LIMBAUGH: COLIN POWELL WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA AGAIN BECAUSE ‘MELANIN IS THICKER THAN WATER’ | Reviving his feud with former Secretary of State Colin Powell, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said today that the African-American retired general will vote for President Obama in 2012 because “melanin is thicker than water,” referring to the chemical that determines skin color. Powell famously crossed party lines to publicly support Obama in 2008, but said this weekend that he’s not sure if he’ll vote for the president again. Watch it, via RightScoop:

6. This is an old GOP tactic ... take a GOP weakness, and claim ...
it is your opponent's weakness.

Rush knows the GOP has a racism issue ... he FEEDS it.

So rather than DEFEND it ... he flips it ... Powell is a racist, Obama is a racist, Blacks are the "real racist".

This is Rove 101.

11. So Rush just explained why whites will vote against Obama, right?

Did Rush just ADMIT that he's a racist?
