geez, trying to play teacher and correct trolling posts, I inadvertently typed KNOW instead of NOW in #53
Kinda makes my point muteâ€¦.ah well, youâ€™re still a troll there BWS

I take it you’re from Tennessee and home-schooled? The term is “moot” not “mute.” With this ad, the South has proven its unworthiness for self-governance. After the Civil War, we should have just occupied it like the West Bank. We could use it for a dump for our “nook-yoo-lar” waste.

I was at the Playboy party with Ford and others. There wasn’t a single naked black woman present, so the ad is accurate, if a bit tasteless.

give me an half an hour with ropes tied to the bed posts and I will have Corker screaming, “I’m Gay. I’m Gay”.

Are there really any playboy bunnies “partying” on?!? I mean, other than at Heffner’s mansion?

I thought they closed all those clubs during the 70s.

When I read comments like “happy guy” and a few of the other simpletons that are so enamored of the Republican party it makes me sad. They are terribly limited people and they have little or no intellect. That ad is a very subtle form of racism. Personally, I think the ad is of poor quality and if I were Ken (the closet queen) Mehlmann I would not be racing around defending it.l

Bill Cohen is absolutely right–his wife happens to be stunning and she is BLACK!!!

So to “happy crappy” and the other trolls, why don’t you go over to your pal Matt Drudges site or do something constructive for a change/

I think “Happy guy” has blown a gasket. It must be hard being a Bush cultists these days. The cognitive dissonance could make your head explode — assuming you’ve got some brains in there.

No wonder 10% of the black vote is considered a victory for Republicans. Expect it to go dcwn next time.

RuCerious – interesting comment. The gal is neither from Tennessee nor cute. Hey, I lived in Tennessee and trailer trash like that got shipped off to the hills or better – to some other state.

I could actually vote Republican if they got rid of racist liars like Lizzie Dole and put grownups like William Cohen in charge.

Ford will NEVER win in TENNESSEE…

…especially after the REPULSIVESCUM placed that ad…

…with the blonde whispering suggestively for Ford to, “call me”…

…that’ll bring put the al Cracker base in droves…

…in defense of white womanhood…

…against the Black ape (Ford)…

…America ain’t changed….sh***T if anything (with the REPULSIVESCUM inbreds in power)…

… it’s gotten worse….

Does anyone remember the fallout from the Terrell Owens commerical with that lady from desperate house wives?? Why was everyone so upset?? You got it. A black man and a white woman. Ford ad, republicans are looking for the same response.

Comment by marcus+robinson

I think you have nailed it. This is a racist ad without actually saying so. It is pandering to the southern redneck, who is alive and well, but disinclined to be as outspoken on his bigotry as he once was.

Gantt, Willie Horton, another racist ad. And this is news? Shit, itâ€™d be news if such an ad didnâ€™t run. And Cohen- if he canâ€™t see that his beloved party has in fact already played that race card, heâ€™s a moron. But, of course, heâ€™s simply being an ass.

Now if Ford, himself, wasnâ€™t such a craven, pandering schmuck, I might actually care. You donâ€™t think the knuckledraggers in Tenn. canâ€™t size up this race? A moderate Repugnacan pretending to be a Democrat running against one of their own, a real idiot Repugnacan. Duh. For me, I hope Cork cleans his clock.

I live in Tennessee and I’m with you about Ford. He’s a DINO of the highest order. They way he votes with conservatives makes me sick. But I definitely don’t want Corker to win.

Ford may vote with the Republicans 7 out of 10 times, but that’ s 3 times less than Corker would.

Good for the former Senator from the Great State of Maine. The ad is racist and is clearly doing what this group of Republicans do best; try to divide us.

I hope the good people of Tennessee see through the racism and the divisive tactics coming straight from Karl Rove in the White House. He sucessfully smeared John McCain in South Carolina in 2000 with racist remarks and he is doing it again.

It is good to know that not all Republicans view winning at any cost good as good for America. It very much is not good for America. Shame on the RNC. Shame on Ken Melman and Karl Rove. How would Ken Melman like it if folks went around calling him gay?

#62: More and more African Americans has gone to the right. You can look at single snapshots but overall it is true.

Comment by Happy+Guy â€” October 24, 2006 @ 4:08 pm

Oh wow. The Republicans got 2% more African American voters in the last election, bringing down the democrat support to 88%. The article you cited was what people THOUGHT was going to happen. It didn’t have any statistics in it about what DID happen. The reps hoped to get 10-15% extra in the last election, so they failed miserably. I don’t think 2% counts as a mass exodus from the dems. It makes your statement sound pretty silly. Got anything else?
