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.

There hasn’t been a single issue where opponents haven’t been characterized as racists.

Good point. You're right. The race card WAS played every time.

They will be screaming “racism” all the way to hell.

Did you see the protester on Saturday that held the sign that read:

"No matter what this sign says, you're still going to call it racist!"

Funny but true.

One of the best signs at the Citizens march Saturday

"It doesn't matter what this sign says, you will call it racist anyway".

I guess it doesn’t matter how many race cards are in the deck when you have a joker for a president.

Kanye West is the polite young man who said that George W Bush hates black people during a nationally televised fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina relief in 2005.

He will also be the very first guest on the Jay Leno Show.

Jeb Bush had no business letting that hurricane get past Florida.

Race factor? Are they saying that people hate his white half or his black half?

Who didn’t predict this? We all knew that any criticism of The Great Spreader would be met with charges of racism. Yes, of course, conservatives would dearly embrace a white president who espoused the same radical leftism of Obama. Now a certain percentage of the nuts leveling the racism charge know that have no argument against the charge that Obama’s a radical leftist except the racism charge. Because they know full well he is a radical leftist. But what it also reveals is the sheer stupidity of many Obama defenders if they don’t realize how radical their boss is. And they’re pretty stupid.

More B.S. from a partisan media shill -- there has *never been a time* during the short public life of Zero when his brainless drone shills and supporters *haven't* accused his opponents of racism. The obvious fact is, the only reason any of his supporters have ever supported him is they are racists. He's a zero, a liar, no record of any accomplishment whatsoever (unless one counts having an extensive personal history as a Moslem under two different assumed names, and getting other Moslems to pay for his schooling and long, unexplained trips to Pakistan), and literally the only reason anyone voted for him is because he's black (however, only his father was part black, the rest being Arab).

The Dims and commies may see the race card as their ace in the hole, but the deck is full of JOKERS!

Juan Williams on FNC now, kinda half-heartedly playing the Race Card - trying to straddle the fence ‘legitimate disagreements, with *racial subtext*’....

He’s got his ‘marching orders’..........

We despise Pelosi, Reid, Murtha and the other white scumbags in the democrat party. This has nothing to do with race but the democrats think they can silence opposition by labeling them racist. It will backfire because white America is sick of race hustlers. They will eventually learn that their underhanded tactics don't work anymore and something has changed.

Racism. The tactic used by individuals that lack the intellect to debate a subject. As I commented before, the only organized racisim left is that practiced by the black community.

He could be lily-white, blue, polka-dotted, striped, and I’d still say: NObama, because of his policies.

Ah, so easy to blame race instead of saying, “Maybe they don’t like what I’m doing....”

All the DemoSocialists and MSM are all laying the groundwork to incite race riots if it begins to look like they are going to lose igtime. All of their shows, all of their “reporters are making false claims of racism against anyone against Obamas policies...But then crying “racism!” has always been the Democrats fallback positiion, since they brainwashed black americans into believing that *they* are thr black mans BESSSSS friends...once they lost out on their tooth and nail fight to block the Civil Rights Act, and lie to black people that it was *Republicans who were the ones against it.

The KKK was born in and of the Democrats. Bull Connor and his cops and dogs were Den=mocrats. They may be not just hid their hoods in the back of their closets, but upo in Grandpa trunk in the attic...But they *still believe they own the black people, and they still are telling them that Democrats know whats best for them, and that they really hate punishing them wjen they stray off the plantation...but they have to make sure everybody stays in line...don’t they?
