Those that criticize her husband, or are concerned about his background are all "racists"? And it gets worse. Michelle Obama's caricature in the New Yorker as a black nationalist suddenly isn't so funny. The Obam Camp is pushing back hard .

No matter. Even with the denial, it’ll become a raging subect on some Web sites that will dismiss the denial, and on talk radio which will present it as fact. Which would be exactly the intent. Then there’s common sense: Why would the Democrats give the GOP such a gift?
