The Race Card And The Ballot Box

(With a hat-tip to Mustang, who emailed me the link below)

According to Governor Paterson of New York:

...Mr. Paterson, who was a Clinton super-delegate and often joined her on the campaign trail, said the outcome of the November election would decide whether America moves beyond its legacy of slavery and segregation.

"Can America reject the crucible of race that has dictated and pervaded all of our history to embrace an African-American man who has the right polices for the next decade in this country?" he said.

He continued: "Can America go past the crippling way that we've shot ourselves in the foot over and over, denying opportunity to people who are bright, to people who are qualified, to people who are able because they didn't look like us, or they didn't come from where we came from, or they are from a different gender, or they are from the African continent? Can America push that away and find new leadership? We'll find out in the next few months what America can do."...

The title of the article mentions "Accidental Racism."

I guess that Governor Paterson will label those who don't vote for Obama as racists, no matter what we say about Obama's associations with unsavory characters and his socialistic platform.

When all else fails, play the race card. Is that what we're coming to in the 2008 National Election?
