Drudge: Obama encouraging voters to exercise their rights is racist

By GottaLaff

Noted scumbag Matt Drudge adds his fuel to the racist fire. I can see it now: Coming in November 2010 to polls near you: voter intimidation, courtesy of right wing nut jobs everywhere. It's becoming clear that this is what it's coming to.

It's coming down to voter suppression.

Drudge’s lead headline right now:

OBAMA PLAYS RACE CARD: RALLIES BLACKS, LATINOS FOR ‘10 UPSET

[...] Here’s the sum total of what Obama said about blacks and Latinos:

“In 2010, it will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.”

Paddy posted the video here. It runs two minutes 41 seconds. That sentence was 8 seconds long.

So remember, according to Drudge, if you are in the least bit active in getting the vote out, but address your comments to anybody who isn't lily white, you are a racist.

AFL-CIO kicks off largest Get Out The Vote effort ever

Now, who did the AFL-CIO endorse? Oh, that's right, the AFL-CIO endorsed Obama's campaign in late June 2008. BFCE.

(CNN)— With less than two weeks to go before voters cast their ballots, the AFL-CIO launched a massive Get Out The Vote campaign Tuesday, targeting over 13 million union voters across the country in presidential, congressional and gubernatorial battleground states.

250,000 volunteers will disperse across the country in 20 presidential battleground states, including some “non-traditional’ key states like North Carolina and Indiana.

The efforts will also target 12 Senate races and 60 House races in an effort to secure a filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate.

The group, which has been targeting union voters throughout the campaign season, says it also plans to increase the volume of phone calls and door to door knocking in the key states, with an emphasis on veterans, elderly voters and gun owners, who are typically harder to contact.
