We all knew that sooner or later supporters of Mr. Obama would play the race card against his critics and opponents; but, golly, here it is only mid-February and the race hucksters are already at it. A few Republican governors have been making noises about not accepting bail-out funds as a protest against the colossal debt that Mr. O's "stimulus" really is, so one James Clyburn, Democrat congressman from South Carolina, has branded their opposition as a "slap in the face" of black people. You didn't know that objecting to borrowing four-fifths of a trillion dollars makes you a racist, now did you? On Planet Clyburn, it does.
In this tawdry episode we see the future. As Mr. O's plan craps out, as it surely will, whose fault will that be? Answer: the fault of racist white people who wouldn't let a black man succeed. Just watch and wait; you'll see. Al Sharpton is already on the barricades protesting a political cartoon in the "New York Post" that uses that recent chimpanzee incident to score a point against the stimulus. Those racists at the Post are saying that Mr. Obama is a monkey, Mr. Sharpton wants us to believe. This is just the beginning. Racial politics are back.
