Is this ad Racist?
You Decide!
You knew this was destined to happen with the liberal black racist organization that is known as the NAACP. Take a truthful non-racist ad and turn it around and use the race card to neutralize it’s effect. This is just a stunt by the NC NAACP perpetuated by McCain’s actions condemning it and immediately publicized by the MSM. Problem is McCain never viewed the ad.
From AP:
he North Carolina branch of the NAACP said Friday a Republican advertisement that includes a clip of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s former pastor is racially divisive.
NAACP leaders blasted the North Carolina GOP for producing an ad that shows footage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s fiery comments about the U.S. The group said the ad takes Wright’s words out of context in an effort to smear the black community and “prophetic ministers.”
“It’s a fundamentally race-baiting ad,” said Rev. William Barber, state NAACP President. “And it inserts racist sentiments.”
The sound bite shows Wright proclaiming from the pulpit “God damn America” for its racism and treatment of minorities. Obama has denounced the remarks.
The ad was posted online Wednesday. State Republican Party officials still plan to begin airing the ad on television Monday despite the objections of high-ranking Republicans, including likely GOP presidential candidate John McCain.
John McCain happens. In order to condemn this ad he should have at least watched it.
Other than the Rev Wright’s skin color, I can’t see any allusion to race whatsoever. If this ad is racist, then apparently, simply displaying a photo/video of a person of color is a racist act, ie. therefore any opponent of BO is prevented from displaying a photo/video portraying BO in any negative fashion or they would be subject to the charge of racism….is this a parallel universe I’ve entered or what?
Of course it is.
