• Colin Powell: There’s a ‘Dark Vein of Intolerance’ in the Republican Party

  In reply to horseman43.

  You sir, are a racist and probably a secret Democrat agent provacateur. Black people are under attack, and it is by slave owners of all races who have been affiliated with the Democrats for almost a century. The Dems know that by keeping African Americans on welfare, they can keep them enslaved. CL Bryant, a leading Tea Party figure has realized this and wants to wake blacks up. Senator Tim Scott agrees. He grew up with a single parent in a Southern ghetto and worked his way out through embracing the free market.

• Colin Powell: There’s a ‘Dark Vein of Intolerance’ in the Republican Party

  “Dark vein of intolerance”? That quote alone sounds pretty racist. Maybe Colin and his friends are the real racists in the Republican party.

  Of course, he loves to accuse the fiscal conservative/Tea Party wing of his party of being racist. Colin, how many of your fellow moderate Republicans are of ethnic minorities? I can’t think of any other than Powell and Rice. How many from the fiscal conservative wing of the GOP are of ethnic minorities? I can name at least a dozen well known ones in the House and Senate – Puerto Rican Rep. Raul Labrador, Mexican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Cuban Sen. Marco Rubio, Cuban Sen. Ted Cruz, African-American Sen. Tim Scott, Arab American Justin Amash… With regards to Governors we have Mexican Susana Martinez, Indian Bobby Jindal and Indian Nikki Haley. And there’s a lot of other minority Tea Partiers outside politics – African-Americans like Allen West, Mia Love and CL Bryant to name just a few.

  The Tea Party are returning the Republican Party to it’s original values and belief in equal rights, championed by Calvin Coolidge, Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Many Republican moderates were originally racist Democrats who switched party in the 70s. We Tea Partiers are here to take back the Republican Party and return it to it’s former glory and it’s clear that we have supporters among all races.
