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.

Sounds about as "coincidental" as Ayres hosting a fundraiser for a guy he doesn't know...and sitting in a pew in front of a racist, hate-spewing preacher and missing all of the racism and hate-spewing.

No, not really...it's within the margin and the Dem registrations are fiction.

>>> McCain is going down like a coward by lying about Obama behind his back and smiling in his face. What kind of "man" does that?

Ask the gutless Obama.

>>> McCain spoke out AGAINST those Rovian tactics and NOW McCain is FOR those Rovian tactics? If THAT isn't erratic, then Alaska's not a cold state.

Telling the truth about Obama's character isn't "Rovian"...well...maybe it is. LOL!

You did miss that Obama is ahead in the polls, I guess.

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.

Within the margin of error...and we've already seen that the Dems, and possibly the Obama campaign itself, are guilty of voter fraud, so I'm not putting much stock in the lies from the left. But what is really telling, is that in a "Dem" year with the economy in the tank your "wunderkind of hope and change" can barely...barely..."outpace" (for the moment) the "72 year old Washington insider who's just like Bush." LOL! Darn! If only Hezbollah could vote!

Think so?...

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, you know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."
