You could run this precise ad against a white candidate with the same record and it would still rock the box. It ain't exactly Willy Horton or Alex's "white hands" ad for Jesse Helms. Funny and tasteless, but in a good kind of po-mo way. Who is the guy who says "Money from porn producers? Who hasn't?" He's weirdly familiar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31970738.post-1161879141467968802006-10-26T09:12:00.000-07:002006-10-26T09:12:00.000-07:00Thanks for checking in.Racism, hmm, I think that's...Thanks for checking in.<BR/><BR/>Racism, hmm, I think that's a bit of a stretch. <BR/>Sexism? Absolutely.<BR/>Questionable taste? Sure.<BR/>But racism? Don't see it.<BR/><BR/>I'll check out the Corker radio spot.

This ad is subliminally racist. Its intended target voter is white men, telling them to, "Lock up your wives and daughters when Harold Ford is around."<BR/><BR/>They would have been only slightly more blatent if they had a Ford impersonator doing a Cleavon Little/Blazing Saddles rendition of, "Where da white womyn at?"<BR/><BR/>Will it work?? It probably will work with white men, but the unintended effect is that women may be more attracted to Ford!!<BR/><BR/>Here is a Corker radio spot. Listen for the jungle drums under the Ford parts and the Jesus soaring music under the Corker parts. Racist?? You bet. <BR/><BR/>http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/images/2006-10-25_Corker_Radio_Ad.mp3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
