Barack Injects Race

With the Hillary/Barack conflict over, and with Republicans apparently not interested in stoking racial tensions, how will Democrats keep racial conflict in the forefront? That's easy. They'll do their own race-baiting!

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.

This is more of Barack's maliciousness - trying to claim that his friendships with terrorists, sleazy convicted moneymen, and racist preachers (only one member of this list is black, by the way) should be protected from investigation because doing so will just be racist - following the same pattern of manipulation he demonstrated in opting out of the finance system.

"We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.

"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

How does Barack's name and skin color relate to his inexperience and his cluster of shady friends and advisors? It doesn't, but Barack seeks safety by melding them together. If you say he's unqualified, that will mean you're a racist. If you question his alliance with a convicted briber, you're a racist.

He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

"We know the strategy because they've already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn't moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us," he said.

Why is he race baiting? Why does he think he'll need tens of millions of dollars more than John McCain to compete? Because he knows that the stuff in his closet is ugly and will be damaging, and he wants to spend millions to keep the door closed so no one gets to learn the truth. How's that for a new kinda politics.
