It doesn’t take long for CPAC to Race-bait

The NYtimes “The Caucus” blog catches an interesting speaker at CPAC…

How can conservatives win the youth vote that overwhelmingly went for Barack Obama in 2008? At the Conservative Political Action Conference, apparently, some are betting on using racial stereotypes.

In a panel appealing to conservatives under 30, Jason Mattera, author of a forthcoming book called “Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,” likened the gathering to “our Woodstock.”

It’s interesting CPAC still chooses to go after people in such stark racial terms and all the while talk about freedom and liberty. While I don’t think this speaker is representative of CPAC, you wonder how comforting these sorts of images are to non-Evangelical candidates like Romney.
