Which should be too hard to do.

Start with the Southern Strategy of covert appeals to Southern racists that began after LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act in 1964 & 1965.

Then go to Reagan launching his campaign talking about "states rights" a segregationist buzzword in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where the three civil rights workers were killed in the 60s.

Until recently, there was the obligatory stop of GOP candidates at racist Bob Jones University, where inter-racial dating was not allowed until 2000.

Then go to various uses of blacks as boogey men by the likes of Jesse Helms in his "white hands" commercial and Papa Bush with Willie Horton.

There are also the various statements of Rush Limbaugh including his brief tenure as a sportscaster, and Bill O'Reilly being shocked that black people behaved in a nice restaurant and weren't screaming obscenities.

Besides Bush's inaction during Hurricane Katrina, you have Fox News calling black residents looters and whites "searching for supplies," and a GOP congressman saying the destruction of low income housing was god doing what they couldn't.



Careful boy - democrats aren't exactly innocent in their history of treatment of blacks.

The first Tuesday of November is going to be pure comedy gold at the DUmp.  The following Wednesday will be even better.

I don't think we need to bring up wright in the fall. Hillary will be pounding that home between now and August, thats four more months of mud and slander courtesy of the Clinton machine.

But this goes to show that any criticism of BO will result in racist accusations. Unfortunately, the DNC has used that accusation far too often and its impact is either blunted or outright ignored. Especially when compared to the real racism of a Presidential pastor.

As of this week, I believe Obama is finished, Hillary will take the nomination.

I'm sure I missed the latest rewrite of history, but I'm pretty sure LBJ couldn't get the Civil Rights Act passed without REPUBLICANS. Wasn't it actually southern DEMOCRATS (Algore's father among them) who were against it?

How about we bring up actual racism?  The veiled racism of low expectations.  The fact that despite all of the promises for 40+ years, the Democratic Party has not done and never attempted to do anything that would actually lift minorities out of their situations.

Something tells me Dems trying to bring up racism with Hussein Osama as their nominee given all his associations with racists and anit-semites just isn't going to get very far.
