1. he forgot to add that the MSM will (maybe) call you a racist
if you make sure to use all of the clearly identifiable racial "dog whistles" when running against President Obama. The Republicans aren't dumb enough to use the "N" word anymore but when they use the phrase "Food Stamp President" and then add "Detroit" to the mix, well, most people are saavy enough to pick up on what they are REALLY saying.

He also forgot to mention that much of the Fox News crowd including his fellow host Sean Hannity are doing everything to make it seem like President Obama is the real "racist" and/or race radical by bringing up Rev. Wright and every loose and/or tenuous connection President Obama has to any all African-American preachers, activists, etc. whom have ever had harsh words for the manner in which their race has been (and still is) being treated by the white majority culture in this country.

3. Stop with the metaphors and innuendos ........
and IT might stop, but they can't help themselves, Ratings are
worth way more than the TRUTH.

4. I haven't watched O'Reilly in years. If they call up racial images then
anyone could be called racist. The right wing seem to bristle at the accusation, but show me where anyone from the left puts out these nasty comments.

5. Maybe they'll call you a racist if you say:
He's articulate

Call him "that one"

Call him Kenyan

Insist he's a secret Muslim

Claim he's not elible for the presidency

Demand to see his birth certificate

Say he hates America

Say he hates White people


Those are just a few give-aways.

6. I'm sure Obama contacted David Gregory and insisted he
frame his question that way. Or is it that the MSM just really likes Obama and they hate America too?
