Everybody expected Colin Powell to endorse Barack Obama today, on the teevee, and guess what? Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama! Considering Powell’s professional and political service, it’s maybe not so surprising that he’d prefer the sane, thoughtful Obama to the unhinged nut McCain. After all, Powell had his happiest time in Washington working for the first President Bush, and the first Dick Cheney, too! (That was the Cheney who, while still a racist right-wing dick, was still involved enough in reality to know you don’t go topple Saddam and occupy Iraq.) Anyway, enough of the “analysis.” Let’s get to the Webnuts and their usual response to another Republican bigwig endorsing that African Communist Nazi City Slicker!

As usual, in these challenging times, we go to the Free Republic site, which is both hilarious and terrifying, because good lord, what are these people going to do after Election Day? Anyway, enjoy the wit and wisdom of our nation’s enraged white underclass:

* I’m not surprised that Powell has endorsed a Chicago street thug over a real American hero either. “How ‘bout some ‘blow’ General? Then we’ll go help ACORN register some more ‘voters’.”
* This is why you don’t let traitors in your midst. They are capable of doing far more harm than good.
* Clown Powell showed us his true colors with his endorsement of this communist weasel. He just spit in the face of the military he supposedly cares about.
* It’s all about Powell’s racism and everyone knows it
* Well, there goes the Muslim vote!
* Possibly less about Colin’s leanings than his wife’s. He’s always struck me as someone without bearing.

1. "He just spit in the face of the military he supposedly cares about" Really?

Funny, I just watched a CNN clip that says Obama has received more donations from deployed troops than McCain. About six times more!! Even Ron Paul received more from deployed troops than McCain. Freepers live in a different universe than the rest of us.

2. That particular line was moronic coming from a McCain supporter.

McCain didn't support the GI Bill because he thought the troops would get too 'spoiled'. I guess having an education and decent health care is too much to give a troop that could very easily give their life. :eyes:

3. McCain has to live with his PTSD, so everyone else should, too, damnit!

5. What are you - anti-troop?

Don't you know that people join the military because they all want to go to war? It doesn't matter if it's a just war or not - all wars are just on our side if we are in them! People join the military so that they can get to kill the enemies of humanity, and if we don't have wars we are keeping our troops from living out their deepest desires! All Good Americans want to kill evil foreigners!

Jeez. I can has new race? I am so over white people and I am like the whitest of the white, practically translucent even.

This election has to stop. Right now. I yelled violently at my grandmother over ACORN yesterday. I am now abusing the elderly. I swear to god I am blocking Fox News from her TV next time I am at her house.
