"I don't even know what Hispanic thing you're talking about..."

The issue of racism was recently taken to a new level. We've been discussing the adds for a couple of days and this strand of discussion started with you responding to a post of mine where I referenced them. Here is the pertinent part of the add that was being aired on Spanish television in Colorado and Southwestern states, which had an immediate and profound effect, pushing Colorado's poll numbers dramatically in favor of Obama:

"The most egregious example of Obama's shifting strategy is a new Spanish-language ad called "Dos Caras." Airing in the crucial Southwestern swing states of Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, the spot attempts to equate McCain with Rush Limbaugh on immigration. As a picture of the conservative talk-radio host appears onscreen beneath a pair of bigoted-sounding quotes--"Mexicans are stupid and unqualified" and "Shut your mouth or get out"--John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces."

I am sorry you were not able to follow along. Maybe not everyone who has followed the campaign knows that Linbaugh and McCain have opposing views on these issues but Obama definitely does, so he owns this disgusting and dishonorable racist propaganda. You probably support it.
