Because Golf Has Always Been A Stereotypically Black Sport
From the WashEx, an editorial about Dems using accusations of racism to demonize Republicans:
For example, who knew that the word "Chicago" is a racist epithet? It is, according to MSNBC's Chris Matthews. "They keep saying Chicago," he said of the convention speakers. "That's another thing that sends that message -- this guy's helping the poor people in the bad neighborhoods, screwing us in the 'burbs." His guest replied: "There's a lot of black people in Chicago." And there you were, thinking Chicago was merely Obama's hometown....Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., commented this week on Obama's enthusiasm for golf: "He hasn't been working to earn re-election. He's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour." That may sound like a wry jab at a political opponent, but MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell saw right through it: "Well, we know exactly what he's trying to do there," he told host Martin Bashir on Wednesday. "He is trying to align to Tiger Woods and surely, the -- lifestyle of Tiger Woods with Barack Obama. ... these people reach for every single possible racial double entendre they can find in every one of these speeches." (Don't try to understand the logic -- it's way over your head.)

There used to be a joke about why white people golfed, so they could dress like black people.
The whole Chicago theme is widely used by the conservative media. Drudge almost always has at least one or two articles poiting to Chicagoland or to Rahm Emmanuel as "The Godfather".

Chicago's politics are as ruthless as they've ever been in my lifetime. If this was racial, it wouldn't be a movie about Italians, it'd be mockery of some Denzel picture.

Hey Wang, I think this place is restricted, so don't tell them you're Jewish, ok?

Does this mean all the liberals pointing out Bush's time on the golf course were racists?
P.S. Eric is on fire today with the humor!

Why they keep mentioning Chicago, because Obama claims it as a model for America. Of course just last week 19 people were shot in Chicago in a single night. It's name is synonymous with corrupt politics, cronys, and union/mob rules.
SO Chicago is Racist, golf is racist but Democrat Akselrod sends out a mailer using the term negrohood it's not racist it's a typo. A typo of what no one is sure.

Newsflash!
Chicagoland: Shooting block from Obama's house...
-right now on Drudge-
It's silly, manipulative and irrelevant. I won't go so far to say it's racist, but it's definitely propagandizing.
And I dedicate this to JFP:

Progressives and liberals don't believe that black people have any other qualities but skin color. They can't hear what a black man says, or hear his ideas, or see the person that he is, because all they see is his color. When you criticize or disagree with a black man, progressives think you criticize or disagree with him because he is black, and they call you racist, because in their eyes everything, and the only thing, that a black man is, is black.
Racism doesn't necessarily mean hostility against other races. It's the belief that people of different races have different qualities and abilities, and that some races are inherently superior or inferior.
White progressives and liberals don't necessarily dislike black people. But they believe that black people are inferior - unable to adequately care for themselves, get educations and job skills, and live as equals in a free, civilized society without the help and support of wise, kind-hearted, superior white people like themselves. They see black people as "the white man's burden". White liberals and progressives are racists to the core.

Ken hit the nail on the head.
That's not racist, is it?
Sosij at August 31, 2012 8:30 PM
Ken, I could cry that's so good. Maybe I'll get brave enough to say it to my liberal friends.
Eric, you have great taste in women.
