McCain’s campaign is dancing around an excellent campaign theme; and that is that the media has created Obama’s candidacy, like the television show created the Monkees. He (McCain) needs to sharpen it more and present it as an attack on an unethical media that won’t look like cheap shots at Obama personally. Obama’s campaign has become a marketing event by partisan ‘journalism’ and he’s just going along for the free ride. Obama should never be blamed (or credited) with engineering the PR hysteria that’s engulfed his candidacy; even he couldn’t afford the kind of coverage the press is giving him. It’s not his fault.
I admit to watching a few minutes of hardball,and i have your answer from that rachel woman.... “just like with harold ford, bambi and two white women”....that is all they need! mind blowing.

If I passed the guy on the street, I would not identify him as black.
Gotta love it: Blacks Angered By Harold Ford Jr.s Bride Choice
Yep. Ford looks like a “young White man”.
"pathetic" says it all for me.
Obama is not the President yet. What does he mean by "all those other Presidents"?
Well, they forgot to attack McCain on that other white fear. The prejudice of a black man with a blond woman. I’m sure the Times or someone else on the left will run with that one eventually.
LOL. Good catch.
Ugh, my brain hurts from trying to wrap itself around these insane liberal rantings! And from a formerly “respected” newspaper???
A racial attack with Britney and Paris? What???????????????
Thanks, but in fairness the credit goes to the Instapundit for catching it first. I can’t take credit for it. The source is www.instapundit.com It’s a good aggregate done by Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds. Daily must read for me, just like FR is.
Every time I think the NY Times bozos have shown the depths of their depravity and dementia, they come back to show they can sink lower still. Now McCain is simply not ‘allowed’ to criticize the divine Obambi, because ANYTHING you say about the Obamanator can be twisted and distorted into something said to hint remotely of something ‘racial’.......
F*** these jokers. They need to be crushed, period, driven from public life forever, total disgrace.
Don’t be so dumb.
ANY critcism of Obama is, by definition, racist.
Or at least, that’s what any Obama supporter will tell you.
The really obnoxious part of this whole argument is that liberals assume such "subliminal racism" works, because thero are soooo many of us evil white rednecks who will recoil at the thought of a black man with a white woman. Talk about being stuck in the 1930s! To people like the New York Times editors, there are folks walking around the streets of Nashville in white sheets and hoods, and lynchings are a regular occurrence everywhere outside of New York City.
So just HOW did a black man get to be the Democratic nominee for President in such a horribly racist country?
You know, I think it might be worth some money and some screaming by the liberal media for McCain to come out with a new ad that talks about Barack Obama and simply shows an empty picture frame. The narrator should then say “this is supposed to be a picture of Barack Obama. But the New York Times says it’s racist to actually show his picture in an ad. So we’ll just tell you that he’s wrong for America. Not because he’s black, but because he’s inexperienced, insincere, and incapable of telling you what he really means.”
Good idea!! If the McCain campaign doesn’t do something like that soon we should suggest it to 3rd party groups (527s etc.) that might work up a good ad on that basis. If well executed it really could be a very effective message.
Who ya gonna believe? The NY Times or your lying ears?
** suggesting to voters that hes nothing more than a bubble-headed, publicity-seeking celebrity.**
Well, isn’t he? Obamanation, that is.
“The more that Obama claims to be a victim of racism, the less “post-racial” he becomes, and the more he becomes the candidate for the the black people. And therefore, the less white votes he will get.”
Which is precisely why the New York Slimes and their ilk will put the white guilt campaign into overdrive going into the election...If McCain begins to move ahead in the polls (I doubt it as they are ridiculously biased), this will reach absurd proportions.
Too funny. The NYT didn’t like the Harold Ford ad that only ran on the news and on the internet? They thought that was racist? hahahahahahahaha. That wasn’t racist. It hit the mark, and it was the best political ad I’ve seen in years. roflol
I haven’t watched the Britney/Paris ad. I don’t want to be disappointed that it doesn’t meet up to my high expectations.
I want to see t-shirts with President Obama’s “Alfred E. Neuman” mug superimposed on a dollar bill.
Oh please.
And I don't recall the NYet Times taking the LA Weekly to task for portraying Condi Rice as a gansta thug with gold teeth.
This is an ugly campaign alright becuase Stalinists in the media are doing their dammedist to denounce anyone who stands opposed to the Obamessiah.
