McCain plays race card on himself

by: Hopeful

Fri Aug 01, 2008 at 03:14:28 PM EDT

You've probably heard that John McCain's campaign is complaining that Barack Obama said that they'll attack him for not looking like the Presidents on dollar bills.

"So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face," Obama said in Springfield. "So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other Presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky. That's essentially the argument they're making."

Today Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, sent out a message saying, "Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It's divisive, negative, shameful and wrong."

Shameful?  Divisive? Wrong?  Racist?  Too bad that blogger dhmlt 66 remembered that the McCain campaign did make fun of how Obama would look on money.  (See OpenLeft too.)  Now I'll confess I didn't pick up that the ad was racist, but if McCain's campaign manager says it is, who am I to doubt him?  Here's the screen capture from the webab as seen on youtube:
