KUHNER: Is Obama fomenting a race war?
Fanning the flames of racial tension in Arizona is deliberate

By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

President Obama is inciting racial division. He rightly fears that the Democrats will suffer huge losses in November's midterm congressional elections. Republicans are within reach of retaking control of the House of Representatives. Even the Senate may be in play. His party's grip on power is threatened - and with it, Mr. Obama's radical socialist agenda.

Fear breeds desperation. Hence, Mr. Obama is resorting to the worst kind of demagoguery: playing the race card. In a video to Democrats, the president embraced identity politics; black, Hispanic and female voters are to be courted at the expense of white middle-class America.

"It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008, stand together once again," he said.

Mr. Obama conveniently ignored the large chunk of white voters - suburbanites, latte-sipping professionals, environmentalists, labor union members - who voted for him in huge numbers. For Mr. Obama in the 2010 election, whites no longer matter - especially white Christian males.

In recent memory, no president has so deliberately and publicly sought to pit racial and gender groups against each other. The president is not simply the titular head of a party or the leader of government. He is the head of state and embodies the collective will of the American people. He is the president of all Americans - not just certain segments of his electoral coalition. Mr. Obama's rhetoric is reckless. It is fostering civil strife and racial animosity.

1. Except, you enormous douchetard, (not the OP)

"whites, Southerners, Christians and veterans" have not been systematically marginalized from the political process since the the inception of this country.

How the hell does that quote, "it will be up to each of you..." foment racial divide? It will be up to who? Whom was he addressing? According the article, ALL MOTHERFUCKING DEMOCRATS! So it is up to us all, black, red, brown, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and atheist to see that young people vote, that minorities (historically disenfranchised) fucking vote.

Can we disenfranchise this douche canoe? If anybody doesn't deserve the right to vote...

3. Oh how they are scared and wrong. Dems will pick up more seats

4. ah, the typical response of racists

When you call them out on it, they scream about political correctness and the "race card."

How the hell is Obama doing ANYTHING against white males? I am one, and I've yet to see anything which alarmed me in that sense. Frankly, I'd like to see him go a bit further on equal rights issues in general, but how is his response to a racist piece of ... legislation... playing the race card? I suppose to people like the writer, Obama should just "shut up and take it" or something?
