Race war?

Serious question. How will that help obama?

Because it gets sold as blacks/minorities struggling to protect themselves from the depredations of the republicans, who always let themselves get tarred and feathered by liberals/democrats with the "hater" epithet, and the pitch will be "if you're a person of conscience who wants to protect the oppressed and downtrodden, then you'll join us in the fight against the forces of evil."

Everyone, particularly younger people, who tend to be rather ovine when it comes to what they do - not having sufficient experience to have developed a set of mature principles to guide their own behavior, they tend to follow a charismatic trend-setter simply in order not to be the odd man out - fancies themselves a person of conscience who, of course, will fight the good fight to protect the innocent from the forces of evil, and since it takes wisdom more than intelligence to tell the difference, a race war would make it possible for the democrats/liberals to make that rhetorical, but substantively false, pitch to the younger crowd which, so far, appears to be suffering from a surfeit of apathy this time around.

For those who believe that good intentions trump actual results, a race war is always a useful rhetorical device.

It’s not just the race war, either. The evil Republican “war on women” is big with single women in the 20s. My own daughter has succumbed to that ridiculous theme without any critical thinking of her own (I am ashamed to say). To her, the most important issue of the day is a woman’s right to murder her unborn baby.

Bring back memories of the 1960s, when the GOP got 60 percent of the white vote in 2010? It doesn't sound too smart

And remember Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dorn/Weather Underground, it’s part of how they organize off campus. On campus will be organized too, it would be short sited to think otherwise.
