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.

The media regurgitates Obama scripts on queue. For example, racist white people cost him Pennsylvania:

Obama’s crossover appeal didn’t seem to work so well in Pennsylvania, where he lost a significant portion of working-class whites and Catholic voters to rival Clinton.

Any credible analysis starts and ends with Obama calling small town Pennsylvanians racist gun totting Jesus freaks. Obama ceded PA to Clinton with those stupid, bigoted remarks.

If Barack has a wider race problem, it’s a self-inflicted wound. His mentor preaches racial intolerance from the pulpit. He called his grandmother a “typical white person” and said racism was bred into her. His wife isn’t proud of our country, and Obama is still hedging on the Wright issue:

“He went through experiences I never went through. I am the beneficiary of the civil rights movement,” said Obama.

Way to demonstrate backbone and leadership, Barack. Who in their right mind thinks the man who can’t take on a racist preacher can lead the free world?

If John McCain was a 20 year member of a church where the pastor said African Americans invented AIDS to target white people, his political career would be over. People couldn’t run away from him fast enough, but Obama gets a “do over” with today’s speech on race relations.

The most amazing part of his speech was a quasidefense of Wright. According to Barack, we just don’t know the Pastor well enough, but give me a break. He wasn’t talking about affirmative action or reparations. He was pushing David Duke style racist conspiracy theories. It was ignorant, wrong, racist, and above all else indefensible.

Instead of clapping in your pew, you and Michelle, Harvard Law educated, 6 figure income earners who haven’t struggled too hard in life, had a duty to stand up for your country and your fellow citizens right then. If anyone knew the racially charged invective coming from the pulpit didn’t represent the absolute truth, it was the two of you. That’s where the real error in judgment came in and you’re compounding it by continuing to embrace the man today.

Barack wanted to discuss anything today but his judgment. He offered a history of race relations, a discussion on healthcare, and number of other red herrings to avoid the real issue. But his continued embrace of the crazy uncle tells me he’s definitely not the man you want on the other end of the phone when that call comes in at 3 AM in the morning.
