Default Here Comes The Race Card

I was wondering how long it would take this guy to start the "Racist *****"

The "blubbering bull*****" begins, Barack Hussein Obama will now start a "Race War Election" he was doing pretty good until he started this tired old worn out game, now he is turning into another "Jessie Jackoff" doesn't the paddle eared bastard have any Pride?

News today:
JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.
"boo hoo, waahhh, sob sob"
http://www.reuters.com/article/polit...rpc=22&sp=true

He said "he expects them to highlight the fact he is black" THEY HAVEN'T DONE IT YET, he's the one thats starting it, Racist Son Of A B!tch.

Whether or not, he feels it's true or not, it's not too smart to allow the soundbite to even get out. It plays right into the spin machine and could hurt him in many areas of the country. So far McCain is not really rolling in the dirt too much yet, but he will (they all do).

Obama, has really made some curious (and IMO not so smart) moves lately, the biggest being the retraction on promises and written agreements to the public campaign funds issue. He seems to jump on, and jump off positions so fast, it's hard to keep track. In fairness, he's has too, because he had to come off some of his far left positions in order to attract the centrist crowd which he know he needs.

Obama needs the race Card because he can't compete on the issues.

Is Breaking Promises And Straddling Positions On Key Issues Change We Can Believe In?



NAFTA
Fortune Magazine Reported Obama No Longer Planned To Reopen NAFTA Unilaterally And Admitted His Rhetoric Had Been "Overheated And Amplified":
"In An Interview With Fortune To Be Featured In The Magazine's Upcoming Issue, The Presumptive Democratic Nominee Backed Off His Harshest Attacks On The Free Trade Agreement And Indicated He Didn't Want To Unilaterally Reopen Negotiations On NAFTA." (Nina Easton, "Obama: NAFTA Not So Bad After All," Fortune, 6/18/08)


"Now, However, Obama Says He Doesn't Believe In Unilaterally Reopening NAFTA. On The Afternoon That I Sat Down With Him To Discuss The Economy, Obama Said He Had Just Spoken With Harper, Who Had Called To Congratulate Him On Winning The Nomination." (Nina Easton, "Obama: NAFTA Not So Bad After All," Fortune, 6/18/08)
  • Obama: "I'm not a big believer in doing things unilaterally. ... I'm a big believer in opening up a dialogue and figuring out how we can make this work for all people." (Nina Easton, "Obama: NAFTA Not So Bad After All," Fortune, 6/18/08)
Obama Admitted His Primary Rhetoric Was "Overheated And Amplified." "'Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,' he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA 'devastating' and 'a big mistake,' despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy." (Nina Easton, "Obama: NAFTA Not So Bad After All," Fortune, 6/18/08)
But Campaigning In Ohio During The Primary, Obama Attacked NAFTA Repeatedly As Bad For America And Threatened To Withdraw Unilaterally From The Free Trade Agreement:
In February, Obama Pledged To Renegotiate NAFTA With The Threat Of Withdrawing Unless It Was Renegotiated. "In their final head-to-head meeting before Tuesday's Ohio and Texas primaries, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) declared that they would opt out of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico unless those two countries renegotiated the pact's labor and environmental provisions to the United States' liking." (Editorial, "At Best, A Pander," The Washington Post, 3/1/08)
Obama: "I Don't Think NAFTA Has Been Good For America - And I Never Have." Obama: "Ten years after NAFTA passed, Senator Clinton said it was good for America. ... Well, I don't think NAFTA has been good for America - and I never have." (David Espo, "Obama Hits Clinton On NAFTA Support," The Associated Press, 2/24/08)
CORPORATE TAXES
Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal Reported Obama Favors Reducing Corporate Taxes:
The Wall Street Journal Reported That Obama Would Consider Lowering Corporate Taxes. "Sen. Obama's nod to lowering corporate taxes comes as Republicans have been attacking him for proposals that would raise the cost of doing business, such as his pledge to raise the tax rate on capital gains, and his vow to increase the top income-tax rates, which are often used by small, unincorporated enterprises. He didn't say how deeply he would cut the rate, but said it could be trimmed in return for reducing corporate tax breaks, simplifying the tax system." (Bob Davis and Amy Chozick, "Obama Plans Spending Boost, Possible Cut In Business Tax," The Wall Street Journal, 6/17/08)
Just Last Month, Obama Called Corporate Tax Cuts "The Exact Wrong Prescription For America":
Obama On Sen. McCain's Economic Proposals: "And his proposals, which are essentially $300 billion worth of corporate tax cuts ... I think is the exact wrong prescription for America." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 5/4/08)
IRAQ WITHDRAWAL
In His Discussion With Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama Claimed That He Would Consult With Iraqi Leaders And U.S. Military Commanders On His Plans For Withdrawal:
Obama Told Zebari That He Would Not Make Any "Irresponsible" Decisions That Would Endanger Gains In Iraq And Would Consult With The Iraqi Government And U.S. Military Commanders On His Plans. "Mr. Zebari said that in addition to promising a visit, Mr. Obama said that 'if there would be a Democratic administration, it will not take any irresponsible, reckless, sudden decisions or action to endanger your gains, your achievements, your stability or security. Whatever decision he will reach will be made through close consultation with the Iraqi government and U.S. military commanders in the field.'" (Editorial, "Mr. Zebari's Message," The Washington Post, 6/18/08)
Previously, Obama Committed To Removing Troops From Iraq Regardless Of What Military Commanders Advised:
Obama Committed To Withdrawing Troops From Iraq Regardless Of The Advice He Received From Commanders On The Ground. ABC's Charles Gibson:"And, Senator Obama, your campaign manager, David Plouffe, said, 'When he is' -- this is talking about you - 'When he is elected president, we will be out of Iraq in 16 months at the most. There should be no confusion about that.' So you'd give the same rock-hard pledge, that no matter what the military commanders said, you would give the order to bring them home?" Obama: "Because the commander-in-chief sets the mission, Charlie. That's not the role of the generals. And one of the things that's been interes ting about the president's approach lately has been to say, 'Well, I'm just taking cues from General Petraeus.' Well, the president sets the mission. The general and our troops carry out that mission." (Sen. Barack Obama, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Philadelphia, PA, 4/16/08)
DEATH PENALTY FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN?
On Wednesday, Obama Said That If Bin Laden Were Captured, He Would Not Make Him A "Martyr":
Obama: "I think what would be important would be for us to deal with him in a way that allows the entire world to understand the murderous acts that he's engaged in and not to make him into a martyr." (Caren Bohan, "Obama: U.S. Should Avoid Making Bin Laden A Martyr," Reuters, 6/18/08)
But In The Illinois State Senate, Obama Supported Legislation Making Terrorists Eligible For The Death Penalty:
Obama Voted In Favor Of Legislation That "Provides For The Imposition Of The Death Penalty If The Murder Was Committed As A Result Of Or In Connection With The Offense Of Terrorism." (H.B. 2299: Senate Floor Third Reading, Passed, 55-0-1, 11/28/01, Obama Voted Yea)
"An Anti-Terrorism Plan That Passed The Illinois Senate ... Makes Terrorists Eligible For The Death Penalty, Expands The State's Wire-Tapping Authority And Could Send Someone To Prison For Getting On A Plane With A Gun." (John Patterson, "Anti-Terrorism Bill Clears One Hurdle In Legislature," Chicago Daily Herald, 11/29/01)

Honestly, at least you're honest about using party talking points. Most people would cut and paste them from the Party website without referencing them. I'll give you that.

Well, the GOP will use the race card. It's pretty obvious that GOP supportesr are the one's behind trying to use the Muslim card against Obama and the whole Wright matter was obviously a use of the race card. When's the last time you saw the GOP attack a white Christian minister?

As far as PFIEL's post, posting something from the RNC would be like posting something from Ford to prove Ford makes better trucks. Doesn't it seem a little naive to base one's info on sources like that? It would be as if I countered that info by directing people to Obama's fact check website: http://factcheck.barackobama.com/

If anyone thinks the race card will not be used by both sides then they're crazy.

Given that he posted quotes from "independent" (not gop.com) sources, the fact that they are from gop.com isn't overly relevant.

I think he's practicing to be the next GJAJ...it doesn't matter where the information comes from originally, or whether it's true--if it appears anywhere remotely "right" it's wrong, period. Meanwhile, bring on thinkprogress and huffpo, they're the websites of record.

It's funny...someone on the 'other' side complained about Drudge the other day. But then PC defended thinkprogress as just an information clearing house.

You mean like how Drudge just posts headlines? DEE DEEE DEE

How is it "pretty obvious", Patters? Please--considering that some Hillary staffers got fired for sending out the emails talking about it, how is it obvious the GOP was behind it?

And how was the "Wright matter" an obvious use of the race card? In case you hadn't noticed, that WHITE CATHOLIC nut job who went to the church and made a borderline obscene sermon was roundly criticized by all and sundry as well, even to the extent that his own bishop put him in time out.

So why don't you just stop with the race card? Obama is half white. His father was black. If he were smart, he'd have done the Tiger Woods thing long ago--"I'm not anything, I'm an American. That's enough".

No one that matters cares whether he's black--and why is that when someone is half black and half white they never seem to be called "white"? That's always puzzled me, and that actually seems slightly racist somehow.

But anyway--no one cares. The man is the nominee of the dominant political party in the most powerful nation on earth. Think about that...race card? It's old and tired Patters. Yes, I'm sure there are people who don't like his name or skin color. But holding those ignorant people out as representative of the country is as stupid as anything I can think of.
