AUSTIN – Eight months into Barack Obama’s presidency, as criticism of his administration seems to reach new levels of volume and intensity each week, the whispers among some of his allies are growing louder: That those who loathe the nation’s first African–American president, and especially those who would deny his citizenship, are driven at least in part by racism.

It’s a feeling that’s acutely felt among those supporters of Obama who are themselves minorities. Conversations with Democrats at an otherwise upbeat Democratic National Committee fall gathering here, an event largely devoted to party housekeeping, reflected a growing anger at what many see as a troubling effort to delegitimize Obama’s hold on the office.

Whats a “Kayne West”? Seriously.

A supposed rap artist with a lot of psychological baggage on the down low.

You’re so right. That’s why a nobody from the back bench who (to some people) looked and sounded good was pulled forward and nominated in the first place. They could hide behind him and use the race card to stifle opposition. It was clear from day one.

The Democrats routinely lie. Let them live in the fantasy World they’ve created for themselves.

Joe Biden (plugs) warned us about this happening and testing Obama during his first term.

I wonder when the “weekly addresses” will become “daily”?

He sure does seem to have control the spin an awful lot, of late.....:)

It is quite ironic, the supposed “post-racial” candidate, using race as a bludgeon. There hasn’t been a single issue where opponents haven’t been characterized as racists.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Legitimate?...Gee! He may not even be a “legitimate” natural born citizen, or even a “legitimate” citizen.

Once again I will reiterate the obvious for the liberals...

IT'S NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH!

IT'S THE COLOR OF HIS POLICIES THAT MAKE US PROTEST!

I know it's hard for liberals to understand but maybe we should have shirts and bumber stickers made up with this slogan.

Exactly!

One second we hear this...

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090913/D9AMJUCG1.html

Then...some lardmouth Pelosi or a BCC member and 0bama on 60 minutes says it will pass their way or the highway.

They are like 16 year old commies that got the keys to the car but they have not a clue what they are doing. They only know how to apply Alinsky tactics, race-bait and have ego trips of power.

Many of those that voted for 0bama did so in order to purchase absolution for their racial guilt.

They’ve found out that they were RIPPED OFF.

This guy and his cronies have no intention of “getting past the race issue” and have every intent of implementing “get whitey” policies.

“They can imply racism, or state it as fact - it is not going to work anymore.”

Agreed, and playing the race card is their trump card. There’s nothing left after that.
Plus, the race card thing is going to backfire spectacularly. Good people don’t like being accused like this and they will go to the polls to flush this collective Washington nightmare down the toilet.

Crying racism is today’s application of Godwin’s law.

If I don’t believe in any issue supported by Obama, I’m now a racist. Opposed to Cap and Tax to fight Global Warming? Racist! Opposed to Obama’s policies on Israel? Racist! Opposed to his health plan? Racist! Sick of seeing him on TV at least once a day? Racist! And suspicious of the mainly minority staffed ACORN? RACIST!!!!

Shutting down contrary opinions with the fairness doctrine. On the internet, radio. TV.

Funny, in light of the fact that his most consistent and courageous critic over the last five years has been Dr. Alan Keyes.

Keyes: Obama is a radical communist and an abomination
