Glenn Reynolds calls Obama a "racist hatemonger"

He promised hope but he delivers hate.

Glenn Reynolds has been a rather mild mannered law professor with a wildly popular blog. He was never a big fan of Obama but I think the rank race baiting of the Treyvon Martin case has pushed him over the edge.

Linking John Hinderaker of Powerline:

JOHN HINDERAKER:“President Obama has fanned the flames of hatred in the Trayvon Martin case, and has not said a single critical word about the outrageous actions of the New Black Panthers, who offered a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmerman–the same New Black Panthers on whose behalf Eric Holder quashed a federal criminal prosecution; or of Spike Lee, who tweeted a wrong address for Zimmerman, presumably to facilitate harassment or even murder; or of the many liberals who have posted on the @killzimmerman Twitter feed; or of the many other Democrats and liberals who have indulged in an orgy of hate with respect to Mr. Zimmerman. President Obama’s interest in the victims of violence is selective: he cares if they look like the hypothetical son he doesn’t have.”

In other words, he’s a racist hatemonger. Just to be clear. So much for hope and change.

The race card has been overextended for a while. You can still get credit for it in the NY Times, the alphabet networks and NPR, but in the rest of the country you will get pushback, hard. The Obama re-election team is misjudging the race issue and misplaying the race card, badly.
