NRCC pulling subtle race card on Madia

The ad hit either today or yesterday. The NRCC is behind it, watch and notice just how subtly darker they shade Madia in the ads. They are subtly playing the race card with Madia. The same OJ effect on the cover of Time Magazine years ago.

1. didn't seem so subtle to me

Madia was several shades darker. Their ads have no solutions; they just argue that democrats will raise taxes. Broken record. Broken record.

2. It was subtle as in not completely explicit

But it is pretty obvious.

3. I thought the same thing. Subtle as a slap in the face.

It's disgusting and totally expected from today's Republican party.

4. KARE finally did a story on it

http://www.kare11.com/news/elections/election_article.aspx?storyid=528296&catid=222

A Republican attack ad invites viewers to "meet the real Ashwin Madia," but the still photos featured in the spot present a noticeably darker version of the 3rd District DFL congressional candidate.

"At least three of the photos of Madia were obviously darkened, using one method or another," public affairs and media consultant Dean Alger told KARE 11.

He said the viewing public has grown accustomed to hearing distorted claims, or statements and votes used out of context. However, Alger asserts the altered images of Madia, the son of Indian immigrants, crosses a line.

"There is an attack ad tactic that goes beyond distortion, and frankly, is a betrayal of what Minnesota politics is all about."
