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.
Here's Sununu in his own words on the matter...

And here is General Colin Powell in his own words giving Obama a second endorsement.

Here's three (3) reasons why this is not only personally offensive, but utterly reprehensible and why there's no equivalency on the left for this sort of low-down nastiness...there just isn't so save it.
- It's outright racist, coming from the party that always CLAIMS to "not see race"
- He's a top Romney campaign member, and forefront GOPer in the public sphere
- There's no outcry from the right...they are silent (yes, I'm talking to you USMB RWer)
You people just give reason, after reason, after reason to hold and keep you/your party in contempt...on a daily basis. And you want to get offended when called out on it.
Either save it or prove me wrong... I know you want to win this election really badly and don't want to do anything to jeopardize it, but c'mon...show some leadership, show some Personal Responsibility.
