The Obama Files: Post-Racial Candidate Plays the Race Card

Millions of Americans oppose Senator Obamas candidacy for many different reasons. For a small number of bigots, one of them is almost certainly race. That being said, Obamas surrogates and media supporters have shown very little reluctance to ascribe racism to virtually anyone who supports another candidate. This is shameful. Worse still, Obama has personally played the race card several times, accusing Republicans in general, and the McCain campaign specifically, of whipping up race-based ugliness. When McCains objects, Obama has disingenuously denied (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/08/02/obama_denies_trying_to_pl­ay_race_card/) he was referring to race in his initial comments. Really? On one occasion, Obama accused Republicans of trying to scare voters by mentioning that he doesnt look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills. At another rally he made a similar claim, adding did we mention hes black? to his interpretation of the GOPs supposed scare tactics. As someone who presents himself as a unifying figure, what does it say that he shamelessly injects racial politics into the campaign, casting aspersions on his opponents motives? Watch and listen for yourself:

From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

Haha, so all of a sudden capitalism is evil and supporting it means you're in favor of the 3rd world?

Okay, then.

And let me guess, you're going to vote for Obama because you like socialism and stealing money from your fellow Americans?
