Sebelius says GOP using racial 'code language'

By NIGEL DUARA – 23 minutes ago

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using "code language" to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.

"Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?" Sebelius asked with sarcasm. "(Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness."

Well, I guess this means that Obama will sew up about 90% of the black vote. Criminy, I hope I’m not inadvertently using code language.

Listen there will be plenty of time for this racist nonsense when Obama loses in November. The first cry from the left is going to be Obama lost the presidency because America does not want a black president. Wait and see, despicable humans!

She did not elaborate on her comment.

In other words, she can't provide any examples. But, the AP parroted her accusation verbatim without even a hint of skepticism.

The AP is just issuing press releases for the Democrats.

Playing the Race Card. TM Kathleen Sibelius doesn't seem to notice NOT one Republican mentioned Obama's skin color! The only people obsessed with it are the Democrats!

Really? I’m just totally shocked they’d make this sort of allegation while watching their candidate crash and burn.

Notice the rash of RACE CARDS being played by Team Empty Suit and their surrogates. When behind or in trouble, shout “RACISTS”.

“She did not elaborate on her comment.”

Good thing you wrote a whole story about it, then. How is it good journalism to tout “code language” in the headline tand fail to provide any examples in the body of the story?

"...Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?..."

He's not. He's an Arab-American.
