Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lawmage. We went from "play the race card" to "RACE-BAITING". Nice little bait and switch there. good job, but I caught you. Shame on you. The comment was given with a chuckle in response to a negative McCain campaign ad that depicted Obama with pictures of Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears.
McCain is going negative, using ads to bash his opponent is ridiculous ways, on one level appealing to old farts like himself who might have distaste for Hilton and Spears and their undeserved noteriety and putting Obama on their level in his campaign ad, and on another more sinister level waking up some people who might not like seeing images of an Afrcan American man flanked by scantily clad young white women. Negative and sleazy all the way, typical Republican campaigning.
Scream all you want about THAT, McCain is running his campaign like a typical sleazebag and no-one is surprised.
As for that New Yorker cover? It was stupid and everything that was said about it in criticism was true. Again... So What? The people that would be negatively impacted by that cover are identifiably the stupidest, meanest, most retarded, hopeless, and venal of our citizens already and they were never going to be Obama voters at any point. If those worm eaters saw the cover and thought "Yeppers, he's a Muslim all right," well, who cares really, they thought that before they saw the cover too. Leave them alone in the dark. The talk and protest about the cover was wasted hot air.
McCain has hired negative campaigners and dirty trickers to run his bid for the White House, he approves of it, and you'll see more rotten negative stuff as we march on towards the election and GOD it's all so predictable. And Obama, being (gasp!) a POLITICIAN, will fight back, the difference being that to keep his base he can't originate the dirty tricks the way his opponent can and still keep his base happy. The Democratic base won't sit still for that crap, but the Republican base will not only sit still, they'll sit up and beg.
Repubs can do no wrong, ever. Democrats are evil. Please consult Ray to confirm my statements. Or maybe I'll just ask YOU, since you've been made over in Ray's image.
