A Children’s Treasury of Wingnut Responses To Powell Endorsing Obama

Condi-Colin '08!Everybody expected Colin Powell to endorse Barack Obama today, on the teevee, and guess what? Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama! Considering Powell’s professional and political service, it’s maybe not so surprising that he’d prefer the sane, thoughtful Obama to the unhinged nut McCain. After all, Powell had his happiest time in Washington working for the first President Bush, and the first Dick Cheney, too! (That was the Cheney who, while still a racist right-wing dick, was still involved enough in reality to know you don’t go topple Saddam and occupy Iraq.) Anyway, enough of the “analysis.” Let’s get to the Webnuts and their usual response to another Republican bigwig endorsing that African Communist Nazi City Slicker!

As usual, in these challenging times, we go to the Free Republic site, which is both hilarious and terrifying, because good lord, what are these people going to do after Election Day? [Eat more? -- Ed.] Anyway, enjoy the wit and wisdom of our nation’s enraged white underclass:

  • I’m not surprised that Powell has endorsed a Chicago street thug over a real American hero either. “How ‘bout some ‘blow’ General? Then we’ll go help ACORN register some more ‘voters’.”
  • This is why you don’t let traitors in your midst. They are capable of doing far more harm than good.
  • Clown Powell showed us his true colors with his endorsement of this communist weasel. He just spit in the face of the military he supposedly cares about.
  • It’s all about Powell’s racism and everyone knows it
  • Well, there goes the Muslim vote!
  • Possibly less about Colin’s leanings than his wife’s. He’s always struck me as someone without bearing.
  • Oh please….he’s black and he is endorsing one of his brothers…just too obvious. It’s not hard for the everyday American to understand.
  • Planet of the APes mentality..”Monkey supports monkey”..
  • Before this election, I treated blacks as individuals. I was wrong. They are a clan.
  • Is it ok still to say “white sheet?”
  • The McCain campaign should take Powell’s $2,300 campaign contribution and throw it out on a busy street. Watch the hounds jump all over the bills and take that “welfare money”.
  • Look, it’s Powell Diddy!
  • I just saw the video. Somebody should toll Powell that yes, it IS a problem if a Moslem becomes President. The Constitution is not a suicide pact!
  • “blacks are the most racist group of people in the USA.” And the most ungrateful.
  • I wrote this on Malkiin’s site: The Presidential Tyranny of Obama, these coming years, will hit all hard, and tragically. None will be spared, none will thrive. But of those hurt the most, it will be urban blacks (and hispanics to an extent). Among them there is no real sense of community, they will fight each other most viciously, the murder rate — already high — will skyrocket as groups fight for dominance. That is speculation on my part — and not an outcome I wish! I pray to G-d we will elect McCain.
  • As a white blues guitarist here in NY City I too have seen reversed racism.

    Poodles are the black man of the dog world.

  2. “Monkey supports monkey” “Is it ok still to say ‘white sheet?’”

    The only appropriate way to read FreeRepublic is with Godspeed You! Black Emperor playing at a low level in the background, with a clown crying in a corner. He is crying.

  3. WagTehGod says at 11:59 pm, October 19th, 2008

    It’s amazing how all these neopawns that adored Powell shifted into “Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia” mode the minute he shows independent judgement. He’s a traitor or someone shilling for his race, and we always thought so!

    Jeebus, the FREEPers make the Paultards well adjusted.

  4. tonehedge says at 11:59 pm, October 19th, 2008

    The good commentators of freerepublic.org *(the Palin & McCain loving cunts) are just a tad dissapointed with the General.

    To be fair, that future sounds kind of fun. RIOT!

  6. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 12:01 am, October 20th, 2008

    Free Republic is a misanthrope’s wet dream. I am severely tempted to open an account and try to outdo the paranoia of that guy who posted on “Malkiin’s” site.

  7. stephie4 says at 12:01 am, October 20th, 2008

    After reading those statements, I am going to call my mom and ask her to come over and tuck me in and give me some milk and cookies. I am convinced that I just had a bad dream and there are racist, republican monsters hiding in my closet and under my bed.

  8. Mista Eko says at 12:02 am, October 20th, 2008

    “Monkey supports monkey”? Really? Was there a “50 years ago we’d have Powell upside-down with a fucking fork up his ass” that Ken missed?

  9. Head Spinner says at 12:02 am, October 20th, 2008

    Wankers. This is why I don’t like white people and there aren’t many with less pigment then me

  10. qwerty42 says at 12:02 am, October 20th, 2008

    Always refreshing to hear the voices of the real patriots. And to answer the question, yes, you may always say “white sheet” (these would be unlike the yellow, stained ones you are probably prancing around in). Hope this helps!

  11. Melanomas are an invention by the blacks to kill John McCain.

  12. WhenTheMessiahComes... says at 12:04 am, October 20th, 2008

    OMG…the angry whites are really running scared…ummm brb my fried chicken is done, and I need to cut the watermelon in to triangle shaped pieces!

    Damn! *goes back for kool-aid*

    For the love of Mary…I don’t know how much more of this I can take, please Nov. 4 hurry the hell up!

  13. Prof. Junk says at 12:05 am, October 20th, 2008

    The irony here is that most of the conservative Republicans who are supporting McCain don’t like him that much either, but have been too fear-mongered into believing that Obama is some kind of terrorist sleeper-agent to dare say anything critical against McCain.

    I mean, remember the Republicans for Hillary movement?

    I’d also cite Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” here, but the point of that became lost once Rush kept changing the objectives after-the-fact to reflect whatever the outcomes were.

  14. tunamelt says at 12:07 am, October 20th, 2008

    I plan on eating at Roscoe’s Fried Chicken and Waffles on November 5th and then drinking two forties of Colt 45. Just as a fuck you.

  15. I can’t imagine why Powell would have wanted to distance himself from such keen minds.

  16. Everybody knows Liberman’s endorsement of McCain is also race-based. Why would you vote for someone who’s a different color? It doesn’t make sense!

  17. vigilante says at 12:13 am, October 20th, 2008

    Colon is genuine shit who was Bush’s shill at the UN to lie our once great country into war again. Obama is another complete fraud who has protected Bush from impeachment and indictment for war crimes. The Obama lovers are burying America. They are controlled by the media propaganda.

  18. villageatrois says at 12:15 am, October 20th, 2008

    Does anyone remember when Colin Powell would have been nominated for President by either party? And then he read the Bushanalia talking points about WMD in Iraq to the whole world. He was a loyal soldier, and that is why he can’t be President.

    So, now he’s a retired guy. Maybe loyal citizen?

  19. WagTehGod says at 12:16 am, October 20th, 2008

    tunamelt: Damn I miss Roscoe’s.

  20. Fucking white people.

  21. vigilante: You left out something about the Jews who control the banks.

  22. villageatrois says at 12:18 am, October 20th, 2008

    spencer: “Jewbanka” was just a Star Wars character.

  23. RubberSoul says at 12:25 am, October 20th, 2008

    villageatrois: Those are reasons Powell couldn’t run for president, but the main one is the dude is OLD now! He’s 71. Who the hell would vote for a 71 year old for President?

  24. I still don’t understand why people say those hateful, hateful things.

  25. vigilante: Colin Powell didn’t lie at the UN — he just presented farcical, invented evidence with a straight face. This is negative fallout from a military career — obeying orders, even when you know they’re wrong.
    Obama protected Bush? There was never any chance that Bush would be impeached or indicted for war crimes. By the time enough people hated Bush, it was clear that he would be out of office soon enough.
    Move on.

  26. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:30 am, October 20th, 2008

    vigilante: I’m really surprised Powell doesn’t get the Vigilante vote. He is, like you are, misinformed by those surrounding him, leading him to make bad decisions.
    I WANT SOME POLICY BITCH. Gimme some ‘o dat sweet Nader policy. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

  27. Ilikepigeons says at 12:30 am, October 20th, 2008

    vigilante: Colon the outfielder? you are a confusing vigilante man.
    Do you mean Colin as in Powell?

    Hooray for the Rays!!!!

  28. Ilikepigeons says at 12:33 am, October 20th, 2008

    spencer: And if you read the NY Times tomorrow, you will see that
    McCain’s melanoma is back and it is black.

  30. magic titty says at 12:35 am, October 20th, 2008

    You all remember in ‘04 when 90% of blacks supported John Kerry and they were a dirty racist clan because of it? Ahh, yes. Those were the days.

  31. Ilikepigeons says at 12:35 am, October 20th, 2008

    villageatrois: I am switching my account to Jewbanka. I don’t think
    Paulson bought that one yet.

  32. Weeping Jesus says at 12:35 am, October 20th, 2008

    I really believe China has one good policy: you breed when we tell you it’s okay to breed. For all states below the Mason-Dixon line, the limit should be zero offspring. Except Florida, since those living corpses are past the age of fecundity. I really have to remind myself that the intolerant ones and the bigots are actually a minority - at least, I have to convince myself they are.

  33. gurukalehuru says at 12:36 am, October 20th, 2008

    Colin Powell, tired of being an object of derision and contempt from the left, decides to become an object of derision and contempt from the right.
    Good for Colin Powell!
    (he’s still a war criminal, though)

  34. Of course, those posters are disgusting. But let’s be fair and retell how the left portrayed him years ago as a sellout and Uncle Tom. To leave out that side of the story is unfair and unbalanced.

    Cicada: Too many accordions for my taste. They’re unsafe at any speed.

    Who the fuck are these people?

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:50 am, October 20th, 2008

    vigilante: I declare WAR on you motherfucker. I want you to be banned, not only because you aren’t funny (you don’t even try), but because you never even say anything of substance. Eat a dick, now. Please come at me with some Nader policy, of which there is none, at all, ever. Just seat belts and retards like you.

  45. I’m surprised nobody has pointed out that he’s clearly in the tank for Obama.

  46. Weeping Jesus: Hey, fuck you! I need you to name me one place in America that hasn’t had race riots, bigoted cops or otherwise fucked up assholes. Can’t? No, you can’t!

    As an Atlantan, where the black people even live among us and not in special neighborhoods, fuck you.

  47. magic titty says at 12:55 am, October 20th, 2008

    I don’t have a problem with vigilante:
    I just don’t understand why he thinks spouting ignorance on a platform for fucking Ralph Nader would do anyone any good. Come on, dude - Ralph Nader?

    You don’t like the two-party system, fine. But your solution is the alleged policies of Ralph Nader?? That’s just not good enough.

  48. tunamelt says at 12:56 am, October 20th, 2008

    amy amnesia: you in LA, let’s do this bitch.

  49. wavingnotdrowning says at 1:01 am, October 20th, 2008

    Those racists are like George Will without the thesaurus. His first Powell response today was “It just be a black on black thing, and don’t forget Jessie and Al!”
    Which means, I guess, Condi Rice and Michael Steele will be the next GOPers for Obama?

  50. I am so afraid for my country…. No attempts at funny snark here..

    These fuckwads and asshats really scare me. As a white man i knew that there were racists out there, but I was fairly certain that they understood that their beliefs were a minority opinion and it was no longer acceptable to share them in public in most locations and when it did rear its ugly head, people with common decency from all races would try and quash it. That is no longer the case. In fact, racist attitudes have been cultivated and fertilized in order to create fear and distrust in order to gain a political advantage. This is nothing new in American politics, but it has never been seen on the national stage before with the level of violent language and actions.

    There are some among these dickweeds that will not take well to losing this election. Seeds have been planted in their minds by Palin, McCain and Fox news, ACORN seeds to be exact, that there is a nefarious plot to steal this election. They will react violently. There will be attacks on people who are of color an d those of us who sport Obama or democratic stickers on our cars.

    This fear will not stop me from supporting Obama, voting for Obama, canvasing for Obama, and will not stop m from having Obama stickers on my vehicles and Obama signs in my yard. These fuckwads will not further destroy our democracy, not if I can help it.

  51. Oh the comedy! The Onion couldn’t do any better.
    I love this one: “Before this election, I treated blacks as individuals. I was wrong. They are a clan.”

    So basically, to this commenter, it turns out that all ni66ers are the same! They’re racist! I’ll bet that before the election the commenter treated them all as individuals. Individuals that should watch their step and not get uppity. White people have never acted like a clan, btw. I mean, white folks spell it with a K, so.

  56. vigilante: “The Obama lovers are burying America.” Isn’t that where the new oil resources are? If you want to damage Barry, wrong path. Ask if he’s showing his jugears just yo win the uggo vote and thereby surrwnder to Iranian uggo-terrorism.

    Or are you being wickedly sarcastic in your sentence, since it’s the Bush family is always willing to mzke butt-fuck with Saudis to get us more oil from underground?

  57. Powell nailed every issue that I currently have with the McCain campaign’s approach.

    1) Why the washed up terrorist crap?
    2) What’s wrong with being a Muslim?
    3) Looking at the tax structure is Socialist? WTF!?
    4) Palin? WTdoubleF??!!
    And as a bonus:
    5) Bachmann’s a vampire cunt

    Reasonable, intelligent people, no matter their political leanings, can agree that we shouldn’t be shouting random, rage inducing crap at each other and that our VP shouldn’t be a complete moron.

  58. Weeping Jesus says at 1:24 am, October 20th, 2008

The ignorant narrow-minded freaks who used to just mumble into their coffee are now standing in public and shouting their poison right out loud. And McCain says he has repudiated such at every occasion. Yet another blatant lie.

    If things go terribly wrong and McCain is sworn in on Jan. 20th, his inauguration procession will be filled with white hoods, and he will be delighted.

    Now all I hear is bullshit. Hopey is a Muslim terrorist, the blacks are going to take over, will the White House now be the Black House, just stupid, ignorant, stereotype comments. It makes my head spin.

    All I can think to say is Goddamn America.

    fuckinredneck: It is the willingness, readiness with which these monsters are crawling out of their holes to expose their racist bigotry to the light of day that terrifies me.

    I have spent my adult life moving past the fact that my family tree is full of banjo playing, pig fucking,cousin marrying, hood wearing bigots. My childhood memories of family gatherings fairly revolved around racist structure. To purge one’s system of that poison is no small task.

    So, my greatest fear is the impact on the children dragged to Apocalystick’s rallies. They look up to Mommy and Daddy. They take the hate pouring from their parents’ mouths as gospel. The boiling puss won’t disappear on Nov. 5th. Nor on Jan. 20th. No matter the outcome, the battleground of a racial divide has been drawn. There will be at least a few people on each side of the line who will refuse to turn and walk away.

  74. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:40 am, October 20th, 2008

    You know, when this black solidarity turns out to be a side effect of the crack that the CIA has been selling since before Reagan was taken up to White God, the egg will be on our face.

    Hey, don’t be so hard on the racist douchenozzles ‘coz even some of THEM are in the tank for Hopey. This from Nate @ 538:

    So a canvasser goes to a woman’s door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she’s planning to vote for. She isn’t sure, has to ask her husband who she’s voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, “We’re votin’ for the n***er!”

    Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: “We’re voting for the n***er.”

    YeeHah! Racists For Obama’08!

    Yet, the eternal question remains: can a blue man sing the whites?

  78. Worlds End says at 2:53 am, October 20th, 2008
  79. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:56 am, October 20th, 2008

    So, just to make sure I have this straight. In the last two weeks of this campaign, Republicans feel that a fraud and tax cheat is a “true American,” but that decorated combat Veterans like Powell and Wesley Clark are Commies who hate America.

    Good luck with that.

    But do you think O’Reilly will spend two segments or three of the “Factor” discussing the hate speech by the Freepers?

  80. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:59 am, October 20th, 2008

    Don’t worry. As everyone knows, Obama is secretly an Islamo-Marxist, and commies are fond of their purges. Hope Squads will be dispatched to deal with all dissident elements.

    Datsun510: In video games, sometimes, you beat a McCain-Palin-esque villain, but the villain then shatters into a thousand little rats, or bugs, that comprised the power source of the villain, and they come violently toward you, and you have to stomp them all out, because they are sans host but still deadly and pesky and postponing the rest of your heroic journey.
    So that’s how thousands of uglies lose power. They are loud nasties doomed to be squished unless they scurry home to fester in quieted corners of uncomfortable confusion.

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Mr. Lionel Hutz Esq., you write: “But do you think O’Reilly will spend two segments or three of the “Factor” discussing the hate speech by the Freepers?”

    No, he will night. He has never, in my experience listening to him on iTunes over here in Paris, ever gone after “the far right.” Only the “far left,” of which he includes The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times. I’ve never heard him attack Wonkette, though. Never has he mentioned Free Republic. Why? Because he’s a self-proclaimed “Independent.” Which is, of course, complete and utter bullwinkle crap. So, don’t expect it. O’Reilly gets off telling good American folks he’s the only one who’s fair and balanced, that he’s looking out for the people, when he’s really looking out for himself. By inciting the left and assuaging the right he gets the audience he needs to sell his stupid books and t-shirts. The idea that he has Rove on their as regular as rain tells me he’s an ass of massive dimensions.

  87. *** BREAKING INTERNET NEWS ***

    INTERNET DECLARATION OF INTERNET WAR POSTED IN INTERNET THREAD

  88. hobospacejungle says at 4:33 am, October 20th, 2008

    Colin Powell has been a stooge his whole life. From helping to cover up the My Lai massacre to helping sell the Iraq war. He’s a younger version of Henry Kissinger. The media perpetuates the myth that he is an honorable man who speaks truth to power when in fact he is a toadie who tells his superiors what they want to hear and carries out their war crimes w/o asking questions.

    He simply waited until it was clear Obama would win so he’d be in the best position to be awarded another cabinet post. I hope his endorsement helps Obama but the idea that Powell is a man of honor is about as true as saying McCain is a man of honor. They’ve both sold their souls in their lust for power.

  89. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:47 am, October 20th, 2008

    The best thing to come out of this, as far as I’m concerned, is Powell bringing up that calling someone a Muslim is NOT a fucking smear; it’s just not true. Shit, I thought homophobia was the last socially acceptable prejudice, but at least people feel some sort of pressure to say, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” after they level an accusation of homosexuality. I guess there should have been a Seinfeld where people thought Jerry and George were members of a mosque.

  90. Serolf Divad says at 5:24 am, October 20th, 2008

    I like it that those overtly racist fucktards think it’s important to leave the vowels off the word “God”, lest God punish them more for uttering his holy-moly name than for hating on black people.

    “Behold, I am he God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob! Whosoever doth write my name better damned well put a little dash in where the ‘o’ is supposed to go, or I’ll cover your flesh with boils. But hating on them darkies is OK, you understand?”

  91. HughJennicks says at 5:54 am, October 20th, 2008

    The white blues guitarist in NYC is woefully misinformed. Someone should tell him that in the Big Apple, there is a strong bias against musicians who cannot count to four. The slack-jaw’s burden.

  92. Barry, please please please don’t let him in the cabinet. This is a guy who helped get us into this mess, we don’t need him making more of one. Then again, we’ve got our overlord Paulson and Goldman running America now and we all know they aren’t at fault in the financial crisis.

    So, I ask him whom he voted for in the primary. He says, (to be fair, with a mischievous twinkle in his old eyes) “I walked into that voting booth, voted for that n***** and saw my Mama rise up out of her grave and hit me with a stick.” He then went on, “I met that colored boy in Chicago, and he was the most inspirational person I’ve met since Jack Kennedy.”
