CNN PLAYS THE RACE CARD

Today CNN aired a less than subtle propaganda piece titled the “Black McCains“, featuring an African American woman, Lillie McCain, who claims to be a descendant of slaves once owned by John McCain’s ancestors. Also included in this so called “news” piece, was Douglas A. Blackmon, author of a race-baiting book titled "Slavery By Another Name". Blackmon is a native Mississippian and the Atlanta Bureau Chief of the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Blackmon’s book focuses on the second class citizen status of African Americans during the period prior to WWII.

No American is proud of this country’s past treatment of African Americans. However, CNN’s thinly veiled attempt to connect John McCain to this shameful period of US history is slanderous. Especially offensive, was Ms. McCain’s assertion that she had no doubt that she and John McCain shared the same gene pool, implying that John McCain’s ancestors were not only slave owners, but rapists as well. Whatever, the status of McCain’s relatives of two centuries ago, we know that he is a man of unimpeachable character, who has contributed more to the freedom enjoyed by Lille McCain and every other American than a thousand muck raking authors like Mr. Blackmon could ever hope.

This report has removed any doubt we had concerning CNN’s journalistic integrity.
