Obama Plays Race Card, Calls on Churches to Support Campaign

[Obama Plays Race Card, Calls on Churches to Support Campaign by Paul Joseph Watson "Imagine if Ron Paul announced a national campaign called ‘Whites for Ron Paul’ – he’d be vilified as a racist. And yet Barack Obama has done the equivalent of precisely that with his launch of ‘African Americans for Obama’.

The program urges black Americans to volunteer their time by making calls, organizing events and going door to door in their neighborhoods encouraging other African Americans to vote for Obama.

Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state.

“I thought race didn’t matter Mr. President?” asks Chad Hasty. “I don’t think MLK would be too pleased with you at all. African-Americans for Obama? Give me a break. Under this President, more blacks are unemployed. More blacks are on food stamps. If I had to bet though, Obama will still pull 93% of the black vote. Again, just a wild guess...” Full text: Obama Plays Race Card, Calls on Churches to Support Campaign

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[T]he fact is that he's a good father, a good husband, and a good man..."

Do good men call their grandchildren a "mistake"?

I'd stay far away from grandpa.

Response to comment [from an agnostic]: "Ah yes, prison planet. How credible..."

When he says "African American" is he referring to the many white African Americans, too?
