Ask the black former mayors of non-black majority cities how many times the race card can be played...
...they’ll all tell you once. And then it’s back to qualifications.
Don’t ever underestimate the Left’s expertise when it comes to using propaganda and language in particular to get what it wants. Examine your own language choices, such as “gay”, “pro-choice”, “African-American” and many more, which have been made for you, and you joyfully have accepted them as if they were your own. Examples abound. Who owns the language owns the reality, that is to say the mobs perception of reality, and never mind the unemployment rate and housing under the water. Most voters have jobs, D’uh! The Right is woefully inept in this category. I am convinced that the 2012 election will be decided by the language and the perceptions it creates, and you can be sure, Shirley, that the Adolf lookalike Commie Axelrod knows his stuff.
