I see..... So the talking heads are calling for McCain to become an outright RACIST

[Hutzpa]

just heard this on Anderson 360 and earlier on Tweety the same topic
was discussed by his guest.

When the talking heads start sending code words you know they are
desperate, whats striking though, is the fact that they are calling
on the McCain camp to go negative which is in coded word RACIST.

Let the World know Obama is BLACK and McCain is WHITE, I'm sure
that'll work.

:wtf:

1. I heard that earlier today. It was like they were encouraging him

or saying "that's all he has left". What kind of journalism is that? Why are they saying thats all he's got? He has no new ideas? He can't spell out his plan for America?

[Hutzpa]

16. When Pundits start egging

a candidate to go negative with racism then you know all
is lost, if the media can pass this as a narrative for
a campaign to use should be very disturbing to all of
us.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Holy crap, how come I'm always the last to know?

Obama's BLACK???

[NYC_SKP]

3. They're going to go "cultural" with the campaign....

Not very veiled for going after the exotic/muslim/RevWright/black attack strategies cuz that's all that they have.

Interesting...

[napi21]

4. I thought cultural meant they were going to try the abortion/guns

crap again????

[Hutzpa]

8. Nope

not in McCain's camp...

muslim/Rev Wright/Ayers/black elitist thats the message the
talking heads are sending to them.

We shall see....

[Jennicut]

5. Desperation. Talking heads want a horce race and McTroll has nothing left.

[TankLV]

6. Maybe mcINSANE should mention the fact that he was a POW!!!

I bet nobody even knows that!

[BeatleBoot]

7. Wow. I never saw that one coming.

...and what do you mean by "to become" in your subject line?

[Hutzpa]

9. to become......

scaring people from voting for him because he is a
blackman and he will eat your children.

[BeatleBoot]

13. It's difficult for McCain TO BECOME a racist

when he already IS one.

Was my point.

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth!

[Hutzpa]

14. Looks like we where both being snarky

oh well...

good thing we are on the same side.

[BeatleBoot]

15. GOBAMA!

Go Dems up and down the ticket!

[OHdem10]

10. I think they mean God, Guns, Gays with a little "Rev. Wirght,"

etc thrown in.

I tend to agree with Chuck Todd. If they start down this low road
with the country in a crisis and 2 wars--people facing really "hard
times"---I find it hard to believe that this mess will stick.

However, the Campaign must be ready to fight back hard if it happens.

Hopefully, this will make people really really angry. They will
see, I hope, which party really cares about their interests.

[Hutzpa]

12. All I can say is,

I'm glad I'm not a REPUBLICAN.


:dem:

[FrenchieCat]

11. Why are we allowing the Pundits to promote this kind of shit......

Shouldn't we be complaining about this outward Racism?

As well, shouldn't we be complaining that they can say stuff like.....Biden will have to go easy on Palin, because she's a woman. That is sexism.

We really should be on these Pundit's asses!

Here's the contact info, if anyone wants it. Emails should be addressed to those advancing this notion, and LTTEs should be going out pointing out that this kind of journalism should not stand!
