Just in case anybody actually thinks Drudge is making some kind of point about Obama here.[/quote]
Yeah, because a local news station is a tabloid. Oh, what have we? The race card…who would have thought posting a link to a news story picked up on a local news station website would be racists, yet…nothing said about the local news station being racist.[/quote]
Don’t know what you mean here.
I wasn’t alleging racism, just pointing out that this free phones thing is decades old.
As far as I remember, the Slate tory doesn’t talk about race. Could be wrong. I knew the Atlantic one did so I didn’t link to it.[/quote]
Yes, accused the Drudge of using tabloids to make, “black people look like violent dopes who’ll do anything for more goodies from Obama.” Race is in the link of the article and the title of the article.[/quote]
You’re right, thought I linked to a different one.
The point about it being decades old still stands. I agree with you that this is not inherently racist, though obviously racists are loving it.

SEN. CHARLES SCHUMER (D), NEW YORK: I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strongly they feel, you know? We have three branches of government. We have a house, we have a senate, we have a president. And, all three of us are going to have to come together and give some.
