Picture this ...

McCain, his pants around his ankles, reading the newspaper, cock in hand, screaming "HE'S A NIGGER!" as little puffs of dust spew from his limp little pecker (did the Viet Cong let him keep it?).

Switch to Obama in blackface, a fedora with a zoot suit on. "Because, you know, I don't look like none a them there preznits on da dollah bills." [/Kingfish (or Uncle Remus if you prefer) voice]

Seems, somehow, that now the gloves are off and McCain is allowed to resort to his own type of 'Southern Strategy'.

I was wondering how they were gonna work in that all Obama's supposed faults are "because he's black". Now, supposedly, Barry has opened the door. Now, supposedly, McSame can yell "nigger, nigger, nigger" (or something close) and will be immunized from the consequences.

Update:

Ol' Fez-head is of the same mind:

How many weeks before Kristol or Krauthammer pull out "contumelious"?
