The Great Obama Smearathon Is Underway

I don't believe that even the most sage of the pundits can predict all of the strange twists and turns that commentators of certain persuasions will take in to try to discredit Barack Obama without overtly playing the race card.

But syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker is off to a bottom feeding start in a code-word littered piece in which she draws the line on true patriotism based on "blood equity" and "bloodlines."

Then there is the "Obama is gay" narrative.
