Obama Relentlessly Plays Race Card

Barack Obama and his "spiritual" adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church. Wright taught his bizarre brand of "Christianity" to Obama, his wife, and their children.

The one thing good about being "not young" anymore is that one has the complete right to tell the truth. Every member of the Clinton family, right down to Chelsea has been a champion of racial justice in America. GWB said as much when the Clinton pictures were unveiled at the White House.Like me, Bill has reached the age where he can utter inconvenient truths. If Bill is ever forced to hug Obama, I hope he pulls a Hannibal Lector and bites off his nose.

In the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton used the phrase “white people” ONCE to describe those who were voting for her in Pennsylvania and other late primaries. She was wildly castigated for it, even though: (1) it was true; and (2) Barack Obama was getting 90% of the African-American vote.

However, the standards for Obama in terms of his constant “racial politics” appear to be much lower.

Obama and his surrogates, such as Rev. Wright, constantly accused Sen. Clinton of racism. That occurred, even though Sen. Clinton has a history of practicing racial tolerance and encouraging legislation beneficial to Black people. Obama, by the way, has no such record.

Let’s consider the e-mails, article, and comments accusing the 70 million people who will vote for John McCain of racism. There has been no candidate since the days of George Wallace in 1968 who manipulates race for political gain with the intensity of Barack H. Obama.

One key manifestation of racism is the use of generalizations/stereotypes designed to diminish/denigrate racial (or sometimes ethnic) groups. Obama does this repeatedly in his book Dreams from My Father.

The most famous example is his grandmother (currently used in commercials to display Obama's "white side") as "a typical white person." As you'll recall, in his "Philadelphia" speech on race, which contained not one memorable or honest line, he compared his grandmother (a saint by most accounts) to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a race-baiting, America-hating "preacher."

Barack Obama sat in Wright's church listening to such nonsense for 20 years -- without raising a peep. He exposed his wife and children to Wright's vile message.

Obama's racism also extends to his recent statements on "responsibility." As Rev. Manning pointed out, Obama -- a child of privilege -- has no real understanding of Black life in America. At the NAACP speech, Obama accused Blacks (many? most?) of being irresponsible and lacking good parenting skills.

Can anyone imagine Obama would ever make a similar speech to groups consisting mainly of Whites? In fact, white people are also known to be irresponsible and practice bad parenting. Most disturbingly, Obama’s criticisms of Blacks appear to be aimed at impressing some whites, particularly those who hold what are supposedly "enlightened" views of Black people.

In Obama's commercials in PA and elsewhere, several white people appear (his grandparents and mother). The only Black (actually, multi-racial) shown is Barack Obama himself. The commercials establish no connections whatsoever to the Black community. The positive statements he makes about his family are at variance with what he says in Dreams.

For the Obama campaign and its surrogates to accuse others of racism is laughable -- and par for the course for the Senator from Illinois -- never to be confused with another Illinois Senator, Abraham Lincoln.

Obama: Racist in Word/Deed

Anything people are looking for in terms of Hillary Supporters and John McCain, they can find here. My latest effort -- below -- is about Obama's blatant use of race -- his and others' -- in search of votes. Read on . . . and please tell your friends and family about this site, which was really the first one up and running on the subject of Hillary Supporters for John McCain. On my Pennsylvania blog (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday), I'll be writing about a woman -- Deborah Honeycutt -- who could be not only the nation's first female President but also the first Black President. Thanks for visiting.

"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." (Obama in Dreams From My Father) This is the same grandmother Obama is using in commercials to solicit white votes. This is not a good man. The father who abandoned him and his mother become more important than the grandmother who never did.

You bet your bippy he is. David Axelrod, Obama's campaign manager, has become legendary for using the race card whenever it will give him political advantage. Candidate Obama himself -- a man of mixed-parentage -- uses race regularly when it helps his cause.

In his current commercials -- directed toward white voters in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio -- Obama shows a picture of himself as a young man with his white grandparents. Those are the same grandparents he makes fun of his first autobiography (he has two), Dreams From My Father.

In commercials and campaign speeches, he salutes the grandfather as a man who "served in Patton's army." In Dreams, however, he dismisses grandpa as "someone who never saw combat." His grandmother -- now 85 and appearing in at least one commercial to help establish Obama's Caucasian roots -- he slurs in the book as "a typical white person."

When the grandmother was accosted by a large Black man demanding money, Obama acts as if it were her fault.

That's the same grandmother he referred to in his Philadelphia speech on "race," surely one of the emptiest political statements made in our lifetime. He implied at the time that his grandmother had been perhaps as racially insensitive as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He said he could no more "disown" the race-baiting, America-hating preacher than he could his "own grandmother."

Later, of course, he did disown Wright for "disrespecting" him -- Obama! The disrespect for the nation and for Senator Clinton apparently didn't matter.

In the current commercial -- the one aimed at white people who voted mainly for Hillary -- he talks about what a "loving" family his grandparents and (Caucasian) mother were. Apparently, he wants to have it both ways.

Obama won the Democratic primaries in states like South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana almost exclusively because he was Black. In those states, large proportions of the Democratic electorate, and Obama got roughly 90% of their votes. That happened even though Mrs. Clinton has a long record of championing Black causes.

When Geraldine Ferraro raised such facts, she was maligned by Obama's surrogates and his media sycophants as a racist. Her reputation as a civil-rights champion was ignored. Her reputation remains in tatters.

Now that Obama has the nation's Black vote in his pocket, he's becoming -- at least metaphorically -- a lot "whiter." The comic, supposedly insensitive grandparents re-emerge as symbols of his connections to the white world. His previously volatile wife, Michelle, who wasn't proud of her cuntry, has now re-surfaced as a Black version of Laura Bush. The next time we see her on TV this formerly militant Black woman probably will be baking cookies.

At the same time, Obama's online wrecking crew is going around calliing McCain supporters racist. After all, what reasons other than race could they (we) have for not supporting "St. Barack?"

On Clintons4McCain, an organization I've urged all McCain supporters to join, Cristi Adkins, one of the founders, talks today about the charges against her organization. Here's what Cristi, a true heroine of political decency, says:

"[At Clintons4McCain] we're . . . getting emails asserting that the only reason anyone WOULD vote for McCain is because they're racist. . . . [Such] questions/statements have the same source -- blind partisanship and built in excuse-making and blame-shifting. Both assume simple motives, and both assume everyone's a puppet, parrot-robot like the writers of these emails obviously are."

This is not going to be a "fun" campaign. Obama and his surrogates are going to do more than play the "race card." They're going to unleash every card in the deck. As they did with Hillary Clinton in the primary, they'll going to hurl great loads of mud at McCain and his supporters. Obama will continue to be either white -- or Black -- depending on his immediate political goals.

I'm ready, and I hope you are also. Obama and his racial game-playing must be defeated.
