Hugh Hewitt provides this insight:
Barack Obama's attribution to John McCain and the GOP of the intention to use racist appeals in the campaign ahead is despicable. Lots and lots of conservatives over the years have had their deep and sharp disagreements with the Arizona maverick, but no one has ever argued that he was other than a man of complete integrity and honor, and not even the far-left fringe has previously attempted to argue McCain is a racist. Here's what Obama said at a Florida fundraiser:“The choice is clear. Most of all we can choose between hope and fear. It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?"
Obama's casual slander of his opponents tells us everything about Obama and nothing about McCain or McCain's campaign. A day after Obama broke his promise to use public financing and the same week in which Obama ducks townhall forums with McCain that the Democratic nominee had previously agreed to, Obama plays a victim card, asking voters to feel sorry for him because he will be subject to attacks on his race by John McCain.
Obama is not venturing into new territory with this rhetoric.
His people played the race card on Bill Clinton and now they've pre-emptively played the same card on McCain and the GOP.
It's Obama's ideas we have problem with--not his few genes that bring about skin pigmentation.
