John McCain’s latest 30-second campaign ad chastises Barack Obama for being “disrespectful” toward his running mate, Alaska governor Sarah Palin:
The female voice claims Obama disrespected Palin by calling her a liar. But in point of fact, the Obama ad in question, the “No Maverick” posted to YouTube on 8 September merely (truthfully) points out the fact that Palin supported the “Bridge to Nowhere” before she opposed it. Is making a valid criticism being “disrespectful?” Watch:
The unspoken but clear subtext to McCain’s latest attack ad is that an uppity negro is disrespecting a white lady. Shame on John McCain. Shame on him.
