Report: McCain Planned "Race Card" Charge

John McCain's strategy for the summer is to play aggrieved victim of the big bad Obama campaign (sound familiar?). As a matter of fact, according to Marc Ambinder, they were waiting for a reason to accuse Obama of using the "Race Card" charge for some time.

And McCain's campaign is trying to play the aggrieved victim card, trying to generate the type of outrage that legitimately follows when the "race card" is played illegitimately. Also, by putting on their poker face a day after the Britney/Paris ad, McCain's campaign might be trying to associate criticism of McCain's tactics with the allegedly laid down race card.  McCain's aides have been waiting to use this "race card" card for a while, saving it up like one of those Uno Draw Fours.

Expect these petulant attacks from the "America hero" from now until November. They know the president sucks as does their agenda. The only slogan they have left is "poor me".

I'm not quite sure I follow (none / 0)

By the context, your diary is saying that McCain is going to accuse McCain of playing the race card.

While I'm used to the McCain campaign not making any damn sense, I think you might need to re-word your diary.

There is a report that he planned on making a "politicizing the troops" charge, if indeed Obama had visited the wounded troops.  The man has no shame.
