McShame party accusing Obama of playing the race card.
This is from my hometown newspaper.

John McCain's campaign accused Barack Obama of playing "the race card" on Thursday after the first black candidate with a serious chance of winning the White House claimed Republicans will try to scare voters by saying he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills." Until now, the explosive issue of race has been almost taboo in the campaign, at least in public, with both sides fearing its destructive force.

"Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. It's divisive, negative, shameful and wrong," McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said, suggesting the Arizona senator had been wrongfully accused.

1. nonsense.
They've been calling him arrogant and presumptuous all week. Tell me the knuckledraggers don't hear the word "uppity" when they hear that...

WHO played the race card?
