Mike Barnicle has some campaign advice for John McCain: don't say anything bad about Barack. The former Boston Globe columnist, with a heartfelt second from Mika Brzezinski, wants the world to know that he's heard enough about Reverends Wright and Pfleger, not to mention Bill Ayers, and thinks McCain would "win a few points" for staying away from all that stuff and concentrating on the important issues facing Americans—like better batteries.
Barnicle made his suggestion on today's Morning Joe in commenting on an audio clip of Obama warning a crowd this past Friday that the Republicans will, among other misdemeanors, play the race card against him and accuse him of having a "feisty wife."

Every network... even FOX... is covering for the black-liberation communist. I'm ashamed that the American public will accept this indoctrination as news.
I think you hit the nail here. I would only add, "too nice to his political enemies." During the Florida 2000 fight, I thought Bush was too nice, and that we needed a nastier sort of gutter fighter as President. I like Bush on a lot of things but I don't believe I was wrong about that.
Your conclusion about Obama is dead right too. I am increasingly concerned that he would be a disaster as President. Here's hoping we don't have to find out.
and we’re all sure that if McCain doesn’t go negative against Obama, Mike and Mik will be voting for him. Right.
Barnical is, IMO, the stupidest man in all of journalism. And yes--of course--Republicans should ALWAYS listen to Democrat advice on how to run their campaigns.
What the Big Media is really saying is that they know there are still millions of Americans who don’t start paying attention to candidates records until a few weeks or a month before the election. In short they know that there are millions of potential voters who wouldn’t react favorably to Obama’s past associations. They’re hoping to nip it in the bud before the rest of America finds out that Obama is not the messiah but just another cheap political hustler.
I'm really worried that Obama might win.
We need someone really tough and unafraid to speak the truth about what America and Western civilization are facing with the Islamofascists.
I don't know who's more dangerous now, the Islamofascists or the leftists in our midst.
Ah, yes—the “coded message” strategy. Not that long ago, you had to actually make a racist comment to be labeled a racist. But, when everybody except Robert Byrd and a few of his leftover Klan buddies stopped using the dreaded “N-Word,” the race-baiting poverty pimps decided that they would be the arbiters of what was racist.
This is a similar strategy to the one that the Jackson/Sharpton clique and their ilk had used to define “discrimination in the workplace.” In the past, when a more-qualified minority person was passed by in favor of a less-qualified white person, he or she would have a legitimate gripe, and could take legal action. But, after many years, such cases became rare.
Entrepreneurs and hiring managers operate out of enlightened self-interest—they want the most qualified person, black, white, male, or female, in order to maximize the probability that their business will succeed. In areas that get a lot of media coverage, such as sports, it is apparent that those who do the hiring are acting rationally, rather than by employing some long-harbored racial motivation.
The NBA is populated almost exclusively by blacks, despite the fact that they make up only 1/8 of the general population. And how many white corner backs are there in the NFL? (Hint—zero.) No rational football general manager is going to hire a white kid who runs a 4.7 second 40 yard dash to cover a black kid who can burn a 4.3.
So, with the world acting rationally instead of racially, the race-baiters needed a new plan. They dreamed up the “quota criterion,” which oddly, only works when the percentage of minorities in a particular company or field of endeavor is lower than the overall national percentage minority population. So, if the Boston Celtics or Green Bay Packers hire blacks at a rate that is six or seven times higher than their presence in the national population—no problem! But, if IBM or Dell has a black percentage of their work force of 10%, instead of the 12% the national breakdown shows, it’s time for a federal investigation.
So, in summary:
Discrimination in the workplace—bad.
Discrimination in the workplace—ends
So, discrimination in the workplace—redefined.
Voila—discrimination in the workplace exists again, and the “victims” must be taken care of!
Similarly:
Racism—bad.
Racism (except in a few small, backward pockets) ends.
So, racism is redefined (code words.)
Voila—racism exists again and the victim (this time it’s Obama) must be taken care of!
...and another media idiot opens his mouth and removes all doubt. What’s hilarious is these guys think they’re being “subtle” in their bias. Frigging hysterical. Now go shine Joseph Goebells’ boots, bootlicker.
Thought so.
Perfect description of how it all works.
LOL, McGruff.
It is simply awful when they put Mika in charge. It’s just kinda awful the rest of the time.
What else would one expect from this lefist plagarizing
blowhard!! He’s in bed with Obama. The more I see of the creeps supporting Obama, the more I think I might vote McC!!
“Please, Brer McCain, please don’t jump into the briar patch.”
Feisty is wonderful.
OTOH, a snarling nasty hateful racist b*tch is not.
Obama and his apologists try to ignore all the substance of issues, as usual, to focus on atmospherics.
There is a difference. Although admittedly much is in the eye of the beholder, I seriously doubt that any more than a small leftard minority of the electorate wants the “real” Michelle Obama anywhere near the Presidency.
Surely we do not need another co-Presidency with such a pompous self-important overbearing leftist tool.
