POWELL: There’s also a dark — a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party. What do I mean by that? I mean by that that they still sort of look down on minorities. How can I evidence that? When I see a former governor say that the President is “shuckin’ and jivin’,” that’s racial era slave term. When I see another former governor after the president’s first debate where he didn’t do very well, says that the president was lazy. He didn’t say he was slow. He was tired. He didn’t do well. He said he was lazy. Now, it may not mean anything to most Americans, but to those of us who are African Americans, the second word is shiftless and then there’s a third word that goes along with that. The birther, the whole birther movement. Why do senior Republican leaders tolerate this kind of discussion within the party?
Just in case there is ANY question as to which "former governor" General Powell is speaking of concerning that "shuckin' and jivin'" comment, let us take a trip down memory lane to Sarah Palin's Facebook post of October 24, 2012:
President Obama's shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end.
Yep, let's face it, when you are talking about examples of racism in the Republican party you really cannot leave out the poster girl for racist rants and hateful rhetoric now can you?
Sorry, G,
ReplyDeleteparagraph 2...it's General Powell.
Good Post!
Colin Powell just put the nail in the coffin of dim-witted Sarah Palin....politically speaking. She's finally done. DWTS come and get her. SHE'S YOURS!!
ReplyDeleteAnd since Baldy CAN'T DANCE NOR COOK, just WTF is she good for?
DeleteBook writin'? Nope. LOL
Wonder when her nasty ass will be on DWTS.
DeleteSorry, I re-read. Of course you're right.
ReplyDeleteIt should actually read "...as to which former governor General Powell is..."
DeleteGryphen, you need to change the date to October 24, 2012.
ReplyDeleteWhy is "her majesty" so quiet all of a sudden? Her lawyer tell her to sit down and shut up? Hope she's being investigated for all her transgressions and hope her PAC money all dries up this year. Former Secretary Powell was made to look like a fool by the W administration. Why he is still a Republican is anyone's guess.
she's having a really, really bad weekend. between her mom be exposed as "pallin" around with terrorists and now Colin Powell labeling her as a racist. At least she probably knew her contract at fux wasn't being renewed long before now...
ReplyDelete. . . and isn't there still the MatMaid Dairy investigation by the FBI? Not very clear where that stands right now.
DeleteIn both the Salon article and the one on the front page of the LATimes today, it said SPalin told Miller or Cox or someone to "get rid of Ruderich." What did she have in mind, exactly? I did not see that discussed yet.
You need to correct "Governer" Powell "General" Powel, and the date on her facebook page to 10/24/12.
ReplyDeleteOops. Sorry for the gaffes.
DeleteI have been working on the Fulton piece all afternoon and I am bit frazzled.
Thanks for the heads up.
Of course Powell is correct. Palin is a shameless white hood wearer.
ReplyDeleteWell---she got the attention she so desperately wanted anyway 'cause in Palin's world negative publicity is as wanted as the positive. Old Becky is probably at this minute ungnarling her fingers to spit out some Facebook idiocy attacking Powell and The President. Or the Victim from The Valley shall be sending out an incoherant nasty tweet and calling on her sad followers to send money asap so she can get more wigs and help destroy all the black people in politics.
I don't understand why he is still a Republican!
ReplyDeleteThose neocons pulled a number on General Powell. He can't say publicly what he'd like to say in the manner that it should be said, but he's alwsys been a classy guy, and there's no shaming people like that anyway. His former Chief of Staff, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson has been more blunt and outspoken, and agrees with Powell 100%.
DeleteSarah is merely a monkey dancing to the Neocon music grinder. And though she can't dance worth a shit, she has proven that she will dress us like a street whore skank and act the fool for a paycheck. But like the bad monkey in a cage, she just flings her poo when she is angry or wants attention--- which has been every day since she sucked the life and respectability out of John McCain's career.
It's no wonder that Sarah is now regarded as the joke that she's always been, even by the conservative wing of the GOP. I'm still laughing about how they dissed the Toxic Grifter by not even inviting her to make an appearance at the RNC in Tampa.
How's that fresh air and panoramic view from the basement, Sarah Lou?
PLEASE, Boney BooBoo. Colin Powell was the fucking Secretary of State and a former National Security Advisor and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, among other things. If he was DUPED, it was because he willingly allowed himself to be duped, not because he bothered to examine any of the REAL evidence.
DeleteColin Powell tarnished his own good name for all time, with no help from the neocons whatsoever.
So when someone like him calls out Sarah Palin, it's just not that satisfying. As vile as she is, and as vile as her using the phrase shuck and jive in reference to President Obama, those are only words. Colin Powell's obsequience to the Cheney crowd caused the deaths of and grievous injuries to thousands of service men and women and innocent civilian. The sight of Colin Powell makes me just as sick as the sight of Sarah Palin does.
So Sambo beat the bitch. . .remember that oldie from Sarah's repetoire? She also doesn't like Alaska Natives (Indigenous People) - called them Arabs of the North and 'those people.'
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sarah will respond by comparing her 'War Hero' Son Track 'Cain't Get Right' Palin with the experience of GENERAL Colin Powell, BWAHAHAHA. She will probably refer to the General as 'SAMBO' like she described President Obama when he won the Democrats' Primary. Yes, Sarah Palin is Racist, just ask Kyle Massey and his family. Maybe that is why no one has seen Bristol's DWTS Baby(Half Black).
ReplyDelete1:04,
Delete$carah's probably in a fetal position, totally catatonic.
her klan/spawn probably can't even rouse the griftin' bitch, even substitutin' crunch wrap supremes and red bull as smellin' salts ...
LMAO !!!
sleep well $kank
Yep, she will sleep right through all the worst parts. If she wakes up enough for them to plop a wig on and put her in front of a camera she will be playing the part of a holy deity who wants to gin up shite for a new church/party.
DeleteTo Anonymous1:04 PM
DeleteThe Massey's would not touch that skank Bristol. Trust me, they are not interested in the her type. They are very nice young men.
5:15 PM So you are saying that the Masseys have no friends?
DeleteA politically savvy white woman with a Midwestern accent, a love of state fairs and a sense of entitlement goes up against a talented black upstart who comes out of nowhere to shake a traditional establishment to its very core.
ReplyDeleteLaura Pickler, is a social and political climber determined to make the jump from state fair to governor's mansion through a butter sculpting competition and imagines making a speech to the crowd -- in Iowa, enthusiastic audiences watch sculptors work their buttery magic -- complaining that it wasn’t her fault that she was born tall, pretty and white.
[Except Sarah isn't tall, that's why she wears ill-advised platform shoes]

Sarah Palin set the stage (or is the only one that was ever caught) and by-golly, this sort of stuff probably doesn't fail to get her off these days (it's all she has left.)
ReplyDeleteColorado Attorney General John Suthers' office this week made what's sure to be a controversial decision to officially support Secretary of State Scott Gessler's effort to establish a legal defense fund. The fund would host contributions from private donors willing to cover costs tied to a Denver District Attorney criminal investigation into reimbursements Gessler charged to his office for alleged unofficial expenses.

Ouch, General Powell, that's gonna leave a mark!
ReplyDeleteFrom Maryline Blackburn to Glen Rice to our TWICE elected president Obama, she sure has been "screwed" by lack people, hasn't she?
ReplyDeleteAdd to that Tawd's beating of a black man in high school because he and friends "could"....
RUN Sarah RUN 2016! We know you CAN'T! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
A pox on you, too, Rebecca Mansour.

The half baked celebrity is done. Now the whole truth can come out and make some people very rich.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope you are right.
DeleteGood for Powell. What Palin said was racist, ugly, and of course stupid. Just like her.
ReplyDeleteLet's see how long it will take Mrs. DumbAss to come up with some snide remark, to refute the truth that General Powell pointed out. Come on Psychopath, we are waiting on you.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Golden Globe goes to GAME CHANGE!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was great !!!
DeleteAND, then SP was the butt of a joke in the
banter by Tina Fey :)
That was great !! and SP was also the butt of a joke in the host's banter before that :)
DeleteShe will take it as Collin Powell believes she is "important" enough to talk about...
ReplyDeleteGeneral Powell was just pointing out what an ignorant racist cretin Sarah Paliin is.
DeleteJulianne Moore in Game Change wins - that makes two awards so far...
ReplyDeleteYep, it's a bad day to be sayrah!
ReplyDeleteFirst Colon Powel commented on her racist statement, then Julianne Moore, in her second (so far) turn in the "award acceptance line" said :
"Finally, I'd like to thank two women who contributed GREATLY to the 2008 elections - Tina Fey and Katie Couric"
Ouch!!!! That HAD to leave skid marks!
Yes, It's official, all that's left for Sarah is being associated with hate speech and the subject of ridicule on an awards program from an accomplished actress!
I believe that her "shuckin' and jivin'" type statements show that Sarah Palin is racist clear down to every bone in her body.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for Dropzone Bill
ReplyDeleteHas Bill ever been in a closed room, standing still within 15 feet of Sarah Palin, and then thought to himself, "Damn, did a sewer pipe just burst in the floor upstairs, or has this lady been eating crunch-wrap burritos for dinner every evening for the past month, while wearing the same pair of drawers?"
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY (hey...is that who the family informant is?) I made the collasal mistake of reading the Asylum's Open Thread today!
ReplyDeleteI felt like I had stumbled into the middle of a KKK meeting! I swear...if those ummm...nuts could get a hold of Colin Powell... WHEW...it would be like a scene from "Django" (great movie BTW...saw it with husband over the holiday) I won't say which scene...just in case folks wanted to see it!
I don't think word has reached the Crazies that Julianne Moore won for Game Change tonight...but when it does....*SHUDDER*!
Oh Gina....I go there for comic relief every day. It starts out with their same ol' tired talking points and bible passages...then they go batsh*t or turn on each other. LMAO!!!!
DeleteHi Gina,
DeleteHere it is for all our enjoyment courtesy SeaofPee....

Ughh.
Julianne Moore won and of course thanked Tina Fey and that nasty little "perky one" in her acceptance..
I know I shouldn't care... but that whole game change affair still pisses me off.... and here is why...
Sadly, too many in this country are low information voters who are ignorant of the facts of what is going on (how else do you explain Obama getting re-elected). I really sucks.. but too many people believe what they see in crap like this movie...
Whenever I am with my politically diverse group of friends and politics comes up (they all know I am a big Palin supporter).. there is always at least one person that comments on how Sarah is "un-informed" or "could never win".. The reason.... all the usual lies of course. But that crappy movie is inevitably mentioned.
It pisses me off to this day that S. Schmidt, N Wallace (both miserable failures in the world of politics ) first tried to make her into something she isn't.. then threw her under the bus when THEIR inept campaign strategy failed... and are now making money by throwing Sarah under the bus with a bunch of Hollywood, self absorbed a-holes. You just know that if Sarah chooses to run in 2016 this movie will magically start airing on all the major channels. It makes me so damn angry.
I am sorry. I had to vent.
God bless you Sarah.. and may you get the last laugh on all of these SOBs.

ReplyDeleteQuestion for Drop Zone Bill re Drop Trou Todd:
ReplyDeleteWhat all has Drop Zone Bill heard about the nefarious side-business scheme that Drop Trou Todd has been pimping in order to make a few bucks on the front end from horny old dudes, whereby Drop Trou Todd then later extorts even more $$$ on the back end, once Todd "has the goods" on his mark?
Specifically, who were the real suckers that thought that good old buddy Drop Trou Todd was fronting them a piece of ass 'on the house', only to receive a collection letter with a revealing photo of freeze frame from a video (w/ audio) of the 'client', clearly identifiable and in a compromising position with a hooker in a tryst that Drop Trou Todd arranged and then recorded video of surreptitiously.
Also, is it true that Drop Trou Todd extorted twice the amount for higher 'fees' following those same-sex liaisons that he personally arranged for those men who fell into his extortion/sex-trafficking web?
And finally, does Drop Zone Bill's association with Drop Trou Todd extend back to the time when Todd was just getting his side-business started, and actually turned his own tricks? Note: absolutely no implication of Bill's involvement as a client, or in any manner, just questioning the level of awareness of Drop Trou Todd's illicit activities vs a timeline.
Little nuggets like those I've suggested might save a few precuous moments of time for one of our fine Federal agencies compromised of real American patriots, who are analyzing unreported income versus purchasing habits of tax-cheats and other financial related criminals. (Potential cash rewards following recovery! Ask for details and an anonymous case file number prior to submitting data for official inquiry. Even in the instance where investigation is already in progress, reward is available on new information.)
Thanks, Drop Zone Bill! And a Big Thank-you to Jesse, a real American patriot and hero, just like Bill!
Oh how I miss the clueless, chest-heaving, "you just said WHAT?" Fox interviews.
ReplyDeleteThere's a damn good reason they've all gone silent. Hot air breathing down your neck ain't always sexy, now IS it, Tundra TRIBE?
skank! obama blows her away. praise the forces he is my president.
ReplyDeleteStarting to make since why Creepy Chuckiev Jr wants to start another political party. Everybody is turning on Sarah Palin, even her own party members. The GOP didn't even want Sarah at the 2012 RNC but was that going to stop Sarah? Not at at first because she still thought they wanted her there so she rented a spot close to where they were speaking. Then it finally dawned on Sarah that the GOP doesn't want her anymore so she backed out.
ReplyDeleteNow the Palins want to scam a new party.
Are they that stupid to realize they are done?
I think that they should call it, the Stank Bitch Party (SBP).
DeleteSpeaking of exploding heads...did you see the list of winners for the Golden Globes?

Sarah is just plain nasty... not just her appearance but in the way she always finds an over-the-top insult to hurl at her "perceived" enemies.
ReplyDeletePowell was talking about John Sununu, former Gov of N.H....he said "lazy".
ReplyDeleteAnd Powell was talking about Sarah Palin who said, "shucking and jiving", a derogatory term used during slave times. Give Sarah the credit that she deserves.
