Sure, sure, that's Obama. But what about the ad?

The country cannot afford such divisiveness.

It's Obama who is divisive. I've never seen such an "Us" vs "Them" candidate before. Yet the media pushes him as a uniter and attacks all Republicans as divisive.

The ad is simply truthful. That's why the NYT and the rest of the Left hates it.

Is it racism to think that Obama has an overly developed fantasy life and power lust? Is it racism to think Jeremiah Wright is the black version of white trash?

The ad campaign will be free with all of the attention it is getting nationally.

Good work, NC GOP!

Oh Boohoohoo! The NYT is going completely nuts over this tame and truthful. They can't even write whole sentences and have to throw one-word insults around. FUNNY!!!

The NYslimes don't know what racism is. Truth is it's racist to call this ad racist just because there are Blacks in it.

The slimes are racist!!

Do not pull this ad for any reason....the slimes are a bunch of bigoted racist scum.

so....they played audio of something the Rev. actually said - and it was the extreme God “da*&” America.
And then they called it extreme - which it was.

How is this race baiting?
Telling the truth is now race baiting?

This particular ad didn’t mention race - or the Rev. Wright’s extreme racist remarks about whites, jews, and even Jesus.

The assertion that Mr. Obama is “just too extreme for North Carolina” is a clear bid to stir bigotry in a Southern state.

What a stupid and bigoted statement.
Are they implying that the ad would not be bigotry if run in a Northern State?
Do they mean to imply that someone that associates with a person that hates America is okay in say Illinois but not okay in North Carolina?
Does the accusation of bigotry prevent the use of a truthful and accurate statement to be used in a political ad?
Is the implication by the media that Obama can not be attacked at all because he is black?
Wouldn't that be racist?
Basically the media is just fronting for Obama here. if this was anyone else and certainly a Republican they would never have run this ed.

Yep, this ad is exactly the thing that needs to be pointed out to the mainstream; these liberal crybabies know it is extremely effective, and truthful, so they have to lie about it being racist in order to dupe people who haven’t seen it yet.
