Fox News commentator Dick Morris says that President Barack Obama has a plan to win re-election by “stoking a feeling of victimization in the African-American community.”

“He can’t give Spike Lee’s money back because his whole goal is to provoke a racial confrontation,” Morris explained.

“You say the president’s goal is to spark a racial confrontation?” Hannity asked.

“I don’t mean in the streets of Florida,” Morris replied. “What I mean is — I’m sorry, I misstated that. Take it back. The president’s goal is to heighten African-American turnout by stoking a feeling of victimization in the African-American community.”

Same with Matt Drudge. They're constantly blaring this bogus crap and nobody is paying attention except the nuts stuck in the right wing echo chamber.

How long before they insinuate that it was actually Obama that killed Trayvon in order to win reelection?

if institutional and personal racist policies would stop creating victims, maybe just maybe there would be no feelings of being victimized. That being said, I don't think that is what is happening at all.

He doesn't have too, our society does a very good job of that. It's not like the repubs aren't playing the poor, poor Christians being attacked by those evil Dems victim hood, is it?

it attempts to stop any shared black/white reconcilliation of experience which is important for the GOP who need to keep racism and division alive so they can use it in their Southern Strategy well into the future. They take the moral superiority of being post racial and none of the shame of being racist.

It's a toss for me as to who has the more disgusting, smarmy, oily, unctuous voice; Mr. foot odor breath or Etch-A-Sketch.
