McCain Claims Obama Playing The Elderly, White, Republican Card

"Barack Obama has played the elderly, white, Republican Card and he played it from the bottom of the deck," said McCain campaign manager Rick Davis. "Its divisive, negative, shameful and wrong,"

Good stuff. MCBush is running scared. He played the race card when he put a Black man with with blond women in the same ad. There is a long history of Rethugs doing this. Don't forget what they did to Ford's Senatorial run! Now, Hollywood supporters of MCSame are reportedly not returning his calls!

The Obama campaign has played the race card for months. Any criticism of Obama is automatically labeled "racism." The Clinton campaign labeled criticism "sexism." McCain is labeling criticism as "ageism" or "liberalis­m." It's politics, folks.

Grit your teeth and just wait a few more months . . . the farce which the news folks call "Decision 2008" will be over soon. Thank the good Lord.

Cute!!

Clyburn made the point this morning on CNN that Obama's overwhelmingly white crowds in Missouri and Iowa did not think he played the race card. The reporters following him did not think he played the race card.

It was not until the McCain camp SAID he played the race card that it became an issue.

Who's framing this debate? And who is falling in line, repeating the meme over and over? The corporate media!!
