Sebelius: Say, did you know Republicans are racists?

Hmmm. Didn’t Barack Obama just get done scolding John McCain over “dishonorable” attacks? Maybe he should save his criticisms for his surrogates, except that they’re parroting The One in his own baseless smears. In Iowa today, Kathleen Sebelius continued the Obama tradition of calling Republicans racists, and the other Obama tradition of producing absolutely no evidence for the allegation:

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.”

Sebelius was responding to a question from the audience at the Iowa City Public Library about the tenacity of Democrats and whether they would fight for victory as hard as Republicans in the closing weeks of the election.

She did not elaborate on her comment.

Actually he's not African-American at all. He's Arab-American!

What an idiotic, bigoted comment. What's the matter with Kansas? It seems like a common theme with these low-lifes is race. Others of her kind point out that Secretary Rice is “black”, but they use a different term. The continued emphasis by the Democrats on race will backfire. Its a shame they can't find anything more to say about Obama than his racial makeup.

Pay no attention to the woman behind the blood.

Sebelius was elected by Missouri residents crossing into Kansas to vote.

The Democrats get too much of a pass. Ask Sebelius which party supported slavery, secession, and segregation.

Oh! Oh! She's onto the Republicans & somehow found out that they pass out code rings so their constituents can understand what the rally is all about!

What an A$$ she is!! Sounds like grade school mentality. Hard to believe they raise them so stupid in Kansas.

My best friend, a 45 year acquaintance, lives in Wichita. I sent him an e-mail stating that his Gov needs to be beaten with a rubber hose for her lack of executive presence. But then again, executive presence has never been a Democratic skill, now has it?
Republicans = Players
Democrats = Scorekeepers

She's not a real Kansan. She's a carpetbagger from Ohio.

AP has sanatized their initial article, removing the portion in bold. “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.” That smear would be everywhere now if uttered by a Republican about a Democrat.

Race should not be an issue but makes for good excuse. Folks like Sebelius are deceived. What will bite us worse when it is too late will be the revelation that the subject of this leftist campaign is encircled with friends, mentors and spiritual leaders who are not fond of this great land. It is in the DNA. Democrats for McCain, are not afraid to fight and stand for real freedom. Get the word out:
