American Media Wake Up to 'Ugly Innuendo' on Islam, but only after Colin Powell’s intervention
Colin Powell had been bugged by many things in his party’s campaign this fall: the insidious merging of rumours that Barack Obama was Muslim with intimations that he was a terrorist sympathizer; the assertion that Sarah Palin was ready to be president; the uniformed sheriff who introduced Governor Palin by sneering about Barack Hussein Obama; the scorn with which Republicans spit out the words “community organizer”; the Republicans’ argument that using taxes to “spread the wealth” was socialist when the purpose of taxes is to spread the wealth; Palin’s insidious notion that small towns in states that went for W. were “the real America.”
