The Media

The Barbecue Race Card

Written by Bob Cesca

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.
