Ken Mehlman

Michael Rogers of BlogActive commissioned an ad response to Ken Mehlman's race baiting crapulence targetting Harold Ford Jr.

Yes!

Hey Ken. Call me.

The republicans are so scared of having Harold Ford Jr, a black man as not just the next senator of Tennessee but a black man as the replacement to Bill Frist, that this is what passes to them as fair in the game of political advertising:

Harold Ford is a very smart guy and a shrewd politician. When asked on FoxNews Sunday if he thought the ad was racist, this is what he answered:

WALLACE: Congressman, Bob Corker also ran a radio at in which when they talk about you they have drums beating, and, when they talk about him, they have a symphonic choir singing and playing. Are Republicans playing the race card in Tennessee, or is that too politically explosive for you to talk about?

FORD: You'd probably have to ask Bob Corker and the Republican National Committee. I do know this. The first ad you showed was a piece of smut, and they should not have run that here. I don't know what would make Ken Mehlman or any national Republican believe that we in Tennessee would want to see something like that.
