[DemocratSinceBirth]

Is the Republican National Committee's playing the race card in a television ad against Rep. Harold Ford Jr., the African-American who hopes to be the first black elected to the Senate from a southern state since Reconstruction?

1. Quite appalling

If that stunt was tried in the UK the offendor would be charged with race related crime.

3. What amazes me is

that inter-racial marriage is an issue in 2006.

5. It Is To Some Republicans...

7. That's why so many people oppose immigration too

They have NO qualms about hiring undocumented workers to clean their cars, water their lawns, make their lunch, roof houses in 100+ temps.. BUT they do NOT want these people to have "real" lives.. lives that include dating, marrying, and having children..

Their biggest fear is that when all these immigrant children are in school with their "little darlings", there will be a chance of "mixing"..

It's what they fear most..

6. Amazes me too

See : http://www.yeahman.com/ Rob and Diane are married and live in SF - I was on my way to see them 9/11 but turned back mid Atlantic.

and http://www.ryanandjenny.com/ Ryan and Jenny are both english and based in the UK.
and http://www.jivinglindyhoppers.com/company.htm Russell is married to Caroline and Warren is/was? married to Maxine

Maybe I mix in odd circles i.e. music and dance, just for leisure, but even looking back over my entire life I don't recall it being much of an issue here.

10. You're right; it would be illegal here.

I am amazed at what some of the Republicans seem to get away with.

20. Speaking of interracial marriage and the UK:

This man is a future Formula One champion. He'll likely get a McLaren seat alongside Alonso.

2. It's the old racist ploy that if you give blacks a chance

they will be sleeping with your white women. Will play well in TN.

4. .

Yep, another new low.
I can only repeat myself that they just don't have any positive things to run on.

13. Beat me to itTlalocW

As long as there is sex going on where is the problem? Sex is good! Must suck to be a republican and not be able to admit that to yourself and others. B-)

14. Race Is An Artificial Construct Anyway...

And I believe 72% of American blacks have some caucasian lineage...

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. A vote for Thomas Jefferson is a vote for interracial sex...

:rofl:

Oh wait...the racists LIKE that sort of interacial sex...

[burning]

16. FOX & FRIENDS showed a reedited version of the ad today.

Apparently the RNC wasn't happy with the resistance they got when Mehlman and Snow and others explained that the ad wasn't racist but rather funny. Today on FOX & FRIENDS they rolled out a scrambled version of the ad that omitted the "Howard, Call me" clip. I guess in the Mehlman mind that makes it ok.

17. If They Take Out The Trailer Trash Blonde

If they take out the trailer trash blonde the ad goes from venal to stupid...

[Homer Wells]

18. Sounds Good to Me

Go Ford!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. "...firmly rejected any accusations that the ad uses race as a subtext..."

Well, that IS the whole tyhing about SUBtext, isn't it, Mr. RNC spokesman? It can be denied.

21. Can you really have too much interracial sex?

:shrug:

22. Then it must be working, because this white woman thinks he's attractive!

All this attention has gotten him more national coverage on shows I watch, like the Today Show. He is a handsome man.

Unfortunately, I don't live in TN, so my senate vote will be cast for Debbie Stabenow, despite her vote for torture. I'm sure as hell not voting for Bouchard!

That's the fear they are playing or preying on...
