How outrageous is this? Before the last comercial on Aaron Brown's show, he showed a younger Colin Powell in uniform, then showed Condi Rice at a Podium, and was talking about Powell quitting, and said wehn we come back, Next Up. But on the bottom of the scroll it said real big "SWAPPING SPOOKS". What in the world would make them use those words. How terribily insulting. I just can't believe this!

Whoa. I know "spooks" is a term for spies/CIA types, but in this case, this just seems like an astoundingly ill-advised use of slang.

They talking about another subject entirely. Spy swapping maybe?

If they are indeed talking about Powell and Rice, neither of which are spies, then someone's head needs to roll at CNN.

Correction: Someone's BOSS needs to be fired.

"Spooks" is a common term for spies - so the CNN headline was likely referring to the turmoil within the CIA.

Take a valuium.

CNN's leftist elitism does surface on occasion, but leftists watching CNN will only applaud privately.

I'm sure someone has a tape of this, if it really happened. And if it did, they're idiots. Fox will probably talk about it.

Spook is an old 50's racist term for Negro's. It shouldn't surprise anyone, the left HATES succesful conservatives African-Americans.

As long as the Left can keep African-Americans oppressed they can manipulate them as a voting block. Liberalism is the ultimate racist policy.

Sorta like saying "you people" in the wrong crowd. And you gotta be careful about using "boy" as well. Sheesh.

I think Brown showed his mentality on 9/11 - and it hasn't improved since then -

But perhaps - if this is true - it wasn't with his knowledge - I can't believe he would approve of anything like that - having some brains left -

Look at Fox - if you went by just what you see - not one conservative should watch that station - they are propaganda pros for the Left - They do it much like China does - slight of hand -

Relax. It could not have been a racist comment because only Republicans can be racist. Haven't you learned anything from watching the MSM? Now, the same scroll on Fox would, by definition, be racist. See how this works?
