G.O.P. ‘Super PAC’ Weighs Hard-Line Attack on Obama

The plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign.

“The world is about to see Jeremiah Wright and understand his influence on Barack Obama for the first time in a big, attention-arresting way,” says the proposal, which was overseen by Fred Davis and commissioned by Joe Ricketts, the founder of the brokerage firm TD Ameritrade. Mr. Ricketts is increasingly putting his fortune to work in conservative politics.

The $10 million plan, one of several being studied by Mr. Ricketts, includes preparations for how to respond to the charges of race-baiting it envisions if it highlights Mr. Obama’s former ties to Mr. Wright, who espouses what is known as “black liberation theology.”

And here's how these race baiting wealthy people are going to avoid being called racist.

The group suggested hiring as a spokesman an “extremely literate conservative African-American” who can argue that Mr. Obama misled the nation by presenting himself as what the proposal calls a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln.”

That's right, to apply for the spokesperson position you must be black and "extremely literate". Because a black who is not well-read and well-spoken may come off, you know, too urban.

Alas, Sarah Palin is vindicated!! She said McCain should have hurled piles of dog crap at Obama. If you're gonna get dirty, go all the way, right baby?
