North Carolina GOP spokesman Brent Woodcox said donors have responded by sending money to the party to help air the spot.

Just do it.

[PeteB570]

I did.

The only racists are Osama Obama, his Minister of Hate and his Lieberal supporters.

“It’s a fundamentally race-baiting ad,” said Rev. William Barber, state NAACP president. “And it inserts racist sentiments.”

And this so-called Reverend of Barak Obama's comments about white people is what? Wright is not only a racists, he's a hypocrite too. Just as these idiots from the NC NAACP are hypocrites.

[econjack]

Maybe they should direct their venom at the jerk who made the racist statements in the first place: Jeremiah Wright.

Screaming "Racism!" is soooooo Twentieth Century.

The Victim Industry needs new technology.

[RichInOC]

I’d like to remind the NAACP that in the Old Testament, false prophecy was a capital crime.

[Calpernia]

>>>Barber compared the ad to a media campaign in 1898, when several state newspapers distributed racist political cartoons and published stories focusing on black community crimes.

Not comparable at all. A cartoon is fictional depiction. Wrights statements were not.

[Kanzan]

Talk about speaking truth to power. Hats off and best wishes to the NC GOP!

[JohnLongIsland]

The racist NAACP is calling the NC GOP racists.

“Because of the ad, campaign officials for Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole won an agreement from Republican party officials at both state and national levels to ban political party advertisements during her re-election campaign.”

WTF?

“It’s a fundamentally race-baiting ad,” said Rev. William Barber, state NAACP president. “And it inserts racist sentiments.”

Spoken like a man who's just qualified himself for a plum position on the John McCain 2008 campaign staff.

[Levante]

Telling the truth is now “racially divisive.”

Never mind what POS scumbag, the Rev(ulsive) Wright said.

I hope the GOP has the intestinal fortitude and stones to tell the black race baiters to go f**k themselves.

[FormerACLUmember]

Campaign 2008 in a nutshell: ANY CRITICISM of Obama will be “racism.”

[Phantom Lord]

Did the NC NAACP or the national NAACP condem and demand the ad be pulled when an ad was run against republicans telling people if they voted republican black churches would burn?

I would wager a very large sum the answer is no.

[toddlintown]

Run the ad. Tell the truth. And oh, by the may, McCain’s a moron if he decides to continue the Bush “Turn Your Cheek” nonsense that has gone on for 8 years.

[Phantom Lord]

>>>Barber compared the ad to a media campaign in 1898, when several state newspapers distributed racist political cartoons and published stories focusing on black community crimes.

And those cartoons where in support of which party???

Democrat.

[shankbear]

NAACP is nothing but a big pile of racist crappola.

[navyguy]

If the NAACP believes in racial inclusiveness then why don’t they protest the fact hat the Congressional Black Caucus doesn’t allow white people to join.
