Right-winger declares that Obama is really a Muslim

[Rob]

Same old shit from the usual suspects. These people would never vote for any Democrat. And I hate to oversimplify, but most racists in general already vote Republican.

In any case, any Islamophobic/racist/dumb voting will be overwhelmed by a high turnout among African-Americans. Not to mention the potential of this sly race-baiting to backfire, as this kind of garbage should outrage decent Americans.

[Rob]

He very well could be. From what I've seen, I'm impressed. Even if he is a democrat, and gasp...a populist leaner.

But he's socially liberal!

[Rob]

Well, you have two years to rethink your priorities.

Democrats started the KKK

This is relevant because nothing has changed since 1867. The parties maintain the same positions and bases of support. Well played, sir.

Democrats are always trying to point out that people are of diferent races so they can get better education (affirmative action)

People of different races getting educated? Can't have that, can we?

mel Gibson is a Democrat

Strom Thurmond. Trent Lott. Jesse Helms. All of them former Dixiecrats who left the party when it spat on their racist views. Now they're proud Republicans (or were, in the case of the mummy from South Carolina)!

democrats set the minimum wage high so hispanics aren't encouraged to get better jobs than cleaners

Yes, that is the intention behind raising the minimum wage- to screw over brown people.

democrats are always supporting giving money to thir-world African countries, causing unemployment in Africa

What?

now, who is the real racist here?

You, most likely.

[Rob]

All the more reason to nominate Obama, the foaming at the mouth racist right-wingers will be out in force saying stupid sh**t.

True; this kind of smear could really backfire.

[Rob]

It could, but only if middle america in the swing states sees it for the bullsh**t it is...otherwise those blue states are just going to get bluer, and not much else.

To be honest, the GOP may profit from some subtle race-baiting (merely using his full name in press releases may be enough); but anything too over-the-top will be risky for them.
