Ret Army Col Wilkerson Blasts Sununu, GOP: 'Full Of Racists'

Lawrence Wilkerson, Former Colin Powell Aide, Blasts Sununu, GOP, As 'Full Of Racists' (VIDEO)

Retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson made the comment in response to Mitt Romney campaign surrogate John Sununu's suggestion on Thursday that Powell's endorsement of President Barack Obama's re-election was motivated by race. Wilkerson, who served as Powell's chief of staff when the general was secretary of state during the first George W. Bush term, told Schultz that he respected Sununu "as a Republican, as a member of my party," but did not "have any respect for the integrity of the position that [Sununu] seemed to codify."

When asked by Schultz what, if anything, the remark said about the attitudes of the Republican Party, Wilkerson said:

My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people -- not all of them, but most of them -- who are still basing their positions on race. 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.

The retired colonel also said that "to say that Colin Powell would endorse President Obama because of his skin color is like saying Mother Theresa worked for profit."

Nice to hear someone from the Party actually admit what we already know... Imagine my surprise.

When 90% of African-Americans vote for Obama, you think it isn't related to race?
When 90% of Mormons vote for Romney, you think it is related to religion?
When 75% of the residents in a state vote for a native son form President, you don't think that is favortism?

from the title of this thread....

LOL...this coming from our resident racist.

Do you approve of what Sununu said Becky?
