[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, no they don't. They mention race whenever the wingnuts bring up race. Then it's "oh my, reverse racism! Why can't I be proud of my anglo-saxon heritage, what's wrong with that?" [/quote]

+1 for irony.
The only person bringing up race is you (and the original Washington Post columnist).

The RNC Ad does not mention race at all and am not really sure what Romney's anglo-saxon heritage comment has to do with original poster's question.

[b]A wingnut wrote this? The Washington Post is now a wingnut newspaper?[/b][quote]
By telling potential voters “It’s OK to make a change,” the RNC is acknowledging all that I mention above. It’s OK to like the guy personally but not vote for him again. This is not a popularity contest. It’s OK to vote against the black guy.. You gave him a shot. He gave it his best shot. He failed. And the most effective message is: “It’s OK to make a change” — and not be thought of as a racist.
 
[b]That’s why the “It’s OK to make a change” ad is the most dangerous for Obama’s reelection efforts. [/b]It give those few, yet crucial, undecided voters the pass they might be looking for to vote against Obama.[/quote][/quote]

you conveniently edited out the post to which I was responding.  It was a huge overgeneralization, and it read:

[quote]It seems that every time you see a democrat commentator on the news, they pull the race card. They insinuate, or sometimes outright state, that anyone who disagrees with Obama's policies or views him as a failure does so because they are racist at worst, or just don't care for black people at best.

Thanks for demonstrating that context matters.
