David Gergen calls bullshit

 

I've just now seen this clip of David Gergen referring to the racial subtext of the GOP's Obama-as-narcissist shtick, and all I can say is: kudos to Gergen for bluntly pointing out the racial subtext of these attacks.

If any conservatives read my piece in this week's Phoenix, in which I make much the same argument, they may have dismissed this point as the carping of a liberal partisan. But Gergen's observations should make it clear that it's anything but--and that McCain, not Obama, is the one who's injected race into the presidential campaign.
