Group Runs Anti-Kerry Ads on Black Radio Stations
By Thomas B. Edsall Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, August 12, 2004; Page A01
A group financed by a major Republican contributor has begun running radio ads in about a dozen cities, many in battleground states, attacking Sen. John F. Kerry as "rich, white and wishy-washy" and mocking his wife for boasting of her African roots.
The D.C.-based group, People of Color United, has substantial financial backing from J. Patrick Rooney, the former chairman of Golden Rule Insurance Co. and the founder of a new firm, Medical Savings Insurance Co. Both firms specialize in medical savings accounts, created by Republican-backed 1996 legislation, and health savings accounts, which were created by President Bush's 2003 Medicare prescription drug legislation.
One of the radio ads addresses Kerry's failure to vote on a bill to extend unemployment benefits for 13 weeks: "It needed 60 votes to pass. Ninety-nine out of 100 senators voted -- Kerry did not! It lost by one vote! Maybe Kerry thought the more of us who are unemployed and hurting, the more likely we would vote Democrat."

Bout time. I think Bush can pull a few thousand AA voters away from JohnnyNam.

I love how the story is front page news. HORRORS!
Same treatment for Dem backers of their anti-Bush ads?
Does anybody have the relative score, like Soros $62 million, assorted republicans $3 million?
It's been a bad week for Kamp Kerry, LOLOL!
Ping
"It's disgusting that the president's political allies are now using race as a political weapon," said Bill Lynch, deputy manager of the Kerry campaign.
Disgusting indeed. How dare the Republicans do something the Demoncraps do ad-nauseum every single election cycle!
LOL
John "Apocalypse Now" Kerry was heard to exclaim, "The horror...the horror!"
FOFL .. A REALLY bad week
Cool. How can I contribute? I'd love to see FreeRepublic start a 527. We could hold contests to create the best ads, just like the MoveOn jackasses.
I think that would play well in the black community.
Kamp Kerry! You're really cracking me up tonight. LOL
Sounds like the truth to me.
"I have a long history of involvement with and support of the black community," Rooney said. "For 21 years I have gone to an all-black church. They finally elected me over other black people to their church board. I'm one of them. I don't know what it has to do with health savings accounts."
He's got allot of money and credibility in the black community.
WHAT? Republicans spending money to defeat demonRats? I'm shocked! This could be Hugh! You think I'm joking? I'm totally series.
"If the lib media had been around in 1945:
Zionists have yet to comment on charges that they are behind the release of pictures of alleged war crimes that some say took place under the National Socialist Government of Germany. There is much controversy about this in the US occupied portions of that nation."
