What an idiot you are O'Reilly. Read Mark Shields' column today if you want to know the full story behind what General Powell is reacting to: http://www.creators.com/opinion/mark-shields.html. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The Republicans have benefited in the last several campaign cycles from lying, cheating, stealing, making hypocritical accusations, and throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. That's the patented Republican Brand that's finally getting tossed off the shelves and into the garbage. McCain, who was a victim of it himself, charted a course toward the same dumpster when he allowed his campaign to get into the same kind of thing. It is too bad the Democrats have not been a little more careful to keep from fighting back in ways that might seem similar, particularly when misrepresented, but they are only human. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
And by the way, it's pretty comical to see a minor-league, wagging mouth like yours trying to acknowledge that General Powell, who so greatly outclasses you in stature and credibility, "loves America and has contributed greatly to it." Talk is so cheap, isn't it O'Reilly?

Sir;... It just goes to show that some people's party is the Nation of America, and tha t party is sorely in need of new and good ideas with effective leadership to make them real... You might be easier to understand if you would get your mind out of your behind... The rich are not good because they are rich, any more than the poor are bad because they are poor... Most of us work, and most of us work hard... We deserve our lives too, and the fact that the rich get our wealth too easily only means they are more willing to piss it away... If they did not demand war we would not need money to pay for it... If their wealth did not spread poverty we would not need them to pay their share... We have to face reality...WE can't deny it; as is your privilage... WE HAVE TO FACE REALITY or it will run us into the grave individually, and as a nation... Only money allows you to deny reality... That is why wealth is every ones drug of choice...The only problem is that it is one economic pie and one people we are talking of here... One man's gain is another's loss... It's an old fact; but I repeat it because it is true... But played out on a national level, the super wealth of an incredible few is making us all poor, miserable, and hopeless... You must get out some times.... You must watch the real news occasionally... Don't you understand that this economy of wannabee kings has made us all slaves??? Wake up and smell the gin...
