"Community Organizer" code word for "black"?

Now Obama is saying that "enough is enough" and accusing the Republicans of "phony outrage" over him calling Palin a pig.  He's also trying to paint it as "swift boat politics."

 

The Obama camp is trying to hunt the slightest bit of dirt they might be able to find on Sarah Palin.  Lawyers are creeping all around Anchorage looking for something on her.

 

With Republicans (rightly) criticizing "community organizers" you knew it wouldn't be long until that was translated as being racist.  The award for doing it first goes to New York Governor David Paterson, who calls "community organizer" a code word for "black."

 

Take another state out of play:  after the Obama campaign pulled out of Georgia, McCain has now opened up a 20-point lead in North Carolina (where the Georgia operatives were sent).  So much for that 50-state (or was it 57-state?) strategy.

 

Here's hope for the future:  Only 60% of voters think that the Supreme Court should base its rulings on the Constitution.

 

Clarence Thomas says that the Constitution forbids racial preferences.  But that's not fair.

 

Congressman Charlie Rangel didn't pay his taxes.  Republicans demanded that he step down as House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, but he won't.  This only matters because Ways and Means is the committee responsible for making tax bills.

 

Finally a bunch of environmentalists stopped living in trees.  They were protesting the trees being cut down for the University of California-Berkeley to expand their sports complex.

 

The New York Times is having financial troubles, so they cut union jobs in favor of non-union ones.

 

The oil extortionists in the OPEC cartel have decided to cut oil production after all.

 

FEMA is withholding some "disaster" funds from Macon because the city doesn't have a good track record of keeping tabs on the money it gets from the feds.

 

Lance Armstrong plans to return to the Tour de France (and the Tour de Georgia) next year.

 

Swedish prostitutes want to pay taxes.  I know how they can do that (the FairTax).
