Certainly. As far as I know the campaign has not responded to them only bloggers who are screaming "racism" everytime someone says anything they don't like about Obama even if it is true like his middle name. All this gives me the impression that even his supporters think that his background is deadly in a general election.
Yeah, that could be. But look at it this way. If Obama does win the nomination, there are a slew of ways that the Right will attack him. It would be counterproductive, I think, for the Right to do anything blatantly racist. So the next best thing is to plant doubts about Obama based on his upbringing and certain other qualities such as his middle name. It would be naive to think that those attacks are not coming.
Obama supporters all want their shot at responding to those things so you get a pile-on every time something like this comes out. I don't see this as qualitatively different from responses from the HRC or JRE crowd either.
Yeah, it makes some of us look petty, but that seems inevitable in this type of forum.
