The pundits are twittering about whether or not Obama is a racist, the antichrist, the other, not one of us ad nauseaum. 'We are going down! It's going to be a disaster!' say the petrified Democrats as they wait for the racist backlash.
Rumors abound of newly flexed muscles from the Republicans who having grown weary of grappling with a tired, old, boring candidate and have turned to race-baiting. They are quietly measuring drapes and hi-fiving because they believe this is the trump card which will put McCain over the top. They have decided to hijack the news cycle and election agenda with over the top comparisons between Barack and celebrities, claims of Obama's messianic ideations and racism against whites. NOT THIS TIME.
Folks we have two choices. We can sit here and whine about the big, bad Republicans with their magic swiftboating bag of tricks and let them take back the White House or we can stand up, rally the millions of voters who support Obama, get on the air and shout down these skunks.
This is our election and we will not stand by and let racists and 'religious zealots' take over the airwaves with ridiculous charges to distort Obama's image and create a caricature of him.
During the primaries Obamanation took control and beat back ugly campaigning from the Clintons and won. We need to step up and go into overdrive. Voters consume news. This is not just about Obama. It's about us - the folks who sit in front of the television and turn radio dials. We must insist that the punditocracy get back to the issues that matter. They enjoy veering off into the trivial and the stupid because its titillating and the media is also run amok with racists. But this must be a different election with a real agenda. We need to mobilize and storm every town and city in America and take back our democracy.
