McCain Camp: Obama "Playing the Race Card from the Bottom of the Deck"

Thank you very much for the great information.

Thanks

"Bottom of the deck" refers to how Slaves were stacked in the bottom of the deck while being shipped to Europe and America.
It did not originae from O.J Simpson's case. It is the lowest level of racial taunts

Just words!? Don’t tell me words don’t matter!

"Senator Obama has played the race card consistently to create a distraction each time he has been confronted with issues of his poor judgment and lack of integrity throughout the campaign. It is refreshing to see Senator McCain confront him on this deplorable, tactical use of race to manipulate voters."

And Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are shining examples of integrity? For the last two weeks, McCain has been churning out inaccurate, sometimes blatantly false ads about Obama in order to make Obama look bad before the press. By your logic, does this mean McCain is also trying to cover up errors in judgment, embarrassing gaffes, and a complete lack of an agenda?

Randi Sobel -- It helps to get your facts right before you sneer. Even McCain's own web site now acknowledges that there was never any plan for a "photo op" with the wounded soldiers in Germany. The whole 'scandal' was based on absolute falsehoods -- it was easy enough for the press to find out what happened once they started looking. I'm sure it would have been just as easy for McCain's campaign to find out before producing a TV ad based on lies.

John McCain should be reminded that Americans are already disappointed on him and his campaign.

Within a week they have accused Obama of all sorts of things including, treason sabotage.

John McCain even plays politics with injured troops even though he himself is an American Hero.

Shame on you McCain, Americans are yearning for the McCain of 2000.

" Because the idea he could be the first black president is unimportant and somehow out of bounds."

Or maybe the fact of his blackness is not a credential for being President one way or another?

We're voting for an executive, not a symbol. If we wanted a symbol, we'd vote for the Statue of Liberty (French woman) or Mount Rushmore (a bunch of stoners).

This is exactly where the DNC went wrong. They aren't trying to run a Presidential race. They are trying to convince the world and themselves that we've reformed our 'bad old ways'. And that is why Obama is falling in the polls. We don't accept the guilt and we don't think those trying to guilt us should lead us. You wear the hair shirt if you like the pain.

Haven't you ever figured out why Reagan was so successful against Carter?

Yes. Because the idea he could be the first black president is unimportant and somehow out of bounds. Give me a break. Obama, be loud and proud!

No wonder our schools are in such a mess. We sound as if we can't stand an intelligent president, and that too many of us are actually children who were "left behind" decades ago and want to go back from the 21st century to something that was never the "good old days" for the MAJORITY of our citizens. These really are tough times for us.

The stench of desperation from the Obama campaign is becoming overwhelming and now he brings out the race card. He thought his big political and PR trip overseas would automatically put him 20 points ahead. Instead, he has lost points.
I would like to see a real debate between both candidates since both have changed positions on many issues. But Obama is a coward when it comes to debating. No prewritten script and teleprompter are allowed and voters see him as not very well informed.

I feel like they're both playing the race card. Obama's comment about how he doesn't look like other presidents definitely felt like it was about race.

earth to Andrew...Hillary could have said the same thing...then would it have been about race?

Obama is playing the reality card and republicans and reality, they don't seem to mix!

of course this is obama's underhanded way to play the race card. did anyone really expect less of him?

As a Democrat voting for McCain I can tell you that I will never vote for Obama because I believe that a person should be qualified for the job that they do. Obama has gotten where he is today because of corruption and over exposer from the press.

I can deal with McCain for 4 years but Obama and all of his corrupt friends in the White House for 8 years, frightens me.

Come on America raise the bar don't lower it.

But that still does not explain why Obama dissed American wounded soliders becuase he could not get the PHOTO OP he wanted. Obama is so vain and the ad hits right on the MARK in its subliminal messaging comparing Obama to VAIN Movie Stars

I had it with Obama and am finally changing my voters registration to Republican

Go McCain 2008

I feel like they're both playing the race card. Obama's comment about how he doesn't look like other presidents definitely felt like it was about race. I don't see how anyone could mistake it for being about lack of experience. Also, I've never heard John McCain or any republicans say anything about how Obama doesn't look like other presidents, nor have I heard them make fun of his name. Now both campaigns are playing the card and each is hoping to play it better than the other.

I've always been suspicious of the so-called "democrats for McCain".

I mean, what precisely is McCain going to do for you, as a democrat?

He will appoint more Jurists to the Supreme Court and the Federal Courts in the vein of Alito and Scalia. As a democrat, are you looking forward to the overthrow of Roe V. Wade and the jettisoning of equal pay for equal work?

McCain's foreign policy approach has been similar to Bush's. Do you like the Bush approach to foreign policy? McCain's beef isn't that we invaded Iraq, it's that we didn't put enough forces in. Moreover, he seems fairly ready to pull the trigger on Iran as well. As much as McCain says he hates wars, he doesn't seem so apprehensive about starting them.

As a democrat voting for McCain, do you support the Bush tax cuts? And do you think more of the same regarding fiscal policy is the right approach. Are you happy with a status quo on health care?

Otherwise, go right ahead and vote McCain.

The gall of the McCain campaign for accusing Obama of playing the race card! It is transparent that the McCain campaign is practicing offense as its best defense. The truth of Obama's statements that the McCain/GOP/FOX attacks are aimed toward scaring people are as clear as day. Shame on McCain and the rest of the true racists in this dishonorable and despicable game.

I will never vote for Obama the arrogant!
