Serious question: can David Shuster possibly be this clueless? Wherever you come down on the issue of who's playing the race card, one thing is glaringly, blindingly, incandescently obvious: when Barack Obama says McCain will point out Obama doesn't look like the other guys on the currency, the Dem candidate is doing much more than making the innocuous point that he is the first black major-party presidential nominee. Yet that is precisely how David Shuster chose to misinterpret Obama's remark on today's Morning Joe. Fortunately, Tiki Barber was there to run to daylight through the gaping hole in logic Shuster had opened up.

Willful ignorance ping to Today show list.
Obama plays the race card:Who had July 31th in the pool?
He’s not playing!
Mark, why are you so sure he is “playing” dumb?
Pretty much represents all lib’s ability to process information and apply logic.
Shuster, the same dipsh*t that said America doesn’t give a heck about the surge’s success.
July 31??
The presumptuous one, Hussein has been playing the race card for some time now. This is nothing new.
I kind of figured some folks would jump on that ;-)
Let’s say I was giving Shuster the benefit of the doubt.
LOL. Fabulous, Mark. I hope that gets picked up and repeated many times over the next few months. Well done.
Give Tikki Barber credit for stating the obvious. He tried to be nice by saying “they (meaning the McCain campaign) have not done that YET.”
That’s the best we can hope for I guess.
And this is the second time I’ve heard Obama play the race card against McCain. Last time he called said “They” as well.
That ranks right up there with “you people.”
Thanks, sbg. Here’s one of my favorites by Gibbs: his denying that when the Obama campaign hoodwinked reporters onto the press plane to Chicago so Obama could meet in private with Hillary, there was no intent to deceive:

Your “benefit of the doubt” must be like democrat unemployment benefits - endless! ;-P
LOL... DAYLIGHT?! All the ex-football player said was McCain's campaign hasn't used race as an issue... YET. Usually... there's always a Dem flak there ready to say that Republicans ALWAYS are racist in their campaigns and McCain will sooner or later revert to form.
Shuster is without a doubt the dumbest male on the show followed by Mika.
Gibbs has earned the Baghdad Bob moniker. That’s why it’s so funny.
Like John Edwards, Obama is merely channeling McCain and knows what he will say even before McCain does.
Obama and his myrmidons like Shuster believe that Americans are dumber than he is. Facts notwithstanding, he will get a pass for his future-tense claim.
As for playing the race card, Obama has been playing it all along - this is just the first time he is doing it openly.
There are at least 3 ways to take your remark, and they’re all pretty funny! ;-P
Not clueless, Shuster is just another typical lying liberal.
well:
“when Barack Obama says McCain will point out Obama doesn’t look like the other guys on the currency”
Of course you don’t osamaobama-you look like an f’in marxist-they don’t.
Don’t forget that shuster is a FOX NEWS reject who also came out with the devastarting (to him) line about Chelsea Clinton being “pimped out” by her mother’s campaign.
Schuster is the most smug and arrogant POS in television today.
Shuster has been a lying punk for as long as I can remember. You could not pay me enough to listen to that scumbag.
