Teh Stoopid... it burns! Months and months of "reporting" by sites you link to (sites such as Faux news, Little Green Wingers, Townhall, Redstate) as well as Hannity, Rush, Savage, and the other TruthTellers of the Right have been spewing racial nonsense against BO ad nauseum from the get go. Dont you recall the labels like..... Hafrican (Faux), separatist, angy black man, not-black-enough, reparations demanding, rev write loving, madrassa-educated manchurian candidate, etc...... that you guys have been bandying about for 1.5 years now? Why, that sounds like "playing the race card". What a sad lot you are. Good Lord! Teh Stoopid… it burns!

I just chuckle when I think about the many many rants Ragnar had about how Bush was stubburn and would not admit reality... Reminds me of a certain Dem Senator who toured Iraq SAFELY because of a surge plan (Whihc McCain called for for YEARS) and then won't admit it worked. Hmmm Barr is not on my radar.

And I don't like it." Ridiculous. The man is simply stating McCain, using the playbook of George Bush and Jesse Helms, is snake-ishly using his race and name to cast doubt. I don't blame McCain, he knows NOT to steer the debate to the issues...that way he'd be blown out of the water.

Oh, let’s see the proof of that!

Sorry, Senator “57″ isn’t going to get a free pass here.

Didn’t realize Pudge had been traded. That’s too bad. He brought the Tigers to being a competitive team.

McCain is making Obama's race and his ethnicity an issue every day. THAT is your low point in the campaign. It only gets lower when Obama is attacked for defending himself from this scurrilious attacks. It is increasingly obvious that all McCain, the GOP, and possibly BD has to offer is attack and slander, no plans, no ideas, no thoughts, just attack and the simple mantra: Obama is bad, you can't trust Obama, and McCain isn't Obama. Who even has an idea what McCain stands for? I seem to recall BD attacking John Kerry for a similarly bad campaign in 2003... JR – Duh, the race card has been played, but not by Obama.
