Your Thoughts Re: Larry King asks Gen Colin Powell if GOP is afraid of Limbaugh?
GOP afraid of Limbaugh?
Powell, who has previously been critical of radio host Rush Limbaugh, restated his opinion that members of his party ought to do the same. "The problem I'm having with the [Republican] Party right now is that when he says something that I consider to be completely outrageous and I respond to it, I would like to see other members of the party do likewise, but they don't," he said. Watch Powell talk about Limbaugh and the GOP »
Asked whether he thinks Republicans are afraid to take on Limbaugh, Powell pointed out that several prominent Republicans have criticized Limbaugh but that "within 24 hours, they were backing away because there is a strong base of support for Mr. Limbaugh. If the party is going to succeed in the future, the advice I'm giving to my Republican friends is you've got to find some way to reach out and draw moderates and independents more toward the right so that we can build a party that will win," Powell said. "A base, as I've said before -- the base is no particular use if all you can do is sit on it and you can't build on it"...

Thank you sister Jen, we must begin to start going to these links provided on this and other Alfrican-American social networkings sites , because this is the only way that we will be able to help put an end to the actual voices in our community to only be given by the "media talking head" and the White man being the only expert on our being BIA, as it always has been...we must continue to do this so that we can begin to demand equal attention for Black social networking on our P-U-B-L-I-C air waves as those like Youtube and the Huffington post gets.
That is if we believe that we are being DISCRIMINATED AGAINST...yes we can(smile)
...again thank you sister Jen and all of you who put up these links as a form of protection against racism in America as well as all over this planet called Earth and on the right-wings' planet Stuck on Stupid. LOL
