Mitchell: 'The People Covering the Campaign' Don't Think Obama Played Race Card
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/01/2008 6:17:06 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Thank you, Andrea Mitchell. No, really, I mean it. Thank you for providing some of the clearest evidence yet of just how much the press corps following Barack Obama has blinders on for its man. Mitchell has let it be known that "the people covering the campaign" don't think Obama played the race card with his currency crack. Andrea appeared on Morning Joe just before 8 AM EDT.

Now, had she add the word “intelligent” in front of the “people” part, the list of choices would have narrowed considerably.

I listened to this entire interview with Andrea and had a strong desire to put my fist in her sanctimonious face.

Why does she look like the Joker? Maybe she was the Joker’s wife. That smile doesn’t look like it is natural..it was built with a knife.
I hope that no Freeper actually tune in to these people.

For the first few months of the campaign, the question about Obama was: Who is he? The question now is: Who does he think he is?”

Moses made the waters recede, but he had help.’
Obama apparently works alone.

The MSM see their job as spreading propaganda for Obama and covering up his past, his leftist views and his stupid statements. Of course they say that Obama using race to hide from the issues is good. No surprises here.

She also opined, I believe, that his audience didn’t take it that way either, proving herself to be quite the mind reader.

“Mitchell: ‘The People Covering the Campaign’ Don’t Think Obama Played Race Card”

The American people are not stupid. We watch as Senator Obama pull out this card again......and again. It’s TOTALLY obvious.

It’s simple:
If Obama played the race card: he’s a hypocrite, a liar, a carbon copy of Jesse Jackson..... and no longer the “messiah”.

So how can anyone expect his followers to admit that’s what he did?

It would be like a religious person admitting God isn’t real. Or like an evolutionist admitting God created the earth a few thousand years ago.

“I don’t know very many people who’ve watched that, and the people in the audience, the reporters, have never interpreted it, have never inferred from that, that he is making some kind of racial statement, but that’s the way the McCain camp... “

LOL. Pack it up Andrea.

A mccain spokesman put the smackdown on crissy cuomo this morning, when crissy played the race card for osamabama. mccain's man let it be known... in no uncertain terms... that barry is a racist and mccain will not allow osama's racism to stand unchallenged. I was chearing as loudly as I could!!! abc... ALL barack channel!

No. Only gun and Bible-clinging conservatives wear hoods.

Kinda sounded to me as if Andrea was alone amongst her colleagues on that show in making those assertions.

The only folks I know that are hung up on race are blacks and the dems and the press. It seems to me that everyone else has moved on. They’re just stuck on stupid
