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.

Maybe they’re right. I did not care a bit for bill (slick) clinton and he was the first black president, so i must be a raciest

Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Obamaism all want to be elevated to the status of the “N”-word.

As I posted before on another thread, I have no problem with his color—I have real problems with “the content of his character”!

again I say, “If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, attacking your opponent as a racist is the sanctuary of the intellectually destitute.”

Yawn. When all else fails, bring out the old, tattered race card.

It's not going to work this time. Oboma is an epic failure. He can't use his color to cover it up anymore.

When a RATs smell defeat, their only defense is “RACISM”.

What a bunch of losers!

This is much more like the Joker in my deck of cards.

I don’t like arrogant or downright stupid. That is MY first trigger of dislike. When will the media come to the conclusion that NObama is half-white??? Then who is practicing racism??

IMO, the racism is coming from NObama. We are just bouncing it back.

Geeeez- Austin is pretty Liberal. IF they are getting tired of NObama, perhaps his days are numbered.

This one wasn’t hard to predict. This is exactly why the dims nominated a black person, to be able to use the race card at their convenience. Problem is that pelozi, reed and most of their media is not black, but share the same ideas. Sorry, that dog won’t hunt.

It’s the socialism, stupid. It has nothing to do with race.

Time to call them

RACERS

Those who inject race into every issue, especially those issues where criticism is being levelled at leftist policies.

are driven at least in part by racism.

Alinski - RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

The left sees only his black side, I guess. No one else seems to be bothered by either color.
Now, his communism is another story! THAT bothers me.
