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.

Race war may have been to inflammatory. But I stand by the concept of generating conflict as a means of eliminating apathy as far as the Dems are concerned. If they can keep their targeted demographics glued to the TV then they can move them to vote in the desired manner and thus continue the current administration.
