Rove Teaches McCain How To Be A Racist

From what I understand, it has been confirmed that the evil political master himself, Karl Rove, is working directly with the McCain campaign. It has been known for some time that several of Rove's minions are employed by the McCain campaign. It turns out the evil is undiluted, however, and the man who made President Bush is looking to make a president out of McCain as well.

And millions of Americans are falling for the man's methods again. The most recent tactic is the McCain campaign lying about Obama supporting the teaching of sex education to kindergartners. Obama has called out the lie, terming it "perverse." Of course it is, but the Rovians are not concerned with the veracity of their accusations or, for that matter, whether they are proven wrong. They are working, and polls indicate effectively, to drag the political debate down to its most base impulses by aggressively playing the race card against Obama.

McCain's campaign is seeking to stir the racist feelings in millions of Americans by portraying Obama as being a sexual deviant. This is classic Americana racism that the White dominant culture has used for HUNDREDS of years to dis-empower Black men in the most humiliating manner. And though most Americans would never, never admit they take this kind of erroneous attack seriously, behind the voting curtain, the success of McCain's campaign techniques may become evident.

I implore Americans to see what this is, the manipulations of men (and now a woman) to do whatever it takes to achieve power for their own enjoyment and benefit.

It has been well established by the extensive media investigations into his past that Obama is a man of integrity, extraordinary intelligence, and calm determination. His policies are utterly competent and highly responsive to the immediate economic, political, and medical realities present in our country. Further, he has given millions of us hope in our political system and in our fellow citizens. He has reminded us all that we are active members of this establishment, and we can choose to work towards a healthy, happy country where power and wealth are not allowed to consolidate into a few hands without being deeply challenged by the people.

How many new blogs have been born of the enthusiastic fire ignited out of the Obama campaign? How many millions of citizens have been activated since he started this journey? I was there in St. Paul with my five year old son when Obama earned the requisite number of delegates to secure the nomination. There were tens of thousands of people there to see him, most of them having to stand outside the coliseum because it filled up completely. My son and I saw first hand the power of positive campaigning and the inspiring effect a good and intelligent person can have on people. We were there for him because he reminded us we need to be there for ourselves and each other.

We have two clear choices in candidates. We can choose to pick the man and woman who will literally say or do anything to achieve power for their own glory. Or we can choose Obama and Biden, inspired public servants who have made more good calls than bad. We can choose between a campaign that offers cleverly dressed up racial slurs and seeks to bring out the worst in the citizenry in order to keep power and wealth in the same hands. Or we can choose a campaign that offers competent public and international policy that may not solve every problem, but begins again a respectful and earnest attempt to turn things around.

My choice is perfectly clear. I hope the voting majority of us follow what is in the highest good this time.
