Distorting the facts about Barack Obama

In the last three months or so , Fox News has strongly suggested that Barack Obama was an angry black man. We kept on seeing the video clips of Reverend Wright at the pulpit. We kept on hearing about Barack Obama's "associations." We kept on seeing the distorting visual images as Barack Obama appeared on screen. Until this point, though, we hadn't heard a conservative (at least not that I've heard) come out and flatly say, Barrack Obama is an angry black man.

I think painting Obama as the "angry black male" is the right-wing version of the so-called "race card".Remember, we got eight years of Boy George Bush thanks to the fear factor. They are hoping to make it work again.

Matt Drudge on his blog put a picture up of Michelle Obama kissing Joe Biden, and Barack kissing Jill Biden. What's the message there? They want you to fear interracial relations. They are playing on that century old notion that blacks shouldn't be with whites.
