They might as well have had a huge block text graphic over Barack saying “PIMP”. I do think that was a hidden meaning. I really do.

1. The same guy that made the Harold Ford “call me” ad made the Paris/Brittney ad. I personally feel the “call me” ad was definitely racist. If you don’t, that’s cool. People disagree about stuff, or are just plain oblivious to the coded message to CERTAIN people.

2. Saying the Obama campaign “played the race card from the bottom of the deck” is racist. Period. It was deliberate. Make no mistake.

3. “Oh yeah, and he’s black”. Yeah, show me what he was even talking about. Was he talking about emails that say this? Did he actually mention the McCain folks anywhere near there? From what I can tell, that “and he’s black” speech was from back in June. What exactly was the context? If he was talking about emails that scared the public, I think that’s perfectly fair. Why is a speech he gave back in June suddenly an issue a month afterwards? Hmmm, coincides with going negative on Obama. It’s a perfect time to play the “‘race-card’ card”. Let’s be clear, Mark, the ONLY quote we’re talking about regarding Obama playing the race card is the “their going to scare you” comment. He was ridiculing the stupid ad by McCain. And, no, I’m sorry, ridiculing the “Barack for change” icon is beyond a stupid ad. Barack said it right, the McCain camp doesn’t speak to the issues.

4. Just because an ad campaign works, doesn’t make it a good ad campaign. It works because the media talks about it without saying “oh, this is stupid, they’re not even talking about the issues”. You know why? Because the media is a vapid disgusting discourse. It’s a gossip party and it makes me sick. When ad campaigns that are void of any cognitive thought and play to fears and emotion are publicly ridiculed, that will be a tremendous day for America. Or whatever other country we end up becoming if we continue going down this path.

5. Mark, I’m pretty sure Europe has showed us enough gratitude. Or is gratitude deserved in perpetuity? Especially after the right has ridiculed Europe for the past 40 years, specifically the “pinko-commie”ness of them all. I wouldn’t give us any gratitude for ridiculing their way of life, which seems to work ok for them.
