This ad was not racist, a little over the top but not racist. Harold needs to grow up and realize he can’t dish it out and cry when he gets hit. I admit he is far better than his dad or uncles ever could have hoped to ahve been but for him to say this ad was racist was about the dumbest thing I have ever heard him say ont eh campaign trail. This along with him making a A** out of himself at Bob Croker’s press conference in Memphis sealed his fate, Corker will win this race.

I disagree that "it suck[ed]"--it is HUMOROUS and it is a light-hearted way of calling the cows home . . . it appeals to the GOP base on a variety of hot-buttons and that's smart. And it isn't racist, though it is certainly moralist. Sure, it appeals to stereotypes about Democrats, but every one of the jokes is rooted in a documentable fact. I'm glad that it is still available on youtube.

Greg, not to insult you, but the fact that you would equate Bob Corker to being a member of the KKK causes me to question the value of your opinion. I am, frankly, not surprised that you would be ashamed to reveal your identity. You are certainly entitled to an opinion. But, in this case, your opinion is completely absurd and has no value. And, the rest of your statements merit no comment.

You must be joking! The only thing missing from Corker is a pointed white hat. He / the Republican Party has been playing the race card long before this ad. Look at the one with the blonde taking suggestively inviting H. F. Jr. to meet her later, racist racist racist. You are wrong here, Corker will utilize any means possible to draw blood on Ford Jr. and republicans just eat it up. Corker is a homophobic racist and his own ads speak volumes to that. Let us not forget, Corker was the one cited for hiring illegal immigrants.
