Another typical, white lefty DemocRAT playing the race card. Wonderful!!!

I get it: if you criticize a white man, it’s okay, but if you criticize a black man, it’s racism. Makes perfect sense. In other words, no criticism of Franklin Raines is permissible, even if it’s grounded in fact and relevant.

The Obama supporters in the media seem desperate.

The corrupt MSM, and Time, are trivializing racism by making these ridiculous charges.

There is very real racism in this country, but the McCain ad is not it.

0 chose Johnson to lead his VP selection committee, but AFAIK, Johnson was not previously advising Team 0. Raines was a known adviser to Team 0 - that’s why the ad shows him and not Johnson.

Cry race and loose the hounds of sleeze!

Let me stipulate: Obama's Fannie Mae connections are completely fair game. But this ad doesn't even mention a far more significant tie--that of Jim Johnson, the former Fannie Mae chairman who had to resign as head of Obama's vice presidential search team after it was revealed he got a sweetheart deal on a mortgage from Countrywide Financial. Instead, it relies on a fleeting and tenuous reference in a Washington Post Style section story to suggest that Obama's principal economic adviser is former Fannie Mae Chairman Frank Raines. Why? One reason might be that Johnson is white; Raines is black.

I just hopped in from another Fannie Mae thread that called out Obama's connections to Jim Johnson. The lead poster correctly said that Obama is up to his eyeballs in corrupt CEOs.

Why call them all out in one ad? Why give him an opportunity to label an entire ad "a lie" on the basis of him disagreeing with a charge leveled about ONE corrupt figure?

Time Lies Warner needs to be defunded. Our tax dollars should not fund their partisan yellow journalism in our schools and public libraries.

How LOW we have come when just showing a PICTURE of a Black man is RACIST! These lefties are RACIST themselves.

[nonsporting]

If people think the cries of "racism" are bad now, just imagine what it'll be like, if Obama gets elected. We will be beat up for the next 4+ years by this same charge, if any should take a principled stand against any of his/Dems socialist policies.

Obama delendus est!

Keep playing the race card leftists. It will really help. The left-wing media is criminal propagandists.
