New York Governor David Paterson says Sarah Palin's criticism of Barack Obama's time as a community organizer is racially charged. Paterson said Tuesday, "There are overtones of potential racial coding in this campaign. I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama 'black'... but you can take something about his life... a community organizer. They kept saying it, they kept laughing."
He said such language is "designed to inhibit other people's progress with a subtle reference to their race."
The McCain camp says Palin's criticism of Obama's community organizer days was not racist but was in response to Obama's belittling of her executive experience.

Every time they come up with something like this McCain's lead stretches out by 1 or 2 percent. Americans are rightly sick and tired of this $#!+.
Perzactly. You broke the code. So to speak.
Yes, and I have known and dealt with them. The one common characteristic I have seen among every "community organizer" is that they are Marxists or flat out communists. The organizers I knew had poster sized pictures of Marx and Lenin on the walls of their homes, and one had a full size Soviet hammer and sickle flag pinned to the wall. Their idea of "progress" was getting a bunch of unemployed people to sit around and have discussions about what to protest next.
The other characteristic they had was limited success in normal economic life. In fact I wondered where the money came from that some of them used to pay their rent and buy the cardboard for the signs.
Calling him black? Why not he is. Call him a marxist POS, sure, he is. Stating the obvious is not racist, trying to attach that label to those you hate is. Party of slavery, the KKK etc; what else would you expect?
I just hope he’s the DemonRat nominee the next time around, we’ll have this state back in the hands of the Republicans before you know it!
Then I guess democrats like Steve Cohen are racists, too.

No, Governor, you and your Dem cronies, from community organizers to your Presidents, have been the very conduit of failed policies that guarantee that the underclass will never achieve the ultimate goals - independence, self-worth, reduced crime, stronger families.
WHO YOU GONNA CALL? 1-800 RACE CARD!
“Dumbo ears” is extremely racist.
