It was only a matter of time before Obama played the race card.  Question him or the people he associates with, and according to John Lewis, you’re “sowing the seeds of hatred and division”.  But that absurd statement isn’t enough for Lewis because he goes on to link McCain with George Wallace and church bombings.

All I can say is wow!  If Obama wins, it’s going to be a long 4 years.  Don’t like socialized healthcare?  You wouldn’t oppose it if Obama wasn’t black.  Higher taxes stifle the economy you say?  Whitey just doesn’t want black children to eat.

However, I’m not really that concerned about Lewis’ rant.  Anyone taking it seriously wasn’t voting for McCain anyway, and I think it’s a boon to McCain with independents.  Honestly, how hard is it to dismiss Lewis as a lunatic when he provides absolutely no evidence?

According to Lewis, McCain is the George Wallace of our time, but he can’t cite one example.  Is McCain associating with right-wing Jeremiah Wrights and Bill Ayers?  Nope.  And even if he was and we applied the Obama standard, he wouldn’t be responsible for his associations anyway.

Listen, I know a lot of people blame Bush and the Republicans (incorrectly in my opinion) for the financial meltdown, but let’s be careful here.  Is an inexperienced, left-wing moonbat the guy you want protecting us and leading us through the economic crisis?  That’s far too great a risk in my mind.
