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.

"I really didn’t think the democrats would go this far. It is a desparate, disgusting, Saul Alinsky move".

Generally, I believe MOST of those on the left are sincere when they cry racism regarding Obama. They really believe it.

They can't come up with any other reason why folks would be opposed to his agenda.

It's the communism,m stupid.

They can imply all they want, personally I am done with white guilt, and I am not going to let it rule me or keep me from speaking up anymore.

The reason that this article is irresponsible is that what it reports is simply conjecture. There is not one shred of actual evidence presented that any of Obama’s detractors are racists and there is no discussion of alternative and legitimate reasons why people might be unhappy with Obama. Just plain ridiculous and biased.

The only reason we see these articles is that the writers hope that by bringing up the race card is that they hope by doing so that people with legitimate complaints will be cowed into not expressing them due to the fear of being labelled a racist.

Wont work this time. “Not this time. Not now” Ha ha.

They do cite some senators playing the race card but you’re correct... a few does not make a fact.

Irresponsible MSM politico journalism.

Just curious. When Rush and others say that Obama was voted in as President because he is black or that he made it into his school because of Affirmative Action or when Rush said that Donovan McNabb is popular only because he is black, or when any assault by a black person on a white person is claimed to be because of race, are these not examples of “playing the race card”?
