You see, Obama ain't one of those polite house negroes, he's one of them dark field negroes. Don't vote for the field negro!

Fucking scumbags.

Here are the kos links, and here's the ad on Clinton's site

It just doesn't make sense that they cropped the video of Obama and then stretched it. Why not just crop it to fit the half the screen in the first place and not stretch it?

Saying nothing about darkening the image but we all remember how Newsweek and Time did that with OJ.

I don't know whether you guys noticed but the the child's pajama's had apparently NIG letter patterns in the now famous recent 3:00 am phone call ad on the weekend. Now this post by Steve Benen discredits the subliminal advertising message a little too quickly I thought, but subliminal advertising -video is certainly used by big Madison Avenue advertisers and it is more than just conjecture whether the Clintons in the past had a pattern of employing the 'N' word or not.

Where are all the left wing comments that Hussein Obama is unfit to be president because of his past alchol/drug use, and his participation in homosexual activities? He's one up on GWB who likes women and always has. Don't I remember the left wing hype that they are fair and balanced?
I guess that's like the count every vote and every vote counts except Florida and Mi.
I guess every non-Islamist, (or those that deny Islam) states that when the chips are down 'I will stand with Islam'. Every democrat is now a hypocrite.

I used to think some of my friends on the right were bat-sh*t crazy paranoid about the Clintons. Now it's the left. Maybe it's just something they exude, an emanation from their value-neutral, ideology-free ambition that alerts some folks like the high-pitched whistles only dogs can hear.

Seriously, in order to believe this is some hidden racist ploy, you must also believe that: 1) there could be some advantage to be gained in a Democratic Primary by very slightly darkening the picture of Obama (or that Hillary and/or her professional staff believed there would be), 2) the advantage incurred thereby would be enough to be worth the risk of being caught, 3) the risk of getting caught would be low, despite the number of people who would have to had some knowledge of it, and 4) that the advantage gained and risk accepted would be more important to the campaign than the words Obama was speaking, that he had been too busy campaigning for the last year or so to hold a hearing of his Senate subcommittee which oversees our operations in Afghanistan.

OR, as often happens in digital media, perhaps the very process of copying and editing altered the picture quality somewhat, or maybe some apolitical techie adjusted the clip because he thought it was too bright or sharp to fit in with the dark tone of the commercial. Occam's Razor.

Jim, this is part of larger pattern of Hillary Clinton .."as far as I know"

This is the easiest thing in the world to do in video prodiction or photography is to manipulate contrast, luminence and hue to make someone look however unattractive or sinister you want. it takes about one minute to do..I thought this blog comment pretty well sums up what Hillary is trying to do

What racist ads? The ones where TV footage of Obama was distorted to make him look darker skinned and broader of nose. Fear the black man! Daily Kos has pictures of the ad. jack and Jill Politics has the reactions of some African American Democrats.

We aren't idiots if we expect out Presidential candidate to maintain reasonable norms of responsible social behavior.

I forgave HRC for supporting the war, voting for the Marriage Act and that stupid flag burning thing, the Iran Resolution, opposing net neurality, her Republican stance on Cuba, the failure to show for the FISA ---I was even willing to vote for her after the lies about Planned Parenthood, Rezko, the Nafta memo, even after the empty suit sneers, the leak about Obama's supposed connection to the Weather Underground--sheesh the list goes on and on.

But to darkern his skin tone in order to make him look more black in hopes that dark skin will turn off voters and turn them toward Hillary?

Forgive that?

If racism is forgivable in our Presidential candidate, then why should I bother being a Democrat?

Hillary would sacrifice all of principles, the few she has left in order to win the presidency.
