[Leonidus82]

How stupid do these people think we are? This has nothing to do with race!

[gikib0i]

They were trying to subconsciously attack the taboo of White women and black men

[fuckronaldreagan]

@Leonidus82 congrats! you passed american history in the US! and you grew up in the eighties...smh

[groveZee]

you ppl are stupid he picked the celebritys that ppl know about the most. DUH!!!

[unouluvme912]

It's odd they sneer at Obama's "celebrity," when every Republican's favorite Republican, Ronald Reagan, was, in fact, A CELEBRITY. Really. He was an actor.

of course people are excited about Obama. Obama is the first black person to be backed by a major party. Not that people support him because of it, just that this is clearly history being made and people want to be there for it. McC is a respectable candidate, but he's an old white guy running for president. nothing we haven't seen before.

[subprime2006]

There is nothing wrong for a "white guy" running for President. Our country has become great because of them. John McCain is qualify for being a President due to his reckless behaviors. He is a proven liar, he will say anything just to be elected. mccain has no moral value and integrity. He is going to die soon but he also wants to take our country with him.

McCain is an old man who is losing his minds due to ALZHEIMER.

[unouluvme912]

no, there is nothing wrong with a white guy running for president. just that it's not exactly ground-breaking. But they're not the only reason our country is great - women and other races have had a lot to do with it as well.

agreed that McCain is a liar and without integrity.

[kutriNEEmaa]

"McCain is qualify"?

He is losing his "minds"?

"Alzheimer"?

Looks like your the one who has Alzheimer's.

[jmeri]

Hmmm! I can see your side here slightly. However I think in this case they would have used to a little more respected white women! Why did they use to punching bags? Why because they know people have accepted and projected an inhuman amount of negative energy regarding them. I pretty much know how the mind works when it comes to people and the media now. I know exactly why they used Paris & Britney. The only hint of race would be to focus on image, but they offset that using two blondes.

[jmeri]

That is what they were trying to do with Obama. Unfortunately the use of two white girls takes it past the race plane and all the way down to the facilitation of hatred and negative energy, which I stated in my first post. Don't be so blind to just see this as a race issue because you were foreseeing that issue in the first place. If it were simply race, Obama would not have made it this far. The fact that the liberal media established this hatred for Bush tells the whole story alone.

[unouluvme912]

I think it was Bush and his horrible administration that established the hatred for Bush.

[jmeri]

Just to finish my thoughts here, is that hatred and judgement are rooted below racism. Unfortunately just getting caught up in the racism label isn't going to solve the root of the problem and that is judgement, labeling. The republicans were simply trying to use the liberal media's own tactics against them. They know the media has played a huge part in destroying Britney, and that because of this people are capable of seeing human beings as something as shallow as a single image.

[jmeri]

I don't see where race comes into play here because most of all two white girls are being sacrificed here. It's more a facilitation of hatred and negative energy people have wrongly openly accepted regarding Paris & Britney that McCain used them to try to project this negative energy upon.

[suns404]

It definitely wasn't racist but what the hell do you mean that people have been affected by this exact, specific ad. Are you saying because of this ad, white people in the south are joining the kkk and wanting to kill black people? I understand that there was open racism in the past but I have no idea what connection you're trying to make here.

[HighLarious]

"Joining the KKK and wanting to kill black people" is not the only manifestation of racism. It just happens to be one of the more obvious ones. And racism, whether "open" or hidden, is just as destructive.

[Hollybollie3]

Why is that people supporitng Obama always have to bring up race and McCain never does?

[ProlefeedTV]

Because McCain and his supporters do it INDIRECTLY. Race was the whole point of the infamous Willie Horton ad - scare white people of black people, yet is was indirect. Republicans are still doing it 20 years later.

Pay attention.

[suns404]

I know, Obama always says how McCain is going to say something racist but he never does

[EvolutionStratus]

This was politically stupid of McCain. Reasons are two; Like Paris Hilton or not, she is one of the most looked-upto girls in the US having fans that are 18 year old girls who are registered voters. To diss Paris in his ad would cause a lot of those young women to turn against him. Second reason is that the Hilton family are republicans and have donated money to his campaign. I doubt they will now given that he's insulted one of them.

[jmeri]

I don't know that this was stupid in regards to peoples tendencies, however it was 100% evil. Unfortunately I have gotten in many arguements about this that can see no evil in exploiting two ladies that had nothing at all to do with the situation, and facilitating people's tendencies to hate, judge and project negative energy. That's why I know it's rooted way deeper than simply race. Focusing on race isn't going to solve the problem it's just going to mask it.

[wade2bosh]

WTF...2 women 1 man = racism...wtf...obama is playin the race card on a non issue

[blmoodring]

What about mccain making out with Britney Spears? That makes hi a hypocrite.

[HighLarious]

AntiConformist911 is right. The McCain campaign knows its audience, and there are certain things it can say without actually saying them. If a "race card" is invisible, is it still a race card?

[larrylive23]

Genuise!!

[ABrady21]

That is the most absurd assertion I've heard to date. You have to be kidding that some idiot out there is thinking there's even a hint of racism in the ad. What the ad is showing is two ditzy girls without a clue, that have the media hounding them religiously. Paris Hilton is good for absolutely nothing. She can't act or sing at all. At least Britney Spears is a singer/dancer (who is thankfully pulling herself together). Again, I don't see an ounce of racism in that ad ANYWHERE.

[Innamorata1]

ehehehehe see you at the debates right wong bitches, even if you are men bitches ehehehe Obama to win I have one left int he foot McCain to white haire dude guy retire to your cocoa and slippers ehehehe see you bitches

[youryorel]

You have to dig pretty deep to find racism in all this. What a bogus issue. This is going to backfire on Obama. I hope they keep it up.

[mildseven2006]

If I thought Obama was fucking Paris and Britney I'd vote for him twice!

[NavyCop20070221]

I think it i bull shit and of course the liberal elitest media will side with Obama. WHY CAN'T AMERICANS SEE THAT?! Of course the media is controlled and run by liberals, so who will they side with? It's so simple...yet sodifficult for intelligent people to grasp.

The ad wasn't racist. Only these liberal Obama-nuts keep bringing up race, no one else...

[GOlynnGO]

If you live by identity politics, you die by identity politics. Only liberals seem so obsessed with race in this race...
