Slublog's Racist Attack on Obama
— Ace

How is that racist, you ask? Well, first of all, everything bad you say about Obama is racist. But specifically, Joshua Jay Jeremiah Micah Ezekiah Boutros-Boutros Valderaama Marshall says all this "presumptuous, arrogant elitist narcissist" business is just racial code words for "uppity colored:"

I note with interest today, John McCain's new tactic of associating Barack Obama with oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women. (See today's new ad and this from yesterday.) Presumably, a la Harold Ford 2006, this will be one of those strategies that will be a matter of deep dispute during the campaign and later treated as transparent and obvious once the campaign is concluded.
But what I'm most interested in today is the new meme the McCain campaign has been pushing for the last few weeks that Obama is presumptuous, arrogant and well ... just a bit uppity.
...
So please keep an eye out for references to Obama's presumptuousness, arrogance, etc., from John King and other reporters. Let us know when you see them and send us in examples -- in text or video. McCain gets to run the campaign he wants. Remember, he hired the operative who put together the Ford/Bimbo ad. But I want to keep tabs on which reporters are helping him retail the message.

These guys are so horny for someone to call Obama a shiftless darkie they're thisclose to saying it themselves.

Thanks to CJ for the Hugh Hewitt tip and of course Slublog for the shop.

Slublog, you just made Josh Marshall's list, buddy.

More: This is how Obama plays the race card, mostly: through surrogates, so he can maintain his pose as "post-racial:"

In the primary, Obama's campaign, with the partial exception of South Carolina, never overtly drove the cries of racism. Part of the candidate's selling point to the white majority is that he isn't a bearer of racial grievance, and he is very careful to preserve that impression. Meanwhile, his surrogates and the media pursued the stories, doing real damage to Clinton's campaign and her husband's legacy.

And among Obama's surrogates are the netroots-- Talking Points Memo in particular:

Around midnight on July 16, New York Times chief political correspondent Adam Nagourney received a terse e-mail from Barack Obama's press office. The campaign was irked by the Times' latest poll and Nagourney and Megan Thee's accompanying front-page piece titled "Poll Finds Obama Isn't Closing Divide on Race," which was running in the morning's paper. Nagourney answered the query, the substance of which he says was minor, and went to bed, thinking the matter resolved.
But, the next morning, Nagourney awoke to an e-mail from Talking Points Memo writer Greg Sargent asking him to comment on an eight-point rebuttal trashing his piece that the Obama campaign had released to reporters and bloggers like The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder and Politico's Ben Smith. Nagourney had not heard the complaints from the Obama camp and had no idea they were so steamed. "I'm looking at this thing, and I'm like, 'What the hell is this?' " Nagourney recently recalled. "I really flipped out."

Obama's attempts to mau-mau (am I allowed to say that?) the press may or may not be successful; but some reporters aren't buying the Obama camp's preferred practice of crying racism at the drop of a hat.

But it definitely won't work with the broader public. So Obama's game here is a dangerous one for him. White people bitterly cling to their resentment that they can't say boo without being accused of being closet, or out and proud, racists. If Obama thinks he's actually going to persuade the middle by claiming that you don't vote for him, you must be a racist, he's in a for a bad surprise.

This worked in the primary, because all liberals are required to pretend that every single cry of racism is valid. Not so among the bitter, clingy folks.

4 If calling him a pompous ass is racist, what do you call him when he actually IS a pompous ass? Can it somehow be both true, and racist? Because, if it's true, it can't be racist.

Exactly right. Which is even more pathetic than the nutjobbers who fake hate crimes against themselves. They want to fake a hate crime against someone else to make themselves more sympathetic. It must be hard to be a lefty.

8 Dammit, I thought O'bama was an Irishman all this time, so it was okay for me to hate on him (me being Irish, y'know).

Seriously though, I'd feel no different about this fellow no matter what his color. If I'd somehow managed to never see him or hear any reference to him being black (likely an impossibility, but bear with me), I'd still think he was arrogant, deeply unqualified, and an instinctive socialist. So basically I'd think he was John Edwards.

Where's that Obama/Paul Atreides p-shop I was promised? You know, the one the prophesy spoke of? The one who could fold time and space? The one who could transmute the Water of Life?

It's practically a fucking given p-shop at this point.

Give it another couple weeks- Obama's supporters will show up in blackface, wearing white hoods and burning crosses... but only to show how racist those evil Republicans are.

Posted by: Hollowpoint at July 31, 2008 12:11 PM (plsiE)

Change is coming!!!!! President Barack will win by the biggest margin EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been having the best dream where I am Barack's #1 operative! Im sure a device can be put into people that will detect any rascist thought. Then it can be like The Running Man (great flick even though a *spit* Republican is in it) when Richard Dawson says to his operative - "Have him killed!" Barack has these devices put into potential rascists heads and when they do rascism, I and my operative team eliminate them on the spot!

Theres no room for facist rascists in an inlightined society

Hey, a girls gotta keep busy when the Politburo is out of session!

Bonuses will be payed to those eliminating the most rascists! Dont you Repukes live for "incentive"?

Im back stronger than ever! I was layed up for awhile with horrible sunburn. I was out 15-20 hours each day screaming at Grampy McSame when he and the rest of ZOG was at the Bush compound a couple weeks ago and got really, really burned. Oh but Global Warming is a myth right? *spit*

And this guy can't crack 50 against a 72-year-old with credibility issues with his own party...

And this "racist" crap is the best they've got? This is how they close the gap with independents and rural voters (where among the latter the Hillster was torching him in some places to the tune of 90-10)...THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE?

But it definitely won't work with the broader public.

yes it will, unfortunately

Posted by: Terry at July 31, 2008 12:35 PM (+7Usq)

"This worked in the primary"

Actually, it didn't. The only time it really worked was when Bill Clinton WAS trying to paint Obama as the "black candidate" (comparing him to Jesse Jackson after South Carolina -- "those people tend to win that primary....").

Once the Obama folks started getting all shrill about nonsense ("fairy tale" is a racist codeword????), he started cratering (Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania....) He just barely had the gas to get past the finish line.

So, now the tack with the general voting public is to try to test your bravery. You're not voting for Obama? What, McCain got you scared? Ya pansy. Grow some stones. Vote for Barack. Prove you're not afraid of some guy with a funny name that doesn't look like Abe Lincoln (although, with a beard.... I mean, he's got the tall, skinny, and ears things down pretty good.)
