McCain Derides Obama Racism
Latest Role Reveral From GOP Candidate

Detroit, Michigan
September 20, 2008

By Simeon Rice

Senator John McCain derided Barack Obama for his “long time support for the Ku Klux Klan” in a blistering new attack against his Democratic opponent, in a speech delivered today in Detroit, Michigan. “My friends,” the GOP Presidential nominee said, “people forget that he is half white – and, sadly, his white half is as racist as the day is long.”

Speaking before a largely African American audience in this economically depressed automobile manufacturing hub, McCain condemned Obama’s attendance at several cross burnings during the late 1980s. “We cannot afford to put a cracker like that in the White House,” the Arizona Senator proclaimed, to a largely indifferent crowd of bystanders in the downtown area of the Motor City.

The Obama Campaign angrily denied that he had ever been a member of the Ku Klux Klan – a claim that McCain spokesperson Khaleel Washington dismissed as “outrageous cowardice and pure fiction. Barack is a redneck peckerwood from the waterhead state of Hawaii, and African Americans are waking up that fact.”

Some observers find this accusation bizarre, in view of the fact that Obama is usually described in the media as “African American.” Professor Gus Gillis of Howard University said, “Obama in the Klan? Give me a break – that is totally insane. What’s next, George Bush nationalizing the banking industry? Sorry, but that chihuahua won’t hunt.”

The McCain campaign nevertheless perseveres in making its case that Obama’s white half is both predominant and virulently racist. Undeterred by several news stories debunking the cross burning allegations, the GOP candidate demands that Obama come clean about his racist tendencies and tawdry history of Klan activity. “I call on the Senator to admit the role he has played in helping to keep black Americans down,” the Senator said at the rally in Detroit.

Barack Obama declined to be interviewed for this article.

An amusing read, though a realistic take on how McSame would try and frame the issue nonetheless.
