Veiled Racism Seen In New Attacks on Obama

Stefan Forbes, a documentary film-maker and authority on smear campaigns, explains how, \"Palin is the friendly face, or George W. Bush was the guy you wanted to have a beer with. They'll dance around it and say (these tactics) aren't racist, but they are.\" (AP Photo/Fox News Channel)
