    Who's going to remix this thing to remove all the editorializing, then loop it to 7 hours of actors rejected for KFC ads calling themselves racist?

    What's infuriating is that you know some of the people who agree with this ad's message probably nodded along and said, "Yeah, I think that's right," after the Glenn Beck "Obama hates white people" thing.

    This ad made me sick to my stomach. It's not the blatant ignorance and lies by the cretins who paid for this piece of shit; that's no surprise. It's the 'actors'; the people who appeared in this ad disgust me, especially whoever thought it was a good idea to involve their child. They might not be racists but they certainly are loathsome. I hope they made enough money to ensure that they and their families can afford healthcare for the rest of their lives, because karma can be a real bitch.

    You have to wonder if the people who worked on this ad--I mean the creatives, including the actors; the copywriters; the director and crew; the media buyers--feel even a little bit soiled when they take the money. Find out what they got paid, and you will find out what the going rate for a soul is these days.

    The other 88% of people just think they oppose healthcare reform because they're fucking assholes.

    Also. People who aren't racist don't say "I guess I'm a racist." Ever. Even sarcastically.

    It would be kind of like saying "I guess I'm a rapist" or "I guess I'm a terrorist". It's just not something a normal person would ever say, simply because there would never, ever be a situation in which it would be appropriate, even as a rebuttal to an argument. Saying such a thing even ironically carries a little bit of truth along with it.

    (Or, to simplify my drunken rambling, saying "I guess I'm a racist", even sarcastically, means you probably really are one.)

    @badasscat: I'm nearly positive I must have said something like "I guess I'm a terrorist" ironically at some point. And I don't even know how to assemble a bomb.

    Granted... I DO know how to mail anthrax, if it comes to that.

    @MyNameIsChris: I'm hoping the point at which you said "I guess I'm a terrorist" was nowhere near an airport. I made one teensy whisper of a bomb joke at the airport once and I got patted down by security. Not fun.

    I guess they're all walking sacks of fatty unusable organs when they die from being unable to afford care, who are also racist.

    Wow, they're really going low here, and I mean low.

    12% of voters believe opponents to Obama's health care plan are racist

    59% of GOP voters believe that Sarah Palin shares their values [www.rasmussenreports.com]

    One of these figures frightens me much, much more than the other one.

    I also approve of the sad, wounded dignity of the trump card black guy at the end. It's like the punchline to the whole joke.

    The black guy at the end was as easy to see coming as a Shyamalan ending. Also, that guy is going to have his choice of the blonde republican womenz at his next teabagger meeting.

    @Lysergic Asset: Hey... at least their vocab is better than I was giving them credit for. "Miscegenation" isn't something I'd expect to see them use when they could opt for "Us God fearing white folks breeding with apes."

    Also... why do they have to drag fried chicken into this? What did fried chicken do to anybody!??!?!

    Which is more abhorrent, those who aspire to have their nuptials announced in the Times, or reality show whores?

    Well to do society douches versus nouveau-celebs -- sounds like an interesting cage match to me.
