Evidence thread, re: McCain/Palin inciting racism | Thread profile

Advertisements [ ? ] What is the best evidence available that the McCain/Palin campaign is directly inciting racism toward Sen. Obama? McCain's "ACORN" ad strikes me as racist, with its ominous insinuations about urban radicals bullying banks into minority loans (with the further -- and untrue -- implication that similar loans have caused the current ...

trying to incite HATRED against ALL DEMS! The people who display that hatred are most likely also racists, but I'm an old white female Christian Dem who lives in Ga. and believe me, I've heard and felt the hatred of the RW extremists here ever since we moved here in 2000.

They will accuse the left of "playing the race card" in response to their sincere attempts to look at the issues. This is a game. Let's see it for what it is and call it what it is. Don't take the ...
