Barack Obama told supporters in Jacksonville that Republicans would launch racist attacks against him in the upcoming election. Without noting a single supporting piece of evidence, Obama cast any opposition to him as bigotry, and

    "Just as with his untrue statements on Republican financing and 527s, Obama seems content to issue lies and smears in order to inflame the electorate. There is more than a little hint of McCarthyism in this tactic."

      Hilarious. Coming from Republicans like yourself, this has got to be one of the most ironic, hilarious, and ridiculous pieces of bull ever. Haha. Thanks for the laugh.

    So far the only people I have seen play the race card were black democrats in Atlanta. Although Senator Obama does seem to be getting ready to throw it down.

      I just saw some of his latest comments. I'd like to say that the race card has officially been played.

      Obama is unbeatable. IF you question him, all he has to say is one word... "racism", and, if you're white, you HAVE to shut up. Unlike those who defend Islam, Obama CAN say it's a racial issue NOT a religious one, and, it's end of story. YOU will be stamped with the scarlet word "racism", stopping all questions about his politics right in their tracks. Unbeatable, that's how I describe Obama. "Invictus", actually. HOW can anyone melanin challenged debeat such a hand being dealt from Obama? impossible.

        This is the law according to Obama but I don't think everyone will buy into this and who cares about the drive by media they're already in the tank for him. Even if he is the Messiah of all Politicos we still have free speech. He can't make everyone shut up, yet.

        I feel that this is one gambit by the OBama campaign that may cause more trouble about race in the long run than solve in the short term.

        Also this has a way of inhibiting open questioning by the press and anyone else because 'any question' about his past, present or future 'can be perceived or labelled by his camp' as racially motivated and therefore politically incorrect so therefore off limits.

        So much for transparency, freedom of speech and the idea of a 'free press'.

        What is next; Thought Crimes against Saint OBama.

        I find it interesting that he is 'gifted to the point' that he has to be protected from the real and imaginary boogiemen that he will have to face if he become POTUS.

        What is he, the 'Great Unifier of America' and 'Agent of change you can believe' in, afraid of?

        For a few vocal wing-nut racists should present no intellectual problem for an Ivy League graduate and his esteemed supporters.
