Racism on the trail
The Washington Post explores racism encountered by Obama volunteers, something the campaign may have preferred kept quiet, while bloggers on the right see liberal media bias.
Alex Koppelman [2008-05-13]

  • racism

    I think this article on racism IS racist. It's full of conjecture and is promoting exactly what the republican opposition as well as the Clinton machine desire which is to use the race card as the "trump" card in this election. Mr Koppelmans "story" is just that a story and not supported by anything more then stererotyping and fear mongering. Of course there's racism in America. Just as there is in all societies. This issue is no more a deciding factor in this election then Mccains' age. I think what is throwing the media off in this election is how much middle America is backing Obama. Mr Koppelman just represents the media as the third political party in this country. They don't represent the majoriety opinion in this country but their own self promoting interest which is to keep "yellow" journelism the main draw for their advertisers and of course that very small over-represented minoriety of Americans.
