“the truth is this election is not about race”
I disagree with this statement on some level - When it is convenient to squash a legitimate argument or advantageous to providing cover for the truth of Obama and his cohorts it very quickly becomes ‘Racial’.

My professor of logic back in college would have had a field day with this syllogism. The author is saying:
Some socialists are black.
Therefore, calling someone a socialist is racist.
This is a fallacy in logic equivalent to:
Some fruits are apples.
This is a fruit.
Therefore, it is an apple.

The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.I've heard of 'stretching things out of proportion' but that statement is even a stretch for Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four.

Gee and all this time I thought socialist was a code word for socialist.
To: SirJohnBarleycorn
Oh, give me a break, Diuguid.
Everything is a code word for “black” to racists.

Lewis Diuguid needs to get his hands on a copy of this book, quick:

Is there any cricisim that is not some secret code for “black”.
Obama is a Racist and a Socialist. And as my grandmother used to say, the truth will stand when the world’s on fire.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black ["Socialist"] I actually looked at the link to see if this was satire from "The Onion".
I never knew until now that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was a black nation. I guess we now now that the Soviets were "Black Russians".

Obama hipped for the Phillies and hopped for the Rays.
I guess if I say Obama hip-hopped, I’m a racist.

It’s all about insulating their candidate from scrutiny or criticism.
Crying “racism” is the easiest way to do this. So, just frame EVERY criticism as “racially motivated”.
Like that queer KOSucker Moulitsas said - “if you say that 0bama will raise taxes, you’re a racist”

Other forbidden code words for black:
Liberal
Democrat
Illinois
Senator
Taxes
National Security
Redistribution
Supreme Court
Congress
If John McCain or Sarah Palin mention any of these - and of course there are others I didn't list - you will know that they are racists.

Lewis Diuguid (pronounced "do-good") is a race baiter of the highest level. He's the pride and joy of the KC Red Star. There's nothing that he won't tie to race.

MLK may have been an R but he was still a Socialist along with DuBois, Robeson and most of the others involved in the Civil Rights movement. The KGB was very involved with any way to disrupt the Social Fabric of the US from the bogus Rights, Union and Environmental groups. It’s well know from the history of the Soviet Disinformation efforts. Read Blacklisted by History or Comrade J.
