Shame on McCain and Palin?

From Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist:

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black


Quote:
The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality.
...
McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare.

Shame on McCain and Palin.

Are you freakin' kidding me?
 
Shame on the Kansas City Star for hiring a moron to its editorial board.

Lessee now: We can't say black, African-American, racist, socialist, Hussein, skinny, community organizer, or inexperienced when we talk about Obama. We can't talk about his long-time associations with Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Tony Rezko, and ACORN or we are racists. We can't say anything about his wife's "For the first time, I'm proud..." or other comments even though she's on the trail acting as a surrogate. What does that leave?

Oh, yeah! His legislative record. But we can't talk about his support of infanticide or NARAL. We can't talk about his "spread the wealth around" policy, or his income tax cuts for 95% (even though 40% don't pay income taxes.) We can't talk about his cut-and-run policy in Iraq or his lack of a policy to defeat Islamic terrorism. And we certainly can not mention this inconvenient truth, reported in The Wall Street Journal:
(W)ho knew that Senator Barack Obama was the largest single recipient of Fannie Mae campaign contributions over the last 20 years, save for Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd? More amazing still, Mr. Obama pulled off this feat even though he had only been in the Senate for four of those 20 years.
(Of course, he didn't report for Senate duty until January 2005, so it has been LESS THAN four years.)
 
If we can't talk about any of this during the campaign, can you imagine what it will be like for the next four years if this nobody becomes President? Every time we disagree with one of his moronic policies, we are going to be called racists or rednecks.

Sheesh!

It's gonna be a lo-o-o-o-ng four years... But he hasn't won yet!
