Is this racist?

John McCain denounced this ad as "racist". Huh? What is racist about it? It doesn't talk about race at all, in fact it doesn't say anything about it! What it does bring up is the judgement of Moore and Perdue, something very pertinent to this election. It points out that Obama associates and surrounds himself with questionable (at best) and radical people. Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko and Jeremiah Wright, all people that are completely out of touch with the rest of the country, maybe even with reality itself.

The problem with bringing up the issue of race is that it becomes a hot button. If you get any where NEAR it sensors go off and everything blows up. Why go there? You don't have to. Take the high ground, trust me, it's WIDE OPEN TERRITORY. John McCain should have said, "It just sounds to me like they are questioning Obama's associations and the judgement of Moore and Perdue in endorsing him, which are two issues that the people of North Carolina really need to consider."

I know McCain is tough. He's been tough on conservatives for years now! I wish he would show his Democratic challengers the same kind of "love" that he's been showing us.
