Campbell Brown Blasts McCain Campaign For "Race Baiting"
October 8, 2008 11:13 PM
In her "No Bias, No Bull" segment Wednesday night, Campbell Brown pleaded with the McCain campaign to stop what she referred to as "race baiting."
"It is getting very, very ugly," Brown said. "Tonight, we are cutting through the bull on the issue of race and this campaign."
Brown blasted McCain surrogates for injecting race Obama's race into the campaign narrative by invoking his middle name or referring to him as a terrorist, and she called on McCain to deliver a "much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement":
Look, everybody, we all know that we are in unchartered territory here. Never before has there been an African-American presidential nominee. So without question, race is going to be part of the conversation. Race baiting doesn't have to be. And yet, it is happening in this campaign.
Twice this week, surrogates for Senator McCain had made a point of calling Senator Obama "Barack Hussein Obama." The implication here is clear. It's foreign sounding. It's Muslim sounding. It's un-American sounding. It's dangerous sounding.
What it is, is race baiting. And that is what is dangerous. Inciting crowds, encouraging their angry outbursts. McCain supporters shouting "treason" and "terrorist" about Obama at these rallies — that is dangerous.
Earlier in the campaign, McCain denounced this stuff. He strongly denounced it. And today, it requires a stronger response, a much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement.

((Wow...the Obama campaign must be getting really scared to pull out the "race card" again. ))
Um. I know that it's reeeeaaaalllyyy late, but Campbell Brown works for CNN. She's not PART of the Obama campaign. lol. She's appealing to McCain as if he has an ounce of honor left to stop being derisive. So, "the crap" is what Campbell told McCain to stop pulling. lol.
((I also find McCain's lack of respect for himself, for Obama, and for America shameful. Why can't the man have a dignified debate? Unfortunately, I don't think McCain is capable of it and that diminishes us all. ))
You are totally right. McCain is dragging his once respected name through the mud, that since he's not throwing money in that mud, he thinks it won't stick to him. Huge Mistake! Florida, Florida, Florida has become a toss up again. McCain is flopping like a fish, and someone needs to save him. Cindy just poked another hole in the straight talk express and it's hemorrhaging honor. lol.

Oh please...just like the AP reporter who "made the connection" with racism and Bill Ayres. The media is in cahoots with Obama...either that, or they've just coincidentally got the same racist mindset.
Right.. If I hear "Hussein" I immediately think RACE.
So, the HufPo whines about something that the Obama News Network whines about...
Of course it is wholly objective.

***Brown blasted McCain surrogates for injecting race Obama's race into the campaign narrative by invoking his middle name***
Is Barry ashamed of his middle name?
Good for Campbell Brown and she is not the only one. Republicans like George Will and David Brooks are publicly denouncing the tactics that McCain is using. The rhetoric of hate and personal attacks, are politics
