Obama once again resorted to the politics of racial divisivenes in his quest for the Presidency. In a speech in Missouri on Wednesday, Obama suggested McCain would try to scare voters into not voting for Obama. Here is the quote:

The Obama camp has tried to argue they were NOT referring to race when Obama mentioned looking "like all those other Presidents" but rather to being a Washington insider. I gotta call bullshit. Anyone who believes Obama meant anything other than race when he made that specific comment is lying to themselves.

Dick Cheney: "SO...?"

Nice to know where you stand, Helice. Interesting though...

It certainly was a stupid remark for Obama to make, and was certainly playing the race card, although one could argue that George W. Bush doesn't look much like the Presidents on money either.

She stands with Dick Cheney. Do you find something wrong with that?

My position is that, yes, Obama "played the race card", when he made the comment about not looking like former presidents that had appeared on currency.

A) He's right. He doesn't. Neither does Bush or McCain, ugly suckers the whole lot of them, not fit for money.

B) Why is the McCain camp mewling and peeing submissively to the press about this great big "race card" as though Obama had dealt them a mortal blow when he made the comment? Was it a mortal blow?

Was it a terribly unfair comment to make? Did the McCain campaign ever do anything that was overtly or covertly racist that would prompt such a "race card" to be thrown on the table?

I think it was definitely a race card. I am keen to know why the McCain camp seems to be fainting and weeping and holding perfumed hankies to their noses for the horror of it all. What kind of pansies are those guys? Why can't they just smile, say "We did/didn't mean what he thought we meant, and that thing does/doesn't describe how we feel", and walk away whistling, leaving the public thinking "Wow, McCain's really cool!"

This pathetic weeping on the shoulder of a disinterested rpess is hurting McCain more than helping him in the press, unless his big strategy is to go with "Elect helpless, feeble old man who can't fight for himself and crys when challenged!"

Sheesh. I hate politics. Sure it was a race card. Why would anyone even need to state it? The thing is, how is it being responded to? With strong, confident, vital energy? Or feeble sighs and pathetic groans of "No fair, I'm tellin' the teacher on you!"

Feh.

Here is the thing, Helice...McCain said nothing at all to motivate the Obama comments. Obama was telling his audience things he claimed the McCain camp would say in an effort to dissuade them from voting for Obama. In short, Obama was calling McCain a racist who would resort to racist rhetoric to get people not to vote for Obama.

McCain was quite right to call Obama on that attempt. As the McCain camp stated in its protest, an unrebutted lie takes on the ring of truth. Whats more worrisome to me is that the likes of you and Dax do not similarly call Obama on this blatant effort to sow racial discord and instead criticize McCain for taking offense. I compare this event to the outpouring of complaint about the satirical New Yorker cover. That sure riled the left up, didn't it...? Yet...not a peep about Obama's race baiting tactics. The double standard is glaring. I thought you leftists were against hypocrisy...I guess not.

He doesn't look like all the other Presidents on Mt. Rushmore either...

And he doesn't look like those other Americans who spoke in Berlin. How do I know? Because Obama went to great effort to mention to the Germans that HE didn't look like "those other Americans." And you know why, don't you? It's because he's black! No really.

Barrack Obama makes sure he reminds everyone he's black at every campaign opportunity. Even this last one when he made sure that everyone KNEW he thought John McCain's campaign would probably make an issue of Barrack Obama being black as a scare tactic. Black, black, black, black, black. NOT that he's running at THE "Black Candidate." It's just that he wants everyone to know that IF John McCain tries to make an issue of Obama's race, well, at least we'll know why. It's because Obama is black. 'Cause he says so.


...and says so.


...and says so.


P.S. Barrack Obama is black.

Pleeeese! You are joking, right? Guys like Obama and Halle Barry know they are halfrican because Rush told em! Did you really think Obama called himself "black"?
