Holy Racism Batman!

Media Analysts Split on Effectiveness of Obama Infomercial

Wow. That's pretty much all I can say after reading this little tidbit(from the link above):

Bill Thompson, a pioneer in direct response marketing who advised Perot in his presidential bid, said if Obama wins next week, the infomercial was worth the money.

"Sorry to be so visceral, but it's based on results; it's not based on image," he said. "The second thing is, it is likely to help him. I don't see how it could hurt him. It was well done."

But Thompson added that Obama was preaching to the choir.

"I'm not convinced he reached undecided voters," he said, adding that he believes a majority of them won't vote for a black candidate.

"He needed to make himself look totally white," he said, adding Obama should have acknowledged that even though his skin is slightly darker, he's still a regular human being.

"It's going to come down to whether the average Joe or Jane accepts Barack Obama as an African-American or a human being," he said.

ARE YOU SERIOUS????? He needs to make himself look totally white? What the f*ck? Is it the 1930s again and I didn't get the memo? Do you need to be white to run for President in this country?

Are people with darker skin not regular human beings? Are African-Americans not human beings? How could Fox not point out the absolutely blatant racism in what this guy was saying????

This stuff is so damn offensive it's unbelievable. Glad to know Fox has no problems giving a platform to speak to a guy that would say racist stuff like this.
