And Colin was offended by the whole "is Obama a Muslim" meme that many in the campaign have pushed. Can you name one person associated with the campaign that has even remotely suggested Obama is a Muslim? No, you can't. Because it hasn't happened. While he doesn't mention it, I am sure the campaign implying Obama isn't a "true" American Same question on this subject? Nope. You can't. Obama is not trying to divide Americans against themselves. By imposing his extremism on those of us who are more rational about where the mainstream is, he is trying to divide us.

CJ, I see your point, but I don't think Powell is giving McCain any credit or acknowledgement for dealing with, say, the woman who thought Obama was an Arab. That woman, more than anything else, put McCain in a very uncomfortable position. Nor do I think Powell is stupid enough to think that Obama isn't knowingly allowing the attack dogs on the left do their thing, starting with the alpha dog himself, Joe Biden. One mention of that from Powell would have been good enough for me. Maybe Powell sees no difference between "Obama is an Arab" and "Obama by association w/ Ayers is a terrorist." But personally, I also see no difference between "Obama is an Arab" and "Bush is Hitler," the latter spoken by the same people who once considered Powell to be a sell-out. Tenchusatsu
