Powell: Nothing Wrong With Being A Muslim in this Country

Andrew Sullivan (whose acting awfully progressive lately) just posted this quote from Colin Powell on the attacks leveled against Obama by the McCain/Palin campaign. Finally, somebody is saying this:

"Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no. That's not America. Is there something wrong with a seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she could be president? Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion that he is a Muslim and might have an association with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America," - Colin Powell, standing up to the disgusting rhetoric and tactics of the McCain-Palin campaign.
