Grover Norquist: Obama "John Kerry With A Tan"

LA Times:

John McCain has been trying hard of late to link Barack Obama with Jimmy Carter in the public consciousness, hoping that the "ineffectual" label that many voters affix to the former president will prove transferable.

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist touts Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota as prime vice presidential prospects for presumptive Republican presdiential nominee John McCainBut Grover Norquist -- the conservative activist who specializes in promoting an anti-tax agenda and, more generally, revels in the role of agent provocateur -- is offering a different comparison.

Norquist dropped by The Times' Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama's liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee "John Kerry with a tan."

Actually, every patently racist comment made by the wingnut blabbermouths will surely "work this year" to put Obama in the White House.

Ok, Obama has gone from John Kerry, to Jimmy Carter to Nixon now back to John Kerry with a tan. Norquist is purposefully misrepresenting Obama's position on taxes, cause he knows it will effect his rich pockets.

If America could redo that `04 election Kerry would be president. The republican­s/conserva­tives have screwed this country up and they don't have the ability to admit it. The ass kickin they will get in the fall is very much deserved!
