Obama’s Race Card Subterfuge

(Race Card “borrowed” from Cassandra at Villainous Company)

The “post racial” Obama is now telling his supporters to look for Republicans to use his race against him:

“It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,” Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid.

“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

Yeah, Republicans–are–so–well–known–for–their–fear–of–blacks. That’s why the Republicans keep appointing them to ground breaking positions….to keep them “placated”.

Never-mind that McCain has made clear that he is not interested in doing any negative campaigning at all, not even when warranted.

Never-mind that the only real race-baiting took place on the Democrat side during the Democrat primaries.

This is merely Obama’s way of tainting any attempts on the Republican side to bring up Obama’s genuinely scary radical and Commie associations as “racist” allegations. But a clear eyed look at the man’s biography is enough to send shivers down even a few “progressive’s” spines.

It’s also his way of preparing his followers for what lies ahead. (There will be scurrilous, ‘untrue’, nasty things said about him, and it will all be because he’s black).

I hope Republicans aren’t cowed by these rather heavy handed attempts of Obama’s to keep the spotlight off of his history as a man of the uber-left. Negative campaigning is about all we’ve got this election cycle.

The bottom line is, I don’t fear Obama because he’s black. I fear him because I think he’s a C-o-m-m-u-n-i-s-t.

‘Nuff said.

UPDATE I:

Baldilocks is on the same wavelength as me here, saying:

Most people couldn’t care less about your name and your color, Senator Obama. They fear being lead by you because you have no substantive legislative record, you’re a chronic liar and, after explicitly stating that you choose your friends carefully, you have repeatedly and systematically made friends with people who hate this country.

You would “bridge the divide,” Senator, by burning that bridge.

Folks, don’t let this Sower of Discord shut you up.

UPDATE II:

Audio here. Yup, he said it, to great applause, too.

Like the true disciple that he is, Obama was using Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals:

Alinsky laid out a set of basic principles to guide the actions and decisions of radical organizers and the People’s Organizations they established. The organizer, he said, “must first rub raw the resentments of the people; fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act.

The man is anything but a “uniter”.

UPDATE III:

It looks like a great many of the Cotillion gals have weighed in on “Obama’s Race Card”:

Fausta has a good round-up at her blog, as does Little Miss Attila, who  is now calling it Melanin -Gate.
