In 2008, the Obama campaign got extraordinary mileage out of playing the race card. Hillary and Bill were racists; Sarah Palin was a racist; in fact anyone who criticized Obama was a racist. It worked; Obama avoided being fully vetted and he won the election. After Obama took office, the use of race as a defense continued. Who can forget all the attacks on the Tea Party as racist. These folks were racist in the eyes of the Democrats simply because they opposed Obama's policies. The media played up this theme as well. But something important happened. The American people got to see the Tea Party rallies. They got to hear the arguments of the Tea Party. They got to realize that while the Tea Party disagreed with Obama, they were surely not racists.
Well now Obama's forces are at it again. Today's target is Mitt Romney. the Democrats are claiming to be shocked that Romney used racist images that harkened back to Reverend Wright in a new TV ad running in various markets. So what are these racist images, you may ask? The first one is a well dressed African American woman walking down the hall. The second is a church congregation that African American. Oh the horror! Oh the shame!
Have the Obamacrats lost their minds? Is it now to be racist to show African Americans in commercials? A well dressed woman is racist? How? A black congregation is racist? How?
The truth is that it is a good thing for the Obamacrats to start throwing these charges at Romney now. The current charges are so ridiculous that people will clearly see them for what they are: a desperate attempt to hurt Romney with baseless charges. Obama and the Obamacrats are well past the "boy who cried wolf" status. They have become jokes on this point.
