Limbaugh is just bitter that Obama is winning.

The only thing Rush supports, besides his drug habit of course, are the politics of division and hate. Without his bigotry, and the bigotry of his fans, he wouldn't have a show.

Limbaugh is right, though not the way he thinks he is.

All you had to do is watch Powell Sunday and listen to the tone of his voice as he moved from discussing Obama to discussing the McCain campaign to see that although he will never use the word, he believes that the campaign tactics being used by McCain/Palin and the GOP are racist and his feelings about that were the thing that stuck in his craw until he had to take a stand against his own party and a man he used to consider a friend (whether he still does or not, who knows?).

Powell's endorsement of Obama was indeed about "race;" not Obama's race, but what McCain and the GOP are trying to do with it.

Perhaps Mr. Limbaugh is supporting the McCain/Palin ticket simply because McCain is white. This would explain why he is unable to accept the fact that moderate Republicans are not pleased with the intolerance that is openly flaunted by the McCain campaign.

General Powell has made a choice, as is his right as a United States citizen. Trying to undermine General Powell's decision by using the politics of racial division and intolerance will only alienate other "big tent Republicans" who are turned off by the vitriol and intolerance being promulgated by the McCain campaign.

This says nothing about Colin Powell or Obama. It says everything about Limbaugh himself.

I agree with the above comments. Rush is a joke, and I can't believe he still has listeners. I hope he gets fired like Don Imus.

Race is playing an enormous role in this election. I have not met a single black person who is voting for McCain. On the other hand, I have met a whole lot of white people voting for Obama. Which group is the more racist?

Is Mr. Limbaugh still poppin' pills?

You know what Rush... I was a former republican turned independent this year and you know why I wont be voting for Mccain? The exact same reasons Colin Powell wont be. His explanation of the issues with the Mccain Camp and with his pick for VP are dead on with my views. So since I'm white, it must be a reverse racial thing!

Give the guy a break, he's trying to make a fair endorsement for who he thinks would best be suited to be president in the coming years. Its a matter of personal opinion for him, just like it is for me. I think he has served his country more than enough to prove that he doesnt make decisions lightly and deserves the respect that anyone would give a Mccain supporter!

Dan P. (Obama/Biden, Nebraska)

Did Powell endorse Kerry? Gore? Mondale? They are all closer to the Republican philosophy that Powell said he still held to.

It is not a crime for him to want a black as President. Why can he not just admit it?

Frank

Why do republicans continue to allow despicable people like Limbaugh to be the face of their party?

It's not about race at all.

It's about QUALIFICATIONS.

Powell endorsed Obama because he is the superior presidential candidate.

Old white conservative dudes are the WORST losers, eh.

Get real people. Can any of you name a white liberal with limited experience that Powell has endorsed? When he endorsed GW weren't GW's opponents a lot more qualified than Obama with a lot more experience. The diffference, they were white.
Let's try to at least be honest.

All Rush is missing a nazi armband and a salute.

As a life-long Republican, Limbaugh hasdisappointed me before. Many times. But for him to try to make this entire campaign about race is for me, the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been disgusted with McCain and Palin and their smear tactics and their failure to speak to the issues in any coherent and sustained fashion. Now Rush and the other neocons have openly sunk to the lowest possible point. They have played the Race Card, and they have dealt it from the bottom of the deck. This is right up there with Palin stating that people in communities that don't support her and McCain are "unAmerican". Only in Rush's little world is there any place for this in America. Early voting has begun and I am voting today for Obama.

Rush and his right wing nut jobs that are all over the radio is the reason that Powell wanted the nation to know that the party of Lincoln has lost its soul.

Has this jerk been in his medicine bottles again? Why does anyone even listen to him. He is so yestersay.

Colin Powell should be in the Obama camp with all the other turncoats. Powell himself says he still thinks the war was the right thing to do, but when the going got tough over there he quit. He is moving toward the right group, a bunch of sniveling liberals headed by his own likes, Obama.

Typical... Rush is who he is.

He's always looking at events and facts in a way to support his preconceived opinions. Too bad his intellect is by far exceeded by his ability to always have something to say.

I am sure if Obama wins, we'll be hearing many more controversial soundbits from him in the years to come. Here's hoping he suffers the same fate as Imus.

And BIG BAD SARAH is a pig with lipstick-oh my-don't take me out of context.

It is one thing to say that Americans ought to be proud of the fact that an African-American has got as far as Obama has, and may be the first black person to be elected to the Presidency. It is quite another thing to say that Colin Powell has endorsed Obama BECAUSE of his race. Of course much should be made of Obama;s historic candidacy; but nothing should be made of race as a justification for Powell's backing him, since it is obvious that that consideration played no part whatsoever.

Powell is concerned about affirmative action policies being upheld in the supreme court. He knows Obama will uphold affirmative action policies. He mentioned the supreme court.

You can't disagree with Rush or Hannity without being called nasty names. It's just the way they and their loyal fanbase are. They are sore losers.

This is about race, whether we like it or not. If Obama had been white, he wouldn't have been given a second notice by the Dems. The Dems have "used" the black Americans by feeding them just enough to keep them on their side, while not really caring if they succeed as individuals. It has been along time since a Democratic politician told Black America – you don't need welfare, you don't need handouts – you can succeed as an American using your own intellect and resources. Black is akin to being "gay" in America (I am not insinuating that blacks are gay) – but it is the "in thing" to be in the political arena. Blacks have been "beaten down, mistreated and shunned by white America, so they are "owed" the chance to have a black President (although he is half white). Personally, I couldn't care less about his race – it is his ideaology that scares the hell out of me. In our useless 2 party system, McCain and the Repulicans are bad, Obama and the Libs are worse – unless, of course, you want welfare, government funded abortion, gay marriages, weak defense and all of the other "social ills" that come with Socialism.

The real question is that why do so many people give Rush Limbaugh such attention. A guy with no college degree who is paid hundres of millions of dollars for just spouting ignorance and non-tolerance.

He just can't keep his big mouth shut long enough to stay out of trouble.

Rush is so right and you all know it !!!

Please take Rush off the airwaves!

Powell wasn't only endorsing Obama based on "experience" but as a transformative figure, a person who can inspire the nation, etc.. Things that Rush decides to forget about so he can make racially charged statements.

Could someone answer this. Black people all over this country are calling white people racist because they are not going to vote for obama. WHY IS IT WRONG FOR A PERSON TO QUESTION THE MOTIVES OF A REPUBLICAN...who has been a republican, who worked in a republican administration, who had no qualms about accepting two supreme justices. NOW because there is a black man running as a democrat and this black man endorses him, there should be questions. Because if you look at the record he is only doing it because he is black and I am sick and tired of people being called racist because they don't support obama.

Rush is a Moron.

Why are we paying attention to him?

Rush Limbaugh is nothing but a hypocrite. I do not understand why people waste their time listening to this useless and idiotic man. Get a real job Rush...

As much as I loathe Limbaugh, I have to admit, this one's a no-brainer.

I never doubted Powell would endorse anyone but Obama. How could he not?

Every Black friend I've spoken to told me the reason they bailed on the Clintons, who have helped them for decades, is because, "You HAVE to vote for a Black man if you're Black. After Iowa, we had no choice."

Get serious folks, is there one person who posted here who wondered, even for a second, who Powell was going to endorse?

These are the same people who thought PA whites were racist because only 40 percent voted for Obama, while praising the 93 percent of Black who voted for Obama for being "empowered" and "proud."

It takes a lot to make Limbaugh look sane . . . you people are doing it with aplomb.

So let me see if I get this right... A Black Republican is ONLY supporting Sen Obama because he's Black. However, a White Republican can support him without race being a factor? Now I'm suppose to believe a man as intelligent as Mr. Powell isn't educated enough to see past race, but Sen. Hagel (a white man) sees no color? Based on Mr. Limbaugh's logic, I gues Sen Lieberman is only supporting Sen McCain because he's white.

I love how Rush can't explain "why" Powell would endorse Obama outside of race. Apparently Rush didn't even watch Powell's endorsement, because Powell spent 15 minutes explaining precisely why he was voting for Obama.

Rush is a comedian, not a political pundit.

Rush limbaugh the same guy who was fired from ESPN NFL countdown for saying Danovan Mcnabb was media hype as a great Quaterback becaus he was black! just something to think about!

It's people like Rush Limbaugh that are helping Obama win. I don't like Limbaugh, but like that fact that he is continues to bring the Republicans down by opening his big mouth and speaking what he thinks is the truth.

If Limbaugh wanted to have a serious discussion about this, he would engage the arguments that Powell made during his seven minute endorsement explanation. It is much easier to make inflamatory comments than to argue against reason.

So when is the last time Rush Limbaugh defended US nation-building?

And people like Rush because he's fat, dumb and white. What's wrong with admitting that?

The funniest part of this is Limbaugh claiming to do "research." Right, Rush. Research. Facts. I'm sure you're all over that.

Hey Rush, a measurable number of American's foreclosed on their homes or lost their jobs since you made this ingnorant comment.

Let's try to keep our eye on the ball, and leave the lipstick on the only pig in the trough...you.

I didn’t know Christopher Buckley, The Chicago Tribune and countless other Republicans were black too if that’s the only reason republican are indorsing Senator Obama. You are a racist Rush. Just deal with that.

Who and what is Limbaugh?? Does he realize in the 21st century no one see's color or race but issues that affect our lives. SHAME ON HIM!! Powell is an astute man that doesn't lean on petty stuff like race. Join ur McCain and friends to a rest home its a new beginning and out with the old. Obama 08, 12

I guess Limbaugh support for Macwar is about race.

I'm voting for the best candidate. I guess Limbaugh has different criteria.

Rush is lashing out, trying to come up with something. Sad isn't it.

Perfect example why I vote for "well educated" people. Thank goodness Rush is soon to be a dinasour. Ignore the extremists. That type of thinking is becoming obsolete.

Limbaugh is a pig without lipstick.

They are the very people that are awkard as ever and thinking all the time about racism, he is just jerk. But obama must be a president whatever the case.

Just another example of rush being rush....same old tired boring thing...

Obama/Biden 08

This man is a stain on humanity. He has a place waiting for him in the lowest circle of Hell.

I'd be curious to know whether Powell would support Biden if, by tragedy, he were to become president. I think Rush has a point about white liberal left-leaners. Maybe I just didn't see it, but I haven't seen or read anything about Powell's endorsement of the Obama-Biden ticket, only Obama.

What a small mind man to only see Senator Obama's skin color and not accept him as a capable candidate for President? NO one graduates Harvard Law and suceeds as he does because he is average. Rush give the man his dues. General Powell is a respectful enough hero of this nation to give us an unbias opinion a quality you have never shown. I am surprise people still listen to your snake venom.

larry wi,
actually, he has paid down some of HRC's debt. and the remainder will most likely go into the DNC coffers for the 2010 House races.

It's way past time to boycott Limbaugh's show and any advertisers supporting it.

He's just angry. Secretary Powell is not his "boy". Someone who is just following the party line. They never respected Powell, and I'm so glad he's supporting

Get over yourself Rush, you don't matter.

It is about race, and it's true. Hell, what Powell said in the last paragrah is proof enough that it's for social extension of the African-American race. Too many black people are voting for Obama just because he's black, and that's the spot on definition of "ignorance".

This was Powell's opportunity to lash out at the GOP over the war....too bad he didn't have the guts to resign if he disagreed that strongly with Bush. He isn't endorsing Obama – he's lashing out at Bush....lets not read too much into his endorsement, America.

What Limbaugh fails to take into consideration is the slap in the face Powell delivered to McCain and his campaign, a large reason why many other prominent GOP leaders are shying away from McCain as well. His endorsement of Obama is as much a repudiation of McCain. Limbaugh has a habit of focusing on a single small issue and making it seem important.

Rush should be taken off the air until after the election. He has caused enough damage. Also Pat Buchannan should be suspended until after the election.
What would their comment have been if Gen. Powell had endorsed mccain? That Obama was not good enough even if he is Black?

These guys are unhappy and miserable and everyone knows that misery loves company.

Thanks should be given to Mr. Powell for really putting 'Country First'

Limbaugh makes a legitimate point. Obama's race is the number one factor in the mobilzation of African American voters this election.

Good grief people! The last I checked, white men have held the job for over 200 years. So what if General Powell endorsed Senator Obama? No one was whining when Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean. I did not hear any whining when Geraldine Ferraro endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton. I think that General Powell endorsed Senator Obama because Obama represents the future and the American Dream. I think that Senator Obama will work hard to help restore our standing in the world.

So....would you want to be in Powell's shoes–the last black public figure not endorsing Obama?

Clearly Obama is a powerful enough candidate in so many other ways– so Gen. Powell did not need to resort to race. Powell could recite so many other defensible good qualities and aptitudes–race didn't even have to be addressed.

And the General is right–Obama promises to be a globally transformational leader for the first time in many decades.

The truth sometimes hurts. Rush is right.

Finally someone comesout and admits what this election is about . RACE . Mr. Limbaugh says what we all know to be true and the media wants to beat him down for this. There has never been so many outspoken blacks back another "inexperienced, very liberal, white candidate", as we see for Obama. Myself and many others support you Mr. Limbaugh.

Look.. I'm not gonna say that race had nothing to do with it.. but, Powell gave a full list of well thought out, logical, and legitimate reasons for endorsing Obama.

So say what you will.. the fact is that he truly believes that Obama is the best candidate. I agree with Rush though.. we shouldn't have any reason to admit the obvious... Race does have a lot of influence in this election.

But the whole thing is about race, that's why it will be so historical when Obama wins. If it was another white man, there would be nothing historical about that!

The more you talk like this, Rush, the more votes Obama gets.

Thank you..........

Obama/Biden 08

Mr. Limbaugh seems to be a bag of hot air. Mr Powell said in an interview on Sunday that had his endorsement been based solely on race he would have done it months ago. So don't make things up. Sen. Obama is simply a better choice. Get over it. I've met many Republicans that are doing the same.

The reason Obama hasn’t gotten the same scrutiny like Plain and even John McCain that has been in public life all his life is only because of Race.
The liberal media refuses to go deep in Obama’s life and past because they are afraid to be called racist.
Obama and his supporters are using race as a fire wall to protect themselves from any question.
You question anything about Obama and you are called a racist. The same tactic was used on Hillary.
Obama uses the race accusations to bully the opponent and his critics and the liberal media is the weapon of choice.

Any other reason that CNN still hasn’t done a single analysis of Obama’s relationship with Acorn, Ayers, Frank!!!, Wright and much more.

It is either race or a cover-up. Which is it?

Finally, someone that speaks the truth.

Obama has brought up race and the media just dismisses it, but Rush makes a comment and he is a disgusting human being.
The point that everyone misses is – Powell doesnt share alot of the same political views as Obama, but still supports him?? I am sure that will look good when Obama appoints him to a position in his administration.

Dear Repubicans:
You have some good people in your ranks with good ideas and love this country.
Please listen to them instead of people like Limbaugh.

Rush is a disgusting, but in this particular instant, he happens to be right to a certain extent. I think race did play a role in Powell's endorsement, but most likely because Powell believes that Obama's race will help improve our image in the world and strenghten our relationship with our allies.

Is this the best Rush can do for the country? Just because you have the right to talk doesn't mean you should. Please keep your racist, stupid opinions to yourself. You create noise......

Rush you are the biggest jerk out there you said Micheal J.Fox was faking now you make a commment abour Powell well I will say this much for you you Chicken Hawk . You who got caught getting drug should not have many thing to say period.

Limbaugh is the embodiment of chaos.

Rush – Maybe Palin will take him with her back to Alaska! I'm sure President Obama has a little extra cash from Sept donations to buy him a one-way ticket.

Early voting in Florida started today
Be sure to vote early – polls were full this moring at 7am.

Lots of young people with Obama pins and t-shirts at the polls today at 7am – didn't even know you could wear things like that.

Obama – Biden 2008

Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.

Limbaugh didn't endorse McCain 8 years ago, or 4 years ago.

Powell's reasoning for supporting Obama was incredibly well thought out and quite logical.

Limbaugh is scared little baby who will be unhappy no matter who wins the election, but he'll have to pretend for at least 4 years that he's thrilled, should McCain win. Rush is another great Divider.

it must terrible to be Rush.

ONLY THE STUPID PEOPLE LIKE HIM. GARBAGE AND DRUG USE ON RADIO. IS THIS THE BEST YOU HAVE TO OFFER REPUBS. BUNCH OF MISFITS.

Then lets get this straight, Rush...

You are supporting McCain because of his race.

This Rush guy is so quick to comment on everything – comments that only the ignorant ones believe.

But it is surprising that Rush has not made comments about Palin's SNL appereance – how about it Rush? Or is there simply a desire to hide the huge humiliation?

btw, look at Rush's website – no one in their right mind would believe anything this guy says!

errr.. colbert king's entire column in the washpost on Sunday was about what racists we'll be if we don't elect Obama. So that's uncontroversial, but pointing out that people (white and black) are voting for Obama because he's black is evidence of horrid, disgusting racism. I get it. Unless you're for Obama, you can't mention race. Glad I now understand the fairness doctrine.

He is having no credibility,,, at all. Who care about this guy he is just a nut

Hey Rush, didn't Powell endorse Bush in 04'?
I guess ol Dubya wasn't white then, if you use YOUR twisted logic.

The last time I heard Rush Limbaugh's radio show, a well spoken, articulate caller disagreed with him. Rush's brilliant comback was to call him an idiot. That was about 40 years ago. For me, it placed him on the fringes of the Human Race.

i told you all on thursday, that a repulican would bring out the race card, go figure had to be limbaugh. the grand wizard himself.

"OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."

Here is one that Powell endorsed: George W. in 2000. He was white, he was inexperienced, and Powell (as well as many others) mistakenly thought he was liberal like his father!

Funny, the Obama campaign is the one who's claiming that not voting for Obama makes you a racist.

Therefore, as we see, it IS all about race. Any disagreement with Obama on anything else makes you a racist.

This coming from a convicted drug addict. Rush, you're a loser!
What about all of us white-bread Americans choosing to support Obama? We're doing it because he's the BEST candidate. I'd listen to General Powell any day of the week over a junkie windbag like you.

I have no words horrible enough to say about this guy. He's only after causing a riot with his words which in turn get him ratings boost. But to say something like this is... I'm speechless. The man is Scum.

It has more to do with his (Powell's) disapproval of the Bush administration than it has to do with race. Powell resigned from the Bush administration because of his disagreement. At the time he resigned, Obama wasn't even a household name. Rush likes to make everything black and white. Rush is as racist as they come.

The funny thing is that Rush the Junkie hates John McCain. Before McCain became the nominee, he went on several hillybilly heroin fuled rants against McCain. Now he's all for McCain. Limbaugh is a complete joke.

Looks like Rush is on the Pills again.

Kudos to General Powell. Keep it up and they'll start calling you a "Maverick".

Is this moron (limbaugh) relevant? Who gives a rats-_ _ _ about his opinions? Only dumb people listen to his radio show and all of them are neocons!

Disgusting... absolutely disgusting. I never agreed with his talk show in the first place but I listened just because it was entertaining to hear a right wing nut-job ramble on and on about nonsense. Never again will I listen just for entertainment. In my opinion this comment is worse than Don Imus' comments and he should be held responsible for his Racist remarks.

Rush Limbaugh is a..............well, I won't be stupid because he is. Anyway, as CBS' Bob Schieffer said this morning; and I quote:

"What Colin Powell said yesterday and why it was so riveting to hear him, he was saying aloud what a lot of Republicans are saying privately, I think, or at least what I've heard some Republicans tell me. They think the pick of Sarah Palin reflects on John McCain's judgment, they think the campaign has turned too nasty and is not inclusive. I think Colin Powell said aloud yesterday what some Republicans, at least, are saying privately."

Smoke that Rush!

Colin Powell outlined a convincing argument, which stated his reasons for endorsing Obama.

To suggest anything otherwise is disgusting... which is exactly what Limbaugh is!

The same argument can be made of an the Lieberman endorsement of McCain. Fortunatly for the majority of we do not see the world just in terms of black and white.

I love Limbaugh he is not PC and I love it! I especially LOVE reading you whinny libs complaining about everything he says without listning to the show. Carville said that blacks would riot if Obama wasnt elected, is that not racist, were is the outcry, wait hes a Demotard so its Ok for him to be racist. AND NAME ONE WHITE LIBERAL INEXPERIENCED GUY POWELL HAS ENDORSED, YOU CANT CUZ THIS WAS ABOUT RACE.

It's comments like these from right-wing extremists that make the case for the GOP being a party that excludes people. In seeing Colin Powell's interview I got the sense that he was talking straightforward and there was no hint of him voting for Obama based plainly on race. Limbaugh's comments only prove how bitter the GOP has gotten because they are losing support from all sorts of people, including high prominent Republicans who aren't happy with how the McCain campaign is being run. Name calling and lame attempts at trying to distract voters is the name of their game. Pretty pathetic.

I totally believe Rush at face value when he says it is about race.

And I totally believe Colin Powell when he says it is not about race.

The question is: who has credibility & who has actually served his country with honor and patriotism? (and I don't mean fake rhetorical patirotism)

Is anyone surprised by what Limbaugh says anymore? If Limbaugh looked hard enough he might find some African american blood in his family too.

CNN I can't take this anymore. I am so tired of fat Limbaugh and other WHITE people in general, saying that Powell endorsed Obama because of race. The Republicans I hate to say it, are VERY prejudice, when Powell was doing all the good that he has done he was a "TRUE" american. Now he see's that McCain is not the best for the job and now Powell is racist. He hasn't voted for any liberal whites because he didn't like their views. And damm it why do some white people think they have a damm lock and key on morals and what someone should and shouldn't think and feel. It just divides us more, because it makes me angry and then I start thinking about all the crap that whites have puts us through here on earth and I want to scream. And yet Obama just keeps pressing on, he has an enormous amount of pressure on his shoulder and he is riding it out like a champ. He loves this country even though some of them don't love him.

RACISM WILL EVENTUALLY BRING USA DOWN. THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US. TOO MUCH HATE

This are the kind of people killing McCain situation. When you keep injecting all this stupid crap into the campaign. The secret service really need to investigate and protect Obama cos this is really gettin ugly.

Oh my god Rush, did you forget to take your pain meds again? You can't do that! You know how you get when that happens.

This drug addicted racist needs to be removed from radio!

Did Limbaugh say that those former Secretaries of State who endorsed McCain did so because he and they are white? The double standard is disturbing but not unexpected....America still has people like this guy who either don't really understand racism or feel it is their duty to to keep it alive. I feel SO GOOD that I just dropped off my absentee vote for Obama and Biden - and because I'm white I guess I did it because I think that Obama is the best candidate not because we're both black.

Therefore, Joe Lieberman is backing John Mccain because he is racist and won't vote for a black man.

Rush Limbaugh is nothing but a FAT, IMPOTENT, RACIST, DRUG ADDICT. Does anyone really care what this bumbling moron thinks?

This from the guy who gets arrested in Florida for smuggling suitcases full of Viagra....

This from the guy who had to check his fat-gut into rehab due to drug addiction.....

And this from the guy who was FIRED FROM ESPN SUNDAY FOOTBALL because of his RACIST inflammatory remarks regarding Donovan McNabb and the media's love of a "black quarterback"....

MEMO TO AMERICA – LIMBAUGH IS RACIST!!!

p.s. Am I the only one who can't wait for Limbaugh to FINALLY lose 100% of his hearing in both ears so he won't be able to talk/hear anymore????

Please Obama supports are just as hateful. Rush is just speaking the truth!

If Obama was white he would not be were he is, no one wants to say it, but it's true.

Obama is not the man to lead this country, he does not have the experience.

End of story.

In the face of Powell's well-reasoned and rational endorsement of Obama, along with his thoughtful consideration with respect to the dynamics of the Republican campaign, Rush brings it all down to race. What a fool, Limbaugh.

Limburger is bigited, racist, right wing, not even Republican, and totally out of touch with mainstream America. He probably thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows. At least McCain said that it figured that Powell would back Obama, but did not say anything racist in Powell's decision.

And I suppose Lieberman chose McCain because he's white? Come on Rush. You are usually a more convincing propagandist than this.

I agree with Rush, had Obama been white Powell would NOT endorse a radical liberal..

His endorsements are a matter of record so go look for yourself!

At least he's consistent–consistently stupid. It's just too bad that he's getting paid well for his stupid comments while we have good people losing their jobs and their homes.

WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT WE WHO ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA ARE DOING SO BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT HE IS THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN? WE ALSO BELIEVED THAT FDR, CARTER, KENNEDY, AND CLINTON WERE THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THE JOB. UNLIKE REPUBS, WE HAVE MINDS OF OUR OWN AND WE USE THEM FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THIS COUNTRY. LOOK AT THE MESSES YOUR PARTY HAS GOTTEN US INTO BY NOT PUTTING THE COUNTRY FIRST AND INSTEAD PUTTING YOU OWN GREED FIRST. MCPALIN ARE JUST AN EXAMPLE OF COMPOUNDING YOUR MISTAKES, AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU ALL WAKE UP SOON.

Rush, dude, get your illegal prescription pad out and get yourself something to bring you back down. Now you are calling one of the most distinguished Americans of our time a lier because he doesn't think (and I use this term loosely) like you do. You and "your people" are the reason many moderate Republicans like myself have been running as fast as they can from the GOP for years. Thanks for reinforcing my decision along those lines!

Sounds like old Rush has been visiting multiple pharmacies again....

Rush Limbaugh? Is he even relevant anymore? I thought after he was found out to be a drug addict and had to go to rehab that he was a complete non-entity.

Oh well, ol' Rush has been hitting the pills pretty hard again these days.

I honestly don't believe Colin Powell endorsed Obama because he is black. For Limbaugh to say "Why is it so hard to admit that its race" is then admitting that most of the Millions voting for McCain is about mainly race and that if McCain does win it's because the majority of country is racist.

Just a thought from a Educated Black 19 year-old woman.

I think if Powell was endorsing Sen. Obama purely on race..... the endorsement would have came many many month ago and Powell would be stumping as well...

RL has zero credibility.....

Yeah, so what if it's race? I know a lot of people are staying away from Obama because he is African-American. I would think there are African-Americans that don't want to vote for a white man over an African-American man....big deal. The Powell thing is so not newsworthy. He waits until now to do this? It took him this long to decide what we all knew already.

Who listens to this idiot? Oh, that's right, McCain/Palin supporters listen to this idiot.

I wonder what Limbaugh thinks about McNabb... freakin racist.

Limbaugh why is race a factor here. If Powell would have endorse McCain would you have said Oh McCain has a great endorsement from a high level white man in the White House. I bet you would. Now people let bigot people like Limbaugh and the others cry and moan. Powll is not taking back his endorsement no matter what you say about him. He is a man and I bet you ant sit down with Powell under precondition and tell him he was wrong to endorse Obama.

Whatever Rush, whatever. Don't you have some community service to do for your drug offenses or something?

Lush Rimshot at it again, trying to use Colin Powell to excuse his own blatantly unrepentant racism.

This is the cesspool where self-styled "conservatives" live. There are no new lows, just business-as-usual for the Lush.

Rush Limbaugh is so annoying. CNN didn't you have a better ticker than this drug addict?

Had Powell's endorsement been about race, then he would have endorsed Obama months ago, campaigned for him etc. etc.

Just like Powell said the partyis moving too far to the right. This is why I made my final decision to vote for Obama.

...with his weight, isn't he due for a heart attack? Somebody give him a coupla cheeseburgers to hurry it up...

Sounds like old Rush has been visiting multiple pharmacies again!

Rush Limbaugh is the epitomy of everything wrong with the GOP. He's a very hateful person. He can't admit that Republicans have made many mistakes. He can't acknowledge that Dems have some good ideas. People like him and Hannity keep our country polarized and prevent the "United" States from coming together and supporting common causes.

Well the same could be said about voting for John Mccain only because He's white. How many black guys has Rush voted for? This man(I use the term loosely) is a hate monger!!!!

Hey, Rush! How many other Black liberals has Powell endorsed? Have you worked your fingers to the bone to find that out, too? Could it simply be that Powell thinks Obama is the better choice, regardless of race? Could it be he is right? YES!

I get it, it's ok for all of Obama's supporters to call people who don't support Obama racist, but we can't say anything back. there is nothing more hate filled than an Obama supporter.

Rush, you're despicable.

Idiot...of course Powell is proud that an African-American can become President, but that isn't racism and it is definitely not the sole reason for Powell's endorsement. He was equivocal about why he is supporting Barack Obama. He believes he is the right man for the job, but I feel he only came out to support publicly because of the destructive type of campaign the Republicans are waging. If McCain had picked Lieberman I think Powell might have said nothing or even endorsed McCain. Rush Limbaugh is a mental midget with a soap box to infect people with.

I don't think you (CNN) should be giving Rush a forum and propagating his rhetoric. He needs therapy, but we should be focusing on the positive aspects of Colin Powell's endorsement and not the right wing media who are upset about it.

Although I don't care much about Limbaush–this Presidental race is all about race, age and gender.

Are you inferring that General Colin Powell LIED about why he chose to support Barack Obama's candidacy?

He was very clear in his support of Joe Biden, Barack's intelligence, thoughtfulness, judgement and more. He explained why he waited so long to endorse a candidate. It was clear in his delivery that this was a difficult and serious decision for him. To suggest otherwise is incredulous.

Once again, Rush Limbaugh, you sicken me.

Why do people listen to this ignorant person; he is the reason why we will never rid this country of racism; he is the reason why this country will never move forward or progress....race will always be an issue. This man is filty rich, he don't care about the small person, he's pretending, just to get his racist views across, because there is always some dump, ignorant person like Peggy who will listen and carry the torch for him.

Limbaugh is beyond racist......he's un-American!
Stop putting party before country!
Stop trying to divide our country!
If you don't like it here then get out Rush!

It doesn't what Limbaugh says anymore. His audience has already made up their mind who they are voting for. His opinion is meaningless.

Rush Limbaugh is an ignorant, drug addict coward. He can't seem to formulate an argument on issues or ideas, so he falls prey to the "race" card. Idiot. Say what you will about Powell's role in the Iraq war - prior to that he was an honored, brave soldier who risked his life for this country. He would vote for Obama if Obama were white, muslim, jewish, or hindi. Race and religion don't matter. Intellect, trustworthiness, and temperment do. Did Rush not listen to a word the man said? Just shows how ignorant and desperate he is. Pitiful.

Collin Powell served for his country and even back Bush for the first 4 years. Why are the republicans trying to separate America? First they say pro-americans, anti-americans, and now playing the race card. That is just sad. America is better than this, Rush.

Does anyone watch Limbaugh???? Ha !! I dont! cause hes always been a jerk, and a judgmental Idoit! His opion has never matterd to me. and it never will.

"This was all about Powell and race, nothing about the nation and its welfare," Limbaugh added.
Limbaugh is a disgusting person. If it was about race then why didn't he endorse Obama months ago. I think Powell was clear in how he came to the decision to back Obama. Powell is an American first and foremost. It is evident in the fact that he has served his country for most of his life. That's more than what I can say for Limbaugh. Who does he serve besides himself??

"Just so you know, I haven't come up with any," he said. "I worked diligently on this on the airplane on the trip home from Green Bay yesterday. I can't find any of these inexperienced white liberals that Powell has endorsed."
Well Limbaugh, none of these "inexperienced white liberals" have run against a more despicable, race-baiting campaign as John McCain has. Many White Republicans are turned off by John McCain and have publicly said so. Oh yeah. Maybe they're Black too and we just can't tell.

Limbaugh, this is going down as one of the stupidest things you have ever said.

Rush, Take a chill pill. That is, if your housekeeper can buy some for you.

Does that mean that his opinion and others of the 'right-wing" persuasion are also racially motivated ?

Is that why he is so adamantly oppossed to a black man named Barack Hussein ??

Heaven forbid the USA becomes one nation with everyone equal.

The more we give a voice to these hateful idiots like Rush Limbaugh , and Shaun Hannity. The more we look like fools to the rest of the WORLD !!!!!

Obama was black six months ago. Why would he endorse him only now?

Rusty Limpballs, why hide behind the fact that it is your job to be the Rethugs hitboy. You will do anything to further their agenda, especially make sensational comments about race. So I guess all the white Conservative Repubs who have endorsed him, did it because he is half white. According to your logic that would be true, since Powell gave very similar reasons for the endorsement. You and Buchanan are pathetic.

Why can't you be excited about a candidate on their own merits and also be excited about the prospect of the USA breaking down another barrier as part of the "great experiment"?

Republicans don't seem to have any trouble canonizing black atheletes – in fact – they laud them in every sport imaginable. They've even overcome the concerns over black quarterbacks. So why the outrage over Obama?

Power, or lack thereof, that's why. They want to be in power at any price to the country and the world and they are in the process of losing it.

If Barack Obama wins it's because he got the majority of the support. Limbaugh needs to find another platform. Maybe there is an opening in weather or sports. He never was very good as a political commentator.

He needs to shut his fat mouth and get off the air!!!!

I wonder if he was on oxy-cotton when he said that.

Rush is STILL right!

Patethic saad sorry old man.

Limbaugh's claim that the General Powell's endorsement of Obama must be because of race is outrageous. Limbaugh attempted to defend himself by stating that he was "now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with." Limbaugh does not have to dig too deeply to do his research.

The truth is Powell has endorsed liberal candidates before. I remember him once speaking about a time in 1964, when he was a young man driving in the Deep South and he was pulled over by a Southern sheriff for having a Lyndon Johnson bumper sticker on his car. While LBJ was not "inexperienced," he was "very liberal" and "white." Obviously, Powell thought in 1964 that Johnson was a better choice than Goldwater, just as he thinks today that Obama is a better choice than McCain.

Typical Limbaugh.

Because if it was about race, he would have endorsed Obama a year ago.

He said it specifically that the reason he lost faith in McCain is because over the past several weeks, McCain has demonstrated that he doesn't really have a solid grasp of the economic crisis we're in, and how to fix it.

I am surprised that there are people who listen to his radio talk show. What an idiot.

I don't know if many of you have the stomach to listen to republican talk radio but his morning was simply amazing! The people who called in to say that they knew Powell was a closet liberal and now a racist. All along they have been claiming that Obama was raising race as an issue in this campaign – now since Powell endorsed they are crying foul and claiming Powell endorsed because of race. If this race remains close we are in for some scary times because it will not come down to the issues, but who hates who more which always leads to violence.

Barack is going to give Rush lots of material. He is a comediene who doesn't deserve to be respected.

This is the same guy who pays a black man to say stupid things about black people. It's crazy and moronic.

Obama/Biden 08

We All Know That Mccain Would Have Walked Over His Own Mother For That Endorsement!

is this drug addled PIG paid millions and millions of dollars to spew his ignorant, uneducated garbage?

Obama 2008!

This Rush guy is so quick to comment on everything – comments that only the ignorant ones believe.

But it is surprising that Rush has not made comments about Palin's SNL appereance – how about it Rush? Or is there simply a desire to hide the huge humiliation?

btw, look at Rush's website – only the true hillbilly, ignorant types could believe anything this guy says!

Leave it to Rush to be short sighted that this comparison is between Obama and McCain and not Obama and the rest of Powell's history of endorsements

Rush, Rush, you've been on radio much too long. I don't listen to you hear, mainly I get darn tired of you conservative talk show host, who are really a bunch of idiots, who act like they have the answer to everything! But Rush, you take the cake. You are a racist, if there ever was one. I am a white older American and I will vote for Barrack Obama because I believe he will be helping me, an older person, and he will help the country. Come on, Rush, we gave you guys 8 years to keep this country strong like it was when Clinton was in office and what did you do? Well, look at us now. No jobs, no homes, no allied friends!

But I have lots of black friends!

IF THIS WAS ABOUT RACE, YOU IDIOT, WHY IS IT THAT THERE ARE SOME BLACK AMERICANS THAT ARE REPUBLICANS? IF THAT WAS THE CASE SEN OBAMA WOULD HAVE 100% OF BLACKS. . STOP LOOKING AND SOUNDING REDICULOS.

You thought wrong, Rush.

That's just like saying everyone that's voting for Mccain are voting based on race. It's not because his policies because Mccain is clearly for the rich, most of his supporters are broke. He can't seem to understand that spreading the weath would benefit the rich as much as the poor.

There is a reason why racist radio continues to let Rush Whitesheet speak an their behalf.

I'll tell you what, big boy. It is about race. It's about the intelligent race versus the stupid race. You sir, are of the stupid race. And after 8 years of the stupid race being in power, I'm highly prejudiced against 'stupid'.....I've had enough of it! I'll be voting for the intelligent race this Nov.

Franken had it right: Limbaugh is a big fat idiot - and nothing proves it more than for him to try to contradict Gen. Powell. Where were Limbaugh's questions of Gen. Powell's motives when he was fronting for G. Bush's invasion of Iraq? Hypocrit.

He's absolutely correct. I'm not a fan of Limbaugh...but leftist media (and idiots on this board) are too caught up in not making this about race...that they're purposely painting over the subject.

Truth hurts. There is no other reason other than race for Powell to endorse Obama. Rush has a point.

I wonder what this jerk would have said if Powell had endorsed McCain. My quess is that he would have said too bad this wonderful man is not running .

Who to choose?

Candidate A endorsed by Colin Powell and Warren Buffet, or
Candidate B endorsed by George "90%" Bush...and Rush Limbaugh?

hahahahahaha

IGNORANCE!!!!!!!!!!!Why is this garbage making the news? Rush is an idiot and has always been.

I guess it's "old home day" for the Republican bigots...first Governor Palin and her comments on her support for a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage...and now Rush Blowhard making Powell's endorsement about race. I watched the endorsement yesterday AM and he clearly said that if it was just an issue of supporting Obama because of race, he would have done it months ago. I believe him; if that was the case, Obama could have used his political clout all along, rather than just the last two weeks of the campaign.

can't say i'm surprised

With people like Limbaugh trying to "help" McCain, McCain does not have a chance of ever winning the election. Limbaugh represents the old America of the past, one that needs to be left in the past. With friends like these who needs enemies?

Limbaugh has been complaining for weeks about the Obama campaign playing the "race card," and now he plays it with no sense of irony whatsoever. What a lunatic.

Keep in mind Rush is an entertainer and nothing more. Like Coulter or Stern. Take everything says as means of generating listeners.

The last inexperienced white guy that Powell endorsed was George W. Bush. It doesn't take much research.

Why is this guy even still relevant?

Just another angry bitter republican. Limp-baugh really represents the only people who will be voting for McCain.

Obama 08/12

TO LIMBAUGH AND ANY OF THE REST OF YOU...PLEASE ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME...

DID ANY OF YOU PEOPLE THOUGHT TO ASK TO THIS QUESTION OR MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT IN ANY OTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELELCTION, WHY AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO ENDORSED A "WHITE" PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, SO WHY DO IT NOW?

Limbaugh is a pain even in the side of conservatives..

I have Rush Limbaugh to thank for my support of Barack Obama!
Started back in Feb when he started hateful Operation Chaos.
Became so disgusted by Limbaugh hate-filled politics, I became an Obama supporter and no longer a Republican!
Am a white older woman, who can't wait for President Barack Obama!

Rush is right. I have asked two black friends why they vote for Obama. Answer: He's a black man.

Ignorance, you don't have to back down from your statement, it's who you are and it's ugly.

Why hasn't John McCain critcize Rush attack on General Power? This is what the McCain's campaign is all about. McCain has no honor.

What is wrong about Rush Limbaugh's comment?
It is true, and liberals cant admit this. Powell never endorsed anybody with no experience on ether side, and now he comes with some written comments from Obama campaign about economical isues and other bologna...

You have got to be kidding. Rush Loudmouth is a non-entity and anyone who listens to, or is a fan is a complete moron. This man has made millions promoting racism, hatred, and is greatly responsible for the dumbing of America, especially the Republican base.

Consider the source. I notice today that all the Republican talking heads are scrambling to deny the importance of Powell's endorsement. Imagine if it was the other way around.

I knew Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaugh would be the first to use the race card on Colin Powell endorsed of Obams.. Both are idiots and racist.

Limbaugh is the biggest of all racist.

The RACE will soon be over.

Rush Limbaugh is a moron.

What kind of loser do you have to be to listen and absorb what he's saying. I guess trailer parks all over the country are debating this now.

It's shameful.

Limbaugh probably doesn't even believe his own comment, but he'll try to sell it anyway.

race, smace, can't someone view both men running and decide whom he would prefer?

Just more hate from a true repukican racist.What else can you expect from them? They are the ones that brought race into the discussion so why stop now?a healthy discussion of race is good, his brand nope not for me nor millions of other Americans.Obama transcends race in his broad appeal to an American electorate desperately looking for change and better times ahead. A special thank you to the bloggers suggesting to all to google PNAC.A real eyeopener, especially the primer on them. Interesting reading for all but most importantly the undecideds out there.

Yo Rush, I did not vote for Jesse Jackson when he ran, and I am a black guy.. that would have been historical also i guess its about race huh.....

Seems like Rush is the guy obsessed with race.

Colin Powell is not the type of person to make this endorsement lightly.

Rush Limbaugh is just trying to do damage control on what essentially is a very high profile endorsement by a respected and republican figure.

Powell's endorsement was about leadership, not race.

And why did you expect anything different from Limbaugh. He's made a fortune by pandering to the poorly-informed.

This is typical Rush Limbaugh! There are few people that I can't listen to but Rush is one. It's not surprising is it? If Powell had endorsed McCain he'd (Powell) would be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Rush has once agian proved he is a raving IDIOT and a racist...
Rush, better get to the Dr fast, you're gonna need help dealing with President Obama

limbaugh is scum!

WOW I mean think about it he has been republican voted for Bush and now he switches to democrat, of course it is because Obama is black, how could it be more obvious.

I wonder if he and Sean Hannity share the same parents. Someone said they might be twins. LOL

Limbaugh is a jerk and Powell's endorsement of Obama likely is not about race.

However, when I look back at the primary elections and see more than 90% of blacks voted for Obama.....well, that IS about race. And racist. If more than 90% of whites were supporting McCain you'd hear charges of racism so loud they'd echo across the entire universe!

Tell it like it is.

A typical and predictable response from an arrogant blowhard like Limbaugh. This is no different than how the Republicans are already trying to discredit Obama's soon-to-be presidency by trying to cook up some pathetic "voter fraud" allegations.

Limbaugh refers to Obama as a "man-child", which is a synonym for "boy". THIS GUY IS OVER THE TOP RACIST.

Rush is a joke and is real sad. The only way he can earn a living is be negative and hateful. His comments does not even deserves a response and if people would stop reacting to his tantrums maybe he will cut it out.

Obama/Biden '08

What a shame Limbaugh. So just because Powell is black himself–his endorsement of Obama is because of race? What is the excuse for other high profile republicans that have endorsed Obama, such as Chuck Hagel?

Please. Down with McCain on Nov. 4th.

VOTE FOR CHANGE!

Rush Limbaugh is a pig and anyone who believes the filth that comes out of his mouth is an idiot. Bill O'Reilly comes in a close second to Rush.

There's that brilliant Limbaugh thinking for ya. As for the notion that he's endorsing Obama just because he's black, why didn't he endorse Obama long ago? it's not like he just became black. In fact, Powell donated the maximum allowed to McCain last year. But it can't be that McCain's lack of judgment and behavior during the campaign actually changed Powell's mind, of course. Limbaugh can't imagine that Powell might actually disagree with him for rational reasons, so he has to argue by insinuation that he's really only doing it for racial reasons. I'm waiting for Rush to start talking about negrophilia.

Limbaugh I think is just plain crazy. Why can't people express thier views of likes and dislikes without everyone judgint them. Why didn't he ask McCain why he pick Sarah and why is it Sarah seem as an aroowhead barbie. Limbaugh you did to stick to what you know best be bias and keep you freaking mouth shut just like Palin. You two deserve each other.

Yep I agree with "I see Russia from my HOUSE"!!!!! They don't get it man!!!! This is sick and totally disgusting!!!!!!

Obama 08

I wish this hate monger could just shut up!
Who cares about what he has to say anyway
I worry about his audience

I am not sure why any rational thinking human being would even give the likes of Rush Limbaugh a second thought. This bigot has been spitting out such crap for years. At least he's consistent. Once a bigot, always a bigot. why does identifying this as a historic election make it about race? If that were the case, then everyone who votes for McCain/Palin would be voting for them because it is about sexism. Let's put a female in the whitehouse. Limbaugh is stupid!

Limbreath is a stupid idiot. I'm waiting for a white politician to say they're voting for another white politician because of their race. Why is that ONLY a question for black people? It's stupid and moronic. Rush is an idiot.

By this reasoning, Joe Lieberman endorsed McCain because of race, right? That's my new take, anwyay. Thanks, Rush, for setting me straight!

Hey, I have to admit, I voted based on bigotry too.

I HATE stupid people and secessionists. I can't stand any one who voted 90% with Bush and I can't tolerate anyone who has been convicted of unethical behavior. They are the scum of the earth and I wish we had nobody like that in America, let alone in the senate/presidential race.

The only ticket I could vote for based on my hate for everything corrupt, and wrong with america...was Obama!

Do I want a President who is supported by Powell or one that is supported by Limpbug?

Hmmm, give me a minute....

One of the frightening things about this country is the extent to which certain people actually listen to this fraud. While I don't doubt that it will never happen, I wish the Fairness Doctrine would return and clowns like Limbaugh and Hannity put out of business.

Rush, you are calling Colin Powell a liar. That is outrageous.

My party has been hijacked and manipulated by people such as Rush and comments that, if scrutinized closely, should be conceived as divisive and traitorous.

Limbaugh is a sick racist and everyone pretty much knows that!

And these are the people Mccain wants campaigning for him ??

Of course it's about race. If Obama was white he would be losing by a landslide because he just doesn't have the requisite experience.

Yawn. Rush Limbaugh is a joke. He's almost irrelevant now.

The devisive nature of the hard right will be the down fall of this country. These people are closed minded closet bigots and are the real people who hate America.

I knew the right would say something to this effect.

ITS ABOUT PROGRESSION NOT REGRESSION.

OBAMA 08/12

I am not an African American and I am a woman. I am voting for Sen.Obama.

Rush Limbaugh is one of the most irrelevant hypocrites who has ever lived. Listening to his show is one thing, but have you ever met anyone who actually agrees with what he says? They're insane.

Powell did endorse a inexperienced white guy, his name is George W. Bush.

I want to tell Limbaugh: Here's why the racial quote is important. If Powell only supported Obama because his skin is the same color, then that justifies everyone supporting someone because of the color of his skin, and that is NOT the way to determine how to vote! If Limbaugh isn't really as stupid and clueless as he sounds on this issue, then he is consciously giving reasons to racist whites to vote their skin.

Why is this guy still in the air?

Limbaugh is no longer relevant.

THE REPUBLCAN PARTY IS SO LOST, REAGAN WOULD BE SO ASHAMED.

Russ; Did you actually listen to what Colin Powell said about the direction that the Republican Party has taken? You obviously did not. You judge people by the color of their skin.

I don't understand why people are surprised when Limbaugh says anything. I don't understand why people continue to give him attention. Everybody knows who he is and what he is so I say ignore him. He likes the publicity, can we please stop giving it to him.

Not that it upsets me if powell did it based on race, it is the fact that limbaugh thinks he knows all. the man gave his reasons for doing what he did. what cant limbaugh accepts the reasons. why limbaugh do u think you know better than everyone? make your own decisions and give your reasons for them and stop giving reasons for others. you are so full of it!

Hey Rush, when you vote for a white man is that about race? You have managed to take irrelevant to new lows.

Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama because the Republicans have screwed everything up. Barack Obama is the greatest chance of redeeming the Bush regime. It's frankly a matter of national security that we elect Barack Obama president of the United States

Does that mean that Joe Lieberman supports McCain because he's white? Limbaugh is a moron.

How can you be so arrogant to suggest you know why someone made a discission, especially when Powell said that wasn't the only factor for his discission. I think these white racist crazy people might just burst into flames if Obama is elected. I just don't think they will be able to handle it. But too bad and good riddens.

Why aren't whites questioned when they choose to endorse another white person? Oh, I forgot, they don't have those problems...

Obama '08/'12

I'm not a big fan of Limbaugh, but he makes a great point. Calling this a historic election is a double-edged sword... you can't do that and then call someone racist when they question a conservative-republican's edorsement of the most liberal senator.

Something needs to be done about Limbaugh and people like him. That will be our next mission after we send Obama/Biden to the white house.

We should have a "stop the hate" campaign.

No kidding!! i wonder exactly how Obama will "spread the wealth" that he has accumulated in funding? I don't recal hm spreading the wealth in Hillary's direction! Maybe spreading the wealth doesn't apply to his wealth, and applies only to those peon's that worked hard for what they have. I wonder what charities Obama distributes his wealth to? I wonder how effective he is at hiding his wealth? So many question's and still not enough answer's!! What about his proof of citizenship, maybe I missed that one too!

The reason is that if you listened to Powell, he made a good argument showing his decision was not about race, but about a great many other things...so, the question then is why do people like you want to twist Powell's words and mislead the public? Because you want to minimize, even illegitimize, Powell's historic endorsement.

Shame on you Rush, and all alikes!

So Rush, does that mean that Liberman only endorsed McCain because they are both white??????

Typical jerk Limbaugh....I can't imagine how any sane, rational person would listen to this guy. I truly hope bigots and nutjobs go away soon.

Although I am a life-long Democrat, I have been struggling with voting for our party's candidate, Barack Obama; however, with Colin Powell's endosement, a man whom I have always and the highest regard and respect for, I now firmly believe Obama is the right choice. Because of Colin Powell's integrity, I would find it very hard to believe that race had anything to do with his choice.

So every white man that endorsed McSame should be called a racist too! Limbaugh, you are such a waste. Who cares what you have to say. Why do you always have to be so disrespecful? It must be the lack of respect you have for yourself. Now go away.

This guy needs to get a life!

As I sit here in Iraq, it's people lke Rush Limbaugh who disgust me and make me wonder why????

Rush is not the type of person that I serve in support of. He is what keeps America divided. He is a tiny little man who is afraid to look at him self honestly in the mirror. COWARD!!!!

And I suppose Linbaugh'sn support for McCain is not? Why is the media giving attention to this? Was this not anticipated?

The Quintessential Gasbag speaketh once again. Are remarks like this the only thing this party and its followers can come up with? I think they're mostly upset to see that one by one, people are beginning to see through all of the hype and lies that have been thrust upon us for the last eight years. Let's face it ..... the comfortable grip on power that the Republican Party has had for so long is not an easy thing for them to face losing. Get ready for more and even NASTIER interjections to come from these folks between now and November 4!!! GO OBAMA/BIDEN !!

Despite claims by the McCain camp that the race is narrowing, daily tracking polls on Sunday showed a steady Obama lead.

Gallup had Obama up by 52 to 42 percent among registered voters nationwide, reflecting the last presidential debate last week in which Obama was adjudged the winner by most snap polls.

Rasmussen also had Obama above 50 percent, with a 51 to 45 percent lead

Rush – you are an idiot.

It doesn't surprise me that Rush-to-idiocy doesn't understand this political season. He is old news and is sliding downward by the day.

Well, you know where's Rush's head is. Powell endorsed Obama because he is mad at the Republicans, especially George Bush – that's a fact.

Limbaugh
You are a sore Loser, those are inappropriate comments

This type of push back can be expected from a racist!

that's because there has never been a person like obama in quite sometime. get over it. if he was white I would feel the same way. could care less about race or even religion for that matter.

If it Powell's endorsement was based on race, either primarily or in large part, he would have made such an endorsement long ago, Rush.

Why can`t you just ignore such comments?

Who listens to Rush Limbaugh anyway?

Then how about we all agree that ALL the white people who have endorsed Mccain is because of race.

And ALL the women who supported Hillary was because she was a woman.

Because we all have one track minds and we can't possibly support someone for reasons that are not superficial.

Al Franken was right. Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.

Why are MOST of McCain/Palin supporters so full of HATEFUL words? McCain/Palin started this by trying to DIVIDE and DESTROY our great country. This is WHY I VOTED for Obama 2 weeks ago by absentee ballot.

Rush Limabaugh is the biggest racist of all! He sees in others, what he himself is . What a sad case he is!

Limbaugh is an idiot.

"So what if it's race"

Spoken like a true racist.

Rush Limbaugh is nothing but a jerk.

Rush has helped me decide for Obama. Thank you!

What in the hell is this dope headed bigot talking about?

THIS GUY IS DISGUSTING!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE REASONS WHY MCCAIN WILL LOSE AND AFTER THAT WE WILL SEE YOU CRYING YOUR EYES OUT!!
