Race is being used to forestall any criticism of Obama. Powell, as always, is the unscrupulous political opportunist, who is now stooping to using race. m/rColin Powell & Obama 'tag-team' on GOP 'intolerance' comments - Shut Up & Blog
1-15-13 -full short post-
Today on the Laura Ingraham Show, Laura raised the question of whether former secretary of state Colin Powell’s comment that there was a “dark vein of intolerance” in the GOP and that Republicans “look down” on minorities was coordinated with the White House.
Laura began by stating that “it seems that Colin Powell’s appearance on the Meet the Press was well-coordinated with the White House, with his dear friend… Barack Obama.”
Ingraham noted that many questioned the timing of Obama’s Monday press conference: “What was so special about yesterday late morning? It was directly within the maelstrom of a news cycle driven by Colin Powell’s ‘dark vein of intolerance.’”
She noted the similarity between Powell’s comment and Obama’s comments during the press conference: “When I hear an African-American president make comments about ‘They don’t like to socialize,’ ‘They demonize me,’ I feel like we’re playing the victim card here, maybe playing the race card.”
“Obama and Colin Powell, that’s quite a tag team,” Laura quipped, “I say dump Biden and put Powell on the ticket. Those two work together hand in glove.”
