For the next five months, the GOP will be trying to convince America that Barack Obama is nothing more than the culmination of everything “wrong” with affirmative action, liberal guilt and its consequences, race relations, and African-Americans in general in this country in 2008.
They will de-legitimize him as a candidate, as a politician, and as eventually he will be robbed of his status as human being. He will simply become The Great Black Problem In This Country to millions of Americans, and of course the GOP will point out not that shouldn’t vote for him, but that it’s so hard to agonize over what voting for him or against him means.
Even thinking about Obama is meant to be difficult. The GOP wants as much difficulty emotionally involved with weighing the pros and cons of Obama, every argument has a hidden emotional racial meaning according to the pundits. They won’t SAY that, but it will be implied. Obama is the country’s emotional baggage on race writ large.
The plan therefore is to make voting for McCain to be a guilt-free and hassle-free as possible, while making voting for Obama as uncomfortable and taxing as they can, even if the baggage for doing so is created out of wholly imaginary cloth.
“Why stress over Obama when you can just vote for McCain?”
Five months of happy, guilt-free McCain. Five months of seriously grave Obama with all those “undertones”.
Watch.
