Damn... And Keyes jumps out of the gate with the Race Card right off...

That's what Mary Mitchell (I think that is her name) said that the pubbies had played the race card with Keyes.

So he played it back at the demo rats.

Talk about calling a slave holder a slave holder.

Historically that has always been the way the demo rats have been.

A riot in the making...? Them is fightin' words.

Just to clarify, it was this remark I am referring to: "I would still be picking cotton if the country's moral principles had not been shaped by the Declaration of Independence," Keyes said. He said Obama "has broken and rejected those principles-- he has taken the slaveholder's position."

I'd like to know how he expects that to resonate with a lot of voters... Good? Bad?

By tomorrow morning, the leftists will be out in force saying that Keyes is a "house slave" like Condi Rice and Colin Powell.

Somebody will be right along to explain to you why that's not playing the race card.

"Damn... And Keyes jumps out of the gate with the Race Card right off..."

I think in this case it was a defensive move, use it first before the other guy... one less card in the deck once it's been played.
