You say "the media see a racist message" but it's just one guy who is affiliated with ABC. And your proof that "the Obama campaign told them the message is there" is backed up by some other random blog. If these are the rules then I guess I can say all bloggers are conniving spreaders of propaganda, using generalities and unproven "facts" to back up their wrongful and harmful messages. (hey that sounds like Fox News). I can back this claim up by your blog and the Ace of Spades blog you link. I have more references, I win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-57388412194379630512008-08-01T17:45:00.000-04:002008-08-01T17:45:00.000-04:00Eh?

He used a line that he had used three times the day before the ad first aired and first used over a month ago with no cry of "RACE CARD!!!", but before people have time to remember the campaign run against Harold Ford, Jr. in '06 and notice a definite similarity, whether intentional or not, McCain's camp is OUTRAGED that the first black presumptive nominee for POTUS has said that people will be talking about his funny name or noting that he is black. You don't have to be terribly observant to notice that 95% of the Obama/Osama mix-ups and usages of his middle name come from Fox News or to see them use tag lines referencing "Obama's Baby Mama" or "terrorist fist jabs". "They" have already begun to shape these attacks against Obama, so he is not exactly coming out of left field to try and address them head on. He never referenced McCain, and he wasn't talking about this silly ad as being racist, but anyone who was alive in 2004 knows that you will need to defend yourself from attacks from multiple sources other than the campaign itself. What should he do? Just say, well, McCain didn't say that I am a Muslim and getting endorsed by terrorists and that there's a video of my wife talking about whitey, so I guess I can't talk about my race. It definitely wasn't a factor in my primaries in WV and Kentucky, so I guess I won't address it. I guess that means no one gets to be offended by Rev. Wright or Ludacris, right? I mean, they aren't part of the Obama campaign so they shouldn't be an issue, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-53568688845311834562008-08-01T10:12:00.000-04:002008-08-01T10:12:00.000-04:00It is bizarre that anyone could find it racist - I...It is bizarre that anyone could find it racist - I suppose if I tried hard enough I could hark back to the 'Where the White Women At?' craze of a few years ago, but that's a real stretch.<BR/><BR/>I do think Obama's comment on the ad is much more to the point. Paraphrasing only slightly he said "Paris and Britney? Really? That's the best you can do?"Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221914436730358892noreply@blogger.com
