Colin Powell on Sunday blamed the media as well as the Tea Party for the divisive political tone in Washington.
Not surprisingly, neither the class warfare stoked by President Obama and his Party nor the resulting Occupy Wall Street movement was mentioned during this seven minute interview with Christiane Amanpour on ABC's This Week (video follows with transcript and commentary):
SNIP
POWELL: They compromised -- the Founding Fathers compromised on slavery. They had to in order to create a country. They compromised on the composition of the Senate, of the House, of the Supreme Court, of a president -- what are the president's powers? Can you imagine more difficult compromises today?
Compromise is how this country was founded, and unless two people in disagreement with each other don't find a way to reach out to one another and make compromises, you don't get a consensus that allows you to move forward.
But the Tea Party point of view of no compromise whatsoever is not a point of view that will eventually produce a presidential candidate who will win.

Colon Bowell ban KMA.
I think it is media, black politicans and Democrats/Socialists/Communists/Unions causing this.
Speaking of warfare Colin, where are those weapons of mas destruction you told us about? Or did you have your head up your rear back then too?

Hey, Collin - you Obama-kissing scumbag, its not the OWSers who are “divisive,” right?
F*ck you and your sorry ass! The tea partiers are far better than you’ll ever be.
Take your new tone and stick it where the sun don’t shine!
I second that!
Dang. Bad enough that FR’s servers are hosed. Then I go and post with a misspelling.
ban = “can”
And mine!
It makes me sick that this idiot Powell got credit for the great work that Norman Schwarzkopf did in spite of Powell.
Powell is an freaking moron, heck, the traitor voted for ... Obama, that tells you all you ever need to know about this idiot.
Bozo Colin Powell obviously supports the Harry Reid definition of “compromise”:
“When there is a disagreement on policy positions between the parties, the compromise approach will always be the Democrat position”.
The truth of the matter is that Harry Reid is correct. How do I know? It’s simple, I read all about in the NYT.
When you compromise with people who are insane, you end up with positions that are just partially insane.
Not surprisingly, neither the class warfare stoked by President Obama and his Party nor the resulting Occupy Wall Street movement was mentioned during this seven minute interview with Christiane Amanpour...s/b "Not surprisingly, Powell never mentioned the class warfare stoked by [Zero] and his Party nor the Occupy Wall Street astroturf which has no interest in compromise, or even taking a bath or a job."
If it is as POWERFUL as Powell says AND the President on down continues to rest blame on the TEA PARTY ALONG WITH the Media--then the POWERFUL TEA PARTY should TOSS IN their own candidate and it should be a no contest. After all they have ground down government to a stop.
If you broke down each group/person who blames the TEA PARTY FOR HAVING TOO MUCH INFLUENCE into each unto their own premise + find in total agreement would = the conclusion. Isn't that how it goes?
After all they all blame the BUSH years, therefore; it is Bush's Fault.
Well, if Colon Blow thinks the Tea Party is wrong, we know it’s right.
That said, Powell very much exemplifies how deeply entrenched race consciousness is within American blacks. Obama is the enemy of much of what Powell swore to defend in America, but it seems more important to Powell that Obama is half black.
There are many, many groups in the US that have never had one of their own elected to the presidency, including Jews, Italians, Asians, etc. Why is it that a black president is such a priority for some people? I thought we were supposed to look far beyond race.
Powell is a first class racist. He voted for Obama merely for the skin color. Obama, Powell and the rest of the liberals are the dividers but then point fingers at everyone else. Sorry, Powell, but you and your liberals are the primary problem with this country.
The only reason Powell is going after the TEA Party is because they are affective against his liberal agenda!
once and asshole.....
