Hypocrisy, thy name is John McCain. McCain smears Obama for using the "race card" because Obama called out a dirty trick McCain launched a month ago.
Obama's comment:
They're going to try to say that I'm a risky guy, they're going to try to say, 'Well, you know, he's got a funny name and he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills and, and they're going to send out nasty emails.
Well, Obama didn't make that comment until weeks after McCain ran this ad, which morphs Obama's face onto a $100 bill, Mount Rushmore and other national symbols.
Huffpost:
Is the media buying McCain's story that Obama played the race card, using his description of McCain doing things analogous to putting his face on a dollar bill? Of course, most everyone has taken it as an analogy and McCain, as well as some of the media, have been looking to crucify Obama for it. The thing is, McCain actually DID put obama's face on a dollar bill -- over a month ago in a little-seen web video. The point is, Obama's analogy -- whether he realized it or not, and maybe he heard about the video and only recalled it subconsciously -- isn't even an analogy, it's true!

Sorry for the quick diary, but I am so outraged by double standard and the media's, with the exception of a few, complicity in the smear campaign. We cannot stand idle and let the GOP win because of Rovian lies, smears and distortions to scare voters, AGAIN!
Remember John Kerry and get out the vote!
