This is a point I wanted to hit on.

There is this myth that Fox News is racist, Rush Limbaugh is racist, Bush is racist, and Republicans are racists.

Who gave everybody this idea?

Divisive candidates like Barrack Obama and the MSM that supports his nonsense....that's who.
My turn.
In your mind or in reality?

We can't afford these so-called "innocent racist comments" because all they do is play a role in dividing this country. They are pretty much part of a plan by the left to paint the right as racists. Katrina was the ultimate example of this falacy.

As Kanya West said, "Bush Doesn't Care About Black People!" Just a big lie and it served as a launching point for the MSM accusations against Bush of racism and fit perfectly into the stereotype the Dems want to foster. Where did Kanya West get this crazy idea? Has he been visiting Obama's "former" church Trinity United?

I guess we can forget about the fact that Bush picked 2 blacks to be his Secretary of State for his entire term of office. But so what, they aren't really black according to the left. They're traitors to the cause. Any black who goes Conservative is labeled a traitor, an Oreo, an Uncle Tom. As a matter of fact Bush hasn't practiced tokenism like the left has, or quotas. He's filled several postions in his administration with qualified minorities......a fact that the MSM wants to avoid if not totally ignore.

This is a stereotype fostered by the left to keep what they think is their black voters on the 'plantation'.

No, most of the racism I'm seeing these days is coming from the left, not from the right.
I don't see where any of that relates to the charge that Obama is trying to ignite a race war. It's more like connecting him to a few unrelated incidents which Obama had nothing to do with. That includes implying he supported what Wright said. He condemned Wrights comments and has not been quoted as saying the same things to my knowledge.
I've been to a couple of Baptist churches where the preachers were so "fire and brimstone" in their words it was almost scary, and I don't think ANYONE in the congregation agreed with him.
If the MSM is indeed fostering racism, they are doing it without regard to political affiliation, IMO. Once they smell blood in the water they will jump on it, and they don't much care WHICH side it comes from.
And another point. Where did you SEE Wright's tirades repeated a hundred times? The MSM, that's where. If they were on Obama's side they wouldn't have done that, would they?
