THE RACE CARD – WHO’S ZOOMING WHO?

Obama fans like to claim that Hillary used the race card during her historical campaign against him. But let’s look at the record and see who’s zooming who.
When Hillary said that without President Lyndon Johnson signing the civil rights bill blacks would’ve never had legal protection against flagrant racism, well, that was racist.
When Bill Clinton duly noted that Obama claims that he vehemently opposed the Iraq war with a simple speech as a state legislator was bullshit, er, a fairy tale, that was racist too.
And when Bill Clinton noted that Jesse Jackson ran a great campaign in South Carolina, won and then went on to lose the nomination, that was especially racist.
Of course Hillary supporters were a bunch of racists, too.
When pollsters got it wrong in New Hampshire and voters gave Hillary the nod, the Bradley effect was clearly visible and Hillary supporters were closet racists.
And when Obama spoke to a crowd of supporters in California and characterized Hillary fans as people who cling to their religion and guns, this absolutely proved Hillary supporters were racists, of course.
Well, the latest version is Obama explaining to people in Florida why he’s having problems with McSame in spite of the best political landscape for Democrats since 1974 — right after Nixon was impeached — courtesy of a transcript by Time. It shows the real master race baiter at work.
“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. 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?
He’s got a feisty wife.”
(big cheer).
“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us.”
Yes, we know all about the strategy, don’t we, Barky…? Truthteller of No Quarter helps explain it for Obamazoids with their ostrich necks blocked by all that unity sand.
Let us summarize the Obama campaign strategy: when one is poised to lose, drop the race card, but be sure to claim your opponents are the ones who are divisive, even if you are the one who disenfranchised the voters to whom you are appealing for funds. Always eschew any and all discussions on policy, and always refer to your opponents as racist and xenophobic. This is Obama’s version of unity, and this is Obama’s notion of waging a different type of political campaign. Welcome to Obamatopia, where the deck is always stacked with strategically placed race cards to be played with impunity.
When the presidential race is over and Obama finds himself on the outside looking in, he’ll blame it on racism and the bitches who refused to support him.
