wait, Ford is black??
I saw that too and thought Mort's comments were racist ones.
The media never had a problem showing OJ Simpson and his wife, or Tiger Woods with his, either.
I haven't seen it so I cannot comment authoritatively.
Just remember the rule of thumb: if a conservative/republican black man marries a white devil (Justice Thomas, Ward Connerly) it's a scandal, otherwise (Cornel West, Quincy Jones, Gordon Parks, etc. it's nobody's business.
You know "white people" are never going to win in a "race" contest...
If they had used a black woman to do that, they would have found a different reason...
Ford is about the whiniest candidate I have seen...he cries about everything.
Now he has an ad crying about how Corker has hurt his feelings.
Someone needs to tell him there is no crying in politics.
Well, it's a racist add because Ford says it is. He's a Democrat, so he gets final say.
You mean you still watch "Special Report" with Twit Hume and his Gall Stars?
Fox drove me to watch Lou Dobbs in this time slot.
"satirical ad showing a buxom blond..."
And blondes are supposed to be top heavy and stupid?
I'm tired of this election, ads, candidates and non-issues. Throw in a stupid blonde and watch the steam from my ears..
Something like that.
Gad.
I saw the add earlier today and 'racist' never crossed my mind. Like it or not, mixed black/white couples are not unusual anymore
I'm originally from Tennessee and this ad is a winner. There aren't too many over sensitive PC types in that neck of the woods. Kondracke is reaching by calling it racist.
Kondracke is a racist. The democrats claim to be all-inclusive, but they seem to be shocked when someone shows a black man with a white woman. Wouldn't the stereotypical Playboy Playmate be a blonde white woman.
I can't properly judge until I see the buxom blonde. LOL!
Chrissy Matthews said the same thing and was baiting Tony Snow to condemn the ad.
It's absolutely preposterous to think that it's a racist ad because it shows a white woman sexily talking to Ford, who is black. It's obviously addressing Ford's Playboy visit.
The Democrats are the most un-colorblind people I have ever seen. They are OBSESSED with race and the color of people's skin.
I think it's racist of them to suggest that the thought of a relationship between a black person and a white person is itself racist.
The first black president and Hillary shouldn't be photographed and seen together, then...
Yeah, but black males with white girl-friends really pi$$ off the black females.
I think it said MEETING, not making.
This RNC ad is referring to Harold Ford attending a party at the Playboy mansion. The libs would complain no matter what the ethnicity the woman. If she is white it is (in their minds) racist because they are appealing to the white hatred of interracial relationships. If she is black then it would be considered racist because they would be portraying black women as slutty and promiscuous. Bottom line, the libs cannot defend Ford attending a Playboy party so they attack anyone that raises the issue as racist. The same reasons that they attacked the Willie Horton ads as racist. Once again the NAACP charges racism to deflect criticism of the dems.
Some people call them technicolor couples.
