I'm not really surprised if it's true or not.  It's a tactic both ends of the news spectrum take. 

Screaming racism tends to get people fired up because it's one of the most heinous insults one can have lobbed at them.  -Shrugs.- 

Yea, that's what I was thinking also. Kinda like comparing (insert name here) to Hitler. People know its a hot button that will get others all worked up.

and no one knows it better than Mary Francis Berry:

"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."

You know, Mary Francis....that ultra conservative former Chair of the Civil Rights Commission?

Why do you think that particular strategy is so effective?
In your quoted statement you will note that she does not say demopubs are racists just republicrats tea bagers and many americans...maybe the race thingie is gaining traction because where the "rubber meets the road" there is traction.

Well perhaps this administration could start another war...do you think that might help their chances?

No, because they dont have a chance in hell of prosecuting it correctly.

This shit didn't need an expose to be obvious. The day after Obama won the democratic nomination, the lefter side of American politics has desperately needed the race card and played it at every opportunity, and invented opportunity when it didn't exist. Bullshit aside, normal Americans don't go around with a Palin avatar - which means you have about as much clue what flies with them as Obama and Palin do.

I swear, leave this place for a few months and come back, it's the same rabid political bullshit with no common sense attached. I think I'll go back to my own advice, fuck more and argue less. It's been working great the last few months.

And these fucking clowns say the Left is running around panicked............don't see it.  Seems the right wing nuts are running around planting alotta bullshit stories, or nefariously concocting what it aint for real ones,  they havent any issues to discuss, or solutions to them. So they monger fear.  Nothing new in that plan, neither.

Perhaps you missed this:

Pick one of Obama's conservative critics, Mr. Ackerman wrote, 'Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists.' "
