So Obama didn't play the race card, McCain did.

The NYT jumps the shark. Again.

[rfp1234]

The most recent ad compares the presumptive Democratic nominee for president to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton — suggesting telling the truth to voters that he’s nothing more than a bubble-headed, publicity-seeking celebrity.

[hsalaw]

How on earth is comparing Obambi to two other empty headed celebrities “racist”? I don’t get it.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Obama is the hyper-race baiting huckster that Jesse could only dream of being.

Jackson is a washed up has-been.

[o_zarkman44]

There is only one President on a dollar bill Obama.
And he is dead, unfortunately.

And “DAncing With the Stars” is not a voter registration event.

[Kickass Conservative]

We are living in a Bizarro World aren't we?

The Times certainly can't let FACTS get in the way of their agenda.

I've always said that Republicans think people are smart while Democrats know people are stupid. The November election results will tell the tale.

[Mariner]

Pretzel Logic on a scale I have never before witnessed.

These people are truly insane. They should be put away for their own good.

[JustaCowgirl]

suggesting to voters that he’s nothing more than a bubble-headed, publicity-seeking celebrity.

Which, of course, is precisely what he is. Go John McCain!!

[randita]

Have the Justice Brothers weighed in on this issue yet? I hope they don’t wait long to get into the fray. We need them front and center railing against McCain while Obama keeps insisting that this campaign is not about race.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“The ad gave us an uneasy feeling that the McCain campaign was starting up the same sort of racially tinged attack on Mr. Obama that Republican operatives, some of whom work for Mr. McCain now, ran against Harold Ford, a black candidate for Senate in Tennessee in 2006. That assault, too, began with videos juxtaposing Mr. Ford with young, white women. “

What a sickening, lowbrow attack on McCain. The NYT has appointed their selves to sniff out every paranoid, conspiracy, nut job hidden meaning, from every ad run against Obama.
Sick.

[muawiyah]

The NYT is, of course suggesting that John McCain's young, adopted daughter is too dark to ever succeed as a hootchy kootchy dancer like Britney or Paris.

Say, wasn't it supposed to be the Bushies who had a nasty whispering campaign going against McCain on her account ~ some claim about him having a "negro child" ~ and here's the NYT saying she's "no good".

Someone ought to be busy and rehash that earlier situation and see if maybe it was that Sulzberger guy arranging for all those calls to be made in South Carolina.

Dollars to doughnuts it was!

[CharlesWayneCT]

In a 30-second ad, 29 seconds were talking about substantive issues.

But all the Times and Obama can think about was the momentary picture of two white girls.

[keepitreal]

The more Obama and his media minions howl about this, the more it makes Obama look like a big sissy baby. Americans don’t want a big sissy baby as the Commander in Chief.

[atomicweeder]

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.

He's committing political suicide.

[MainFrame65]

The youngsters won’t remember, but McCain’s “celebrity” ad does not really break new ground. When Ronald Reagan ran against Edmund (Pat) Brown (Father of Edmund (Jerry) Brown, known as “Governor Moonbeam”) for governor of California, Brown’s primary campaign theme was to admonish voters to choose a REAL governor instead of an ACTING governor.

Of course, Reagan won, and the “acting” epithet was laid to rest permanently in California.

[Spok]

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.

The ad gave us an uneasy feeling that the McCain campaign was starting up the same sort of racially tinged attack on Mr. Obama that Republican operatives, some of whom work for Mr. McCain now, ran against Harold Ford, a black candidate for Senate in Tennessee in 2006. That assault, too, began with videos juxtaposing Mr. Ford with young, white women.

Harold Ford and fiance Emily Threlkeld

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

[gusopol3]

It’s divisive, negative, shameful and wrong.’’

"pathetic" says it all for me.

[MovementConservative]

Mr. Obama called Mr. McCain on the ploy, saying, quite rightly, that the Republicans are trying to scare voters by pointing out that he “doesn’t look like all those other Presidents on those dollar bills.’’

Obama is not the President yet. What does he mean by "all those other Presidents"?

[GatorGirl]

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???????????????

[Enchante]

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.
