AUSTIN – Eight months into Barack Obama’s presidency, as criticism of his administration seems to reach new levels of volume and intensity each week, the whispers among some of his allies are growing louder: That those who loathe the nation’s first African–American president, and especially those who would deny his citizenship, are driven at least in part by racism.
It’s a feeling that’s acutely felt among those supporters of Obama who are themselves minorities. Conversations with Democrats at an otherwise upbeat Democratic National Committee fall gathering here, an event largely devoted to party housekeeping, reflected a growing anger at what many see as a troubling effort to delegitimize Obama’s hold on the office.

I don’t care for his color. Red.
Exactly!!!
I really didn’t think the democrats would go this far.
It is a desparate, disgusting, Saul Alinsky move.
Whats a “Kayne West”? Seriously.
This isn’t going to work anymore.
They can imply racism, or state it as fact - it is not going to work anymore. Who cares what these a-holes call us? They will be screaming “racism” all the way to hell.
We should laugh and make fun of them every time they use this outdated, overused, communist technique.
Yep.
All would be peaches, cream and flying unicorns-—If only O were Lilly-white instead of half A-rab.
Who cares what they think. They are going to cry racist everytime they don’t get their way or dirty their diaper anyway.
Yawn. They always do.
It doesn’t matter what this post says. They’re going to say it’s racist.
The sun shines. The sky is blue.

LLS
The race card is getting real old, but I have been called alot worse by better people.
Democrats imply race factor for Barack Obama foes
IMPLY?
They are screaming it from the top of their lungs..
Its the only defense they have against the Communist takeover of America.

Race is the ultimate straw man argument. From DU to Politico to Huffington to the mainstream media, they all have their talking points — make it about race and you don’t have to discuss issue. You don’t have to take the other side seriously if you can just dismiss them as racists.
What is amazing to me (OK, it’s really not) is that the mainstream media allows the left to get away with insulting the opposition by smearing them with one of the most offensive slurs in the public discourse. Racists? They might as well stand there and accuse the opposition of child buggery.
I wish every token conservative they invite onto the talking heads broadcasts would calmly and plainly point out what the race charge is — an attempt to demonize the opposition and then directly take the discussion back to the issues.
This rising level of discontent is NOT about race. In fact, it’s directed at Congress as much as it is the White House. Conservatives must be very careful they don’t fall for this ploy. It is a straw man, intended to redirect the discussion away from real issues — nothing more. Don’t fall for it!
I heard even the White House gardener was accused of racism, all he did was went up to the white house and asked “Where is the spade and the hoe?”
How about the race card with the joker paint on it?
