Honestly, I don't think there's anything overtly racist going on. The McCain campaign is attempting to cast Obama as the 'other', certainly. That may cast a net that snares racists, yes, but I don't think that is the intent.

Regardless of the two books Obama has written about his life, regardless of the intense scrutiny he as received, we still see articles about 'Who is Obama?' What this intrinsically implies is that there are questions Obama has yet to answer. I think what it really means is that there is a 'truth' that has been constructed around Obama and unless he 'admits' to it, we will never really know the 'true Obama'.

Brilliant strategy, but I think it's backfiring. Obama as been noting but frank about every single question presented to him about his character, his policies and his associations. I hope McCain follows through with his intent to 'call' Obama on his association with Ayers during the next debate. Obama has only to answer, "Senator, why are you asking me about someone I barely know when the economy is on fire?"

  The only racism I see is in the voters, not the candidates.

    ROFLMAO. If Ayers is a terrorist why hasnt he been arrested by the FBI? It seems if he is unrepentive as you say with all the baseless arrests and detaiinments why is he still running free? Is this another example of the Republicans unable to curtail terrorism?
    
    I find it interesting that once its shown McCain supports Acorn the articles suddenly stop on it being a runaway organization registering corpses.

    "He will change our flag, our national anthem, and the U.S. Contitution..."
    
    That was my favorite part.
    
    Although "...MUSLIM FANATIC..." is a close second.
    
    How can a 'Marxist' be a 'Muslim fanatic'?

    "we will DESTROY AMERICA even if we have to do it from the TOP DOWN".
    
    Um.... in case you haven't noticed, that has pretty much already HAPPENED YOU IDIOT!!! And Obama isn't the man at the TOP!!
    
    Airport "security", unchecked cargo in ports OR in airplane holds, devalued dollar worldwide, American loss of credibility worldwide, American indebtedness worldwide, the stock market, job and housing crisis... do none of these things point out to you that American is already in DESTRUCTION mode without the assistance of Obama? However, McCain has voted with your president over 90% of the time, enabling most of the above and you have the GALL to accuse Obama of unAmerican activities? When Linda Blair helps you twist your head back facing forward, try a reality check.... you are abysmally ignorant and stupid of the facts. No really. REALLY!
