BARACK OBAMA

Now Putting Franklin Raines in an Ad Is Ipso Facto Racism

You know what's really the motivation behind that McCain ad spotlighting Obama's ties to Fannie Mae mismanager Franklin Raines, don't you?

Racism.

Time magazine’s Karen Tumulty tells us so. She says so based on the fact that McCain campaign isn't running an ad spotlighting Obama's ties to white guy/horrible Fannie Mae mismanager Jim Johnson, even though they, uh, are.

Team McCain is unimpressed.

This is the same Karen Tumulty who linked to my debunking of the "whitey" tape rumor, but still said that "Obama sleuths" had found the similarity to a 2006 novel. Apparently the "Obama sleuths" found it before I wrote about it, and just didn't feel like telling anyone.

Look, if she's just gonna repeat whatever Obama spokesman Bill Burton tells her, shouldn't he get the byline?
