This latest Obama racism charge against Hillary should be taken as a warning that come the general both barrels of the PC Double Standard shotgun are going to be loaded and ready to blast holes into the Republican contender.
Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary.
The memo, which was obtained by the Huffington Post and has been made public elsewhere, is believed to have been given to an activist and contains mostly excerpts from different media reports. It lists the contact info and name of Obama’s South Carolina press secretary, Amaya Smith, and is broken down into five incidents in which either Clinton, her husband Bill, or campaign surrogates made comments that could be interpreted as racially insensitive.
The document provides an indication that, in private, the Obama campaign is seeking to capitalize on the view - and push the narrative - that the Clintons are using race-related issues for political leverage.
Now here is the thing. The MSM isn’t going all gung-ho on this issue yet because, well, it’s Hillary. Once the two candidates have been decided you can bet your ass that the MSM will be unloading on the white Republican contender if Obama is the Democrat nominee. Anything the Republican says will be answered with RACIST!
But for now we get to eat popcorn and watch as the double standards get strewed around like this typical episode noticed by Allah:
See, for example, this comically anguished semi-apology from Josh Marshall to his readers for even covering the racial angles, urging them to exercise caution in jumping to conclusions about ill intent and command and control. This is the same guy, you’ll recall, whose outfit gleefully accused the GOP of racism last year for running an ad targeting Harold Ford that dared to feature timpani — drums — in the background.
We all remember that episode. The horror! Timpani drums!
Now imagine what will happen in the general.
But if Obama loses and Hillary is the nominee guess what kind of calls we will get? Sexism!
Ace:
So that’s where the Democrats’ fifty years of identity politics have gotten them: If Hillary loses, the party is sexist. If Obama loses, the party is racist.
What a sad and pathetic state the Democrat party is in.
