Playing the race card
Saturday, August 02, 2008 by Dave Winer.
Obama plays the race card when he takes the stage. Look at his face. He's an African-American. There's the race card. Can't be hidden. It's right there. Next issue. 
PS: When McCain takes the stage he plays the "age card."
PPS: When McCain says he has more experience than Obama he's playing the age card.
PPPS: Don't forget he's playing the Bush card and Republican card.
PPPPPS: And other times the ridiculous old fart card.
PPPPPPS: I almost forgot. When McCain shows up the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant card is being played.
