A `racist swine'? *you* calling any a `racist swine' is so thick with irony,
you could almost cut it with a knife!

PRUDEN: It's time to play the race card - Washington TimesSubscribeRSSMobile


By Wesley Pruden


ANALYSIS/OPINION:


Race-baiting never goes out of style. Only the races and the baiters change.
Drawing the race card is nearly always a sign of desperation, as any number of
old white politicians could tell you if they were not all dead.


When George Wallace lost his first race for governor of Alabama, back in the
benighted days, he vowed never to be "out-segged" again. He was
making polite
conversation. Sen. Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, whose name was synonymous
with mean-spirited race politics in the South, once felt the hot breath of a
challenger and called in his campaigners to tell them "it's time to start
yelling n*****." Bilbo and his campaigners quickly obliged and the backwoods
obliged with enthusiasm and votes.


Those days are mercifully behind us, but now Barack Obama wants to join the
sordid ranks of the race hustlers, like the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al
Sharpton, if not necessarily the race baiters. Maybe there's only a small
distinction between hustling and baiting, but once the toxic stuff is let
loose, it doesn't matter what you call it.


The Democratic National Committee released a video clip Monday of the
president rousing his troops with what Politico, the Capitol Hill political
paper, calls with artful euphemism, "unusual demographic frankness." The
auguries for November do not look good, the president concedes, and he wants
"young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in
2008 [to] stand together once again." Many of these "surge"
voters cast their
first ballots in 2008 and then ignored pleas to turn out for gubernatorial
races in New Jersey and Virginia (or that famous Senate race in Massachusetts)
and the Democrats took a licking.


No candidate, Democrat or Republican, would take the risk (real and even
frightening) of drawing the race card unless absolutely necessary, of
course, "absolutely necessary" defined as the occasion when his
survival is at
stake. Mr. Obama's survival is not yet at stake, but if a calamity like the
big blowout of '94 falls on the Democrats again this year the president's
prospects for re-election in 2012 would dim considerably. Now's the time for
unusual demographic frankness of the kind that the Barack Obama of 2008 so
eloquently denounced with word if not always in deed.


Mr. Obama spent enormous political capital to ram the health care "reform"
down the throats of a public struggling not to swallow, and now he wants to do
it again, and then again, and then once more, with his toxic agenda of
financial reform, global warming "solutions" and immigration
"reform" that he
won't call by its rightful name, "amnesty." It's almost as if the president
has figured out that he will be a one-term president and is determined to use
whatever capital he has to impose as much as he can of that radical stuff from
his Chicago activist days.


The attempt to make "solving" global warming a bipartisan effort collapsed
over the weekend when Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, who gives the
impression of yearning to be a Democrat when he grows up, quit his alliance
with Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Joe Lieberman. The collapse may be temporary.

The unholy musketeers had decided to ditch something called "a carbon linkage
fee" (what everyone but a senator would call a "tax") in
favor of allowing
polluting companies to buy the right to continue polluting from companies
willing to sell their polluting indulgences. This is more of Al Gore's global
warming fantasy, and in the end the Obama administration might have to settle
for a Senate resolution telling the Icelandic volcano to behave itself.


If he can push the global-warming legislation aside Mr. Obama can move amnesty
for the illegals to the top of his agenda, but this, as any number of
Democratic congressmen are telling him loud and clear, is merely substituting
a noose for the electric chair for a lot of Democratic incumbents. "It's not a
tough vote at all for me," Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania tells Politico.
"I'm not going to vote for amnesty. I'm not going to vote for a path to
citizenship, or whatever you want to call it. "It's not like health care where
everyone has a dog in the fight. If you come from where I come from, there's
no support for [immigration reform] at all."


Mr. Obama, who rarely took a recorded stand on anything during his brief
career as a senator, keeps demanding that Democrats in Congress fall on their
swords for him. There's no scarcity of swords but he's running out of willing
Democrats. The race card is all he's got left.
