Bradley Effect: Barack Obama Just Can't Get Past the Fact that the Democratic Candidate is Black
Ace of Spades HQ — Bradley Effect: Barack Obama Just Can't Get Past the Fact that the Democratic Candidate is Black This cocksucker is the only one mentioning it. Why does John McCain have to answer for this cocksucker racist's hatred ? Seriously, this low-watt parvenu has been running on the color of his skin for two years. The only one playing the race card here is Barack Obama. Oh, and Mike Barnicle, spotting some ...

Obama: I Have a Dream
Slublog — Well, it's really more of a fantasy. Or rather, a smear. “They know that you’re not real happy with them and so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,” Obama continued, repeating an attack from earlier in the day. “What they’re saying is ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”Of course, the fact that John McCain's campaign has actually gone out of their way ...

Oh Dear, There He Goes Again…
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler — ... that he’s been predicting for a while now (remember: “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name.

Until he turns BLUE in the face if he has to! And stomp his feet too, you better believe it! “What they’re saying is ‘Well, we know we’re not ...

CNN: Racism is the *only* reason you could possibly have to *not* vote for Obama
RedState: Conservative News and Community — ... more prevalent and more shrill, notwithstanding Cafferty's laughable claim that race is the one issue "that nobody is talking about." As Allahpundit wrote at Hot Air: Obama may have run as a post-racial candidate in the Democratic primaries, but he has shown a completely different side in the general election.  Ever since winning the nomination, Obama and his campaign surrogates (and the media) have accused Republicans of racism for their opposition to The One.  ...

About that “honest” discussion on race …
Sister Toldjah — ... Obama himself did everything he could to avoid race during the campaign — aside from the occasional insinuation that target=”_blank”McCain’s a bigot — until the Wright uproar forced his hand. He could have used his platform to push the issue front and center but he decided he’d rather get elected. Holder owes his job to that, ahem, cowardice. ...
