Vote Wired News:Did the Clinton Campaign Doctor Obama Footage to Make Him 'Blacker'?
Asked about the assertion made in the Kos blog post, Clinton campaign spokesman Jay Carson said that "the ad capture on Kos is not a capture of our original ad and this entire assertion is ridiculous."

Yet the video below, and the screen grab above, is taken from the Clinton campaign's own footage of their ad posted on YouTube.

Who's doing the race-baiting here? Your chance to vote and decide

3. You act like you've never seen a campaign ad in the past 30 years.

They always do that shit when an opponent is shown.

10. i have said for 8 yr that bushco/rove went beyond....
that is what hillary did. i wont make excuses or just say it is normal. it is not and does not have to be, unless we the people allow it. i am not going to. i have watched the right and the religious right use this means to create hate. towards women, blacks and gays. i sit in the middle of a community that walked this for years with rove and bush. they are sick and tired of it. i dont need to walk into it for another four years because hillary choses that path.

19. Huh?
"They always do that"?????? Who is "they"?

Speak for yourself. Maybe the Rove/Penn's of the world play these games. But, not everybody is dishonest and untrustworthy!

2. Unfortunately doing the darkness when an opponent is shown is a typical political ad technique.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 10:43 AM by xultar
You've all seen the shit before.

If she was the first and only doing it...then I'd say she's a racist.

But you've all seen the commercials where it fades darker when they show the opponent and play the doom and gloom music and then when the chosen candi ate is shown it lightens up as if they brought in the fucking day with their presence and the happy music plays.

Move the fuck alone people nothing to see here that you haven't seen in the past 30 years of campaign advertising.

13. If it isn't racist when they do it to a white candidate then why is it when they do it to a black
candidate.
I love it when white people define what is racist for me. As if little ole negro girl don't fucking know and needs white folk to do it for her.

So you approve if more people do it but don't approve if she was
the only one do it?

20. I didn't say anything about it being racist,
I said just because they do it doesn't make it right. If they darken the white, or darken the dark. It is fundamentally dishonest to change a photo to try influence thinking.

12. They see that the voters are saying, "what just a doggone minute"
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 10:50 AM by MNDemNY
And they do not want any more scrutiny of their candidate. They want the canonization of St. Obama to continue unimpeded.

16. I love it when white folk decide what is racist and what isn't. As if us lil negro folk
can't figure it out for ourselves.
