If you could look at this thing bluntly, like a Karl Rove would, you would recognize these things. The "race card" is not in essence AT ALL different from the "national security card" or the "Christian values card" or the "abortion card." They are all just cards in the deck, among the very many.
Trust me, Rove played a lot of good cards when he won his two presidential elections. And...why shouldn't he have?

Sure if he can use the race card to blunt valid criticism of him then it will be good for him. As far as comparing screaming racism against someone (fireable offense I believe in many places) to the "national security card" or the "christian values card" is kinda silly imo.
I dont recall many entertainers being fired because of the christian values card.
