However, many others in the general opposition and fringe did not. One can't call a person "n-----" nowadays, but plenty of opposition called him "the other", "Muslim", "not one of us" , "not really an American", "Kenyan", and brought up Rev. Wright, etc.

Ah they old "They didnt use the race card" theory. Actually they played it perfectly by accusing anyone who criticized him, of possibly having racial motives. The idea that race wasnt used by the Obama campaign is just missing the point. While there is no doubt that a certain segment of the population is racist, the blanket implication of racism in general terms that was done and continues to be done by the left is also deplorable.

Seriously - show me where his campaign ever discussed that in response to opposition. Even his campaign PR people.

There were plenty of accusations of racial motives, but they weren't from the Obama campaign. If you have one, post it, because they were notoriously mute on this.

when bill clinton referred to obama's campaign as a fairy tale, the obama campaign attempted to turn that into a racial issue.

The Obama campaign did not publically turn that into a racial issue, according to what that article says. It talks about an internal memo that later came to light. The Obama campaign never confronted Clinton publically saying, "that's a racial issue Clinton is bringing up".

Did I miss something?

when reading the thread above, it jarred my memory on the obama campaign getting angry with the clintons and it turning into a racial thing. now, i haven't done a lot of searching, but if i remember it being mentioned, it had to have gone public somewhere-right? that's why i started a search with the huffington blog being the first thing that came up.

The Clintons pursued everything they could as far as they could, including the first to release the Rev. Wright stuff (I thought if I'm remembering right), Ayers, and birth certificate nonsense.

sure they did. why wouldn't they? i always find the primary season to be hilarious-with each candidate thumping the other-and then they all make nice when one gets the nomination. hilarious.
