accused McCain’s campaign of cynicism

Pot? Meet Kettle.

It wasn't racist at all, but it could be called sexist because the intent was to make him out to be a little girl.

Why is there no mention anywhere of The One ad that McCain has out? Even funnier.

He can only squeeze the tooth paste tube of white guilt so much

re: #1 Sharmuta

The American people are not a gullible as obama thought we were.

People are plum tired of being told they are "racist" if they don't plan to vote for Obama.

The election for the President of the United States is too important. Most people will base their vote based on what they believe the candidate will bring to the office. For many people, the fact is that Obama doesn't bring very much at all, other than his race, and that just isn't enough.

I have this gut feeling that, come the Demo☭ratic National Convention in Denver, Hillary will have something up her sleeve....

There's plenty of time for this latest gaffe to wear off. Most folks still aren't quite engaged in the process, but it is nice to see that the luster has already started to wear off Obama's hopey-changey nonsense.

It's also entertaining for the media to come around and report on this given that Obama's statements this week were nothing more than his stock stump speech he's given dozens of times in the past few months.

All of this still pales in comparison to the gift the Democrats have given the GOP on energy policy.

You want McCain to win in November (or at least keep Obama from winning)? Press home the issue of energy and that the Democrats chose for a paid vacation over doing their constitutionally mandated job to provide for the common welfare.

Read Powerline this morning: Obama sponsored (first thing we've found!) a bill in 2005 to prevent geologists from taking inventory of the offshore oil reserves. Not drill, not pump, not set up a rig, a bill to prevent an inventory.

Be careful what you wish for. If this is the beginning of the implosion then Hillary may come back into play.

Now stung over this, Obama is likely to himself be a little more careful about being racist himself.

re: #7 reine.de.tout

re: #12 looking closely

I disagree. He'll still use it because it works well for him in the inner cities and urban areas where he needs to maximize his vote there to offset his failings everywhere else.

re: #16 Right Brain

Operation Chaos, Part II

reporting for duty! :)

Even Juan Williams on Fox News Sunday this morning stated that Obama played the "Race Card".

Demo☭ratic

Is this symbol on the keyboard?

It is hard not to see Obama's comment as racial, it's as obvious as the skin on his face. I don't care that he's a black man; okay, mostly black, but I still don't care, that argument is a red herring. He's a socialist to his core, and that is what matters to me.

The MSM is carrying Obama's water for him and trying to advance the argument while ignoring the facts of the statements he makes. The American public is not that stupid.

I'm thinking about buying Jerome Corsi's new book, "The Obamanation." He was on Hannity's American on Friday and it sounds like an informative, well-researched book with over 700 footnotes. At least someone is not buying into the god-like illusion this guys handlers are trying to create. Seems to me Stalin's handlers did something similar with him (with him pulling the strings of course) and look how that turned out for the Russian people.

Well the work day is now over. Have a good one lizards. Think happy thoughts.

I think this "controversy" has helped McCain because its caused a much wider exposure of the ad.

McCain got tons of free coverage from it, and its precisely BECAUSE Obama's people pointed at racism where none exists.

Sen. McCain needs to run an ad slamming BHO for that.

No matter how much Obama tries to control the debate every time he opens his mouth and issues another clarification or cries being attacked yet again the more people see him as a political lightweight who can't function off the cuff and away from a teleprompter.

Indeed- the big broo-ha-ha over this did nothing but cause curiosity. More people saw the ad, more people saw the "racist" label as BS, and more people saw the actual content of the ad- obama's energy policy. Overall- I think the whole flap by obama's camp harmed them more than it helped them.

Once your adversary calls your arguments being cynical - you know you've hit home.
Good thing to keep the heavy political stuff for after Denver - people need to remember those arguments when they're in the polling booths.

Going too soon with heavy-duty politics can backfire, as we saw here in GB last autumn.
Gordon brown was thinking of going for an early election - and had his chancellor of the exchequer (thats finance) put Tory financial aims into his budget, which he 'd plundered from the Tory conference.
Thats why here the Tories are keeping their powder veeery dry!
McCain must do the same - lefties are devoid of ideas and will steal them where they can!

"On Saturday Obama backed off the racism charge and accused McCain’s campaign of cynicism instead."

McCain can make things right by only putting out pro-Obama campaign commercials. This postion has been approved by the NY Times.

Its also racist, and you raise I point I've made here before.

To the extent that Obama's race has had ANY effect on the primaries and election so far, its only HELPED him. Ferraro had it right. Any white senator with Obama's razor thin CV and super-leftist record would have been eliminated from the Dem primary process early.

For Obama to imply that the electorate is racist by not supporting him (not that he has done this) would be purely hypocritical.

Hillary's supports are most likely going to start a floor fight, especially if Obama keeps sliding in the polls. This won't help the Dems in any way, but they are so power-hungry, they won't much care... or more likely, that chaos is exactly what they'll want to make sure Obama and the dems lose so hillary can try gain in 2012 instead of having to wait maybe 16 years to try again: 8 for Obambi, 8 for his VP if there is a country left after the first 4 years of Obama.

It depends what the person's skin color is. If the candidate is Caucasian, that is still racist; if they are any other color that is perfectly acceptable.

re: #52 looking closely

Obama would, in my view, win a lot of credit if he gave a speech declaring that his candidacy proves that race is no longer a barrier to success in this nation. He cannot do that however without abandoning the politics of race upon which his career is based.

3) In the Il State Legislature for years with leading on a single bill.

re: #60 skippyMoment
Hey, good to see you out here again! And I think you're correct - I just don't see Hillary quitting when she can make a great case about electability - she carried EVERY big electoral vote state (except for Obama's home state of Illinois) during the Dem Primaries and he keeps eating his foot on a daily basis - electability is what they are gonna push.

Well Harvard is pretty much a diploma mill for the well connected families on the Left.

The other side can whine all they want about John McCain being at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy but as a naval officer and as a military aviator he is used to thinking on his feet and performing the Boyd Cycle (the OODA loop; observe, orient, decide, act) constantly and as quickly as possible. Most Leftists can't even attempt to do without fouling it up badly. And when you look at rich Lefties such as the Kennedy clan it appears that they can't do it at all.

I occasionally have time to post, but mostly you-know-who keeps me pretty busy on weekends.

The think is most people know that Hillary is power-hungry, and more and more people are coming to see that Obama as just another politician -- his faithful still have the scales on their eyes so they can't see the forest for the trees.

Basically, the dems will do anything to win -- cheat, lie, steal, cut the legs off their opponent's campaign, anything. Hillary can't be seen as the one pulling the strings on anything at the convention. She'll have to pretend to be against her backers' actions, but any speech she gives will end up coming back around to, "I'm ready, willing and able to step in if that is the wish of the people."

It will be interesting to watch.

There's that adorable squirrel! We have a feisty squirrel that lives in our oak trees. He actually charges at our Chihuahua. They play games. It is so cute.

Both campaigns expressed a desire to move beyond the recent flap. On Saturday Obama backed off the racism charge and accused McCain’s campaign of cynicism instead. He also rejected McCain’s charge that the Democrat himself had brought race into the campaign with his dollar bill comment.

Of course Obama wants to move away from the issue. It is a loser and it potentially exposes him to the examination of his radical extremist back ground and ties.

And of course the Republicans would like to move away from the issue too. It is their pattern. Get the other guy down on the mat, dazed and desperate, about to tap-out, and they "move away from the issue."

They gave Obama a chance to look like a fool, and he jumped at it. That is, the McCain campaign move worked, but it took Obama to complete it!

Obama just has nuthin', when it gets past teleprompter-land.

re: #125 MandyManners
I'm not sure Mandy - iirc about 40 Repub's were there when Pelosi literally turned out the lights and turned off the mic's. Don't know how many stayed after that, because the Communist News Network stopped broadcasting it and you KNOW the MSM didn't really even mention it in passing. But an ad that had whomever the Repub's had speaking, then showing the lights going out and microphones shut off saying "Why didn't the Democrats stay to work on this CRITICAL aspect of our ECONOMY and even go so far as to SHUT OFF DISCUSSION, LIGHTS AND MICROPHONES - on an issue of such great economic importance to Americans everywhere" would have a nice effect.

I keep remembering Pelosi holding a press-conference for the signing of some legislation. Her at at table with multilple pens and her acolytes standing around.

I thought,WTF, she isn't a signing of a treaty. Then she commented how people like to collect such things. Like, she thought the pens would be listed on e-bay by midnight.

WTF could the speaker-of-the-house be signing that could be so important? Nothing.

re: #8 Macker

I have this gut feeling that, come the Demo☭ratic National Convention in Denver, Hillary will have something up her sleeve....

It's possible, but she's down to what, three weeks left? Obama's slipped a bit in the polls lately, but it's hard to imagine him falling apart in time for her to step in.

I suspect her aim right now is to see Obama nominated, crushed McGovern-style in November then welcome the party back with an unspoken motto of "I told you so"; after losing two elections by nominating fairly obscure Senators, going for someone with name recognition (even if it is her name!) should be a much more appealing choice for the party faithful.

Seriously, what do you think it would take to derail his campaign among Democrats in the space of three weeks, live footage of him eating puppies? A few months more gaffes and arrogant ignorance might be enough to cost him the support of the American public, but the support of hard-core leftists in three weeks? That's a tall order.

Obviously that's also racist. BUT - if I were a Black man I'd vote for Obama cause it's the first time EVER that a Black man (who supposedly understands me and my community as a Black Man) could become President. Yes it's still racist, but I think it's understandable.

Hi, realwest. I hope you are feeling well today.

Your comment reminded me of a recent experience.

I wouldn't excuse any racism as "understandable".

I recently listened in on a conversation here in Canada. Two white men and one Chinese man were talking.

The Chinese man said, "I love my neighbourhood: it's all Chinese. I walk out of my door and I only see Chinese people... My son's school is great: it is mostly Chinese. There is one black boy and one or two white boys, that is all. It is very good to live in an all-Chinese community."

The conversation then moved on to how the Chinese are superior in study habits, etc.

While it is understandable that people like to be around people who are similar to themselves in some way (race, culture, religion, socioeconomic class), I wanted to ask that man why he was racist against non-Chinese people. I wanted to ask the other two men why they nodded and agreed with every word the Chinese man said, even when it denigrated people from their own ethnic group.

I also wanted to turn that conversation around: what if a white person had said that about his neighbourhood? Imagine me saying: My daughter's school is great, because it's mostly white: there's only one black and two Chinese students. I prefer my neighbourhood because it is all white of British descent: when I leave my house in the morning, I only see white, British people and I love it.

It sometimes seems it is only racist when white people say it but I don't agree with racism from any group.

Seems to me that one more gaffes from him, and one or two more "demonstrations" of possible opposition to him from Black Democrats (can you say Jesse Jackson - I knew you could!) could be enough to raise the electibility issue and Hillary has some serious cards to play there.
And the superdelegates don't cast their vote nor are they bound to any statements of support until the actual convention.

If Sen. Barack Obama [D-IL] had merely said the ad was a puff character attack, all memory of the ad would have vanished down the memory hole. But he had to pull the pin on the race card grenade and it looks like it was instead a Claymore aimed at the Obama campaign. Whoops.

McCain will beat Obama by a 9% to 14% range in the popular vote. The electoral college vote will be closer, but McCain will win pull out an upset in at least one large state thought to be leaning Obama.

Obama bores me. ID vs. Evo bores me. Hell, I bore me.

Maybe I'll ride down to Thompson's Cut and watch the pretty girls play in the White River. But, truth be told, even that bores me.

Guess I'll go out to the garage and putter. Maybe work on that better mousetrap. Naw, who wants the world beating a path to their door?

This must be why they invented liquor.

Yes, I understood. That's why I said your comment reminded me of my recent experience.

I told someone just yesterday that I came from the half of my senior class that made the top half possible.

Enabler.

It wasn't racist at all, but it could be called sexist because the intent was to make him out to be a little girl.

No, they tried to make him out to be a little white girl.

It's a wonder no one's picked up the connection to Michael Jackson.

The American people are not a gullible as obama thought we were.

True, but that's apparently not saying much. 22% thought it racist? That's ridiculous! It's ridiculous that it's enough of an issue for somebody to pay to take a poll on it.

These 22% must be the same sort as the ignorant, jerky black local legislator I saw a clip of the other day. He demand an apology from a white colleauge for using the term "black hole" to describe a budget item that they just kept throwing money at, without ever getting any positive results. The term "black hole" is "racist", after all...

22% is a LOT of stupid, ignorant race-baiters and partisan hacks. WAY too many.

So when the Obamanation claimed that no one in his audiences or the public attributed racism to his statements, the ONE told a lie (given that he is the Messiah and knows the minds of everyone in his audience and the public, given that fifty three percent do believe he was injecting racism in his statements. This is a big deal because it shows that the US public is getting other sources of information than the LLLMSM and its attempt to control the debate on libsocialist terms. Thanks Gore for the internet. heehee. Thanks Rush for twenty years in valiant battle against the liberoid beasts. These comments by the Obamantion will not help him win over the general public. The fun part is that Axelrod is in the middle of this firestorm and he could no more toss Axelrod under the bus that he could toss himself. One wonders if there are a couple of more weeks of this, and the Obamanation's poll numbers actually plummet under McCain's, whether the uncommitted superdelegates will form a draft Hillary committee for the convention? Dreams.
Ah life is beginning to become sweet again.

re: #137 rwmofo

Did anyone see Senator Lieberman on FNS this morning advocating McCain?

I caught bits & pieces of it but will listen to the podcast later. Did anyone think that Joe has had cosmetic surgery?...

re: #10 Right Brain

Read Powerline this morning: Obama sponsored (first thing we've found!) a bill in 2005 to prevent geologists from taking inventory of the offshore oil reserves. Not drill, not pump, not set up a rig, a bill to prevent an inventory.

I think there was some discussion on this blog (that I missed jumping in on) about BHO filp-flopping on the offshore drilling issue.

I have to take what is probably an unpopular view here, and say that there really was no flip-flop on this. He has always been against offshore drilling, and remains so. It's that simple.

The confusion comes from his attempt to try to placate potential fence-sitters who are angry about high prices at the pump. All he said, if I recall correctly, was that he would consider compromising on the issue, if certain vaguely-specified conditions were met.

You'd have to be a sucker to fall for that line. If he was ever in the position to be called on it, he would simply claim that his conditions had not been met. He would NOT OK offshore drilling, and has said as much - you just have to read the fine print.

You need sunshine - Vitamin D which has been shown to boost immunity and fight off infections.

Thanks. I'm out on the patio now, heading to the pool deck a little later, for just that reason.

More breaking news - I still believe he doesn't know how to pronounce his name.
