Rush Limbaugh is the slime bucket of the GOP. He and Sean Hannity. Colin Powell didn’t rise as far in the ranks of the military as he did by showing racist favoritism. The U.S. military has come as close to eliminating racism as any institution in the modern world. Colin Powell’s professionalism and dedication to his country are untouched and unmatched by few in the ranks of either major party. If he chose to endorse Barack Obama, I can assure you it wasn’t because of race.
Colin Powell was used by the rightwing nutjobs who now hold public office - primarily George W. Bush, his sidekick Dick “Mutley” Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld - to sell their lies to the UN and the American people. That alone is enough to make any reasonable and self-respecting Republican of any race to switch parties no matter who the running mate is. Colin Powell is just one person in a long line of Republicans to have abandoned their party and endorse Barack Obama. I suppose all those white Republicans did so because Barack is black as well, right?
Rush Limbaugh has as much sense as pharmaceutical abuse. And the effect he has on the American system of politics is about the same. No wonder he pisses people off.
