Politico Drops Race Card on Donald Trump

And so it finally happened. Obviously troubled by the fact that Donald Trump’s questions surrounding Barack Obama’s birth certificate are starting to gain some real traction, Ben Smith at the left-wing Politico finally panicked and fired off the Race Card. Hilariously, Smith did so using my favorite brand of agendized journOlism, what I call the “Some Say” tactic. How it works is very simple. In order for Smith to hide behind his dishonest and arrogant veil of objectivity, he simply finds others saying what he wants to say and abuses his position to amplify the charges directly into the narrative. Today, his chosen ”Some Sayers” are those in the Black community accusing Trump of racism.

How so very convenient.

A few weeks ago, Trump came along and asked simply, “Why doesn’t Obama clear this up once and for all and release his long form birth certificate?” Naturally, Obama’s MSM Palace Guards immediately became obsessed with Trump (Trumpers?) and tried to marginalize the billionaire as one of those “crazy birthers.” But the problem for them (and Obama) is that Americans already know Trump. They know he’s no fringe extremist and so a lot of reasonable voters are now starting to ask, “Yeah, why won’t he release it?”

Step 2 in the JournOlism handbook will be for this to go viral and penetrate the MSM, and it already has. Furthermore, the timing here isn’t at all accidental. Recent polls show the Black community souring a bit on Obama, gas prices continue to threaten to turn him into Carter 2, Libya is looking like the last reel of a Keystone Kops programmer, and Their Precious One is currently polling below 50% in hypothetical matchups with every potential GOP challenger. The MSM hope here (if I may use that word) is that screaming racism will suck all the air away from Obama and his growing pile of failures — and, of course, cynically bring the Black vote back in line.

SOS....different day.

Without vision to america you wouldn't know what to post every day

ahhh...the spin queen in action...anyone questions oabam's BC and they are called a racist..how heart warming..

Unless....and until.....they questions everyone who runs for president and has a perfectly legal short form birth certificate, the motives of those going after Obama to produce what is not required by law will be questioned.

Trump is no racist...amazing why the left would call this guy a racist, is it because he has a TV show?

What will the left say when Col. Allen West is the r's candidate for president.

Has there ever been any other president who's place of birth was in any way in question?

I don't see where this is race based. Some circumstances were questioned. Family members misspoke. Proof would have been easy. Instead, a wall was put up. Obama's handlers must have known that would only throw gas on the fire.

Pulling out the "Race Card" is standard procedure anytime you want to attack a Republican when you don't have the facts on your side.

Personally I believe Barack was born in Hawaii but there is something on that document he is embarrased about. Maybe Barack Sr. isn't listed as his birth father?

And some birth certificates list religion, maybe his says Islam?

we've debated the birth certificate issue to death here....I have no desire to go any further with it as it is obvious no one will change their mind no matter what is presented by the other side. I'm willing to leave it at that.....I agree to disagree, and I'm done with it.

as to this comment

I did not call Trump a racist. an idiot maybe, but not a racist.

uh....who is oabam? and what is he doing in your post?

I cannot wait to see what visiontoamerica comes up with next.....you can be sure that Outdoor will bring it to us immediately.

And we can bet that you will be the first one to reply with another B.S. reply, but no rebuttal.
