Obama Plays the Race Card!

Completely uncalled for B.S.

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.

“It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,” Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. 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?”

Dude! Get a clue! No one cares what color your skin is, and if anyone were to campaign on that they’d be committing political suicide. You have plenty of stupid positions, anti-American assoiciations, and socialist policies we can attack all day long. I hope you aren’t counting on an attack of your race to help you win, cuz I guarantee the GOP are not that stupid. John McCain distanced himself from these kinds of attacks…it was the Clinton campaign that resorted to these kinds of tactics.

Baldilocks breaks it down. So does Karl.

    “No one cares what color your skin is, and if anyone were to campaign on that they’d be committing political suicide.”

    Well, no one campaigning cares. The Southern VOTE cares. Ask my uncle. I love him dearly but he’s representative of what a great many in our party are thinking.

    “You have plenty of stupid positions,”

    You ought to hear about the guy running against him… John McCain!

    “cuz I guarantee the GOP are not that stupid.”

    Our party seems to have proven you wrong here in a number of departments, you’ve gotta admit.

    A massive defection and return to TRUE Republican values are what we need. It starts when we talk about it seriously rather than backing the current two parties that seem to want to repeal our Bill of Rights, whether it’s the 2nd Amendment (Dems) or the 4th (RINOs).

    Talk about working the race card — I’m walking along Eighth Ave. this past Saturday and I see this guy with a clipboard
    talking to a young Hispanic man. “We are all
    good liberal Democrats” he said to the Lman. “Come join us for change”.
    To make a long story short this Obama volunteer did not approach not one white person or Asian. Only blacks and Spanish.
    Who is playing the race card now?

    If everyone that claims to love our constitution, like me, would take the time
    to research the changes in the constitution
    since 1960, they probably wouldnt love it
    any more, like me.
    The constitution that we learned about in
    school is not the same constitution that is
    being used today to deprive us of our rights
    and liberties.
    I am not an expert on law, but I can see
    clearly that the ACLU and the liberals have
    managed to change the most important aspects
    of our constitution.
    I would like to see a list of the laws,
    civil and criminal, that have been changed
    since 1960. I think that everyone would be
    very surprised when they realise that even
    our right to free speech has been taken away.

    If you didn’t care about Obama’s race. Why do you care that he mentioned his race. He didn’t being Black is the reason why he was running, he said Republicans will try to exploit this to those who are racist. The Clintons did this in the primary unless you were living on a rock and did not notice this. The Republicans are bound to do this.

    It totally shows how manipulative & cunning O Blah Ma is.
    He obviously thinks his supporters are stupid to fall for this reverse physcology.

    Totally playing the victim . You can’t hide forever. The public is watching , you can’t hide big words and teleprompter enhanced speeches about nothing forever.
