You are if you have any questions regarding Barack Obama’s connection to Franklin Raines, the former CEO of Fannie Mae!

At least that is what Senate Majority leader Harry Reid says. Here is the audio.

It has become obvious that any attempt to look at Obama’s record or connections will now be called racist. I hope they keep doing it because they run the risk of alienating independent white voters, many of whom may be telling pollsters they support Obama just to avoid being called a racist.

Earlier this week, AP told us it is racist to question a black presidential candidate’s friendship with a domestic terrorist who is white.

Now Barney Frank says it is racist to question him about his role in the Global Financial Crisis that he helped create.

Is it any wonder that people lie to pollsters when a black candidate is involved?

Update: Wow, CNN actually ran a mostly unbiased report about Obama and Bill Ayers. They must be racists too!

I hope Anderson Cooper doesn’t plan on going to any cocktail parties soon.

On one of this morning’s radio shows a black activist propounded the idea that blacks, because they are black, should vote for Barack Obama. No other reason was offered, this one sufficed.

Let us extend this reasoning to encompass that all whites should vote for McCain solely because he is white.
Any one have a problem with this logic? Seems faultless to me.

This presents a real problem for women voting, do they vote race or gender?

This seems to be a constant problem with identity politics.

Anyone willing to discard the person who raised them needs a generous helping of damnation.

So wear this solidarity button in good spirits.

Let Hussein know what you think! 

What a mess Barack Obama finds himself in with Jeremiah Wright. When selling yourself as a “unificator”, having an Art Bell listener with strong racist overtones as your mentor doesn’t help the cause. It’s especially damaging when you don’t have anything else to sell, like those pesky accomplishment things, which no Obama supporter has detailed for us yet.

After initial spin control failed, nobody bought the “crazy uncle” story; Barack will address us from his celestial throne on the topic of race in America tomorrow. He gave a preview of the speech in a News Hour interview:

And I think it would have been naïve for me to think that I could run and end up with quasi-frontrunner status in a presidential election as potentially the first African-American president that issues, race wouldn’t come up any more than Senator Clinton could expect that gender issues might not come up.

The Obama campaign injects its best red herring into the discussion. He’d rather talk about slavery and racism when the question that needs answering is much simpler—why didn’t he walk out? If a pastor started talking about how the government created HIV to target African Americans, most people are walking out. Yet a man claiming the judgment necessary to be President of the United States sat in the pew for 20 years while the crazy uncle rambled on.

We don’t need a lecture, no matter how eloquent, about your bi-racial upbringing, racism in American, or how different generations view things differently. What we need to know is why you spent 20 years listening to a racist conspiracy theorist instead of walking out. Save the rest of your shtick for the adoring media who ignored this story until the reverend showed up on YouTube.
