What was interesting about the skit was the implication that anyone who supported Clinton was a racist. That is pretty much going to be the game plan for the Obama campaign until November. If anyone disagrees with Obama on any issue, they're a racist. If you question Obama's lack of experience, you're a racist. If you don't think Obama can "bridge" the differences between Republicans and Democrats, you're a racist. If you think Obama's tax policies will destroy the economy, you're a racist. If you think his healthcare policy will be a disaster, you're a racist. If you question why he sat in a church for 20 years and never questioned what the pastor was saying, you're a racist. If you think it's dumb to talk to terrorist nations like Iran without preconditions, you're a racist. If you think his inexperience in foreign policy will only make the world more dangerous rather than safer, you're a racist. If you question why he hasn't sponsored or created one major bill in the Senate, you're a racist. If you wonder why we should elect a man president who hasn't even been in the Senate for more than one term, you're a racist. If you wonder what kind of judges he'd appoint to the Supreme Court, you're a racist. And if you just don't like the suits he wears, you're obviously a racist. Yup, expect a lot of this from now until November because, as we all know from the Obama campaign, all whites are racists (except for the ones who vote for him).

Uh... I don't seem to recall ever hearing Sen. Obama accuse the electorate of racism. Did he even *say* the word "racist"... either on the stump or in an interview?

Libertyship, WHERE, pray tell, are you getting this claptrap from?

Okay liberty, bah bah bah bah. No one calling no one a racist. This is the humor that SNL suppose to make which is "extreme". Stop being paranoid no one calling those who stand against Obama racist it called being an American with voting Rights!!!! You still can vote for who you want even if you don't like the person becasue of gender, race, or age!!!!

Saptarshi,

Obama, personally, doesn't have to make that charge. That's what his supporters do.

Saptarshi, some of my comments are a joke, but the fact remains that Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was on Fox News a little over a week ago on a program with Chris Wallace. On that program Dean said that anyone who even brought up the Reverand Wright issue was a racist. Neither Obama nor his campaign refuted the comment, let alone denounced it. Please, Obama's campaign is going to use the race issue whenever they can in order to silence their opponents. Some of my comments we meant to be humorous, but in humor there is also a lot of truth.

Wow, what an accurate summation of the clinton camps recent talking points.

I am a Obama supporter and I do not believe that EVERYONE who doesn't vote for him is racist. That is ridiculous, Belasarius and Libertyship. However the truth is there will be some people who will not vote for Obama solely because he is black (despite his blood line and family makeup). Just as there will be people who will not vote for Clinton solely because she is a woman.

Both of these groups are wrong, but so be it. Hopefully there are enough of the rest of us, who although not blind to gender or race, are adept enough to listen to the points of all the candidates and vote intelligently.

While the SNL skit was humorous it was a little cruel I believe, just as the Fatal Attraction comments have been. Reminds me of the old saying of a "woman scorned". So Libertyship do you think SNL was sexist?

People just go and vote and stop putting labels on everyone whose views are different from your own.

The Skit was dead on. Her actions speak volumes. I am so dissappointed in her. Both she and Bill had my vote until she started playing the race card. BTW the skit had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Haha, race is just a tricky wicket in the equation, huh? Well, has anyone read the article on Fox News about Obama's campaigners facing racism in Indiana? How about the West Virginian on television saying he wouldn't vote for Obama, because he doesn't share his ancestry? Or, that, me being a US Marine, have encountered numerous people who won't vote for a black guy because they don't want "hip hop" in the White House. I wouldn't say Hillary is playing the race card, but racism is definitely going to affect this election.

How much credibility does one place in an opportunistic comedy skit? Now its biased, that should even reduce its credibility. Its as bad as Michael Moores stuff. It was funny and it was Saturday Night Live. If our votes are determined by that, Chevy Chase would be president.

Question for Netvote:
Do you suppose the good Rev. Wright would ever vote for McCain or Hillary?
Why?

Actually, as far as comedy goes, I rate the skit at about c plus. I've loved SNL since it first aired in the 70's but every once in a while one of their lesser skits can go painfully long.
Indeed, how many of the 90% of AA voters who intend to vote for BHO are doing so because he is black? The only people who are infusing race into this campaign are those who stand to gain by stifling any debate about a candidate's loyalty to country, associations to radicals, or snotty elitism -- those bringing us the BHO Show.

I don't think all Clinton supporters are racists. But the polling from West Virginia was sad and disappointing. It's a shame that so many voters harbor prejudice towards Obama because he's black. 22% of those polled said his race was a reason they went with Clinton. That means the real number of voters who felt that way was probably double. Even more voters used the Wright association as an excuse to conceal their prejudice. It's a telling statistic that Clinton's biggest voter base is comprised of women, uneducated whites and senior citizens, the latter two being the two most bigoted segments of the population. Clinton has allowed these racial prejudices to fester because she thins it's to her advantage. She is clinging to what she can, and I hope Obama resists her strong-armed attempts to get the VP nod. He should go with Sebelius, or maybe McCaskill.
