- enewsreference, on 08/14/2008, -4/+42Since when does Kristol know what he's talking about... http://enewsreference.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/col ...
- xekko, on 08/14/2008, -5/+43Inaccurate. He's not endorsing anybody: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/13/powell. ...
- rrouse, on 08/13/2008, -9/+34I bet the biggest reason you like McCain is because he's White so naturally you think other people think like you do.
- zephyear, on 08/14/2008, -1/+23when has bill kristol ever made an accurate prediction?
- StMac, on 08/14/2008, -5/+22*****. I doubt Neocon bill kristol has sources inside the obama or powell camps, and even if he did, he would only break this story to mess with any tentative plans.
- DoctorGumbo, on 08/14/2008, -1/+16This story means nothing. Colin Powell may or may not endorse Obama. thanks.
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -1/+14Goddamnit.... Well, good to know racism is still alive and well, I guess. No black person can vote for Obama, because if they do, well clearly they're just voting for him because he's black. No white person can vote for Obama, because if they do, it's just over liberal guilt. Say what you will, but it seems to me that it's the Republicans that can't seem to see beyond the color of his skin, given their propensity to accuse all of his supporters of only supporting him because he's black.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/24/jon-stewa ... - SpinningHead, on 08/14/2008, -3/+15Is that why Powell endorsed Jesse Jackson in 2000? Oh, wait...
- elshizzo, on 08/14/2008, -11/+22I think its very funny that nearly all respected political figures in this country, even republicans like powell, are endorsing Obama over McCain. It shows how pathetic your party has become.
- Neiby, on 08/14/2008, -1/+11Kristol is an uber-neoconservative. He surely "leaked" this info for political reasons, and considering the types of people he hangs with and the policies he supports, it probably isn't a very good political reason.
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -7/+17McCain staffers have nothing better to do than troll a bulletin board. How pathetic,
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -0/+10Well, I think that makes perfect sense. It's becoming more and more apparent, especially with McCain's campaign, that traditional conservatives are not welcome in the Republican party. Gone are the days of fiscal responsibility and of putting aside petty partisan politics for the greater common good, At one point, McCain represented one of the last bastions of that type of conservative thinking in the Republican party. But, as we've seen with his presidential campaign, he's thrown all of that aside to push a Neocon agenda. Not that I necessarily blame him, it's the only way he could run as a Republican in this day and age, but it's all the more evidence that the Republican party just isn't what it used to be.
- akchrs, on 08/14/2008, -0/+9Powell spokeswoman Peggy Cifrino has strongly denied Kristol’s report, saying there is “absolutely no truth to it whatsoever.”
- sircomix, on 08/14/2008, -1/+10I know- he didn't even realize that he'd eventually end up with Sally by the end of the film.
- tcbishop12, on 08/14/2008, -16/+24Colin Powell's endorsement is just the tip of the iceberg of a lot of Republican party faithful leaving McCain to support Sen. Obama.
Whatever reason anyone might ascribe for the endorsement that differs with Powell's reasons will be largely irrelevant.
Because the contrary spin will be greatly overshadowed by the plop and stench of the monster crap the McCain campaign will be taking when the endorsement of the former Gulf War Commander and Secretary of State airs coast to coast on national TV. - kponto, on 08/14/2008, -2/+10Who's black?
- bentman78, on 08/14/2008, -0/+8Who ***** cares who Colin Powell is endorsing?
I base my vote on issues and who I think is going to be the best candidate for the job, now on what someone else thinks. - omenmedia, on 08/14/2008, -1/+8Well... his Project for the New American Century think tank did state in 2000 that they needed "a new Pearl Harbor" in order to bring about swift, revolutionary change. Strange that they got their wish in September 2001, isn't it? Could this be classed as an accurate "prediction"?
- DaDrake, on 08/14/2008, -1/+8All I know is if Colin Powell endorses Obama, he will no longer be one of Bush's cronies on Digg... he will be an enlighten knight in shiny army defending all the fluffy animals in sunshine world.
- Lyk4n, on 08/14/2008, -3/+9OC73 I've heard more racially motivated comments, to include monkey jokes, come from you than any one else here on Digg. Why do you hate people who are different than you? Are you really that simple minded?
- More4, on 08/14/2008, -2/+8On March 17, 2008, Kristol was widely criticized for poor journalism due to his reliance upon an unreliable news source. On August 9, 2007, Newsmax freelance reporter Jim Davis reported that Barack Obama was in attendance on July 22, 2007 during a controversial sermon giving by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. at Trinity United Church of Christ in South Chicago, Obama's place of worship. The claim that Obama was in attendance for this particular sermon was repeated by Newsmax as fact again on March 16, 2008. Kristol relied upon the erroneous NewsMax articles in his op-ed article in the New York Times on March 17, 2008. This prompted the following retraction and apology by Kristol later in the day, "In this column, I cite a report that Sen. Obama had attended services at Trinity Church on July 22, 2007. The Obama campaign has provided information showing that Sen. Obama did not attend Trinity that day. I regret the error."
- brentinkc, on 08/14/2008, -0/+6Not to keen on the reply button huh?
- zyklon, on 08/14/2008, -4/+10You do realize that Powell jumped the sinking ship of the Bush administration because he realized that being a lying ***** like Alberto Gonzales will only get you hunted by the American people for war crimes.
- thelastcivilian, on 08/14/2008, -2/+7You're an idiot. If the Obama campaign could get to Fox News talking heads as easily as this, the race would already be over.
- Mightbiteyou, on 08/14/2008, -2/+7I like how just in the title it goes from "may" to "likely" if this story gets picked up a few more times hopefully it gets to "Powell to join Obama in a civil union", also already bury as inaccurate as xekko pointed out
- vbullinger, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Oh, gee, one CFR member says another CFR member is going to endorse another CFR member.
Who cares?
Anything that any neocon says should be thrown into the trash: they're a bunch of Machiavellian, lying douchebags. Nothing they say is of any substance and they're all evil. F-them. - Waiting2awake, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Does Powell have inside information that could bring down Bush and friends? YES.
Has he come forward to help America and Americans with this information? No.
Regardless on anything else - those two things, should tell you all you need to know about that man and where his loyalties are. Digg me down, but your country deserves better,. - kingofinternet, on 08/14/2008, -17/+21get a life vexingmods
your mother would be ashamed of you if she were still alive - guntario, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Why would I be worried who Powell endorses? He's one of the reasons we got into the Iraq war. Doesn't anyone remember his speech to the U.N.? How he presented the little vial of ricin and discussed aluminum tubes? He should be in jail with the rest of the Bush administration.
- dafragsta, on 08/14/2008, -2/+6uuuuuh.
http://digg.com/politics/Powell_flips_the_bird_has ...
/yes it's my submission. - Hetman, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Is this the same Colin Powell that helped manipulate half the ignorant Americans citizens into a war of aggression against a nation that had nothing to do with 911? I am just saying if I was Obama I do not know if I would want this endorsement.
- Valujet, on 08/14/2008, -2/+6Since Kristol is saying this, you can be assured that Colin Powel will endorse anyone but Obama and he will probably not be in the US during the DNC.
- Waiting2awake, on 08/14/2008, -1/+5an enemy of the truth is an enemy. Regardless if he is a jackass or an elephant.
- Erythroxylum, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3That presentation he gave to the UNSC on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs and the urgent need to invade was done, uh, like, under hypnosis. Or something.
- Roger_Ramjet, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Kristol gets it completely wrong and Powell has said so. CP told Mort Kondrake that he's not endorsing Obama, he's not speaking at the DNC convention.
Wishful thinking from the fever swamp. - tcbishop12, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Character counts.
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4"Buried for OBVIOUSLY having NOTHING to say"
That's the same reason I auto-bury you. Oh, and to quote an ***** "Did you enlist yet?" - licnyc, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4OBAMA's BLACK!?!
- BXRWXR, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Well, the second half of the login is apropos.
- BXRWXR, on 08/14/2008, -10/+13That's because they don't have real jobs. Think about it, what do they honestly have to do all day. He's not going to win, so they're all phoning it in and playing the Demoncrat game.
"Same old, same old - damn old. McCain '08." - rootnik, on 08/14/2008, -2/+5Whether you like the man or not, it would matter. Powell is highly respected by Republicans, and his endorsement would not only cause other Republicans to come out and endorse but would make many hard core Republican voters give Obama a second thought.
- Vodd9, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3Are we talking about the same guy who presented fake evidence to the UN?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYBA9JD5oW4 - Cuchanu, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2I don't know if I believe that Obama is getting a lot of Republicans. More than Kerry, sure. It seems like there are scores of Republicans dissatisfied with the new McCain (or the old one for that matter) but I still think that most wont turn to Obama. They may respect him and his character, but he is still politically a liberal.
- stevetrojanman, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Yeah...that's why Obama is soooooo far ahead in the polls...all the republicans are abandoning ship...
You might want to think outside of the Digg box for a moment and get a dose of reality into your system...
...and I don't even like McCain...but I don't like Obama more - mrferg, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Exactly, my dad admires Powell, but not enough to overcome his blind hatred of all things Democrat.
- inactive, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3Buried for inacurate title (actually a complete lie but i'm being generous). Buried for being more
Obama spam. But, more importantly, buried for being from the extremist liberal cesspool, thinkprogress. - HaSatan, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3Hopefully Billy Kristol doesnt do another City Slickers sequel.
- Bagos1, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Dig it down moron//// I certainly hope I'm in the same foxhole as you.
