Barack Obama is despicable

The more you learn about someone, the more you learn about someone.

• A year ago, Barack Obama seemed like a left-leaning liberal, but a fairly nice one.

• As we learned more about his politics, we discovered that he's not a liberal, he's a radical.

• We soon discovered some shady dealings between him and Tony Rezko.

• Then we saw his association with a racist, anti-Semitic, America-hating church and pastor.
  

• Then we learned of his friendship with unrepentant leftists terrorists, people who set of bombs in American buildings and would do the same again if they could.

• We saw him begin to pose in his jeans like an adolescent when he became aware that members of the press corps were ogling him.
  

• We met his wife, who is bitter and ungrateful, and who sees her husband forcing us all into the holistic, totalitarian civic unity of progressive fascism.

• We watched as he threw his associates, one by one, under the bus, in order to do what he has to do to gain power. One of those speed bumps is his very own grandmother.

• We've seen him continue to build his cult of personality, using all the tricks of that trade (including his shameful and contemptuous use of the presidential seal).

All of that is enough for one to fear him, dislike him, vigorously oppose him, etc.

But yesterday, I came to feel contempt for him:

Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said on Friday he expects Republicans to highlight the fact that he is black as part of an effort to make voters afraid of him.

"It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy," Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. "We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.

"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

I expected this to come from Democrat attack dogs...from the media...from Paul Krugman...Paul Begala...Bob Schrum...angry rank-and-file...moronic actresses...etc. etc.

I did NOT expect Mr. Uniter to do it. I didn't expect Mr. New Kind of Candidate for a Better Tomorrow to do it. And I certainly didn't expect Mr. Post Racial to do it.

But he did it. It's now just one step away from the final gambit. (That's right, this isn't even the worst thing yet!)

Obama's statement was that Republicans will highlight the fact that he's a black man. That would be a direct racial assault. When Obama realizes that Republicans aren't doing that, he and the rest of them are going to take a newer, more effective tack.

They're going to say that any attack—on any issue—will actually be veiled racism.

Disagree his position on the Farm Bill?
You're a racist.

Don't fancy a doubling of the capital gains tax?
You secretly hate black people.

Oppose a withdrawal from Iraq?
Where's your white sheet and pointy hood?

None of that is exaggeration. It's likely fact, and it seems that Barack Obama proved that on Friday.

Barack Obama has now crossed the line from dangerous and venal to simply rotten. Never more will I allow someone to say that agree or disagree, he seems like a nice fellow. He is not. He is a bad man.

I am going to have more to say about this.
