Interesting thing about McCain's "suspended" anti-Obama ad.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

They're repeating clips of Wright and Obama speaking

with this picture:



over music by Public Enemy



What do these all have in common? They're race baiting. It's all designed to scare cowardly racist into voting against the black guy.

Just thought I'd point out the obvious to anybody foolish enough to still be arguing over Wright.

1. Really?

Oh my. Is the video gone? Did anybody save it?

That photo...the history behind it... How fucking dare they?

[anonymous171]

2. Seriously!? WTF is their problem!?

[Hugabear]

3. We're gonna see a lot of this in the general election

I'm sure McCain will have his surrogate groups working overtime, pumping out all sorts of racist ads. Then he'll get to sit back and claim that he had nothing to do with them.

4. Anyone who turns against Obama because of this kind of stuff....

...most likely wouldn't be with us in November. Fair weather supporters are not helpful, so maybe it's best to weed them out now.

5. Public Enemy was my favorite group

[Laughing Mirror]

7. Yes they were the best

And then along came NWA. The producers of these incendiary political ads might confuse the two, however.

8. ahhh NWA....F the police and straight out of Compton

6. The PE covered a lot of the same rhetorical ground

that Reverend Wright has used in his 'hateful' speeches - Black Power, indicting the US government, even the odd mention of Louis Farrakhan here and there (especially on my favorite PE album, 'It Takes A Nation Of millions To hold Us Back').

Coincidentally, the PE introduced the world to Sister Soulja, who you'll remember Bill Clinton excoriated in his famous 'Sister Soulja moment.'

Since the ad was done by an 'independent' party (who works for a RW network), one can't draw a straight line between PE/Soulja and the Clinton campaign. It's just pretty interesting that the producer of the ad saw fit to use them for the bed.

9. Whats new? Same old puke denial of the actions, like how * claimed the swift boat

liers didn't speak for him, yet never lifted a finger to stop them from spreading their lies. One trick pony show.

10. You think that's bad

just wait until the fall.

[stillcool]

11. I hope it keeps up...

all the way to November. The blowback from shit like this will be spectacular.

[JoFerret]

12. By the fall it will be

subtle. unimpeachable. drip drip drip. a thousand cuts. and deadly effective.
And it won't be the mccain campaign but surrogate groups.

[stillcool]

14. it's always the surrogates

doesn't matter...Those double-edged swords are a bitch.

[LordJFT]

13. didn't mccain say he had no problem with Obama's relationship to Wright?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. McCain says all sorts of things.

Want him to say something? Wait five minutes, he'll say it.

[americanstranger]

16. Yes, he did. But a McCain staffer

was caught distributing the video and got suspended for it.

I would have fired the punk outright, but that's probably just me.
