[Vision2020] Powell endorses Obama

[keely emerinemix]

To link Colin Powell with Farrakhan, much less Wright, Ayers, or even Jesse Jackson, is as absurd as it is hateful.

I was terribly disappointed in Powell during the lead-up to the Iraq War, but I would imagine my disappointment in him is a mere shadow of his own regret now over his uncharacteristic duplicity then.   He displays, overall, a degree of character those maligning him in this way don't.  Further, one sign of racism is the tendency to link "bad people" together based on race, and then covering it by saying they've "played the race card."
