Despite all the lies, hate speech and crazy talk flying around during this 2012 election cycle, I do occasionally hear a courageous soul telling it like it is. I was watching the Ed Show last night when Col. Lawrence Wilkerson commented on John Sununu's suggestion that Colin Powell endorsed President Obama because of his skin color:
“My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people, not all of them, but most of them, who are still basing their decision on race,” Wilkerson said. “Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that’s despicable.”
