Had enough racist attacks on Obama? A call to arms.
I saw the blonde bimbo ad. I was raised in Alabama in the 1960s. I'm white. My adopted grandmother (also white) knew Martin Luther King and Coretta and she marched with them in Selma.

We knew then and know now all about code words. This blonde bimbo attack is patently racist. This 'arrogance, presumptuous' talk is nothing more than code for uppity n-----.

How do we respond? Who among the Democrats in Congress has the backbone to call this for what it clearly is?

Will Keith O. state the truth tonight? If not, let's bombard him with emails telling him to get it out there. If you have KO's email address, please post it.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to effectively brand McCain a racist, which is exactly what his campaign has become?

3. sometimes Obama strikes that wonderful confident pose
with his head way up and proud.

I'm sure that must drive the haters absolutely nuts.

4. I wonder where are the Dems in congress, they haven't learned how
to circle the wagon, to dispel these rumors and assaults on the Democratic nominee. Obama need a few hard hitting surrogates out combating this shit. Put Wes Clark back out there hell and stop running scared everytime repubs cry wolf. What Clark said about McCain is no more direspecting than what McCain and his folks are saying about Obama.
