“It’s conservatives who resent McCain for depicting them as bigots who are willing to trash the country’s immigrant tradition to scare up votes.”

So, McCain’s political tools are now to be turned against him. What’s that old saw? Something about living by the sword?

But what’s even funnier, is that this is the story of this presidential primary campaign. The tools of the demagogues are being used against the demagogues. Hillary uses charges of sexism against the Obamessiah, while The One uses charges of racism against the Smartest Woman in the World.

Non-Party Democrat McCain will now be targeted with the bigotry charge that he used against Conservatives. Ah, and it will not be the Conservatives using the Club of Bigotry, it’ll be the Liberals.

My prediction, it won’t work against McCain. Blacks and Hispanics are ethnics groups in fierce competition. Competition for jobs, competition for status, competition for neighborhoods; the Black Nationalist Obama has as much chance of getting the Hispanic vote, as Bull Connor had of getting the Black vote, in spite of the fact they were both Democrats.
