Cowboy Confessional

Let history show that Obama is a racist.

During a fundraising event, Obama insinuated that Republicans would play the race card. Obama committed a great feat of rhetorical slight-of-hand. He played the race card play accusing in advance of evidence that his opponents would play the race card.

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid … He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

I think Obama is confusing McCain for Hillary Clinton, whose campaign made a point of publicly pursuing white voters and amplifying their fears about every aspect of Obama, including his race. Democrat Ed Rendell publicly stated that white voters wouldn’t back Obama for the crime of being black (he is actually mulatto). Former Vice Presidential candidate, Democrat Geraldine Ferraro, bitched that Obama won the race simply because he was dark skinned.

You would think Hillary, Rendell and Ferraro were modern Dixiecrats.

I dislike defending the Republicans ever since they abandoned anything resembling a political philosophy (just what do the stand for these days?) But I have not heard a word about race coming from their camp. McCain comes from the desert region, which in these United States tends to be race neutral and libertarian leaning. The Party of Lincoln, of emancipation and liberation of the plantations is hardly the breeding ground for racist tendencies.

Indeed, the most openly hostile racist I know, and one who lives in left-leaning California, is a life long Democrat.

This makes Obama (if you are intellectually honest) the real racist. He staked a race-based position about his opponents that is not substantiated by fact. He has stereotyped an entire party and all of its members (including its black members) as bigots. Obama has devised a racist position, and through an intellectual bait-and-switch placed his racism at the feet of his opponent.

It may be good politics, but it is lousy leadership. America is a land of mutts, and we mutts have great instincts. Mutts know who to trust and who not to trust. Obama’s racist screed just gave the mutts reason to bite him.
