There is such a thing of overplaying the race card. I hope these race hustlers keep it up.

John McCain would be used to being called a racist by now if he had been on the right side of the border issue with us.

Bob Parks ripped Lewis a new one on his post at BlackandRight.com.

...Now that Obama's dubious associations are getting some traction in the Dinosaur Media, his handlers are getting nervous and panicky, so they have to send out the surrogates to sling some mud.

Exactly. Cries of racism these days are dismissed by many these days. Lewis knows one tune and he's done well performing it over his career, long after it ceased to attract a new audience.

The last thing Obama should want is to have his campaign seen as nothing more than a black grievance effort. Especially when you are having trouble winning over rural and suburban whites in some key states, including one you must absolutely defend (Pennsylvania).

The problem he will have is that the first instinct among his leftist supporters is that calling his opponents "racists" is a winning tactic. Keeping that genie in a bottle will be somewhat difficult for a campaign built for the Dem primary. The assumption is that in uncertain economic times, many of those he is having difficulty reaching will default to the Democrat candidate. I'm not so sure, especially with McCain essentially embracing some version of warmed over socialism in this campaign. Having the 'popular white politicians (Bill & Hill)' speak to the 'typical white persons' won't be enough.

And, yes, some will probably vote for McCain simply because of their disgust with Lewis and his ilk.
