters on the campaign trails. That cannot break that in which they have been endoctrinated through rearing and fear.
The notion that Colin Powell would endorse Obama because he is black is a preview from those that hate Americans of difference as a functionary method to deal and resolve issues.
Most of all…
If Rush feels Powell endorsed Obama because Obama is Black,
Rush might consider Powell endorsed the white half of Obama?
******************************************************
Maybe then Rush and his ilk can sleep at night.
With America loosing sleep over the failed conservative economy. It is nice to know that the elite conservatives are loosing sleep over Powell’s endorsement.
As Imus was scrutinized over his racial incitings. So should Rush with his racial slurs.
Rush, haven’t you always endorse white people? Why can’t you grow out of your bigotry?
October 20th, 2008 at 1:22 pmThe racists are coming out of the woodwork and it is time to start taking names. And to think, they like to proclaim how “pro-America” they are. It is more like they are pro-Confederate States of America.

Sounds like you were planning to vote for mccain all along to me.
October 20th, 2008 at 2:59 pmEasy there, Fred…he just made a comment that a lot of us have thought, including myself. I think Powell has tarnished his reputation with Bush/Iraq taint, and won’t be part of any Obama’s formal team. I also didn’t like Obama’s vote on the renewed FISA bill. Neither of those things make me consider voting for McCain, nor do they mean I’m forgetting Obama’s overall superiority as a candidate. We don’t have to be in lockstep do we/ Isn’t that a Repug trait?
Perry was just stating an opinion. I’ve been in his shoes before, being called a neocon troll for stating an opinion.
Obama ‘08!!!
October 20th, 2008 at 3:08 pmWhere’s the outrage god knows we heard plenty when MoveOn made the play on words with the Betrayus ad
October 20th, 2008 at 3:11 pmThe reality is, if Obama was white, this contest would not be close. Look at how much damage the Republican Party has done. Imagine if it was Obama who had left his first wife when she wasn’t as thin as he liked? Imagine if it was Obama whose wife was a former longtime drug addict who stole drugs from her own charity? Imagine if it was Obama who finished near the bottom of his Naval Academy class, and McCain who finished with high honors from Columbia and Harvard Law.
What if it was the black candidate who acted so erratic and strange (suspended his campaign, then not actually suspending it, almost calling off the first debate, flip-flopping on his positions almost daily, etc.), especially in the debates, and it was the white candidate who was calm, collected, and thoughtful. The white candidate would probably be leading by more than 25%.
That’s why it amazes me that the right-wingers pretend like the guy with the black skin has it so easy. It’s clear Obama has had to work even harder to gain respect because of his skin tone. He’s had to be far and away more intelligent and reasonable in order to gain support from many people.
October 20th, 2008 at 3:58 pmAs a woman, one might expect me to support the McCain/Palin ticket because there’s a woman on it. The only problem is that Palin is an idiot, she’s woefully unqualified for the job she’s running for, and her position on virtually every issue is diametrically opposite from mine. Yes, I’d like to see a woman in the White House someday, even as veep. But she must be someone who is qualified for the office and who will make the country a better place.
If I require more from a candidate than genitalia that matches mine, is it too far-fetched to believe that Colin Powell might require more from a candidate than skin color that matches his? Obama happens to be the better candidate, regardless of ethnicity. Powell is just going with the obvious here.
October 20th, 2008 at 4:54 pmIt’s a caricature, nothing serious. Don’t get angry about a caricature. That’s what radical Muslims do. ;-)
October 20th, 2008 at 8:22 pmColin 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”.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:10 amThere are white conservatives backing Obama also, so what reasoning do you have for that? We don’t question when a white man endorses another white man. I have the greatest respect for Colon Powell and all the reasons he gave were very sound and well thought out. How can anyone earning $35,000 or less possibly vote for McCain? You will get very little income tax back, if you are lucky enough to have health insurance, it will be taxed and in turn raise your premiums. He has said very little about affordable education, and he will try to stay in Iraq until he dies. He offers me nothing. Last but not least, he and his partner will keep racism alive and does not care about anyone making less than $250,000 a year. He has never lived in my world!! We will not do anything positive for this country.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:53 amSo G.W. Bush is black too?
October 21st, 2008 at 2:13 pmOnly in America can you get away with something so disgusting; a man who has sacrificed so much for our country to be so publicly disgraced is ashame. I would like to know the papers that would publish such a disgusting item. Mr. Campbell is well within his right as an American to say what he wishes but who would support such garbage. I love the article it linked to where Campbell stated “In my opinion he is voting for him becasue he is black” So you are calling him a liar; he told you, very eloquently I might add, exactly why he is voting for him, but Mr. Campbell doesn’t believe him. My guess is that he never even heard Mr. Powell’s awesome endorsment.
