CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A controversial commercial making headlines across the country is getting turned away from some TV stations in North Carolina.
WSOC-TV decided not to put the ad on television because of its implications of racism. WSOC-TV believes it is inappropriate to air. It questions Barack Obama's patriotism and judgment.
The ad also said Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore should not be North Carolina's next governor because they endorsed Obama.
Republicans and democrats across the country said the commercial should not air, but North Carolina's Republican Party refuses to pull it.

Yup. This is the notice.
Perfect example, I know McCain criticized the local, state and federal responses to Katrina. I just heard a radio news spot lead off story, saying McCain "squarely" put the blame on Bush, even had a McCain quote which didn't name Bush and was referring to the whole response, but you couldn't tell that. No mention of the failed state response, which is why the governor didn't even run again and they have a republican now.
These same broadcasters won’t have any trouble airing commercials about McCain’s senility, PTSD spells and daily need of prune juice.
Hey, McCain is VISIBLY disabled from 6 years of beatings in captivity, and they ran a story questioning his disability payments.
“But these same tv stations will promote gay agendas, anti-christian comedy shows, sex, and anything else one considers disgusting.”
Wow that’s a good point. You can’t turn on the TV without absolute filth (the add for the disgusting Tina Fey movie “Baby Mama” for instance) bombarding you at every turn. I literally can’t watch tv while I eat because of the number of poop/fart jokes on commercials and tv shows.
Exactly. The age commercials are airing but no one in the MSM will dare call that age discrimination.
Horrifying, but not shocking. It’s troubling that the media just decides something is racist because it questions the character of a black man. I’ve heard the ad on the radio and I don’t think it mentions a single thing about race. That won’t stop the media from carrying water for their man, though.
“McCain’s Age May Figure in Choice of a Running Mate”

Concur completely!
But hey.....anti-Bush ads are aired all the time, in fact they are encouraged.
“NC-GOP to McCain, stick it where the sun don't shine”
I'm sending them a donation imediately.
I guess they feel the add is racist because the public knows what a racist Williams is.
Pure liberal media bias and censorship.
Disagree. I like and respect Lauch Faircloth. He was a fine Senator. Unfortunately, he was demonized by the left.
You can see a racist, therefore the add is racist. At least thats the liberal media's logic.
Funny that Liberal media and television doesn't think slamming someone because of his age and white hair isn't "racist" and demeaning.
All the ad says is words to the effect, "For 20 years, Barack Obama sat in a church listening to the preachings of this man."
The commercial then cuts to video tapes of Jeremiah Wright preaching in Jeremiah Wright's own words what what Jeremiah Wright preaches.
The commercial then ends by saying that the current Democrat candidate for Governor endorsed Obama making him too "extreme" for North Carolina.
That's it.
The ad mentions nothing about "judgement" or "patriotism". It merely allows the public to hear the same hate speech that Obama voluntarilly heard for 20 years.
So, basically, what these TV stations are saying is that it is racist to even point out the uncontested fact that Obama listened on Sundays for 20 years to the man that Obama himself called his spiritual mentor.
I assume you are pointing out the poor job Lauch did and in being replaced by the Breck Girl?
Anyway we need to try and put a little backbone in Burr.
nah, don’t put it on youtube. obama’s supporters have already demonstrated that they will throw down the copyright infringement charges for the more incendiary material.
I don't believe you'd want to live within a 100-mile radius of his hog farm. I knew some folks who did; it was the most fly-invested, fouled and polluted stretch of the Tarheel state. There are plenty of farming methods available to control the buildup that would go with operations his size yet he insisted on running his farm business the same way farmers did in the 19th Century. Don't like to say anything negative of those departed, but Launch was very extreme.
