So Many Racists

Wanted to put this in the News subforum, but didn't know if a political commercial counted as a source, so it goes here.

Link

Things I notice about this commercial...

1. The overwhelming majority of the people in it are white, which seems more likely to prove the point than disprove it.

2. The quote they use says that the majority of the intensely demonstrated animosity towards Obama is due to him being black. I think this is largely true. They're trying to play it off like all liberals think all conservatives are racists.

3. It's just... arghfrgleblergh.

Anyone else want to make fun of it?

Any commercial with that format is just a big dumb dumb face!

Well I guess I am a racist. Damn black president make stupid health care reforms. Shit, if I am a racist, I may as well act like a proper one.

Didn't find this rage-inducing.

Because having two black people make this commercial not racist.

It didn't put me in a rage. I just thought it was silly and ridiculous.

I didn't really think it was silly either.

Actually, didn't think much about it one way or another. I just see it as another volley in the back and forth between parties.

It's kind of self-defeating when the commercial states that only 12% of the people polled went on record as holding this opinion. And in a Rasmussen poll, no less, which means that's as far as they could inflate the numbers through statistical trickery and outright lying!

Of course, this "commercial" and the online "organization" that produced it are nothing more than an advertising scheme to promote a documentary by one Ray Griggs, who mostly appears to be trying to cash in on the "Tea Party" movement of which it is safe to say he's also a part, obviously. The bulk of his other work is mostly aimed toward fundamentalist Christians.

Saying racist over and over again just makes it sound like a blur of nothing. Stupid commercial.

What really puts me in a rage is that there are people who can't see the horrible pit of a health care system we have and think giving people free access to healthcare must by definition be bad.
