Anti-Harold Ford Ad Features Jungle DrumsPosted on Oct 26, 2006
Just how racist can Bob Corker get? The GOP Senate candidate has produced a radio ad that features African-sounding jungle drums at every mention of his opponent, Rep. Harold Ford, who is black.

My question is…...........
Report thisWhy didn’t the Republicans stop this deplorable ad?
Who did the ad play to? Racists! Only a racist would
accept an ad such this. Senator Maclain made a
statement that ads like this should be againt the law.
Yet not one Republican stopped it, not a one.
Corker should be treated as a pariah in the senate,
by both parties. I saw on the news where Corker
told Mr. Ford he didn’t have anything to do with the
ad. Hellooooooooooooooooo. He could have
stopped it at any given time. To think anyone
in our great country would go back to the civil
rights era and condone this is totally unbelievable.
I hold the Republican Party responsible for this.
The media came out and spoke against it.
Someone is responsible. Shame on them!
Stand up and take responsiblity those who paid
for the ad. We have yet to learn who is responsible
since Corker, (who I refuse to address as Senator)
disclaims any knowledge of such an action.
Those of you who saw the ad and still voted for
the Corker of all, need to take a class in
sensiblity training.
I hope you can live with your vote.

Of course this kind of racism is beneath contempt, but remind me again why I’m supposed to get all worked up. This is Harold Ford, right, who has made gratuitous gay-bashing and gay-baiting part of his campaign strategy?
