The Oldest Card in the Deck.

Can you see the glow of the Race Card?

In an effort to maximize the use of cliches in this election, members of John McCain's campaign accused Barack Obama of playing the "race card" on Thursday.

Martin Luther King just had some kind of sick fire hose fetish; he really didn't have to go through with the civil rights activism when he could have just slapped his race card on the table and been done with the matter.

I'm sure Sean Bell would have loved to have a race card handy before he was shot and killed by the NYPD. Frank Jude Jr. (google the name) could have used one as well.
