Gov. Sebelius appears to be doing the dirty work for Obama these days. Everyone remembers right after Obama won the nomination for the DNC, how he played the pre-emptive race card.
Now Gov. Sebelius has taken the torch in that regard and called all Republicans racists. Here is the original story from the AP with her quote in it:

Quote:
"Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using "code language" to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them
Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?" Sebelius asked with sarcasm. "(Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness."

And here is the cleaned up version from the Miami Herald, where they took "Republicans are not going to go lightly into the darkness" out of it:

Quote:
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday that a belief among some voters that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them is hindering his campaign for president.
Asked at a brown-bag lunch at the local library why the campaign is neck-and-neck, Sebelius said "code language" raising doubts about Obama is invalid because his life experience "has a lot more to do with me and my family."
"I think that the notion that, 'By the way, have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African American?' I think that is for a number of people difficult," Sebelius said. "I think we need to talk about the fact that that is a real issue."

Once again, the media is having to cover these people's tracks b/c of their outragous comments.
When is enough going to be enough?
