There's nothing racists in that ad, and that guys face was camo not black. And even if it was black what the hell would that mean? I copuld see if they called Harold a porch monkey or something but this is stupid. You libtards will do anythig to scream racism. I can't event keep up with all the new rules for what you can and can't say. It's all stupid so you can all just go jump in the creek. I'm gonna say what I want.
I didn't see race mentioned or even implied by any of the people speaking. There were both whites and blacks being interviewed. Why are you looking for racism where it doesn't exist? Hysterical cries of racism like this are detrimental to race relations, not beneficial, because they totally dilute the whole meaning of the word "racism".
The chick who ask him to call her looks like a skank, crackhead hooker. Maybe they were trying to say he likes nasty women. That woman looked really nasty.
Just because a black woman happens to say he is handsome, doesn't mean that they are making a statement about black women in general. The conclusions do not have a strong foundation.
Ok, let me first say that I'm a very liberal person.
I really don't think this ad was real. The part about the porn producers and all that? No one would put that in a real ad.
You're making liberals look bad, try not to smear people, but instead engage them in open discussion. You might learn something no matter what side of the issue you are on, as long as you're willing to listen.
I disagree. Liberals make themselves look bad. They after all always call conservitives racist. When all else fails say that. If a person diagree's on obama they are automaticly racist. That is a fact. liberals do it all to often, they are the mane callers.
You're an idiot. Google this ad their was a controversy especially about the white women because it was playing to off racist stereotypes. This guy is informed, you're the one who is not. Maybe you should get informed and stop pretending you're liberal.
That ad isn't wacist! You lyign facist black loving murderer. You eftist queer lie about the reality of the world, and smear those that dare tell the truth Harod ford was a pron loving ass clown who partied at the playboy mansion. These people protrayed thypival white floozy ho stereotype that hangs out at the whore site in LA. Its telling the truth not a smear, unlike the smears of the left its an accurated protryal of an idiot and those that lieke to hang out witht hem. the perveted ford.
Republican hatred revealing itself again. Good thing that loser poor excuse for a political party lost the 08' election to the only real American political party out there....
Well surprise, surprise. What a difference two years can make. The big, bad ass Republican party is a mere shell of its former self. That ad is nothing compared to what they tried to do to Obama. Now they're stuck with the southern bigots and the angry white men as America and the younger generation has moved on and left them in the dust. Stay angry and stupid, Republicans, and stay irrelevant in 21st century America! Serves you right, you pieces of shit.
dsf3g, you must be the real racist, baiting people with that language. You can argue that this ad not effective, or even stoops to low-blows, but there is absolutely no racism in it. By seeing racism where there is none, you prove yourself to be the one hyper-sensitive to race. YOU are the problem.
You are being hypersensitive, but hypersensitivity to perceived racism is endemic to american culture. Hint: stop reinforcing 17th century categorisations of people and the divisions that they define will cease to exist.
Wait, I got it. People are voting this clip down because a) They hate it, and think it actually exemplifies repub. racism or b)they dont think it does, and the title was misleading. (Same logic applied to rating it good) However, I think this video and title were a parody of what stereotypical liberals do to conservative ads and opinions, but i'll ask dsf3g.
@trwent Being Canadian it sure doesn't seem like we are up to nothing. We do have many troops in Afghanistan for example. Really strange that North Korea would come up in this type of ad.
or if you did not vote for obama you are a racist. Some of these points were a bit wrong, but they way obummer ( aka token, affirmative action, obama) put crap on mcain that is pathetic.
While the ad, which you can watch without the race-baiting trash commentary elsewhere, is in no way racist, reading the poster's phony translation shows you who is behind whatever racial divisions still exist in this country. Racial strife in the 21st century is not coming from Republicans, it's coming from leftwingers who follow their KKK Democrat forebears in stirring up racial division, only today with phony racism charges. Only real racism should be pointed out, not inventions like this.
This commentary shows why so many Democrats are horrible rotten disgusting people you should never ever vote for. I remember this phony controversy. There was nothing at all racist in this ad, you can find it unedited somewhere. The rightwingers in Tennessee wanted to make fun of Ford ( a great Democrat by the way) for going to a Playboy party. So a semi-hot girl comes on and says she met him there. She was white, like most Playboy whores. Nothing racist at all, Demos = rotten.
It's obvious the ad was to curtail the white vote from Harold Ford. The only black person in the ad was a black women portrayed as dumb for simply voting for the man not the issues. All the other people who brought up the issues were white who were concerned about estate tax, marriage tax and gun control, white people issues. The white women who apparently wanted to sleep with Harold Ford was the cherry on top as there are probably still many in Tennessee who are uncomfortable with racial mixing
What a joke - notice how liberals never address the issues under scrutiny, but instead raise spurious victim claims to put you off-balance? (so many important issues were raised in this ad, and fairly represented too).
Racism is meaningless when people see it in everything? How about this, is it racist to accuse a white person or group of racism with no more evidence than the crap argued above?
I think so.
This ad was funny, issues-focused, and sensitive to the concerns of voters.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Harold Ford lost so get over it.Slavery was the best thang that could have ever happen to you black people in America.If it wasn't for slavery you would be back in africa with a bone sticking out ur nose and black women would be toppless with fruit on their heads.
Harold Ford is more than two thrids white himself. In most countries where you have the white/balck divide, (Cuba, Brazil, parts of Africa and the Carribbean) he would be considered white.
So cut the "they're being racist" B.S. The man not only is more white than black, he comes froma well established political family and is a sitting congressman.
I don't know where you get those facts but in this country when someone was even 1/8 black they were considered "colored" and during slaves days would've been sold. After slavery during jim crow laws a person at least 1/8 had to suffer the injustice of segregation. Your trying to tell me that in some ass backwards ex-confederate state like TN they don't see that curly hair and ever so slight tan as having some nigger in him. Bullshit! I wish there was no racism but I'm not that naive.
Nice histroyonics, but a guy of his stature TODAY not in 1865 can get a wink from just about anyone in Tennessee and it shouldn't raise racial animous. As I've just said, oone of his parents is white if not then for sure one of his grandparents is white and another one or more half white.
A US Congressman can't (looking more Caucasian than Barak Obama) can't date a whitewoman? Bullshit! People made a federal case out of a toiletpaper cut. This ad was harmless!
That's not the point with thisn particular guy. He's so white that obviously there was white black interracial mixing in his bloodline if not at his parents level, at his grand parents level. The man has green eyes and could "pass" anyday.
Fact is he's so light he could date whoever he wants. If it were a darker guy then Maaaaybe, but whith a guy who's visibly more white than black I really don't see the racial issue. Genetically speaking he could have blonde haired blue eyed kids.
So one can argue that the republicans are wrong, or right, or whatever.
But the creator of this video decided that because one of the people happens to be black, she's a character of "a black" and represents them. He also decided that anyone who opposes Ford does so for his race. Here is a thought: Some people, just like in Martin Luther King's dream, look at the values of people, regardless of the person's gender or skin color. Not everything is racist.
Canada can take care of King Il Jong? Hey asshole, Dick Chaney sold North Korea nuclear technology in the 80s when he was a chairman of a European Energy Company. United Energy Company or Concern I think it was.
You are a moron. There's nothing racist about this commercial. In fact the racist bits were added by you! "White women love Harold Ford" is racist. Then YOU ASSUMED that the hunter was in black-face.
You're either too naive to see it or you see it and won't admit it. When some blond bimbo implies that she's into some guy who's part black it brings back memories of the scary nigger coming to rape your white women. To kill a mocking bird? Guess who's coming to dinner? They may be movies but they were based on real life scenarios. Back in '83 when my mother, a white women brought a black man (my father) to meet her parents it took some getting use to to say the least.
You said, "When some blond bimbo implies that she's into some guy who's part black it brings back memories of the scary nigger coming to rape your white women."
You are a racist, and you don't even see it. Just like the person who made this, you are trying to see something which isn't there.
This whole thing is utter garbage.
This ad does not portray anything that the "annotator" mentions.
The hunter in the ad is confused for being in "blackface".
America has got race issuies that are very profound. America generally is and likes being ignorant. this is the truth but ignorants will call anyone who says this unamerican.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL nice "analysis." Stupid liberals are the only ones who find racism anywhere and everywhere they need to find it. I bet you also thought that the Hillary Clinton 3 A.M. ad was "raaaaacist."
will you think for one minute about the white woman factor? it's not racist at all. Had the woman been black, there would have been ten times as much outrage, because a hack like you would say, "you see, they're calling attention to the fact he's a black man by showing he likes black women." There's no doubt its a low blow but the point was to make him look immoral.
No, the point was to exploit old-school fears among southern whites about miscegenation. This was for the "we gotta keep those niggers away from our women" crowd.
dude, it's too early on to be talking about polls. this is june. the election is november. your golden boy obama is going to get beat down by the GOP before then. he's got a lot of shady business to hide and they will exploit it. rezko, race-baiting book, rev. wright, etc. and re: socialism -- the guy is on par with trotsky, lenin, guevara, marx, etc. big gov't, rob from the rich and give to the poor, etc. get real. obama is as unelectable as osama. oh, same religion too! hilarious.
what am i wrong about? get used to it. you're probably just a college student with your first whiff of political excitement and you happened to pick the black radical. sorry, but socialists don't make it to the presidency, not in this country. you and your black liberation theorist are about to be denied.
i'm sorry but what you're saying is very naive. my feelings are what they are but they're not playing a role in this. you're blinded with obamaphilia. the general election is where types like obama come back down to earth. he's got a ton of negatives, many more than mccain has. "GOD DAMN AMERICA!" hillary supporters definitely are organized and mobilized and will turn out against obama, book it. he's got blacks and white-guilt dems on his side. not enough by a long shot. doofy dems at it again.
no, it's not my feelings. it's the lessons history has taught us. bob barr is about as relevant to this campaign as my dog is to the berlin wall. people may be switching to the D party, which you claim but i've never heard before, but disenfranchised and PO'd hillary supporters are voting against obama in droves. he will get barely any hispanic votes. and republicans, moderate and conservative, will not vote for obama. i'm sorry but a socialist can't win the presidency. wait i'm not sorry.
that's the thing about the dem. party, though. in the past 40 years, with the exception of bill clinton, they haven't had any success. carter got in b/c of watergate. lbj because kennedy was shot. they nominate losers because they're a fractured party. obama is not as strong a candidate as people think. he's got race, rev. wright, socialistic politics, and inexperience all working against him. primaries can lead supporters of a candidate into a false sense of security. and it's happening here.
lol. first up, in case you were unaware, obama has had the national media in his pocket FOR HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN. the ass-kissing has been unbearable and unbelievable. next i see you mentioned kerry. as i recall, he had his butt handed to him pretty easily, too. i wonder if you are familiar with the failed campaigns of such persons as mcgovern and dukakis. give it time. the GOP machine will have its way with this angry radical.
that's because he's a better choice. and i'm sure he gets more than 96% -- where'd that stat come from, anyway? -- he'll carry the hispanic vote easily.
naturally this is coming from an obama supporter, so it's coming from behind some rose-colored glasses. obama won't win the south because the south is largely 1) white and 2) republican. he sure as hell won't win FL after the shoddy, dismissive way he treated the voters here. he'll win a little of the northeast, some western states, and that will be it. he's going to get shut down for a variety of reasons in other states. i'm not nuts about mccain, but he's our next president. book it.
Good analysis - it's called subliminal messaging where people who watch it will not get it, but subconsciously, emotionally, the message will resonate with them. Obviously, a psychologist-type made the commercial.
dumb yankees,oops oxymoron -find racism everywhere except where it really is-jesse,rev wright,al,obama-yell racism if light turns red and remembered it was green for white man last week,white man fries at mcdonalds appear to have a couple more than yours or black man enters bathroom stall and sits down and finds no toilet paper thinks a whiteman used it up on purpose to give him hardship-grow up please-democrats want to keep blacks poor and uneducated in public schools cause dummys vote democrat
1:05 The article actually says that cable companies who make large profits by offering pay-per-view porn are also large contributors to the RNC...not to say that Republicans should take the money, but the ad is about the fact that Ford did too.
I don't think the commercial's racist. There's nothing racist about a stupid person who's also black. It's not like an Aunt Jemima-like woman was supporting Harold Ford.
Your other points are very good, though. From seeing this commercial I think I would have voted for Harold Ford.
objectivist888 - Can we stop with that cliched Benjamin Franklin quote? It just makes me want to throw up when I see it now, because it's used as a substitute for a coherent debate.
indeed. just like this stupid vid. why did I even watch it? I live in Kentucky and had seen the ad numerous times. Just a bunch of the typical crap you see around election time.
Black woman likes Harold Ford--it's racist. White woman likes Harold Ford--it's racist. What do you want them to do, put up an Asian? Ridiculous accusation.
What's the big deal about this ad? Harold goes to a party at the Playboy mansion, and they bring it up in the ad. If it doesn't matter, like some of you liberals are insinuating, then it won't matter to the voters. It did matter, as it turned out, and that's the voters perogative.
Can we stop with that cliched Benjamin Franklin quote? It just makes me want to throw up when I see it now, because it's used as a substitute for a coherent debate.
Some of the the comments may have been bigoted, but the guy talking about guns wasn't in blackface. He was supposed to be a hunter, and hunters sometimes blacken their faces for camouflage purposes.
dsf3g--- Basic reality check for you: Making negative comments about certain issues concerning an opponent does NOT constitute bigotry or racial prejudice. Example- Barak Obama is in my opinion WAY too liberal to be president. Notice how his race was not mentioned. Now,(and I don't) if I was to say Obama won't get my vote because negroes can't run the country, that would be bigotry. Get a clue, you paranoid chip on your shoulder ASSHOLE.
whoever made this video made it hard to understand any points made because it was cut away after every sentence. you ruined the commercial. i could figure for myself if it's racist, the blow by blow took away the momentum
The Party of Segregation and Slavery and today the Party of Al Sharpton and John Conyers and Maxine Waters wants to challenge the GOP to a racial slugfest ? Bring it on !!!!!!

How can the republicans want a colour blind society and make a film like this
tristrontium 3 years ago
It's obvious the ad was to curtail the white vote from Harold Ford. The only black person in the ad was a black women portrayed as dumb for simply voting for the man not the issues. All the other people who brought up the issues were white who were concerned about estate tax, marriage tax and gun control, white people issues. The white women who apparently wanted to sleep with Harold Ford was the cherry on top as there are probably still many in Tennessee who are uncomfortable with racial mixing

What a joke - notice how liberals never address the issues under scrutiny, but instead raise spurious victim claims to put you off-balance? (so many important issues were raised in this ad, and fairly represented too).
Racism is meaningless when people see it in everything? How about this, is it racist to accuse a white person or group of racism with no more evidence than the crap argued above?
I think so.
This ad was funny, issues-focused, and sensitive to the concerns of voters.

Ot is racist. You miss a few of the slurs because you are either to pilite to mention them or they went under your radar.
These ads are designed to be as distasteful as possible wityhout you noticing.
They are supposed to leave you disliking the target but not being really sure why you don't like them.

Harold Ford is more than two thrids white himself. In most countries where you have the white/balck divide, (Cuba, Brazil, parts of Africa and the Carribbean) he would be considered white.
So cut the "they're being racist" B.S. The man not only is more white than black, he comes froma well established political family and is a sitting congressman.
He doesn't need your tears!

I don't know where you get those facts but in this country when someone was even 1/8 black they were considered "colored" and during slaves days would've been sold. After slavery during jim crow laws a person at least 1/8 had to suffer the injustice of segregation. Your trying to tell me that in some ass backwards ex-confederate state like TN they don't see that curly hair and ever so slight tan as having some nigger in him. Bullshit! I wish there was no racism but I'm not that naive.
mrbuddy0008 3 years ago
Nice histroyonics, but a guy of his stature TODAY not in 1865 can get a wink from just about anyone in Tennessee and it shouldn't raise racial animous. As I've just said, oone of his parents is white if not then for sure one of his grandparents is white and another one or more half white.
A US Congressman can't (looking more Caucasian than Barak Obama) can't date a whitewoman? Bullshit! People made a federal case out of a toiletpaper cut. This ad was harmless!

That's not the point with thisn particular guy. He's so white that obviously there was white black interracial mixing in his bloodline if not at his parents level, at his grand parents level. The man has green eyes and could "pass" anyday.
Fact is he's so light he could date whoever he wants. If it were a darker guy then Maaaaybe, but whith a guy who's visibly more white than black I really don't see the racial issue. Genetically speaking he could have blonde haired blue eyed kids.

So one can argue that the republicans are wrong, or right, or whatever.
But the creator of this video decided that because one of the people happens to be black, she's a character of "a black" and represents them. He also decided that anyone who opposes Ford does so for his race. Here is a thought: Some people, just like in Martin Luther King's dream, look at the values of people, regardless of the person's gender or skin color. Not everything is racist.

You're either too naive to see it or you see it and won't admit it. When some blond bimbo implies that she's into some guy who's part black it brings back memories of the scary nigger coming to rape your white women. To kill a mocking bird? Guess who's coming to dinner? They may be movies but they were based on real life scenarios. Back in '83 when my mother, a white women brought a black man (my father) to meet her parents it took some getting use to to say the least.

This whole thing is utter garbage.
This ad does not portray anything that the "annotator" mentions.

will you think for one minute about the white woman factor? it's not racist at all. Had the woman been black, there would have been ten times as much outrage, because a hack like you would say, "you see, they're calling attention to the fact he's a black man by showing he likes black women." There's no doubt its a low blow but the point was to make him look immoral.

arequipa1 3 years ago
i'm sorry but what you're saying is very naive. my feelings are what they are but they're not playing a role in this. you're blinded with obamaphilia. the general election is where types like obama come back down to earth. he's got a ton of negatives, many more than mccain has. "GOD DAMN AMERICA!" hillary supporters definitely are organized and mobilized and will turn out against obama, book it. he's got blacks and white-guilt dems on his side. not enough by a long shot. doofy dems at it again.
arequipa1 3 years ago
no, it's not my feelings. it's the lessons history has taught us. bob barr is about as relevant to this campaign as my dog is to the berlin wall. people may be switching to the D party, which you claim but i've never heard before, but disenfranchised and PO'd hillary supporters are voting against obama in droves. he will get barely any hispanic votes. and republicans, moderate and conservative, will not vote for obama. i'm sorry but a socialist can't win the presidency. wait i'm not sorry.
arequipa1 3 years ago
that's the thing about the dem. party, though. in the past 40 years, with the exception of bill clinton, they haven't had any success. carter got in b/c of watergate. lbj because kennedy was shot. they nominate losers because they're a fractured party. obama is not as strong a candidate as people think. he's got race, rev. wright, socialistic politics, and inexperience all working against him. primaries can lead supporters of a candidate into a false sense of security. and it's happening here.
arequipa1 3 years ago
lol. first up, in case you were unaware, obama has had the national media in his pocket FOR HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN. the ass-kissing has been unbearable and unbelievable. next i see you mentioned kerry. as i recall, he had his butt handed to him pretty easily, too. i wonder if you are familiar with the failed campaigns of such persons as mcgovern and dukakis. give it time. the GOP machine will have its way with this angry radical.
arequipa1 3 years ago
that's because he's a better choice. and i'm sure he gets more than 96% -- where'd that stat come from, anyway? -- he'll carry the hispanic vote easily.
arequipa1 3 years ago
naturally this is coming from an obama supporter, so it's coming from behind some rose-colored glasses. obama won't win the south because the south is largely 1) white and 2) republican. he sure as hell won't win FL after the shoddy, dismissive way he treated the voters here. he'll win a little of the northeast, some western states, and that will be it. he's going to get shut down for a variety of reasons in other states. i'm not nuts about mccain, but he's our next president. book it.

I don't think the commercial's racist. There's nothing racist about a stupid person who's also black. It's not like an Aunt Jemima-like woman was supporting Harold Ford.

dsf3g--- Basic reality check for you: Making negative comments about certain issues concerning an opponent does NOT constitute bigotry or racial prejudice. Example- Barak Obama is in my opinion WAY too liberal to be president. Notice how his race was not mentioned. Now,(and I don't) if I was to say Obama won't get my vote because negroes can't run the country, that would be bigotry. Get a clue, you paranoid chip on your shoulder ASSHOLE.
