He straightforwardly eviscerates the "Obama is Socialist" meme from the McCain campaign by calmly pointing out that all taxes are a "redistribution of money" and are "necessary for the common good." Frankly, I wish Obama would defend himself in this manner.
I was also touched by Powell's reference to U.S. Army Corporal Kareem R. Khan which I would hope provides a frame of reference to shame (On this point, I give up on reason.) purveyors of anti-Muslim sentiment and attempts to link Obama with the Muslim faith.
The photo essay from the New Yorker that Powell references is viewable here. The picture of Khan's mother at his grave site is number 16.
Additional Khan links here and here.
Last week, Campbell Brown also had the guts to confront the "Muslim as slur" mentality.
