So ridiculous. Taking the “Republicans are racists” card to a whole new level.

With Obama it’s going to be race 24 7, and if you object, or even try to raise a question you will be labeled a RACIST! What a STRATEGY!

Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him........

Huh?

I predicted this a couple of months ago on this very forum, that if obamamamamamam wins the primary, then he would be deemed "untouchable" because he would turn every negative about him as "racism".

That's why Rush was pushing operation Caos so hard to get hillary in there, to be fair game in a match between johnnymac and herself.

This election is going to be a racist-lovers spectacle, and you can expect all of the poverty-pimps and "black leaders" to chime in with their own flavor of racism charges against johnnymac.

However, anyone letting that stop them from pointing out all of obamamamamamam's many shortcomings will be deemed a coward in my book. To the obmamamamites, it doesn't matter that he is practically a muslim who got sworn in on the koran; it doesn't matter if he has only 147 days in the Senate; it doesn't matter that he attended a "hate whitey" church for over 20 years and was stupid enough to not "notice"; all that matters to the hard left obamamamamaites is that he is black.

Now, I AXE you, who is playing "race" here?

If he trys to make it a race issue, he’ll do it. Maybe we should start pointing out the fact that McCain is white. Maybe people don’t know that.

This is one reason that the need to go after Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Rev Wright, Nation of Islam, etc is so important. Show what Obama’s supporters are really like and you’ll show what Obama is like.

I haven't yet met a Republican that has made his race an issue...His policies and his association is his Achilles Heel.

Obama hiumself is a racist, and an abject marxist. Taking a note from the leftist handbook, he is trying to desperately deflect his own racism by projecting it on to others.

From that same article, Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear

He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

LOL. He was reading your mind, Dr. Ursus.

Obama’s wife might just get REAL FEISTY if she happens to listen and hear about the following! But then, she most likely knows all about it already.

Race as an issue is a double edged sword for Obama. While it’s obvious he’s trying to innoculate himself from future Repub attacks (Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleger and other possibly incriminating evidence of he and his wife’s true feelings), the more he talks like a “black candidate” and not the democratic party’s candidate the more white working class blue collar, white evangelical and Spanish voters will shun him. On a side note, I’ve always been curious why Mark McKinnon stated he would not continue as McCain’s media adviser if Obama was the dem nominee. I suspect that he was privy to materials/evidence that will see the light of day during the general election, and he wanted no part of it. I also remember an article in the “Times of London” where a writer stated emphatically that McCain, despite the U S MSM’s hype of the messiah, has a real chance to win the election. Among his strengths that were cited was his willingness to play “dirty.” I believe Rendell, Strickland and Warner took themselves out of contention for the VP slot because they fear being attached to Obama . Jim Webb and Tim Kaine took themselves out the other day by publicly supporting drilling off the coast of VA, a policy at odds with Obama’s (Mark Warner said the other day he also supports drilling, but he had already publicy stated he had no interest in being Obama’s running mate). Why would so many ambitious politicians shun the messiah if there wasn’t a reason?

I'm not afraid of Obama being black. I'm more afraid of him being a Marxist, a socialist, a hater of this country and someone who will listen to his wife, the mouth, and his preacher the racist, to make decisions important to this country of the next four years. We also don't need a person who will sit down with dictators and murderers and address them as president of their countries. We need something better for our country than what Osama bin Obama and John McCain can offer.
