Ducking the Issue

It happens quite a bit. Someone gets called out on something and instead of addressing the real issue, they get 'outraged' over something completely irrelevant.

For instance, the McCain campaign came out with a very effective ad linking Obama's advisers to the corrupt federal mortgage industry. Check it out.




The reaction from the Obama camp was... this ad is racist. That's right. Racist.

What? That makes no sense.

Playing the race card whenever they want to duck an issue. That's not change, that's the same old trick.
