Am I the only one who is dumbfounded that Colin Powell can minimize Bill Ayers’ terrorist actions and minimize Obama’s obvious alliance with Ayers?
Powell said he was concerned about what he characterized as a recent negative turn of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain’s campaign, such as the campaign’s attempts to tie Obama to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
“I think that’s inappropriate. I understand what politics is about — I know how you can go after one another, and that’s good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It’s not what the American people are looking for,” he said.
Powell, OF ALL PEOPLE, surely knows that Ayers and the Weather Underground tried to kill military people by bombing the Pentagon. Ayers is not a “former 1960s radical”, he is an unrepentant lifetime self-confessed terrorist, anarchist and Marxist. He has repeatedly affirmed this, making no secret that he performed terrorist acts, and simply got off on a technicality due to a botched FBI investigation that produced inadmissable evidence.
People in the Pentagon COULD HAVE DIED. It was only incompetence on the part of the Weather creeps that saved the lives of military serving in the Pentagon. Obama has surely known this for years, or he is an utter fool: take your pick. And he has worked closely with Ayers for many of those years, and they’ve helped each other in many ways.
I don’t expect any better from Obama. And I don’t expect any better from the mainstream media in bringing the full nature and depth of the Obama/Ayers relationship to light, or exploring what it tells us about how a President Obama will rule.
But even though I knew Powell was not a conservative, I honestly thought he was an honorable man. Now I know better. He is a sellout. Not to the black activists of the world, but to the WHITE Left-liberal elite who inhabit the Washington/NY axis, to whose cocktail parties the general wants invitations after Obama wins, and who use the black activists to maintain their power.
Uncle Colin has betrayed all those who could have died by Weather creep terrorist action. I hope the taste is bitter in his mouth when he is alone with his thoughts, and memories. What would those who could have died that day think now, of a former Joint Chief who supports the good friend and ally of the terrorists, for PRESIDENT?
Simply unbelievable.
Al Sharpton had it right, he just had the wrong person identified as the slave owner.
Go on home, Uncle Colin, they have a nice cabin waiting for you if you don’t get too uppity or independent.
