Does nobody worry when entertianment and politics combine?

That's awesome.

Upvoted so people can see how pathetic and desperate the RNC is this time around.

Can't wait to watch them get their asses handed to them on Election Day.

What's the sexism in that? Sorry excuse for a political ad... The title up there says it was "pulled due to sexism" It should have been pulled or never aired in the first place because is so immature... but I still don't see the sexism.

I guess the playboy party girl was the reason it was pulled.

When liberals lose elections: "The ignorant masses are acting like children! They NEED us to run their lives!

When liberals win elections: (This space closed to lack of use).

Racist, really.. the candidate is black, single, and this is in Tennessee.
This was run by the national RNC - the Republican candidate actually thought it went to far and asked for it to be pulled!

Racist? How is it racist? That claim is even more perplexing than the claim that it is sexist. The GOP should be embarrased about running such an ad to be sure, but I don't see how it's either sexist or racist. Please explain.

But wait, winkler1!

Although Corker asked for the ad to be pulled, it cannot actually be pulled. In other words, I dont think anyone anticipated that the levees would break.



Ahhh . . . GWB Republicans. You may have to go back to Communist Eastern Europe to see graft, corruption, and simple-minded paranoia on such a large scale.

It's amazing how american politics are so much more dirtier than the rest of the world.
These "ADS" that are shown in the US, in any other civilized place would grant the makers and people who paied for them, a law suit for at least, defamation of character.
2 years ago or something like that, in the electoral race for my country's capital city hall, had one of the candidates try to emulate the american style of campaigning. He even decided to use his wife's image as a selling point in posters throughout the city (she's in TV, and she's kinda hot). As if anywhere else in the world, besides the US, the people actually gave a rat's ass to whom the candidate is married. He lost. Big Time.

peretz, see the story I linked to...

there was nothing racist about the ad, unless you aways see things thus ways. It's slanderous, yes. but no sign of racism. The race card is a useful tool to counter attack this ad. too political...

I certainly don't always see things that way (I'm a civil rights defense lawyer), but you don't need too many crayons to color in the RNC's deliberate chain of racial inferences in this ad:

Harold Ford is a young black man + (old Southern prejudicial trope)Young black men are obsessed with sex with white women = White Playboy bunny model begging Harold Ford to call her (wink wink nudge nudge).

Is it as racist as Bull Connor?
Hell, no.

Does it pander to the worst remnants of Southern prejudice?
C'mon it's the GOP.
