That's still surprising and suggests you don't know much about the history of racism in the South. A Masters in American history obviously gives me more background, but you really should read a book on the subject at some point to educate yourself.

All it tells me is you have a problem with the insinuation of Mr. Ford Shacking up with a white woman by even noticeing it in the add. I could care less. I watched the ad and it did'nt even occur to me until I read comments in thread to this effect. What I thought the ad conveyed was he's a player and proabaly should'nt be a senator, sets a bad example. Would you be happy if they used an indian/chinese or even african amercan model?

I felt the same way, I never even noticed the whole white woman/black man thing until it was brought up in this thread. I was thinking since the woman was portraying a playboy bunny, that the majority of playboy bunnies are white so that is accurate. Now if it was a black woman portraying the playboy bunny in the ad then I'm sure that would somehow be rascist as well, you just can't win.

Originally posted by: JD50 If someone sees rascism from that ad, then they were rascist from the start and would't have voted for a black person anyways. We are going to have to agree to disagree, because I see absolutely nothing rascist in that ad, no matter what someone tells me, republican or democrat.

I think you're mistaken. I would hope that is the case, but the reality is people tend to pick up attitudes from our parents, and some of the attitudes of parents towards Blacks on this sort of issue were ugly. You can have someone who favors Democrats on most issues, but such as ad stirs emotions that can end up affecting how he votes without actually being deliberately racist in his decisions making process. The history of violent reaction at any suggestion that a black man is interested in a White woman in the South is strong. While I realize that the group involved isn't likely to vote for Ford, Bob Jones University banned interracial dating until 2000, (and it was an enforced policy before then and not an oversight that stayed on the books) so its not that this is something no-one in the South cares about anymore. Its fortunately becoming more acceptable, but there are definately people who still have issues with the subject.

This isn't about Ford's voters, it's about turning out racist Republican voters.

So while Corker makes magnanimous and useless protests (the lady doth protest too much, methinks) against "Sweet Cheeks" Mehlman's ad, Ford's response is "class" all the way.

Corker and Sweet Cheeks pull a boner on this one. Woof!

EDIT: And I just want to clarify the whole Playboy Party "scandal". Ford went to a Super Bowl party AT the Super Bowl, which was sponsored by Playboy. There was no nudity, and there were no sex acts.

That is what they're calling a Playboy Party Fundraiser? :laugh:



Wait, that's not funny

 

[senseamp]

Ford said "he likes football and he likes girls," like a real man, not that Porker sissy.

Yep, no question that is what this ad aimed to do.

It's good the Republicans are battling over this thing. The more they do that, the lower their chances are of winning. Racists. Anyone who can't see the racial overtones in that spot have never visited the south.

What I find amusing is Corker protests the ad all over the place, but can't seem to get it pulled. If he can't get his own party to do what he wants as far as advertising for his campaign, how effective will he be as a senator???

And yes, Scarborough called it racist, along with Joe Klein from time. We all know he's such a liberal.

 

[senseamp]

Yep, and GOP's Mehlman says he can't get it pulled either, even though it specifically says "RNC is responsible for content of the ad."
But obviously that's a lie, since GOP is never responsible for anything.

 

[Slap]

The next ad that just starting airing is just as bad.

The second ad, which started Monday, shows two tuxedo-clad young men side by side and claims Ford voted to recognize gay marriage, and a prep school girl in a sweater and plaid skirt with a voiceover saying he "wants to give the abortion pill to our schoolchildren."

 

[Pens1566]

I like how all the strawman arguments in these adds are going unchallenged. Canada taking care of NK??? Please tell me when Ford uttered that nonsense.

Watch Ford b*tch slap Corker and Sweet Cheeks back to the RNC headquarters.

 

[Pens1566]

This is only going to backfire on Corker and the RNC.

GOP getting really desperate. Tennessee is the last nail in their coffin.

Ummm you do realize that Corker is beating Ford in 3 of the last 4 major polls? And in the 4th it is a tie.
Link

(October 24) Corker has now moved out to a 2 point lead in the latest RCP Average, which is also where new Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen polls peg this race. Corker has picked up three points from the previous Mason-Dixon and four points from the prior Rasmussen. This race looks to have perhaps taken a permanent turn toward the GOP, and while Ford is certainly close enough to have a shot, Corker has the definite advantage with two weeks left.

You guys can keep your head and your hopes up, but I think there will be a lot of disappointed Democrats on election night.

These are desperation ads, I don't buy the polls. The insiders know something that is making them lose their cool.

The only way Ford wins is if, on Monday Nov 6th at a Corker campaign stop, Ken Mehlman shows up, puts on his leather thong, and gives Corker a lapdance.

On a random note, I'm gonna try to sneak into the Ford Corker debate this weekend which I don't have a ticker for, does anyone know how pissed the police at those are gonna get if they catch me? I've snuck into Al Gore and John Edward speeches without tickets, but this seems like it might be a little more formal, plus its in the room which is really hard to sneak into unlike the other big hall where the police aparently don't realise there is a back door that you can easily get in threw.

Here is an idea, half way through the debate put on a pair of Bunny Ears and see what happens

oh yeah, thats a good way not to draw attention to yourself. I want to NOT have the cops see me.

You mean you want someone on here to advise you on the means and methods of trespassing? Why not get a ticket or failing ability to do that just forgo the event and read about it. What motivates you? Listening in person to debates and speeches or violating the rights of others?
Not sure how you might have thwarted entry into an Al Gore speech unless they actually wanted more people there which might be the case given it was Gore..

And just like the first, it's not racist.
