Colin Powell, talking to reporters outside NBC's Washington bureau after appearing on "Meet the Press," further pressed his case against McCain and GOP, effectively accusing his longtime friend and the GOP of running a trivial, small campaign.
Most notably, Powell picked up on a point he had raised during the interview that clearly is bothering him.
Referring to Bill Ayers and what he called "who's a Muslim and who's not a Muslim," Powell said: "Those kinds of images, going out on Al-Jazeera, are killing us around the world."
"And we have got to say to the world, it doesn't make any difference who you are or what you are. If you're an American, you're an American."
Side note: Just how closely is Powell following this campaign? Plenty: He knew about and cited Rep. Michele Bachmann's comments. She's the Minnesota Republican whose comments on "Hardball" Friday about Obama and Democratic members of Congress perhaps being "anti-American" have become a big deal in the liberal blogosphere.
