John McCain campaign manager Rick Davis – the man who began the Paris Hilton/Barack Obama comparison – today said that the Democratic presidential hopeful has been playing the proverbial race card:
“Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck,” said Rick Davis, in a statement issued from the McCain campaign. “It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.”
Yesterday in Missouri, Obama predicted McCain and the GOP would use racially-tinged attacks against him.
“What they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama said. “You know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”
An Obama spokesman denied that the line about “dollar bills” was related to the Democrat’s race.
Hmmm, we don’t know if we believe that, but we do believe Davis is making a stretch with this “race card” comment. But, you know, that campaign’s running scared after weeks of gaffes and lackluster press appearances. It must be sad for them.

I like the race card image.
It does seem McSame’s staff is crying wolf on the dollar bill statement.
do you have an age card…and is it wrinkled?

OF COURSE mccain’s going to play the race card. They’ve played the PARIS HILTON card for chrissake.

Idiot, it was obama that played the race card, cant you read ? obama was the one who pointed out he is (half) nigger.
garynyc
How, pray tell is Paris Hilton playing the race card…you do know she is white, very wasp white.
Michael Duquette
Obama is playing the race card, he’s been playing it the entire time. He played it against Hillary and won, it was the race issue that flipped the swicth in South Carolina. Don’t be pissy queens and face the facts

I was merely pointing out that the mccain campaign is playing every card in the deck, including the preposterous PH one, dearheart (and GaryNYC, there’s really no reason for the “idiot” thing). And it’s obvious that mccain is doing the race-baiting here; by accusing Obama of playing the “race card” he gets to passive/aggresively remind everyone that his opponent is not a white person–just as Obama suggested he might do.
But there’s really no point in discussing this with you, GaryNYC, because you’ve made your own cards quite plain.
Tom
Oh, a new troll, how lovely. Obviously he does not know it takes a lot more than the word nigger to stir up we bitches on this site. Next!
GaryNYC is a stupid bitch
GaryNYC, you’re the idiot. Can’t you read? Take that oversized black dildo out of your ass, give it back to your mother, and rearead the post.
It says THEY played the PARIS card, not that PARIS played any card at all.
Sheesh, don’t they teach basic reading skills as well as creationism where you come from?

What, you think the McCain camp just “happened” to juxtapose Obama with two blonde, white women the “Celeb” ad? Wake up!

Obama’s speech today nailed McSame
“Paris and Britney…is that the best you got?”
the crowd howled with laughter

McLame is a desperate fool. Someone make an Ad with him and Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Rivers making a crack about old people sex…
CHURCHILL-Y
pLZ..This is the narrative and how he and the Obmatons plan to placate any opposition. They did it to Senator Clinton more specifically Geraldine Ferraro putting words into her mouth and acting as if they were clairvoyant and able to see what was in her heart. This is lame and the American people will get tired and annoyed if he keeps it up. I hope he does, I hope he keeps getting more arrogant and full of it with each passing week.
He already thinks he’s the President so his own his way.
CHURCHILL-Y
placate> meant quash

I think the Democrats screwed up again and another Republican will be president. Obama has used the race card since the get go, unfortunately it worked, now people are beginning to see he has no plan and no experience. As a life long Democrat I’m saddened.
reversion
If being half-black means playing the “race card” then yes, Obama has played it from the beginning because it’s who he is. Obama doesn’t have to say a word about being black to be accused of using the “race card.” The man is ahead…he has no reason to say “I’m black, so pity me.” It’s obvious shenanigans by the McCain camp.
Moving on….

McSame sent out his Jewish and Gay best friends to try to diffuse the Britney idiocy, Lieberman, and Lindsey Graham.
I predict a MAJOR reshuffeling McSame’s campaign next week, anyone with a hand on this Britney ad will go away, far away…Like Haglee and Phil Graham.
mark
Watch the GOP talking heads start to stick the long knives into McSame’s back and tell him he is running a STUPID LOSING campaign,,,they can’t help armchair quarterbacking…it’s the closest thing to exercise these fat rich pukes ever get.
Watch for Kristol, Fred Barnes, Hannity, and Coulter to start whinning.
crazylove
Yes, I agree by being black Obama is playing the race card. He should walk around with a white hood on his face so no one can know that he’s black, and therefore act like a proper American like Churchhill.
Stenar
I thought Obama said he wasn’t going to mention race? He clearly brought it up there. That’s playing the race card. Face the facts.
mark
Wouldn’t Obama by his very nature have to play the race Card(s).
This is a nothing charge by McSame and won’t get traction, but the Britney-Paris ridiculous commercial will be talked about by comics for a month, and it soiled McSame to being just another generic repig, and that LOSES this year.

JUST FOUND THIS!
1 August 2008
“I am Lawrence Wayne Sinclair, or “Larry”. 46 years old currently residing in Duluth, Minnesota. My purpose is to inform the American Voter that Barack Obama has lied about the extent of his use of illegal drugs, Barack Obama has engaged in gay sex encounters while married and a father, and that Barack Obama’s former gay lover Donald Young was murdered on December 23, 2007 after having had multiple communications with me regarding my and Barack Obama’s encounters in November 1999.”

There are +- 350 Million US Americans, being controlled by 0.2% of dual passport holders, who want to tell 6.8 Billion people on earth what they can or can’t do, what’s right or what’s wrong or how the world should be run!
The US has armed forces in 124 countries as we speak!!! WHY? (That includes my country, Germany, which is an accomplice in the ‘illegal invasion / war’ on Iraq because a lot of US planes fly from here and bomb children and other innocent people in Iraq!’)
The US gave Israel over a 150 NUCLEAR bombs, Israel is not even subject to any controls regarding those A-bombs, and the US have the NERVE and want to FORBID Iran, a sovereign nation, to create nuclear energy! If the US has the right to protect itself from foreign enemies, so has any other nation on earth! If the US has nuclear weapons, so can any other nation on earth have nuclear weapons! MIGHT DOES NOT MAKE RIGHT!
Simple!!!
America has the most brutal, evil and devastating weapons in the world and tortures prisoners at will! They invade countries at will, don’t care about UN resolutions, yet, they put themselves on a pedestal when it comes to human rights in China and elsewhere!
Something has terrible gone wrong in the US of A.
I hope the American people will wake up and will kill the virus that controls them before it will kill them.! The US controllers are psychopaths of the ‘ferocity’ level of a Hitler who destroyed the whole of Germany and saw nothing wrong in having little boys fighting and dying for him.
When things got to hot for him the coward just shot himself!
When things get to hot for these US controller psychopaths they will blow this planet apart and feel nothing doing it! They are CRAZY and DANGEROUS!
