Do I hear DESPERATION in this weasel? LOL

[Mo1]

NAILED THAT ONE!

[teddyballgame]

From NRO: "The mention of Playboy is a reference to reports that Ford attended a party thrown by Playboy magazine at the 2005 Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. The issue has popped up occasionally in the campaign, most recently after Ford broadcast an ad of himself in church. The National Republican Senatorial Committee responded with an ad that said, “What kind of man parties with Playboy playmates in lingerie, then films political ads from a church pew?” Ford, who has not denied attending the event, has tried to avoid talking about it. Appearing on ABC, he said, “I’ve never been to a Playboy mansion party,” apparently referring to the famed Playboy house in California, not the Super Bowl party in Florida. Now that another ad making reference to the party, this one produced by the RNC, has appeared, the Corker campaign has released a statement saying that Corker “believes this new ad has no place in this, or any other campaign.”

[MaryFromMichigan]

The Republican National Committee paid for that ad?

Funny stuff!

[meanie monster]

lololol

[GregH]

Hahahaha... this is a super ad, no wonder Ford is upset as he knows he is going to lose the election. Great job RNC guys, a funny ad!

[Corin Stormhands]

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[Cubs Fan]

racism defined- what a liberal yells when they can't get their way.

Good ad. Glad to see a republican somewhere has some cajones. That's a rare thing these days.

[Mo1]

That ad could be use for the whole DNC

[alice_in_bubbaland]

LOL! Very Funny and not at all racist. Ford is loosing it and I'd guess he's not ready for prime time.

[musikman]

Love the ending where the blonde is saying "call me".

[NeoCaveman]

A great deconstuction of the briliant ad here:

[teddyballgame]

That is a great deconstruction. Racist?!? Hah, Ford can't take a joke. The Memphis meltdown continues...

[Centurion2000]

bump for later

[FreePaul]

Harold Ford screaming:
"I'm the only one allowed to play the race card."

[Brilliant]

That is hillarious.

Racist? Ummm, sure, Harold.

Ford and family values. sarc

[NeoCaveman]

When Ford crashed the Corker press conference, he jumped the shark. It's almost time to put this in the safe column and send the money to Ohio.

[Dane]

LOL! That ad is hilarious.

No wonder harold ford hates it, comedy is truth, and the truth in this ad hurts harold ford.

[Darnright]

Ok, I watched it (now that's funny!). Where's the racism?

[popdonnelly]

Collectively, Democrat politicians would be hard-pressed to come up with a single principle.

[capitoltex]

Here's Ford's House floor meltdown:

[rintense]

Hysterical!!!!

[007girl]

I saw that ad at lunch yesterday and could not stop laughing! Last week, I was behind his big ol' party...I mean campaign bus on my way home for lunch and noticed all these Ford signs along the street, and they were not there before. The following day, all the signs were gone! hahahaaa

[slowhand520]

"How is it "racist"?

Because in the liberal lexicon words like "appearance" and "Looks Like" are synonymous with bigot and racist

[pabianice]

ANY criticism by a conservative of a black Liberal is "racism." LOL!

[PEACE ENFORCER]

Did you know this guy (Fake Ford) who claimed to be a Lawyer.......
.
.
DIDN'T EVEN PASS HIS BAR EXAM !!!!!

[EmilyGeiger]

I scrolled down to read the response by the Alabama Coalition(?) The response to the racism issue was well written, well worth the extra reading. It's highlighted in the responses on you-tube.

[ElPatriota]

Saw the website...

***FANCY * FORD!... Now that IS a name!... He appears to be a man of "taste" and "style." - LOL

[6SJ7]

"Sure he's taken money from porn producers, but who hasnt?"

Most political ads are dry with a serious voiceover droning on about the opposition candidate. This ad is funny! More ads like this, please!

[Hoodat]

ROFLMAO!!!

We need more ads like this. Rove is a genius!

[fellowpatriot]

I can't see the video, all I get is a blue question mark. Does anybody know what that means?

[jennyjenny]

Very funny! Racist??

[litehaus]

“I’ve never been to a Playboy mansion party,”

THAT fits my local rags motto of: 'Merely to tell the truth' .....they do, just seldom the Whole truth....St.Pete Times....in the tradition of the NY Slimes....

[kinghorse]

I heard the guy on TV when he was cornered pretty much come out and say "Hey Republicans are hypocrites about morality so why can't I be one too? that's basically his message. The one of the pre-pubescent boy who declares he can do (insert bad behavior here) because the other boys are doing it. This guy is exhibit A of what needs to be flushed out of congress. Senator? Man our greatest generation got followed up by our worst.

[GregH]

yep super finishing to the ad, I also loved the part where the hunter says according to Ford he has too many guns.

[river rat]

Where's the racism?"
Here's the best explanation I've read:

"Apparently the rule is that under no circumstance can Republicans make any allusion to the romantic/sexual activities of any Democrat without being guilty of some horrible "-ism":"

Is the Democrat a woman? Sexism!
Is the Democrat gay? Homophobia!
Is the Democrat a racial minority? Racism!

And this rule holds true, even when the Democrat is a powerful, middle-aged, white male named Bill Clinton: Sexual McCarthyism!"

I love it!

I'm shocked the ad didn't slap Jr. up against his head for his less than claimed level of mental acuity..

Claims to be a lawyer - but never passed the bar.
Deflects the revelation he attended a Bowl Playboy Party at a football game, by offering "I never attended a Playboy Mansion party".
Crashes his opponent's press conference for media attention, and looked and sounded like a infantile ass.

I'm coming to believe that Jr's primary attributes to run for the Senate, is his almost black skin and the power achieved by his corrupt family in Memphis.
His voting record and his lack of a plan for any of the serious issues of the Republic -- certainly don't speak well of him as a worthy candidate..

But -- he appeals to his base, society's leaches and leftists. That's what scares me.
There may be enough of them in TN..

"Apparently the rule is that under no circumstance can Republicans make any allusion to the romantic/sexual activities of any Democrat without being guilty of some horrible "-ism":"

I really, really hope the producers of the Ford commercial can ridicule this attempt to find racism where no reasonable person would. I'm so sick of politicians, who, when they have no other way to combat the opposing side's point, scream and whine and moan that they've been vicimized because of their skin color, or their cultural background.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

As they say, when all else fails, scream "RACISM". And it is quite clear to me that Harold Ford is screaming to the world that he is the racist. It would appear that he's a bit upset that some dirty deeds of his have been shown in this ad. With his tendency to crash parties where he is clearly uninvited, and his assessment of this ad, Ford doesn't appear to have all his wits about him. Not a good plan, as it doesn't seem to be a good way to make friends and influence people. Unless of course the Senate wants someone like that in their midst. "You blew it Harold, baby!"
