"GOP strategist Rich Galen also said Tuesday that Obama did the right thing in denouncing the statements. Galen said he would urge Obama to "get on the phone with, of all people, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, to say ... let's let this thing blow over."

Campaigns play up the other side's mistakes all the time. I can think of Sen. Allen and his macaca statement, when Richard Petty bumped a car out on 40 when he was running for Sec. of State...sometimes the best thing you can do is to sit back and allow your opponent to win the race for you.

That his pastor and close confidant of over 20 years is an anti-American rambling nutcase.

It's the church he picked to go to. Or are you insinuating that the black church in general is as batshit crazy as Rev. Wright?

besides you're deviating from the original point of the thread, that the GOP is going to connect Obama with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to stir up racist sentiments

they know white people don't trust AL and Jesse, that's why they've been keeping such a low profile lately

but the GOP is going to try as hard as they care to make Obama = Al and Jesse

just watch

Likewise, the Dems will play the victimization line as hard as they fucking can.

That's a dangerous game as well.

Both strategies will ultimately backfire with a lot of independents and moderates. I honestly think the side that loses the general election will be the one that overplays their hand.

I don't think the Democrats are going to do any such thing

they want race to be a non-issue

I have read numerous editorials lately about the "racist media" and the "racist attacks on Wright / Obama".

This thread is a good example as well, considering that it's pretty clear that you are misinterpreting Galen's comments to paint the GOP as race baiters.

Obama should go to church, of course. He should do a better job of picking the church he attends, and one that isn't ran by a raving attention whore of a lunatic.

As for connecting Obama with Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, I think you're reading too much into that. This guy is saying that they are more mainstream, perhaps, and he should use their prowess to distance himself from his pastor.

You're crying wolf in order to use race to your advantage, not the other way around.

And it will backfire among a lot of independents.

Likewise, the Dems will play the "racism" card in response to any criticism of Obama on race issues. If they overdo it (and they usually do), it will turn off a lot of independents who are tired of hearing the victimization mentality of the left.

You are misreading the statement by Galen. He is saying that Obama should encourage black leaders not to throw fuel on the fire of this Rev Wright media mess.

It is actually very good advice.

exactly.

Now go back and re-read the quote. He's saying that the best thing Obama could do would be to make sure that Jesse and Al don't jump into the fray.

Quote :
"the GOP is going to try to attach then to Obama"


This is true. But it hasn't happened yet.

BTTT this thread when you have a legit example.

I don't care what the quote says, this thread has nothing to do with it nor does it have anything to do with Reverend whoever.

...

this was said by a GOP strategist

this is a legitimate example

they're probably not going to be overt about it
