Sheesh, I go away from cyberworld for a day, and the Bob Corker campaign decides to turn the racism up to the max.
Jungle drums?? (Listen to the Jungle Drums Corker Radio Ad )
Good Gawd! We're back in the 1950s?
Greg Sargent at TPM Cafe:
We got a copy of the ad from a producer from WGOW radio in Chatanooga. Bill Lockhart, the program director for WGOW, confirmed the authenticity of the ad and that it's running on the station. "They're freaking jungle-drums," Lockhart tells us. "It's racist -- it tries to conjure up deep, dark African moods. Yeah, it's overtly racial."
I listened to the ad. It's true. Every time the narrator talks about Ford, the jungle drums play, when it's Corker's turn, the jungle drums can't be heard.
Unbelievable! They really do think we're stupid.
But this time, the racist ad is not from the RNC, it's from Bob Corker!
This time, Bob Corker has been caught -- for all the world to hear -- My name is Bob Corker and I approve this racist ad.
Is this racist ad playing all over the state, or only in red counties?
I've often wondered if we'd have any racism or homophobia in this state if all 'our leaders' went somewhere else. They don't call them 'leaders' for no reason.
