No, I did not say it,

Philadelphia Daily News jerk/columnist John Baer continues the race baiting where Murtha left off:

I think McCain’s camp is banking on Pennsylvania’s “cracker factor.”

I think the campaign believes the Democratic view – expressed by Ed Rendell last winter and Jack Murtha last week (and James Carville 22 years ago) – that there are racist tendencies among Pennsylvania voters. …

So, if you take the most recent polling – an Allentown Morning Call poll Sunday is reflective of others and puts Obama 12 points up, 52-40 – I figure McCain’s folks figure, well, heck, that’s really only 7 points and since most polls have a 3-point margin of error, maybe just 4 points, and that puts us right in the game.

Meanwhile, McCain’s campaign, in TV ads and on the stump, is calling Obama’s tax- cut proposal a “government handout” and “welfare.” McCain yesterday said it’s “just another government giveaway.”

Whom do you think that’s aimed at?

Geez, is this for real?  Is this another “do not ask” or “do not debate” moment?  It sure sounds like it.  Actually, this behavior has been ongoing throughout the election.

Closing from HOTAIR:

People like Baer and Murtha (of Redneckgate)  want to silence debate because they don’t have the answers for it.  They need to hide their own ignorance and stupidity by making baseless accusations in hopes of declaring vast areas of public policy off limits for discussion.
