Yesterday we asked "How Racist Is the Obama Phone Video?" It turns out that we didn't just need to explain the degree of the racism, but whether it was racist at all. After rallying around a video of a black woman explaining (incorrectly) that Obama had given her a free cell phone as a sure-fire way of boosting Mitt Romney's campaign ("I could see that video turned into an incredible ad. No voice over needed. Just let it play and at the end, 'I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message.' Landslide."), some folks acted outraged that we would notice that they were trading in horrendous racial stereotypes. While there are plenty of studies investigating the way racial code words are used in political advertising ("inner city," for example), this is not coded. This video, if placed in a Romney ad, would make George H.W. Bush's 1988 Willie Horton ad look subtle by comparison: the other guy is supported by scary black people, vote Republican!
The "Obama Phone" video is not being used by the Romney campaign. So we can't say that it's a racist attempt to get votes in the election. Right now, it sits in the middle ground between "stuff on the Internet" and "serious political issue." But it took one big step toward becoming a serious issue when, on the same day, Rush Limbaugh played it repeatedly on his radio show and the Drudge Report posted it at the top of his page. They'd probably call it humor? Limbaugh finds a lot of things funny about Democrats, like how fat Michelle Obama is. And an Obama voter who seems to be dumb? That's comedy gold...

Socialists are embarassed by their unrehearsed black racist supporters. That is because they are not so smart and diverse, afterall. They are snobs.
if she can be out protesting why isnt she out looking for a job?
she must be on the welfare or on the foo stam if she got her obama phow
Would you hire that individual? Twenty seconds in the interview would be over if I were the HR person or business owner.
Obviously they don't view Hardcore Pawn much.
True that. Notice also there were WHITE herders among them. One came along right after she made spoke and herded her back into line.
About every 5th black protester there was a white herder, I'm sure they were there to keep this from happening.OOPS.
I was ASTOUNDED to read yesterday that the state of Ohio has over 1 million Obamaphones - nearly one for every 7 adults in the state. Under Baraq this program has grown faster than food stamps.
Not surprised.
Every week or two, here in Florida, I get bombarded with mailers trying to “sell” me an ObamaPhone (Assurance Wireless). Not only I make too much...I am not a Democrat....and very light skinned
The way these have been pushed, not surprised 1 million in Ohio have them...and I bet the ratio of ObamaPhone users is higher in other states
Stereotypes be hard to control ... wantin’ to think of themselves as actual people and such. lol
lol. I think they picked them up outside their home base in Detroit at Hardcore Pawn, no offense to the owners of that Pawn shop the Golds.
I’ve never seen the show but I get the picture. ;^)
What is troubling is they are proud of themselves, no shame in them.
Oh yes, here in Tallahassee we are bombarded with TV ads for “Assurance wireless.” What a crock. You MUST be on disability, unemployment, welfare to even qualify for these ‘free’ phones. And they have the gall to brag about how many free minutes and texting you get! Makes me irate to see these commercials.
