TIME Calls New McCain Ad Racist. What Do You Think?


This ad on the economy, shows two images of black men and one of a white woman. Because of this, some media outlets are decrying it as racist.

TIME is stating that other advisors to Obama have played a bigger part than Frank Raines and the ad did not show them because they were white. TIME also believes that the image of a white woman was used since older white women are a key swing constituency in this election.

Raines has denied working with Obama at all.

Obama’s camp has responded saying Frank Raines never even advised Obama:
“This is another flat-out lie from a dishonorable campaign that is increasingly incapable of telling the truth. Frank Raines has never advised Senator Obama about anything — ever. And by the way, someone whose campaign manager and top advisor worked and lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shouldn’t be throwing stones from his seven glass houses.”

Do you think this ad is racist?
