RNC STATEMENT ON DEMOCRATS’ CHARGES OF RACISM
Makes it a lot easier when a Black man delivers this message isn’t it.
From The (News) Wire
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“President Carter is flat out wrong. This isn’t about race. It is about policy.
“This is a pathetic distraction by Democrats to shift attention away from the president’s wildly unpopular government-run health care plan that the American people simply oppose. Injecting race into the debate over critical issues facing American families doesn’t create jobs, reform our health care system or reduce the growing deficit. It only divides Americans rather than uniting us to find solutions to challenges facing our nation.
“Characterizing Americans’ disapproval of President Obama’s policies as being based on race is an outrage and a troubling sign about the lengths Democrats will go to disparage all who disagree with them. Playing the race card shows that Democrats are willing to deal from the bottom of the deck. Our political system has no place for this type of rhetoric.
“As the leader of the Democratic Party President Obama should flatly reject efforts by those in his Party, including Jimmy Carter and Tim Kaine, to inject race into our civil discourse in ways that divide, not unite, Americans.”
