Lauer to Obama: Ready for Republican Racism, Swiftboating?

Matt, if Obama can withstand the Clinton's racist attacks, he can withstand anything the Republicans can do!

In MSM circles, "swiftboating" is shorthand for false attacks on Democrats, even though John O'Neill and other members of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth stand adamantly behind their allegations about John Kerry's war record.
In an interview of Barack Obama conducted yesterday and aired on this morning's Today, Matt Lauer employed the "swiftboating" code to ask whether the candidate is prepared for the Republican onslaught. For good measure the NBC anchor wondered if Obama is ready for Republican racism.
Lauer, introducing the issue, stated that "Senator Clinton has questioned whether he can withstand negative attacks from Republicans in the fall."
Matt, if Obama can withstand the Clinton's racist attacks, he can withstand anything the Republicans can do!

Has Lauer yet been called onto the carpet for this?
