AP: Palin now employing overt racism in her attacks
 
 Advertisements [?]

We all knew this was coming--today it arrived. Sarah Palin is now making overtly racist arguments in the course of her attacks on Barack Obama:
And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.

First, Palin's attack shows that her energetic debate with rival Joe Biden may be just the beginning, not the end, of a sharpened role in the battle to win the presidency.

''Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country,'' Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. A deliberate attempt to smear Obama, McCain's ticket-mate echoed the line at three separate events Saturday.

There has been an escalation of racist rhetoric from a variety of Republican sources online, so the adoption of this line of attack by Palin, the designated "pit bull in lipstick," was not unexpected.

The question is: are American voters ready to let racism deflect their attention from the economic crisis that is killing John McCain's campaign?

I don't think they are, and if Republican persist in this line of attack, they are going to seriously damage the already horribly damaged Republican brand. John McCain's chances of becoming president are rapidly evaporating. How long will other Republicans--people with long term plans for the future of the Republican Party--allow John McCain to take a crowbar to the image of the party of Lincoln?

If John McCain makes the Republican Party synonymous with racism, how will that impact the aspirations of rising Republican stars like Eric Cantor?

Well gee, what was it that Rev. Wright and Flagle were saying not long ago? Those were not racist?

I couldn't figure out how this was in any way racist.  Unless the AP is trying to say that Obama shouldn't be hanging out with white guys or something... :mental:

Not completely selling your soul to the Obama is most certainly racist.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
