The author points out who the real racists are

[Venturer]

Wilkerson dosn’t sound much like a Republican to me. More like a suck butt.

I would love to vote for Allan West, does that make me a racist?

It would have been great if Obama had lived up to his promises and made racism a thing of the past. Unfortunately he did the exact opposite and set back racial relations by 2 decades. His divide and conquer policies are in themselves racist.

If Obama wants to see a racist he has no further to go than to look in his mirror.

Is Wilkerson trying to say that only whites are racist?? If so then he is an idiot as well as a fool.

the former chief of staff for Colin Powell, retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, said, of the Republican Party, “My party is full of racists ... and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin ... that’s despicable.”

No, Colonel - YOU are despicable and a disgrace.

Colonel, USAFR

Why would these guys endorse an obvious far left-leaning friend of Bill Ayers, et al, and especially after Bengazhi, an incompetent “CIC” who’s policies and party have been much more anti-military . . . who seeks to suppress the military vote . . .

If it wasn’t about race?

[ilovesarah2012]

Look at Allen West, Mia Love, Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindal, Herman Cain, just to name a few. I want conservatives - don’t care what color they are or where their parents are from. And I want all people to succeed.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Wilkerson . . . move to Allen West’s distinct, run against him, get Powell’s endorsement (provided he doesn’t break for West LOL)

Then let’s see the post-election demographics voting breakdown . . .care to bet on what it will show?

What is with the ignorantie of the left with their statements that Republicans are anti science? I have been seeing this more and more. Does anyone know the probable source?

[Vehmgericht]

Colon Powell, a major success story of military affirmative action, is a “moderate” Republican who knows about all those racists in the party. I suspect that he discussed this matter when he was partying with Reverend Farakhan. http://www.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1187&bih=534&q=powell+farakhan&oq=powell+farakhan&gs_l=img.12...4017.10936.0.12835.15.10.0.5.1.0.131.1141.1j9.10.0...0.0...1ac.1.j6H3s4h2UkU

I don’t know COL Wilkerson’s race and it really doesn’t matter but I’d say since he made it to O-6, he figured out what PC line he was expected to toe and espouse in order to advance to that rank.

"My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable," Wilkerson said.

It’s become a common meme on the left.
My benchmark lib, a libinlaw, has been using it for a while.

Funny thing, in reading “Intellectuals”, I found out that this was one of Marx’s common “arguments”. His ideology was “scientific”, and anyone who opposed it was “unscientific”.

What we need to do in refuting this claim, especially in a couple of areas they use it in (evolution and global warming), is that the definition of the scientific method precludes their conclusions on these issues.

racist:
anyone winning an argument with a liberal

[jayrunner]

Who cares what C. Powell thinks? I only hope “Don’t Get Stuck on Stupid,”General Honore(probably misspelled) who led the clean-up after Katrina is a conservative.

Wilkerson was responsible for a review of information from the Central Intelligence Agency that was used to prepare Powell for his February 2003 presentation to the United Nations Security Council.

Wilkerson claimed that Powell was misled by Cheney and the CIA’s director of central intelligence, George Tenet, before giving his key address on Iraq to the United Nations, during the run-up to the war.

“He (Cheney) wanted desperately to be president of the United States … he knew the Texas governor (Bush) was not steeped in anything but baseball, so he knew he was going to be president and I think he got his dream. He was president for all practical purposes for the first term of the Bush administration.”

Wilkerson, who left government with Powell in January 2005, worked for Powell for 16 years. He said shortly after leaving office that he was somewhat estranged from his former boss.

No, Colonel - YOU are despicable and a disgrace.

It seems Col. Wilkerson has been a practicing traitor to his country for a LONG time -- getting in the way of his own forces, and divulging classified information whenever his sensibilities were offended.

He's no Republican, either. His supported-candidates list includes the likes of Wesley Clark and Jim Webb. Also Anthony Zinni, another dodgy ex-flag-officer that was floated as a VP candidate for none other than Barack Obama.

Lawrence Wilkerson is a LIAR as well as a traitor and a disgrace to his uniform.

The Colonel is a false flag operative. Why would someone remain a member of a party “full of racists”?

I would say 95% of Blacks are racist for not considering a White Man for President in 2012.

The White Man wasn't racist in 2008 and helped elect a Black Man President.

So, what did this Black Man do to make those White Voters racist today?
