This post highlights the use of dog whistle racism (under the radar tactics that play on racial anxiety) in today's politics. And there are so many examples of this!

I don't get that anyone is calling Senator Obama evil. I think what this is implying is that he is untrustworthy. He has been as liberal as any one has ever been through most of his career and now he is selling himself as being moderate. Why doesn't the news media look at this? The news media has demonized Bush to the point that any one that has supported any of those positions is somehow totally wrong. Not all of what Bush has done has turned out to be a failure. The financial crisis can be laid firmly on the door step of congress. Not the administration.

There is little doubt that Senator Obama will change again once he is in office. I believe that he is a socialist at heart and the "robinhood" tax plan that he has proposed is just like President Chavez's of Venezuela method of buying votes from people of lesser means. It is not right. Senator McCain may not be as articulate and he has made mistakes over a very long career but at least he is honest about it and does not try and remake himself to win the election.
