As MarcATL said this is a reprehensible comment. If someone on the USMB says such a thing it is not really a big deal. Here we can say any dumb thing we want, and usually do. Sununu was not on the USMB when he made that comment however. He was on CNN. CNN is played on hundreds of TV's in airports, lobbies, and many other places, even in pizza shops, not only in this country but around the world. Sununu just discredited not only Powell as being someone who can't make a decision based on rational thought but also the President of the United States as being unworthy of an endorsement from Colonel Powell and only got the endorsement because Powell and Obama are of the same race. I think there is little doubt that Romney would take Sununu to the White House if he were elected. The fact that Sununu would make such a base statement demonstrates that this man, actually two men, Sununu and Romney, have no place being in the White House. And Sununu, 'seems to reverse his statement', does not go half way far enough to undo what he has done.
To further elaborate this not just another redneck comment from a Senatorial candidate this is from someone who would be on the national stage. The comment was clearly racist, a racist comment that not only insults Powell and Obama but all the people of that race in this country and in the world for that matter. How is one to lead if someone in their administration has insulted part of the population in just about every country in the world. A full and unequivocal apology does not do enough. Sununu should pull himself out of Romney's staff or Romney should kick him out. This is no longer the 1950's and white men are not the only people who matter.
98% of the black vote has BEEN voting Democratic A-Hole.When 98% of blacks are voting for the black guy. What the fuck should we think? Of course they're voting on race...Honestly.
What you are stating is that you outright don't believe or simply do not care about the reason why Powell said he's sticking with Obama.
He gave a long, thoughtful, cogent, meaningful and sincere reason for his support of Obama.
But to you, because he's black...that's it.
Yeah...and you're not racist.
Think McFly...THINK!!!

lol, you have to love how EVERY thing a person say is now a racist comment..
too bad for you all we still have FREEDOM OF SPEECH and you all don't make the rules what is racist of NOT
But you all could cry us a river over it or as this poster did, write a damn book whining about it...WAAAAAA
Is John Sununu supporting Romney because he's white? Must be, according to Sununu's own logic.
I guess that makes Sununu a racist.

John Sununu, Mitt Romney Campaign Co-Chair has recently said, outright that the reason that Colin Powell's supported Barack Obama is because they're both black.
BZZZZZ
In any race where there is a black and white candidate, blacks will vote for the black candidate - period.
Right to say it also includes right to calling him out for being a douchebag for saying it.Sununu has a right to say it and blacks have a right to vote it.
End of story. What happen to defending ones right to say it?
It's a fact that many(10-15%) of blacks that would otherwise vote republican maybe voting Obama for that reason. I know for a fact as I heard it with my own ears...
You leftist just can't bring yourselve to admit this....It's always all of whitey is bad and all blacks can do no wrong.
And he clearly sees it as "them negros got to stick together."John called it as he saw it. So did the rest of us. What's the big deal.
It can't be that Powell became a Democrat, Can it?

and every tea party memeber, right?
"you people" play the race card so often you forget and it twists you in knots....
The country had not been thinking about race until Obama came along.
Blacks voted for jim crow?????BZZZZZ

Based on a presidental campaign sampling of.... one election to date?

Why don't we fact check those "facts."
The lowest Democratic vote from Blacks in modern history, (Post civil rights) was at 83% for Clintion... when 9% voted for alternative options. under 10% voted for Republican in that election. And that is the LOWEST percentage for Democrats since the early 60's.
Now... was Dukakis and Clinton BLACKER than their opponents?
And he clearly sees it as "them negros got to stick together."John called it as he saw it. So did the rest of us. What's the big deal.

That should be an instant USMB classic!!!
