Some N.C. TV Stations Refuse To Air Anti-Obama Commercial

Any ad attacking Obama will be considered racist !
Thats the media strategy to get him elected.
The local media leftist are the worst about there Obama loving !

[stuartcr]

Is this the ad that McCain said was in poor taste, and should not be aired?

[fml]

I don’t see the fuss....

[Mr. Jeeves]

It’s troubling that the media just decides something is racist because it questions the character of a black man.

Liberals believe minorities with no character still deserve to be elected/promoted/admitted/hired/acquitted/naturalized as a remedy for past discrimination. Therefore, any such ad is by definition, unfair. It's a religious doctrine, not a logical argument.

anyone supporting barrack obamma should ask what is his changes gonna look like??after all I’m a gun totting, bible believing baptist that lives in a small town and believes that he is the worst thing that could happen to AMERICA...and his wife...she’s more anti American than him...GOD forbid that he become president...He will NEVER be MY PRESIDENT!!Change? take away your right to bear arms? Increase your taxes? How will we live paying $5 a gallon for gas. Have food rationed? Its already happening folks..Open your eyes... What has this nations come to?? This is not about race..but the media is doing everything they can to shoe him in to the white house

[NCChristianmom]

this ad should be aired on all major networks...it’s not about race. It’s the facts!!! I’m a democrat and pray that Hillary or John wins...I can be proud to call either of them President....but will never call BO President..

[the Real fifi]

Mickey Kaus, a deomcrat who writes for Slate says it is a standard campaign ad. I think McCain is aiming for a high ground and publicity on the backs of the N Car Republican party, frankly.

[HappyinAZ]

GREAT idea!

[freespirited]

The RAT Racism Patrol can find racism in anything. To them the sky is racist because it’s blue, and only white people can have blue eyes.

[at bay]

No one dares utter a racist comment against blacks on tv

Nor should they utter racist comments. None existed in the ad at issue. McLame is groveling to the libs as usual on this one.

[Phantom Lord]

It is NOT an anti-Obama ad. It is an anti Purdue and Moore ad.

[Phantom Lord]

WRAL-TV and others refusing to run NCGOP ad like the 1st Amendment only when it suits them:-()

Last I checked, WRAL, nor any station is subject to the 1st Amendment.

[longtermmemmory]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK FOR THIS AD!?

[DennisR]

“WSOC-TV decided not to put the ad on television because of its implications of racism.”

So let me get this straight: if someone has skin that has darker pigment, his/her judgments, associations, opinions, and philosophies are beyond reproach? That, folks, is racism.

[Enchante]

pastor’s name is Wright..... Jeremiah Wright

I agree with you, it’s ridiculous that such a factual and innocuous ad cannot be aired

shows how desperate the left is to keep people from knowing the real Obama

ok folks the north Carolina GOP ad with NCGOP link and Youtube link and embed code stuff is on youtube. Does anyone know how to embed youtube video on FR posts?

[Williams]

Yes, I agree no one should air racist comments, and this ad is not racist. That is my point. No one would run a racist ad there is a huge protective mechanism in place.

Throughout the campaign against Senator Faircloth, John Edwards presented himself as a young, energetic, conservative, "new" Democrat. He got elected and then promptly went up to Washington, not to represent NC, but to further his own ambitions to be POTUS.
