Let a Thousand Swift Boats Sail 1
The Republican smear machine cranks up:
In Obama’s case, this effective meme will be modified to portray him as secretly promoting “the militant black agendaâ€â€¦one that denigrates patriotism and seeks to install a Marxist inspired version of socialism. Take a moment to do a Google search with the term “Obama Socialist Marxist agendaâ€. If that doesn’t convince you, Google “Obama Marxist Posters†and you’ll note the efforts to connect Obama to Che Guevara.
Of course, the reason they resort to these tactics is that the truth about them–phony wars, crippling budget deficits, selling out the nation to benefit the rich, corruption that would make Harding blush–loses votes.

Frank, that’s just disingenuous. The racism in this campaign started with the Democrats and is being continued by them. To excuse that while predicting some Republican racist campaign before it even starts is just a double standard.
