Bob Corker Calls On State Party To Stop Playing Online Video Targeting Michelle Obama


(AP) Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., has asked the Tennessee GOP to pull its Michelle Obama online video that her Democratic presidential candidate husband criticized.

The video features replays of Michelle Obama saying that "for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."

Sen. Barack Obama criticized the Tennessee GOP as "low class" for posting the video. Michelle Obama has said her comments were misconstrued.

Tennessee Republican Party spokesman Bill Hobbs declined comment when contacted by the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Corker's chief of staff, Todd Womack, said in a statement that their office has "strongly encouraged the national party and state parties to absolutely refrain from getting involved in negative personal campaigning."

But I want to say, I am the same age as Michelle, came of age during Reagan, and I know EXACTLY what she meant.

:rofl:

The essence of Corker's campaign: "I do declare, this Negro likes him some fancy cars, and you might could faint to have him round your blonde granddaughter. Mmm hmmm."

Over and over and over.

It's all they got.

Run it and ask for it to be pulled. Seems to be the GOP's modus operandi lately. The ad gets played, the point gets out, they look like heroes having it pulled.

Disgusting!

so they can also repeat the offensive message, but ever-so-slyly.

But if the Dems win a large enough majority this November, it may be time to "revisit reconstruction".

Seriously, looking at the "wingnut" electoral map of the past half century, you'd have sworn the South won the war!

Since the Smear Boaters character attacks, FEC rules have been adjusted to only allow 527 to stick to issues, not character. This prevents the candidates and parties from hiding behind them during the campaign. AS mentioned on Centrisity this AM:



So not only are campaigns and parties going to try and steer away from being labeled a bad guy, 527s will be hushed as well. I'm not cynical enough to believe this will be a clean fight, but it may not be as bad as what they did to Kerry

Bush has nominated a famously anti- clean elections idiot for commissioner, so the Dems have to block him, shutting the FEC down. That's so McLame can unleash the dogs of war.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too!
