Talk about an idiotic assertion, but the Associated Press just claimed that Governor Sarah Palin is a racist for saying that Obama used to "pal around with terrorists." According to the AP's Douglass K. Daniel, Palin is a racist because the word "terrorist" is construed now-a-days to mean a "dark-skinned radical Muslim" so that makes her a "racist" in his blinkered view.
See, it isn't overt, according to Daniel, but there is a "subtext," don't you know? And, yes, he's serious with this absurd claim, sadly. This Olympics award winning back stretch has to be seen to be believed.

FAIL.
Keep running these stories AP! It only helps Palin/McCain.
Ayers is white, and he IS a terrorist. Maybe Palin hates white people?
We need to boycott AP, and any newspaper who uses AP.
Put the evildoers out of business!
There can be no more tolerance for the lying slandering MSM.
Don’t give them another click or second of your viewing time.
Proof that these people got nothin!
At AP.
Actually, by labeling a non-Islamic person a terrorists, Palin is helping to break they myth that ALL terrorists are Muslim. Seems to be the AP is the racist ones here.
The idea that "Muslim" means "dark-skinned" is racist in itself--there are millions of Muslims who are as light-skinned as any European of Christian descent.
Making it clear that white people must not criticize Obama or they will be deemed “racists” is likely worth a few points for McCain.
This is just like any discussion about racial preferences. If you claim that people who oppose racial preferences for minorities are racists then you are likely to piss them off and motivate them to vote against you at the same time.
Also, this article shows that the left knows Obama is in deep trouble if his radical left-wing creepy biography becomes an issue here in the last month of the campaign (you know, the biography they’ve yet to critically examine).
Keep it up, Gov. Palin!
Racists are people who vote for someone Only because of the color of their skin.
The liberal white boys down at the Ass. Press throwing the race card again. Cool. Where would the white boy Commies be without it?
Who, exactly, runs the AP? This is so ridiculous it’s obscene. This is NOT what a wire service is supposed to do. Or am I just too naive?
Sermon was about this sort of stuff this morning.
Pastor decided to tell the story of how the 10 commandments came to be and pointed out how much baring false witness we are seeing that in this election cycle.
Obvious who he was talking about.
RACE CARD ALERT!
good. Now how is BO not a racist, talking about “typical white person”’s and their “”inbred” behavior?
“Keep running these stories AP! It only helps Palin/McCain....”
Agreed.
When the crypto-Communists start playing the race card it is the political equivalent of using nuclear weapons.
It means that the ads are drawing blood.
