Colin Powell says the Occupy Wall Street protests are “as American as apple pie,” and political leaders need to do more than just “scream” at the demonstrators.

“Demonstrating like this is as American as apple pie. We’ve been marching up and down and demonstrating throughout our history,” the former secretary of state said on CNN Thursday night.

Either this is more Politico fabrication, or Powell is more liberal than anyone even believed up till this point.

This coming from the guy that thought 0 was an American.

I am sure Powell was out praising the tea party a year ago and criticizing the media and democrat’s behavior as they demeaned it and made up lies.

Would he think the same if they were camped on his front lawn?

He’s an A$$.

Oh pleeeeeeze!

I think Powell is more out of touch with reality than anyone even believed up to this point.

pro-establishment mobs are what??

Colin is insane.

Powell was a successful beltway-based affirmative action perfumed prince of the pentagon. He mistakenly believes that gave him something relevant to say about the larger world, of which he is blissfully ignorant.

His opinions are meaningless, except as random error.

Powell, affirmative action in action. Dumb as a box of rocks, yet a retired General.

Another Marxist/Anarchist !

Michele Bachmann was a bit less politically correct in her assessment.

“If they understood the heavy price that was paid for that 1st Amendment right, they’d be much more respectful. Because I was surrounded by heroes yesterday on the USS Yorktown who paid a big price for them, and they’re just ignorant, that’s all. They’re ignorant and they were disrespectful, but someday hopefully they’ll come to know the price that was paid for them.”

C. Powell is beginning to make Al Sharpton seem credible.

Hey dufus, OWS is as American as Red Diaper Doper Babies.

I thought his endorsement of Obama was his low point, but he's delved deeper. (I used to be of the opinion that he could have beaten Obama in '08 if he had run against him; but he's clearly in Obama's camp.)

[stump56]

Sad to hear. Every time he speaks, my respect for him diminishes and that is hardly any left.... just checked and nope none left with his latest comment. Powell is just another politician.

[Venturer]

Colon Powell voted for Obama, Need I say more?

Dane Bramage is a terrible thing.
