Obama is now playing race card

Obama calls Republicans racists.

This is what Barack Obama said in Jacksonville, Florida at a campaign rally:

"We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid. They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

Here's the CNN video of this speech from YouTube:


Barack Obama is now calling Republicans racists. May I remind Obama that it was the Republicans were the ones who were against slavery, the Democrats were and some still are the racists. Southern Democrats founded the KKK, not Republicans. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was a Republican. Ike Eisenhower, a Republican, was the first president to have significant civil rights acts since the 1870s. Eisenhower sent in the Arkansas National Guard to escort the "Little Rock Nine" into Little Rock Central High School. The governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, a Democrat fought to keep the school segregated.

When was history changed? When did people become ignorant? When did people begin to believe whatever they hear?
