Apophatic,

One – Most of the things you’re describing weren’t started by conservatives or the GOP; they were started and propagated by the Clinton campaign or her supporters, the Clintonistas.

Two – The racist tactics used by some of the GOP were soundly denounced by Sen. McCain.

Now the attempt to associate Obama with Palestinian terrorists did come from the McCain staff, that’s true. It’s hardly racist though to show that – at that pre-AIPAC meeting time – the Palestinians preferred Obama as the next POTUS. It may be nasty politics, but it’s not racism.

Perhaps you should think long and hard about how much you want a candidate to be held responsible for what people in his party and people who support him do. Shall we all hold Obama accountable for the vile nastiness and vitriol that his supporters spewed – and continue to spew – at the Clintonistas?

Have you been living in a hole in the ground? You’ve not come across conservatives questioning his citizenship, constant insinuations that he is a Muslim, tongue in cheek comments about his “unfortunate” name, the attempt to connect him with Palestinian terrorists through one of his campaign advisers? “Obama played the race card” indeed. Obama brought the GOP racist whisper campaign against him into the light, and that is why the Republicans are pissed. Karl Rove’s tactics don’t work properly when they are openly challenged.

“If you want something bad enough, you will play all the cards in your hand”

That’s disturbingly close to “anything it takes to win” or “the ends justify the means.” I’m not exactly sure that’s an attitude I want in the POTUS, especially one with an sweeping agenda.

No, McCain hasn’t played the race card at all during the campaign and has chastised other members of the GOP who did. All he did was rightfully complain about being obliquely accused of planning to do so.

If you want something bad enough, you will play all the cards in your hand- so if he did, why should anyone blame him.And why is ‘the race card’ always black? Hasn’t McCain played the race card too, the white one?

I looked at all of your post regarding Obama and waded through your delusion and paranoia that seems fueled by an unreasoning hatred of Whites and conservatives in general. There were NO creditable sources for any use of Race against Obama by the McCain campaign.

You are like so many other fanatics who have accepted Obama as their personal Marxist savior. You respond to any criticism of your new messiah with the rabid fury of Spanish Inquisition.

What amuses me about that is that such behavior is straight of of the Rove political handbook.

This is laughable. Everything Obama is denouncing IS being spread about him by fearmongers and those used as fools. And IS being used directly by the McSame campaign.

I think I know which category you’re in.

Not that I can possibly expect any facts to influence your preconceived ideology.

Ooooh, ooooh, Obama is scary. And he might not be CHRISTIAN! And he’s definitely not BLACK!

You haven’t bothered to look at ANY of my posts documenting the charges — stay in your own li’l fantasy world.
