Was Gore race baiting when he first mentioned Willie Horton when running against Dukakis for the nomination?

Did he? Got a source for that? If he really did, and depending on the context, it may well have been race baiting.

If you're listening to sound bytes provided by the likes of Fox News you have a very incomplete and contrived picture. But when others appeal to your confirmational biases it can be so soothing.

Gingrich was correct. Its was the left that choose to take an accurate statement about the increase in food stamp recipients under Obama and make it racist.

You can't be that naive. Gingrich called the President our
first food stamp president. It was a conscious effort to link the idea of food stamp recipients, nearly all of them black in Right Wing mythology, with the thing that Obama actually is the first of. That's being our first black president.
