Admission: Captain Bullshit's Sidekick David Axelrod Admits "Doesn't Look Like Other Presidents on Dollar Bills" Referred to Race, Among Other Things

And yet he, and the media, continue to insist that it was McCain who injected race into the campaign.

Despite the fact that Obama specifically said McCain (and Bush, and "they") would attack Obama for "not looking" like other presidents, i.e. being half-black.

See, in Obamaworld, this makes sense. And our media lives in downtown Obamaworld.

Sen. Barack Obama’s chief strategist conceded that the Democratic presidential candidate was referring to his race when he said Republicans were trying to scare voters by suggesting Obama “doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”…
When pressed to explain the comment, Axelrod told “GMA” it meant, “He’s not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States. He’s new to Washington. Yes, he’s African-American.”

This after yesterday's strident insistence that the remark had nothing to do with race whatsoever.

Captain Bullshit rides again.

If you watch the video at Hot Air, note that Matt Lauer elicits -- possibly accidentally -- this crucial admission from Axelrod, and then changes the subject as quickly as he can rather than ask follow-up questions.

Either he's stone cold stupid, or he realized quickly Axelrod had made a damaging admission, and tried to help his buddy out of a jam as quickly as possible.

To steal more from Hot Air: Oddly, the Times "editorial" I posted last night was in fact written by the NYT editorial board, but oddly enough ran as a blog post, not as an actual editorial on the Op-Ed pages.

Why?

McCain's campaign guesses:

That the Times made this allegation in a blog post rather than running it on the editorial page indicates that they either knew the charge was bogus or they didn’t have the nerve to make their case in full view of the public. But in their new role as bloggers, the paper’s editors seem to have all the intelligence and reason of the average Daily Kos diarist sitting at home in his mother’s basement and ranting into the ether between games of dungeons and dragons.

Hey, buddy, are you trying to lose my vote now?

That's capitalized by the way, douchebags.

Andrea Mitchell is a Fucking Lying Whore; She insists that she doesn't think Obama injected race into the argument, and neither did anyone else in the media.

The problem? Mitchell and everyone in the media knows that Obama's people were pushing the race attack on the celebrity ad for a full night and a day. They got the calls. They know damn well Obama wanted the MSM to brand the ad as racist (as the New York Times editorial board did, in a blog post; as Obama's favorite race-based bloggers at TPM did, etc.).

Andrea Mitchell is now swearing to facts she knows to be 100% false.

Nobody portrayed on our paper currency looks like any modern presidential candidate.

Powdered wigs were out of fashion by the turn of the 19th Century.

Long hair on men haven't been sported in the Oval Office since the late 19th Century.

Any facial hair on a 19th Century POTUS is not popularly sported today.

Male ruffled collars and shirts are for staged affekt today, as are pantaloons.

So is the DNC now going to require that all US currency be reassigned modern personalities, namely Nancy Pelosi being the first Speaker of the House? Get in line, BHO. You are not the first elected novelty of anything. As yet, BHO and Hillary tie for hopeful candidates; neither having been formally nominated as yet.

The MSM is just dying for a conservative to say something racist. They would even settle for something said by McCain's-mother's-optomitrist's- gardener's-son's-freind.

When they don't get what they want, they accuse us of speaking in code.

That's it Spades you're off the Christmas Card list for good this time. And stop picking on Barack you racist bastard. Don't you understand that he is going to heal my sin of being a rich white liberal? Also I'm hoping that he might consent to banging me while Alan watches.

Posted by: Andrea Mitchell at August 01, 2008 03:48 PM (uw1/g)

Obama: I'm black, and McCain is going to use it against me because he's racist. Did I mention that I'm black? Expect McCain to start burning crosses any day now.

McCain: No I'm not. Stop being a race-baiting douche.

Obama: SEE! I told you! Raaaaacist!

MSM: Obama didn't inject race into the race at all; but that McCain ad that compared him to Paris Hilton? RACIST. Also, Obama's cock tastes like strawberry ice cream.

Obama is NOT playing the race card.
He really does NOT look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.

He's not flat, wrinkled, green & hanging from the g-string of an exotic dancer.

"Yes, he’s African-American"

We say Italian-American, not European-American.

It seems sort of racist to act like all people living in Africa are just the same, and there's no need to identify them by country.

So why African-American? Why not Kenyan-American?

18 Poor Axelrod (neat last name). Still hasn't learned that the continued denials have overtaken the original statement.

As for the MSM, I'd call 'em all whores, but I don't want to disrespect the 'ladies of the night'. After all, they at least live by a code of ethics. They know whose being screwed.

22 He’s not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States.

Hasn't Morgan Freeman been Hollywood's idea of central casting when they want someone to play the president for the last 10 years or so?

Unless the president is supposed to be evil, then it's flag pin wearing southern cracker casting time.
