Obama Racism/Muslim/Unpatriotic/Scary Black Dude Watch, #71

Via dday at Hullabaloo, who files this under "Miscegenation Dogwhistle Watch," comes this new John McCain advert:


Says dday, quite rightly:

There's no reason to include Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in this ad. None. It hangs on the word "celebrity" being included, which means it could have just as well been Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Anyway, all the footage is from Obama's Berlin speech, not the red carpet. This is absolutely meant to juxtapose images of white women with images of a black man.

Which is not only accurate, but underlines the misogynist superfluity of Josh Marshall's ridiculous description of Spears and Hilton as "oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women." Anyway…

Once again, McCain reveals himself to be eminently, shockingly willing to embrace the heinous tactics of the Bush team that he once deplored. That anyone still considers this guy an honorable rogue, a maverick, or a hero is beyond laughable. He doesn't possess any lingering shred of integrity, and his alleged independent streak came to a screeching halt as it collided with the stumbling zombie corpse of his credibility the moment he stood in New Hampshire with his arm around the shoulders of the man whose operatives called his wife a junky and his adopted daughter illegitimate. He may have been honorable and brave once upon a time, but he’s not anymore.

And if this advert doesn't prove that once and for all, I don't know what will.
