Rush to Powell: Go be a Democrat

[JonLP24]

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh Wednesday that if former Secretary of State Colin Powell is going to keep criticizing the GOP, he may as well leave the party and become a Democrat—adding that Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama was “purely and solely based on race.”

“He's just mad at me because I’m the one person in the country that had the guts to explain his endorsement of Obama,” Limbaugh said on his radio show. “There can be no other explanation for it.”

“What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat, instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party. He's not. He's a full-fledged Democrat,” Limbaugh said.

“He's out there saying I am killing the Republican Party while he endorsed and voted for Obama,” Limbaugh added. “The Republican Party nominated the exact kind of candidate Colin Powell thinks the Republican Party should have and he still endorsed Obama.”

10. That right-wing, black and white thinking is destroying them now.

They just can't separate criticism from opposition. You're either walking in lockstep and praising all things Republican, or you're the enemy.

It's funny, because this isn't new-- it's just the latter stages of the act they've been doing for years. It started out with sentiments like Bush's "you're with us or against us" to the entire *world*, and they've just slowly chipped away at the block ever since. More and more people peal off, and they just keep demanding blind loyalty.

Imagine... going from Bush's ultimatum to the world, to Rush's ultimatum to a former member of the Bush Administration itself. Talk about an evaporating pool.

12. Thing about Powell

He is probaly the only one that won't backtrack and apologize to Rush.

[Enrique]

11. he probably will n/t

[5thGenDemocrat]

13. Makes sense to me

Lardbutt telling the only member of Bush the Lesser's administration with any sense of decency to take a hike.
I'm hoping these calls for exile continue until the Republican party can hold its national convention in a phone booth.

Maybe Rush could tell Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and Richard Lugar to fuck off, too.

16. Note to Rush: You might want to zip up, dude.

Your bigotry is showing (again).

Fat worthless lying hypocritical fuck.
