really, really not the onion, i swear.
from the dimmest of wits......
"Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card," Palin wrote on her Facebook page on Monday, the national holiday marking the civil rights icon's birthday.
She included King's quote "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character in her post. Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, did not specify on Facebook how Obama is "playing the race card."

(15,882 posts)Buncha likkered-up confederate-flag-waving good-ol-boys-and-girls as the front for a very smart (others would do well to study it, with or without money, just to learn from their organizing success) well-greased machine being run with corporate money, one which is capturing political offices around the country. these officials then make it easier for the few to take opportunity away from the people and stick it in their pockets.
The people SP was talking to have not a clue what they are shilling for, (Sarah does, I'm sure, and her intention is to play on whatever her fading blossom will bring her), but it doesn't make them any less determined or less dangerous an enemy.

(115,681 posts)Not that she understands much of anything - but I think in the creaky machinery of her tiny brain, "playing the race card" means mentioning the fact that racial discrimination exists and that it's bad. But you must never say that because then somebody might want to do something about it, which is exactly what GOPers and teabaggers don't want.

(22,336 posts)That means "mentioning race or racim." That's all it means. They don't think anyone should ever point out race or racism.

(145,152 posts)She wants President Barack Obama to quit playing the race card. And she says that on Dr. Martin Luther Kings birthday.
I suspect she feels that President Obama plays the race card when he shows up.
Maybe she should stop playing the stupid card.
