Race card; 1960 election; Richard Nixon; Six Crises

As we watch the MSM/DNC play the race card in order to drag Obama over the finish line, we must remember how long the race card has been a part of the MSM/DNC playbook and how many variations that card has. When we see that the MSM/DNC uses this tactic every time and that it sounds the same each time, the ploy loses some of its effectiveness.

In 1960, the MSM/DNC used religion instead of race, but the tactic was the same. Richard Nixon compiled a list of headlines from the 1960 race for his book, Six Crises:


DEMOCRATS HIT BACK ON RELIGION (New York Times). JACK'S BROTHER SAYS RELIGION TOP ISSUE (Columbia, S.C., State). RELIGIOUS ISSUE STRESSED AT KENNEDY CONFERENCE (Nashville Banner). JOHNSON BLASTS 'HATERS' ATTACKS ON CATHOLICS (Washington Post). BOB KENNEDY SCORES STRESS ON RELIGION (Cleveland Plain Dealer). CREED ISSUE MUST BE MET, BOB KENNEDY SAYS HERE (Cincinatti Enquirer). BOB KENNEDY SAYS CATHOLIC ISSUE WANES (New York Herald Tribune). MRS. FDR HITS RELIGIOUS BIAS IN TALK TO NEGROES (Baltimore Sun). UAW PAMPHLET LIKENS KENNEDY FOES TO BIGOTS (Washington Star).
p. 366 [1962]

Remember this the next time that some Obama critic is accused of bigotry, racism, etc. The script was written decades ago. Only the names change.
