New York Times: NCGOP Ad About Obama/Wright Was “Manipulative. Shameful. Race-baiting.”
But really, all the ad does is show footage of Obama’s spiritual leader doing his thing and then suggests that the people who endorse Obama, who in turn endorses Wright, aren’t the right sort of leaders for North Carolina.
Here’s the ad again:
I don’t see anything shameful in it. Or manipulative, or even race-baiting for that matter.
It’s interesting that the Times would choose those words to describe this ad produced by Republicans, but not to describe Obama’s pastor himself who routinely employs conspiracy theories about “whitey” (like the US government creating HIV to kill blacks) to manipulate his congregation.
Which is, frankly, pretty shameful.
