The Race Card Has Been Played!

Today Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic presumed nominee for the office of the Presidency of the United States, Junior Senator from the great state of Illinois, and the first African-American to win any parties nomination has announced that his opponent, John McCain will use Obama's race against him to win votes.

"The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy.

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run,” said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. “They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. ‘He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?’"

Never once in the whole campaign have I or anyone else ever heard or read that John McCain comment on Obama's race or religion. If anything he has been a gentleman and refused to allow his campaign to stoop to such low levels.

But the Obama camp, which is already complaining of dirty tricks being used, has begun to stoop down to the level of the sewer. It was the Obama campaign that used dirty tricks to destroy Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House. And now they will try to use the same tactics against John McCain.

"They’re going to try to make me into a scary guy,” he said last week. “They’re even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?" And so that drumbeat – 'we’re not sure if he’s patriotic or not; we’re not sure if he is too black.'

"I don’t know, before I wasn’t black enough," said Obama. "'Now he might be too black. We don’t know whether he’s going to socialize – well, who knows what.'"

This is called playing the Race Card. And you have read it hear first. Obama was the first one to use it.

This is a tactic used by Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton to blackmail corporations, schools and towns into doing their bidding. Obama learned the lesson well from those two and from his mentor is victimhood Jeremiah Wright.

What Barack Hussein Obama said today was not that my opponent will use my race against me, but if you don't vote for me, you are a racist.

No Senator. Not voting for you doesn't make me a racist. It makes me a well-informed voter who has looked at your record (or lack of it), watch you flip-flop on almost every issue, examined your idea of foreign policy, looked at the background of your advisors and senior campaign workers, examined your idea of an economic policy, listened to the hateful speeches of your wife and pastor and found you not what I want in a President of the United States.

Not a Presidential Candidate who easily uses a racial slur against me. Especially in your famous book: Dreams from My Father where you wrote:

Whether because of New York's density or because of its scale, it was only [there] that I began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America's race and class problems joined; the bile that flowed freely not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia's bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes.

You want to use the 'N' word Senator, you can. But no Jew will ever use that word. The one I highlighted myself. I find that word offensive and personally insulting. There was no reason for it and apologizing will not help in this matter.

It is you Senator that is playing the Race Card. I've been expecting this for months now. And it is you who has shown himself to be the racist. A vote against you is a vote against racism, not for it.
