It's time to play the race card

Washington Times ^ | Wesley Pruden

The Democratic National Committee released a video clip Monday of the president rousing his troops with what Politico, the Capitol Hill political paper, calls with artful euphemism, "unusual demographic frankness." The auguries for November do not look good, the president concedes, and he wants "young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again." Many of these "surge" voters cast their first ballots in 2008 and then ignored pleas to turn out for gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia (or that famous Senate race in Massachusetts) and the Democrats took a licking.

No candidate, Democrat or Republican, would take the risk — real and even frightening — of drawing the race card unless absolutely necessary, of course, "absolutely necessary" defined as the occasion when his survival is at stake. Mr. Obama's survival is not yet at stake, but if a calamity like the big blowout of '94 falls on the Democrats again this year the president's prospects for re-election in 2012 would dim considerably. Now's the time for unusual demographic frankness of the kind that the Barack Obama of 2008 so eloquently denounced with word if not always in deed.

rats know they are in trouble unless they get out the black and hispanic vote and that is why bozo played his racial politics the other day.

imagine if Bush or Sarah said we need and want those white Christians to come out and vote for us again .
The media would be up in arms with their racial poltics but no bozo gets away wiht it again

The MSM will be running this racial card right up until election time now to get the black commmunity out and angry

no red states, no blue states, well where is the GOP saying about this , why are they not calling out these race baiters, staying silent does not work and one would think they would have learned this by now

Everything tot he far left is about colour, religion, etc and it makes me sick.
Throughout history they have always been playing race and they get away with it because people stay silent on the subject.

The GOP should remind who were the KKK, who were against civil right, which party MLK was for, who did segregation for the military

yep all the rat party s GOP get your mouth open and tell the black community and the dumb far left what true history is about

opening line...I’m betting we get to Post 15 before “Ace of Spades” is mentioned. Ooops.....

"young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women" = What percent of voters? We need to educate these people on what The Great Society did and what progressives have done since then just to get votes a la Cloward-Piven and race-baiting propaganda. More discussion of the basics of free enterprise Capitalism = small business = Jobs + smaller government, lower taxes, etc. Duh. . . I know the 3rd generation ones seem hopeless, but . . maybe not if we aggressively explain things to them and focus on Helping their Kids with this information. . .

Every day is a good day to play the race card for BO. He takes victimhood to a new level.
