On Morning Joe, Joe and Mika are just laying into Senator McCaskill about Senator Obama "playing the race card." Yessir. As I wrote yesterday on the Huffington Post, here's a perfect example of the barbecue media accepting and repeating a McBush Republican frame as the control group and demanding that the Democratic Obama campaign -- the experimental group -- accept the frame and defend itself against the charges.
In other words, it appears as if Senator McCain can accuse Senator Obama of being a space alien from the future and the Obama campaign would be forced by the media to defend itself against the charges.
