“Not only am I not comfortable with what Governor Romney is proposing for his economic plan, I have concerns about his views on foreign policy,” Powell said during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” — adding that the Republican nominee had “some very, very strong neo-conservative views” and describing Romney’s foreign policy vision as a “moving target”.This is interesting. Is it just a case of you Negroes sticking together? Or is it a Bushite hating on Romney thing? Naw, that couldn't be it; didn't Condi endorse Mitt?
Anyway, it seems that this election is breaking down along racial lines. Colin is supposed to be "post racial" so maybe his endorsement will bring some of those other folks over to O's side. O, No matter what these Negroes tell you, you can't beat Flipper without the white vote. (Obama is trailing Romney by 33% for the white male vote.) White folks still make up about 75% of people who will actually vote in this country. Most of these Negroes will not be voting come election day. They will have other things to do, such as watch television and shop for clothes.
Finally, Sarah Palin took offense to folks saying that her "shuck and jive" statement about the president was racist. She actually used a variation of the "some of my best friends are black, meme".
"For the record, there was nothing remotely racist in my use of the phrase “shuck and jive” – a phrase which many people have used, including Chris Matthews, Andrew Cuomo, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney to name a few off the top of my head. In fact, Andrew Cuomo also used the phrase in reference to Barack Obama, and the fact that Mr. Cuomo and I used the phrase in relation to President Obama signifies nothing out of the ordinary. I would have used the exact same expression if I had been writing about President Carter, whose foreign policy rivaled Obama’s in its ineptitude, or about the Nixon administration, which was also famously rocked by a cover-up.
I’ve been known to use the phrase most often when chastising my daughter Piper to stop procrastinating and do her homework. As she is part Yup’ik Eskimo, I’m not sure if this term would be deemed offensive when it’s directed at her or if it would be considered benign as in the case of Chris Matthews’ use of it in reference to Rachel Maddow."

So there you have it. Sarah's daughter is part Eskimo and she uses the phrase to her. So of course that makes it alright to use the same offensive phrase when speaking about the black guy in the White House.
That, my friends, is called wingnut logic.
