WHO'S Playing the "Race Card"?

We cats find the McCain campaign's recent pretend-outrage strategy ridiculous and desperate. And wildly dishonest.

Here's just one example of why: Watch this video of a McCain supporter — a very bad speaker from a group called "Vets for Freedom" — introducing the presumptive Republican nominee at an event on April 8, 2008.



Gosh, somehow we think this guy was talking about — drum roll — persons of color! (In other words, "Vote for the white guy, because my two sons couldn't possibly look up to a black, or even half-black, man.")

But where were the media on this — except for Keith Olbermann, of course? We don't recall any kind of flurry comparable to what's going on with the talking heads today. Ohhhhhh, wait a minute, let's think.... April 8. Gee, nobody was paying much attention to Senator McCain back then because the Democratic primaries were still going full force.

The Republicans are running a scurrilous campaign, because — as Jon Stewart would say — they got nuthin'. We HISS and swipe our claws at them in disgust.
