In dis-honor of the Obama Campaign adding Gov. Palin’s direct shot across his freakin’ bow yesterday … Here’s the “Check List” to date by which you must measure yourself.

And let’s add the recent logic of democrats telling democrat voters that IF they don’t vote for Hussein in November it’s ONLY because he’s BLACK … and that makes you … A RACIST!

It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a white man — who happens to be a terrorist.

It’s racist to point out the similarity between Barack Obama and two white women — who are famous for being celebrities.

It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a black man — who happens to have run Fannie Mae.

It’s racist to point out the connection between Barack Obama and a black woman — who happens to be his wife, and who said she wasn’t really proud of America until her husband was nominated.

I’m sick of the race card being played whenever someone criticizes Barack Obama. Making the Ayers connection is hardly a racist ploy, but that’s what we’re being told by the AP today.

There is literally no argument you can make against this man that will not be countered by cries of racism.

Are you listening, McCain advisors?

I’m told that McCain advisors are reluctant to argue Democratic responsibility for the mortgage crisis, because they might be accused of being racists.

Wake up, McCain advisors. You are already getting accused of racism for making other perfectly legitimate points. Why on God’s green Earth would you hold back on one of the best arguments you can make because someone might play the race card?

Do you people even want to win?

That’s a serious question.

UPDATE: It is apparently also racist, or at least xenophobic, to raise any question about possible illegal foreign contributions to Obama. So says Marc Ambinder.

25 Reasons You May be a Racist

Peter Kirsanow – National Review – Tuesday, August 05, 2008

The tendency of Obama supporters to see racist impulses behind every criticism of their candidate has evolved into absurdity. Now even the first black president feels compelled to declare he’s not a racist. By this measure, nearly every American is at risk of being branded a racist at some point in the campaign. To assess whether you’re at risk just consult the list below ( apologies to Jeff Foxworthy ):

1.If you think Obama’s the most liberal member of the senate you…may be a racist.

2.If you object to Obama raising your payroll, capital gains and estate taxes you…may be a racist.

3.If you’d prefer a president have at least some foreign policy experience you…may be a racist.

4. If you’re in favor of drilling for oil and building nuclear power plants you…may be a racist.

5. If you think “Vero Possemus” is Latin for “Massive Ego” you… may be a racist.

6. If you wonder why Obama was hanging around William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn you…may be a racist.

7. If your pastor is nothing like Rev. Wright or Father Pfleger you… may be a racist.

8.If you don’t want the majority of justices on the Supreme Court to be like Stephen Breyer you…may be a racist.

9. If you’re not impressed with Obama’s 100% NARAL rating you…may be a racist.

10. If you’re not sure whether Obama opposed or supported FISA reauthorization you…may be a racist.

11. If you don’t think America is a “downright mean” country you…may be a racist.

12. If you think Obama should’ve visited wounded troops at Ramstein and Landstuhl you…may be a racist.

13. If you think the surge is working and that’s a good thing you…may be a racist.

14. If you oppose racial preferences in employment, school admissions and contracting you…may be a racist.

15. If you think “we are the change we’ve been waiting for” is a line from a Monty Python skit you…may be a racist.

16. If you prefer that a president have a smidgen of executive experience you…may be a racist.

17. If you’re appalled that Obama voted against treating infants born after an abortion attempt the same medically as other infants born alive you…may be a racist.

18. If you were proud of your country even before Obama’s candidacy you…may be a racist.

20. If you don’t think American troops are just “air raiding villages” you…may be a racist.

21. If your grandmother isn’t a “typical white person” you…may be a racist.

22. If you don’t think rural, working class people are bitter and “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” you…may be a racist.

23. If you’re not sure invading Pakistan is a particularly good idea—what with their nuclear weapons and all— you…may be a racist.

24. If you don’t want the president to meet without precondition with the leaders of state sponsors of terror you…may be a racist.

25. If you don’t care how Hollywood or the European elite think you should vote you…may be a racist.

This campaign has, to paraphrase Moynihan, defined racism down.
